Chapter 657: Chapter 660

It was after Victoria’s reminder that everyone from West Family suddenly remembered Sophia’s fast, so they attentively looked at her. Only a fool wouldn’t want to see this!

With a dark look on his face, Michael was about to berate her when he heard Sophia replying with a nonchalant expression on her face. “What? My uncle… I’ve already sent him abroad.” Glancing at Victoria with a cold expression, she clearly enunciated everything. “They are living a great life there now, doing an unprofitable business while serving the upper-class society… in a state of misery. Why, do you want to visit them?”

Of course Victoria was the only one who heard the few sentences at the end. She was so shocked that her entire body jumped as it broke out in cold sweat.

However, Sophia never planned to let them off the hook. After quenching her thirst with a cup of tea, she looked at her red nails while saying, “In university, I heard that we have a pair of famous sisters from the Edwards Family. The elder sister became a mistress to a man old enough to be her father. Rumor has it that she tried to seduce him when his wife was pregnant. Young Lady Edwards became someone’s mistress, tsk… On top of that, I also heard that the younger sister is jobless and good-for-nothing. After being unable to sustain in the entertainment industry, she returned to work in her family business, but misused the money to buy luxurious items. When she tried to start a business, it failed and she’s still spending her parents’ money until now. She even became engaged thrice, but it was called off twice because of her messy private life when her fiance caught her cheating with other men. My, oh, my, I can’t believe such incidents would happen in the Edwards Family, causing the family’s reputation to be affected. It’s fine if they merely humiliate themselves, but they ended up dragging their parents, siblings, and relatives down with them. These b*tches deserve to die!”

Sophia seemed oblivious to the sisters’ sudden change in expression as well as the West Family who were stunned into silence while muttering, “Luckily they are not from the main branch of the family. No matter what, they just can’t present themselves decently anywhere. If they want to humiliate themselves, we’ll just let them continue doing so.” As she did so, she admired her beautiful fingernails.

Others would not have believed it, but after Nicholas was updated in the factory, it could make wool jackets and even perform manicures.

Silence suddenly hung in the air. Michael, who was not far from her, stopped and secretly smiled. My chica never allows herself to be bullied! Each sentence is worse than the last.

Of course everyone knew who she referred to—the two sisters, Judy and Victoria. As the women from West Family were usually housewives, they worked hard with their husbands to start their businesses, but did not have the knowledge or the capabilities to manage a company. So, they merely played cards and gossiped at home. By that point, they already knew everything about the sisters.

However, they had secretly talked about it because no one dared to do so in front of them.

All the wives in the West Family led a hard life with their husbands because they were currently able to enjoy a luxurious life. However, Judy was different from them—as she was from a wealthy family, everyone was afraid of her. On top of that, she was used to being the person in charge of the West Family, so the women were not her match. However, they never expected that she still wanted to call the shots outside the household.

Judy is courageous indeed to have breached Sophia’s most taboo topic in front of her husband. Serves her right for being humiliated!

Judy and Victoria finally knew that they met someone who was not easy to be bullied and being careless since they were dealing with those naive women from the countryside in the West Family.

Then, she suddenly recalled another topic and asked tentatively, “The Edwards Family’s Annual Meeting is around the corner. Have you received the invitation, Sophia?”

Edwards Family’s Annual Meeting? Sophia frowned. As Joe and his brother were acknowledged by the Edwards Family, it meant that they could participate in the annual dinner. It should be that annual dinner she’s referring to.

Upon seeing Sophia’s frown, Victoria found the perfect opportunity to flaunt herself. She described the annual dinner last year with excitement, trying to show off with every single sentence she spoke—the helicopter pad was full of private jets and many luxurious yachts were also docked at the pier. She also mentioned the opulence, the luxurious scale of the event as well as the red flags and the number of invited guests…

Victoria then deliberately added, “The invitation was sent to me two days ago with my parents’ name on it. In addition, the names of Uncle Joe, his wife, and Faye are also printed on the invitation. Even the name of my sister, who’s already married, is also written on it. It’s a pity that I can’t search for your name anywhere on it. Perhaps it’s because you were reunited with the family a little late, so your name is not on the list yet. I’m afraid you can’t make it to the annual dinner anymore…”

Huh, it’s just an annual dinner—yet she flaunts about it as if she’s a country lady who has just arrived in the city. About the Edwards Family’s Annual Meeting… Even if I’m invited, I won’t go. In fact, I don’t even feel like going! After all, my husband’s ex, who looks like his mother, will also be there. Sophia responded, “That’s probably the case and I haven’t changed my name. A daughter who has married is like water that has been poured out. I’m also too lazy to go.”

However, Victoria felt that she had won the round. It’s the annual dinner, after all. Who doesn’t want to go?

By that time, everyone in the Edwards Family—including those who were married—will be there. All of them had to gather at the family head’s private island. With the pier full of docked yachts and a helipad full of private jets, it would indeed be a huge event and worth living to attend it once.

Sophia must be dying to go, so she’s playing dumb! Victoria pretended to console her. “Sophia, don’t worry. I’ll send tons of photos to you after the event so that you’ll feel like you were in attendance.”

Sophia smiled as she could no longer stand seeing Victoria’s proud expression. “I heard that you say the annual dinner is held on a small island every year. If it’s on an island, I’m afraid we can’t make it anyway.”

Victoria quickly asked, “Why?”

Sophia replied, “My airplane is gigantic—it’s a private Boeing jet. There won’t be enough space for us to land the place on the helipad.”

Victoria was stunned upon hearing that. She has a private airplane?

Sophia added, “As for the boats we own… It’s a mini-sized military ship from an auction in Russia. We usually use it to go and fish. I’m afraid that there won’t be any space for the rest after we dock our ship.”

Both Victoria and the West Family were shocked beyond belief upon hearing it.

Then, Sophia continued, “I guess it’s alright after all. We have an even bigger island near the island that belongs to the Edwards Family. We can dock our ship there and use a smaller airplane to fly to that island.”

The West Family were dumbfounded upon hearing that. Poverty has definitely limited our imaginations.

She no longer wanted to talk nonsense with Victoria anymore and waved at Nicholas. “Give Mommy a glass of milk, Nicholas.”

In no time, the robot respectfully came over with a glass of milk and passed it to her. “Mom, here’s your milk.”

They had already noticed the smart robot, Nicholas. After all, everyone who knew Taylor Murray was aware that he had a unique smart robot, who was famous online.

Victoria quickly said, “What a sweet robot. Let me touch it.”

Sophia replied, “Be careful. He costs a few hundred millions.”

Victoria retracted her hands in shock.

Nicholas joked, “My accessories are made from state-of-the-art technology. The maintenance fees are rather expensive; even if we sold you off, it won’t be enough.”

Victoria gave a dry laugh upon hearing that.

With that, Sophia bade farewell with all of them before leaving with Nicholas.

On the other hand, Michael had overheard their earlier conversation. Sophia isn’t included in the invitation card that the Edwards Family passed to Joe?

When he returned home, he took the time to flip through the mails that Villa No. 8 received. As they had not been home for the past few days, the invitations they received were as high as a small hill. After pursuing the list of envelopes, he eventually found the invitation by the Edwards Family. The first line bore Sophia and Taylor’s name. So, the Edwards Family had privately sent the invitation to Sophia!
