The Legendary Man Chapter 318

The Banquet Of The Maxwells

Sophia became the center of attention as soon as she got out of the car.

She was still the most outstanding in the crowd despite not intentionally dressed and freshened up, even appearing somewhat exhausted.

She did not need to showcase herself on purpose to stand out and attract everyone’s attention.

“Jonathan, let’s go in!” Although the wealthy ladies were whispering, Sophia still heard them. Nevertheless, she was too lazy to care.

After all, she was not a confrontative person and did not like arguing with others.

She would simply avoid those that she did not like.

“All right!”

Jonathan nodded and started walking toward the Maxwell residence.

As for those gossipy women outside the door, he merely regarded them as nonexistent.

Sophia might not pick a fight with others, but that did not mean others would not cross her.

The moment she reached the doorway, a woman in a red dress instantly blocked Sophia’s way.

“Wow. Isn’t this Sophia Goldstein, the third daughter of the Goldstein family? What brings you here today? Aren’t you always high and mighty and dislike attending banquets?” The red-dressed woman pursed her lips as she stood in Sophia’s path.

“Lydia invited me here!”

Sophia did not want to waste time on them, nor did she want to get into a dispute.

She would absolutely not have come here if it weren’t because Lydia was going to leave Yaleview tonight.

Sophia did not like rowdy events and preferred quietness, to begin with.

“You’re here just because Lydia asked you to?” The woman’s lips twitched as she said, “Why didn’t you at least dress up before attending, then? Don’t you know the banquet tonight is the biggest one the Maxwells have ever hosted? Aren’t you embarrassed to arrive wearing this?”

“What’s there to be embarrassed about? Aren’t you also here, dressed like that?” Sophia might have a good temper, but that did not mean Jonathan did too.

“Who do you think you are? You have no right to speak.” The red-dressed woman’s expression changed when she heard Jonathan’s words. She then looked at Sophia mockingly. “Sophia, I genuinely didn’t expect you to secretly keep a toyboy! You’ve always pretended to be aloof. You know what, even if you did, you shouldn’t have brought him here. You ought to let him look himself in the mirror. Someone like him does not belong in a high-end event like this.”

“You’d better stop spewing nonsense. He’s my nephew!” explained Sophia in a hurry when she heard the red-dressed woman calling Jonathan a toyboy.

Jonathan was not one to have a good temper.

The last time someone called him that, he had broken all of that person’s limbs.

Sophia did not wish the red-dressed woman to end up like that person.

“What nephew? Step-nephew or blood-related nephew?” The woman chuckled coldly. “If it’s the former, are you two sharing a bed?”

The group of girls behind her instantly covered their mouths and snickered upon hearing that.

It was evident that everyone understood her meaning.

“You…”
