Chapter 25
Jessica looked up in the direction of the hand. By the time she saw the owner of that hand, the expression on her face had frozen.
“Hey, Jessica, it’s you. Why are you shopping here in a men’s clothing store? Are you dating someone?” Sophia saw it was Jessica, and she spat out harsh and mean words.
Jessica immediately withdrew her hand as if she had gotten electrocuted.
“Jessica, don’t you look at yourself in the mirror every morning? I mean, look at your appearance. I don’t understand why some men would like to date you. You didn’t pay them to date you just as your mother did, did you?” Sophia said with a sneer.
Her eyes were gleaming with sarcasm.
Jessica went scarlet in the face. She fiddled with her hands nervously and kept her head low. She seemed so ashamed that she wanted to take refuge in no man’s land.
“Sophia, did you brush your teeth with a toilet brush this morning? Why do I smell a disgusting smell from your mouth when you talk? I am going to be sick.” Marina, who had been resting at the side, straightened up and walked to Sophia slowly as she caught sight of her.
“Caroline? Why are you here too?” Sophia’s look changed drastically when she set eyes on Marina..
“Caroline? That shitty person has given me this name, which is not worthy of me at all. If you dare call me by that name again, I will knock your teeth out of your mouth, and you won’t be able to talk again!” Marina shot a baleful glance at Sophia.
Sophia was frightened by Marina’s look and took a few steps back.
Sophia thought, “Is this woman insane?
“How dare she look at me with such eyes after being missing for a year?”
But for a short time, Sophia had her wits about her.
She didn’t care how crazed and arrogant Marina was anymore.
In her heart, Marina was just a play toy of men.
And she was the beloved person of the future leader of the Campbell family.
There was a world of difference between Marina and her. She was the white cloud in the sky, while Marina was the dirt on the ground.
The thought of that emboldened Sophia.
“Jessica, I thought you had improved much in the past year. Now I see I was wrong. No matter how long you have been staying in our house, you can’t hide your slutty aura. Not only is your mother a home–wrecker, but even your friend is the plaything of men. You birds of a feather flock together.”
Sophia went out alone to pick a gift for Gordon today, so she didn’t need any disguise.
She revealed her true self as being acrimonious when she was facing Jessica.
Jessica felt every word coming out of Sophia’s mouth was like a dagger stuck mercilessly in her heart.
Her face turned pale in a flash. She looked as if she would faint and fall in no time.
Chapter 25
“Well, well. You are putting on that weak and helpless face again. Did you act like that all the time to seduce those men? But I think with your face, no one will be interested in you even if you strip yourself naked in
front… Ouch!”
Before Sophia could finish her words, she felt a slap on her face.
She retreated several steps out of the force of the slap.
If Sophia hadn’t hit the shelves behind her, she would have fallen to the ground at that moment.
Sophia felt her head dizzy and buzzing.
“Whoops. I haven’t fought with people for a long time, so I probably exerted too much force with that slap,” said Marina, who, on the other hand, twisted her wrist with dissatisfaction.
“Caroline Campbell, how dare you have the guts to slap me?” When Sophia came to herself, she scolded Marina through gritted teeth.
Marina’s face turned grim, and rage emerged in her eyes when the name “Caroline Campbell” reached her ears. She hurried forward, clenched her fist tight, and punched Sophia’s mouth..
Her punch finally knocked Sophia down to the ground.
Before Sophia fell, she hit the cupboard near her, and the shirts and pants inside it dropped and scattered
everywhere.
Jessica was astounded by what had happened in front of her.
She stood on the spot, round–eyed, and her mind went blank completely.
The commotion the three of them caused attracted the shop assistants.
The shop assistants didn’t know what was happening, but when they saw Sophia lying on the ground, they wanted to come up to hold her up.
“Listen, I will knock down whoever tries to get her up!” Anyone present could hear the menace in Marina’s
voice.
Those shop assistants were shocked by the fierceness she showed.
No one dared to take one more step forward.
Marina smiled with satisfaction, thinking that the shop assistants were quite obedient.
They could see which way the wind was blowing.
Sophia, unconscious due to a punch right in the face from Marina, gradually woke up.
She felt that her mouth was numb and then touched it with her trembling hand.
When Sophia put her hand down, she noticed the redness on her fingertips.
Sophia’s face became very white at once, and soon, her tongue touched something hard inside her mouth.
She turned her head and spat out her teeth. By the time she saw them, she nearly fainted.
Because those were her two front teeth!
How could that bitch Caroline hit her teeth out?
Chapter 25
“You… You actually knocked my teeth out!” Sophia uttered indistinctly because both of her front teeth were missing.
