Chapter 101 - Belittled And Humiliated

Not long after she arrived at his destination, just then she was surprised when she saw several neighbors coming in and out of the house.

"Mrs. Flory, what is this?". Sophia asked one of her neighbors.

"Oh, we're here to help with the preparations for the welcome, because soon there will be a two-family gathering to discuss Charlotte's marriage to her future husband". Said Mrs. Flory.

"Charlotte's future husband and future in-laws came to deliver dowries and wedding gifts, she said her husband-to-be was a rich man." Connect the others. 

"You have to be an example of Charlotte! She is beautiful and elegant, that's why she got a rich and handsome man and certainly won't run away on her wedding day". Said Mrs.. Flory smirked at Sophia.

"Where is there a man who wants to glance at Sophia whose appearance is very ordinary".

"Are you Sophia, who is going viral because of the case of grabbing someone's fiancé?". Suddenly, Rya, Charlotte's best friend, appears.

Instantly Sophia looked at Rya whose behavior was very similar to Charlotte.

Everyone was stunned to hear Rya's question.

"So, she is a woman who likes to ruin other people's relationships? She looks like a good girl but her heart turns out to be rotten". said Mrs. Flory while looking disdainfully at Sophia.

Sophia was still calm and didn't care about the ridicule of the people who looked at her with disdain. She ignored her and went straight into the house.

After Sophia entered, several cars stopped in front of her house, and all of her extended family were excited to welcome them.

The neighbors who were still around the house were amazed to see a luxury car entering their complex.

Because the complex is only inhabited by a few rich people including Sophia's stepfather, who leads a small company.

"Wow, that's her future husband Charlotte right?"

"Yes you are right, just look at the car, it is very good, surely the price is also luxurious!".

"Charlotte is lucky to have such a rich man."

The whispers from everyone made Charlotte smile proudly, after that the young man with his parents followed by a driver who brought several gift boxes into the house.

Meanwhile, Sophia rushed to the kitchen to help her mother prepare food and snacks.

To be honest, Sophia felt bad seeing her mother being treated like a maid by her stepfather's extended family, but her mother was patient with it.

Actually, Sophia's stepfather's family still can't accept her mother, because she doesn't come from a rich background, but from a village, and that's why Charlotte's grandmother has always been against her and always looks for ways to expel Sophia and her mother, but always fails.

All the guests sat in the living room as well as Charlotte and the rest of the immediate family. 

"Mr. Hans, we're here to deliver some wedding gifts for Charlotte!" Said Mrs. Claudia kindly.

"The prizes are all luxurious, right?". Asked Charlotte's grandmother, whose character was indeed materialistic.

"Oh sure, I'm a rich person, so it's impossible to buy a cheap gift". Mrs. Claudia haughtily.

Everyone who heard it began to praise Charlotte and her future husband. 

Just then, Sophia came to bring some cups of tea, but Charlotte deliberately tripped Sophia so that the tea spilled on Mrs. Claudia.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to," Sophia said frantically.

"Aaah, you..." Cried Mrs. Claudia with a dark expression as she stood up then slapped Sophia hard.

"Ah...". Sophia groaned while holding her cheek. Sophia was in a lot of pain from the slap so hard.

Seeing Sophia being slapped, Mrs. Lawrence immediately reacted.

"Shopia.. You...". Haven't had time to say anything yet, Mrs. Lawrence was stopped by her husband from interfering, although her heart ached to see her child being slapped she could not fight her husband.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was satisfied, she took the opportunity to gain sympathy from her future mother-in-law.

"Shopia, why are you so careless? He's our family's honored guest". Charlotte said in a made-up voice. 

Sophia turned to Charlotte sharply, she knew that Charlotte was the one who deliberately made her fall but she chose to remain silent because it was useless to talk if no one would ever trust her. 

"You damn maid, did you purposely soil my limited edition luxury bag?". Snapped Mrs. Claudia rudely.

"I'm sorry! Really I didn't mean to, but I will replace your dirty bag with a new one!". Sophia said with a guilty expression.

