Chapter 1224

Pamela nodded and smiled. “Thank you. That’s very thoughtful of you. But why don’t you leave the

pastries here first? I’ll have them when I come back. Sorry for not keeping you, but I have to attend to a

family matter. But please do come again another day! I’ll cook lunch for you then.”

Sophia smiled demurely. “It’s okay, Grandma. There’s no need to feel bad about it. By the way, are you

going out? Shall I give you a ride?”

“No, it’s fine. We won’t want to take up any more of your time, so we’ll ask the family driver to give us a

ride. After all, that’s what we pay them to do.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. I’m completely free this afternoon,” said Sophia warmly.

Francine always hated Sophia. It annoyed her that Sophia came every two or three days to spend time

with Pamela and Greg. She was not really worried about Pamela being swept away by her charm since

she was a woman too and knew what Sophia was trying to do.

However, Greg was a different story. He was smitten by Sophia’s charm. It was obvious he liked Sophia

more than Corinne as he would always praise her for her cheerful and down-to-earth personality.

Francine could not help but feel angry when she recalled that.

“That’s enough, Sophia! Give up. I know what you’re trying to do, but Jeremy will never like you!”Books

Sophia shrugged helplessly. “Francine, you’re getting the wrong idea. I was just trying to be kind by

offering a ride to you and your grandmother. I really have no other ulterior motives,” she said

innocently.

Francine rolled her eyes. “As if I’m going to believe that! Let me tell you something: Corinne is already

back, so it’s game over for you. No amount of sucking up to my brother or my grandparents will ever

work out in your favor!”

Sophia was first stunned to hear this, but she then smiled. “Really? Corinne’s back? Where is she?

Grandma, are you going to see her now? Can you please bring me with you? I’ve been dying to meet

her!”

Pamela frowned, upset that Francine could not keep her big mouth shut.

“Sophia… I know you mean well, but how about you meet her another day? She must be tired since

she just came back. I don’t think she’ll have the energy to meet new people, so I’ll introduce her to you

another day.”

“Don’t worry, Grandma. I promise I won’t bother her,” insisted Sophia cheerfully. “I think I might be the

reason why Corinne suddenly left Jeremy, so I want to clear up the misunderstanding with her.”

Pamela thought Sophia’s reasoning sounded logical, so her resolution started to waver. ‘She’s right.

She’s probably the reason why Corinne ran away from home. Corinne might just get back with Jeremy

after hearing Sophia’s explanation.’

Francine scoffed. “Grandma, we should just let her come with us. She owes Corinne an explanation,

and hopefully, she’ll give up trying to steal Jeremy once she sees how much better Corinne is than her.”

After thinking it over, Pamela finally nodded. “Very well, then. You can come with us, Sophia.”

Sophia grinned. “Oh, thank you so much, Grandma!”

After she passed the two boxes of pastries to the maid, she took out her car keys and helped Pamela

to the car.

‘Corinne’s back! I can finally see what kind of person she is!’

Meanwhile, back in the restaurant, the waiter placed the last dish they ordered on the table. He did not

remember who ordered what, so the waiter simply placed the dishes on any empty spot.
