Chapter 1241: Chapter 1246

Tiffany’s tone was full of confidence, as if she was implying that Sophia was not letting her meet Cooper because Sophia was afraid he would fall in love the moment he set his eyes on Tiffany.

Sophia stopped in her tracks but she didn’t rebuke Tiffany.

Fine! I admit that this woman is so gorgeous she is dangerous. I really am scared that Dad won’t be able to stay calm. Even I, a woman, can’t help but want to stare at her beauty. Moreover, everyone is gathered in the house to celebrate New Year’s Eve today. There are many men and women, and my husband… More importantly, today is supposed to be a happy day filled with celebrations. I don’t want someone who will ruin the mood to enter the house.

Anna is probably not someone who will ruin the mood… After all, she is my biological mother. However, Tiffany and Betsy are not allowed to step foot in the house!

“Let’s go. It’s freezing outside,” Callum urged as he thought to himself, I heard that their family cooks a giant salamander every New Year’s Eve. It is a luxury and I really want to try it out!

Cade, on the other hand, was carrying a bag in his hand. Even though it was a little impolite to visit on New Year’s Eve, Carmen said that there was something really urgent on the phone so Anna actually came and she brought some food over.

The reason she came this time was also for business.

The group of people was about to head in. Sophia was too lazy to bother with Tiffany and her group so she directly put on a cold expression from the beginning, hoping to mess up their relationship.

Don’t even think about sleeping with my dad!

Tiffany stood by the roadside and her charming European eyes were filled with disdain and contempt.

“It seems that Fass… is really scared to see me.”

She purposely raised her voice as she spoke. It was as if she was reminding Sophia but at the same time, Tiffany sounded like she was boasting. She was confident that as long as she did a little seducing, any man would fall for her beauty.

Hearing this, Sophia stopped in her tracks. Then, she suddenly turned her head around and said tactfully, “Miss Tiffany, you probably don’t know the customs in Cethos. We celebrate New Year’s Eve so it is not convenient for us to receive visitors. Please leave.”

Tiffany didn’t seem to pay attention at all as she countered, “Doesn’t Cethos have a saying that goes, ‘it’s a pleasure to have friends coming from afar’? Besides, I’m not a visitor; I’m Fass’s fiancée. We will be family soon.”

When Tiffany said this, she gave Anna a provocative glance. In her eyes, Anna—who was casually dressed—was no competition at all.

Unexpectedly, Sophia immediately retorted, “Cethos also has another saying, ‘the uninvited are not welcomed’. You seem to not realize that your behavior is really rude. Furthermore, my father has already broken off the engagement with you. He already has a new girlfriend and they are in a stable relationship. There’s another famous ancient quote in Cethos—‘it is better to tear down ten temples than destroy one marriage’!”

Upon hearing that, Tiffany stroked her fur coat with her slightly wrinkled fingers and said, “Cethosians really treasure filial piety and pay attention to promises of marriage arrangements by parents. I am the woman that your great grandfather chose to marry your father. If Fass doesn’t marry me, he will be unfilial.”

Wow! Is this f*cking foreigner deliberately discussing traditional Cethosian culture with me?

Sophia was intrigued and she chuckled. Stepping forward, she said loudly, “Well, my father didn’t break his promise but you, Miss Tiffany… From what I heard, less than a year after your engagement with my father, you broke off the engagement and rushed into a new life. You got married to a politician, which means you broke the promise yourself.”

However, Tiffany didn’t think that she did anything wrong.

“Back then, Fass personally promised me that I’m free to marry whoever I want. I helped him a lot in his early years and he is grateful to me. Now that I’m single, he should marry me.”

Sophia couldn’t help but scoff and she realized that she was worried for nothing.

My dad hasn’t been tempted for the past twenty years so Tiffany’s appearance won’t change a thing. I really can’t understand what the old generation of Michel family were thinking! They literally invited a fox into the house!

Do they want her to marry and divorce Dad in a flash so that she can take half of his wealth?

Even Carmen couldn’t stand it any more. With her hands on her waist, she said, “Stop trying to hit on Grandpa! He has already given me all of his wealth, so you won’t be able to have a share of his assets even if you marry him, not even a dog!”

Looking at Carmen, Tiffany tilted her head and smiled. “Sweetie, you don’t understand adult matters.

Your grandfather and I love each other. I want to marry him and I’m willing to do the notarization of pre-

marital property and promise not to take any of his money.” There was a shrewd flicker in her eyes as she slowly spoke with her sensual red lips. “All I want is him and his heart.”

Hearing this, Sophia secretly snorted. She probably says that to all of her ex-husbands!

“It doesn’t matter what you say,” Sophia argued. “My dad’s grandfather is dead and the Michel family is under my dad’s control. Even if you have an engagement, what can you do? If you are capable, you can try kidnapping my dad—the world’s second arms dealer—and force him to marry you. Oh—and one more thing…”

She purposely glanced at Tiffany in contempt and continued, “You should have a little more self-

awareness. My father has known you for twenty years yet you have failed to seduce him. You won’t succeed even if I give you another twenty years.”

Sure enough, Sophia saw the veins on Tiffany’s forehead bulge.

I knew Tiffany would care about that a lot! Seems like Dad really is super strong. Twenty years have passed and he still hasn’t fallen into this woman’s trap!

Even Anna, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but purse her lips and chuckle.

Tiffany scoffed and murmured, “Little girl, you really are clever. Unfortunately, you don’t understand. I’m the only person in the world who can match your father in wealth, influence, and beauty. Are you willing to let your father find a woman who isn’t compatible with him in every aspect?”

When Tiffany said this, she glanced at Anna. It was obvious that she wasn’t bothered about her.

Sophia scoffed deep down. It was New Year’s Eve so she didn’t want to scoff out loud.

And so, she deliberately held Anna’s arm as she announced loudly, “Mom, let’s go. It’s the New Year’s and everyone is waiting for you!”

Upon hearing that, Anna was stunned but she soon played along. In a gentle voice, she replied, “Okay.

Your father is probably getting anxious.”

I have never thought being called ‘mom’ by Sophia would make me happy. It seems to be some kind of strange magic.

It was Carmen who invited Anna over. Seeing that Sophia had agreed, Carmen felt more confident and she dragged Anna into the house. “Come on, Grandma; let’s go! Just ignore them!”

As Tiffany watched them, there was a dark look in her eyes. Back then, she spent a lot of effort to win Cooper’s heart. Not only did she give him wealth, manpower, and power itself, in order to speak the same language as him, she became fluent in the Cethosian language.

At that instant, her superb language proficiency made her find the perfect description to accurately express the situation at the moment.

“You’re just a toad who wants to marry a swan!”

There was a sudden silence. It wasn’t until Callum—who continued to stay and watch the commotion even though he was shivering from the cold—broke the silence because he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

Her Cethosian language skills are pretty amazing!