Mrs. Claudia smirked arrogantly at Sophia.

"Replacing it? Hahahaha, just so you know, my bag is a luxury item, you can't afford it even if you save for a lifetime you won't be able to buy it!". Cried, Mrs. Claudia.

Everyone smirked and mocked Sophia.

Meanwhile, Sophia stared intently at Mrs. Claudia.

After that, she took the bag and looked at it.

"This is just an ordinary bag that can be found in any mall, not a limited edition luxury bag". Sophia said after observing the bag.

Expression Mrs. Claudia's expression went dark.

"What do you know about luxury bags?". Asked Mrs. Claudia nervously.

"My friend taught me to recognize luxury items so that I could easily identify what was real and what was fake". Replied Sophia with confidence.

Sophia was grateful that Jennifer, who was crazy about luxury goods, had taught her about the types of luxury goods, so naturally, she knew.

"You..". Mrs. Claudia glared at Sophia, then she looked at Charlotte in annoyance as she said, "Charlotte, please get rid of this maid, otherwise your marriage will be annulled!".

Hearing the threat of Mrs. Cludia, Charlotte and her grandmother panicked as well as Charlotte's future husband.

"Charlotte, I don't want our marriage to be annulled! So please follow my mother's word! Besides, it's not that hard to get rid of a maid?". Her future husband said pleadingly.

"Mrs. Claudia, please forgive her! And let's sit down again to talk about Charlotte's marriage to your child!". Said Mrs. Lawrence who tried to calm the atmosphere.

"I'll only sit down if he gets kicked out of here!". Said Mrs. Claudia again while pointing at Sophia.

"Dad, please kick Sophia...! She just wants to thwart my marriage!". Charlotte sulks at her father sadly.

Mr. Hans started to get intrigued because he didn't want to lose his work partner at the same time being with a rich family, he looked at Sophia cynically.

"Shopia... Please get out of here before I drag you down!". Said Mr. Hans firmly.

Everyone justifies his actions.

Sophia was just silent while looking at her mother, she didn't expect that her stepfather would be rude to her.

Not long after, Charlotte's grandmother lost patience seeing Sophia who didn't go away, she quickly walked towards Sophia and dragged her out.

"Grandma, please don't treat Sophia like that". Said Mrs. Laurence.

I can go alone..". Sophia said as she tried to free herself from Charlotte's grandmother's grip.

"You can't be trusted, now you're out!". Charlotte's grandmother snapped as she pushed Sophia from the door.

"Ahhh..". Sophia groaned.

Just then Michael arrived and immediately caught Sophia's body which was almost touching the ground.

"Michael...?" 

"Are you okay, honey?". Michael asked with a worried expression. 

Sophia immediately shook her head, after that she stood straight next to Michael.

Seeing Sophia being mistreated, Michael's expression darkened.

Charlotte's grandmother was surprised to see Michael who came with his parents. 

Charlotte's grandmother didn't know Michael but she knew who Mr. Walton was, famous for owning the number one business in-country F.

"Aren't you Mr. Walton?". Asked Charlotte's grandmother with a surprised expression.

Mr. Walton immediately nodded expressionlessly.

"Ohh... What the hell is this, why do I suddenly have the richest person in this country, please come in!". Charlotte's Grandmother said as she ushered them in.

Michael also brought Sophie in holding her hand and was followed by her parents, instantly all eyes were stunned to see their arrival, including Mrs. Claudia, who knew quite a bit about Mrs. Anggi, even though she idolizes Mrs. Anggi is beautiful and elegant.

Charlotte, who knew about Michael and Clara, started to feel annoyed when she saw Michael holding Sophia's hand.

Some of the Hans also knew the Waltons so they started whispering.

"Did I not see wrong? Isn't he young Mr. Michael Walton? CEO of W Group with his family?".

"Wow.. It turns out he is more handsome, not only handsome but very stunning". 

"This house is blessed because of the arrival of rich people, especially now the richest people". 

"Wait! Why is Young Master Michael holding Sophia's hand?".
