Chapter 1364

“Oh? Just what are you going to do exactly?” asked Corinne curiously.

“Why don’t you take a guess?” retorted Sophia provocatively.

Corinne sipped her milk absent-mindedly. “Well, I don’t want to. Just do whatever you want. You don’t

have to call me to tell me.”

Not getting the reaction she wanted from Corinne, Sophia felt like she was punching the air.

“Corinne Carew! Don’t you know my father is the infamous Ad—”

Corinne hung up before Sophia could even finish her sentence.

Sophia’s face darkened when she heard the disconnected dial tone. She then angrily threw her phone

down onto the floor. No one ever treated her so rudely before.

Her attendant picked up her phone, wiped it clean, and passed it back to her.

“Miss Sophia, please don’t get so angry. Your father is going to punish us again for not taking good

care of you when he sees you this unhappy.”

Sophia gritted her teeth and took her phone back. She then tapped into the chat box she shared with

Jeremy to check whether he replied to her. She had sent a long message to Jeremy, professing all of

the feelings she held for him over the years. There was no response at all.

‘That ruthless b*stard! How can he not reply to me after I spill my heart out to him?’ thought Sophia

angrily.

…

An hour later, Sophia arrived back home—Adam Manor.

A middle-aged man was fishing in the pond inside the manor’s compound.

A servant ran up to him and reported, “Mister Adam, Miss Sophia is back!”

Hearing this, Adam quickly handed his fishing rod to his attendant and rushed over to welcome his

daughter back home.

Sophia did not look happy at all. She quickly got out of her car while her attendant chased after her with

her luggage in tow.

Adam frowned with worry when he saw how unhappy Sophia looked. “What’s wrong, sweetheart? Why

do you look so unhappy? Did someone hurt you? Who is it? Tell me, and I’ll teach him a lesson!”

Adam was dressed in casual wear. He was over 50 years old but looked to be 40 only since he made

sure to take care of himself well.

Sophia threw herself into her father’s arms and started crying. “Dad… Jeremy doesn’t want me

anymore! He wants to cut ties with me because of some country bumpkin girl…”

Adam had never seen his daughter cry like this before, so he was understandably sad and angry. “Silly

girl! Didn’t I tell you that you must make the man yours as soon as you like him? If you had done that,

the other girl wouldn’t have a chance to steal him from you!”

He had always known Sophia had a crush on Jeremy. However, he did not agree with her having a

secret crush. Instead, he thought she should have confessed her feelings from the start. After all, the

daughter of Adam wasted no time in getting what she liked.

Sophia looked up at him and whined, “Dad, how can you say that when I’m this sad? Are you just going

to stand by and do nothing while another girl bullies me?”

“Am I not right to lecture you? You’re the daughter of Adam, yet you’re so different from me when it

comes to matters of the heart. Why, when I was young, I wouldn’t waste time in letting my love interests

know my feelings for them,” retorted Adam.

He had the mentality that one should go forth boldly in pursuing one’s love interest while one was still

young. Thus, it was Sophia’s fault for keeping her feelings a secret and holding hope that Jeremy

would eventually fall for her.
