With a miserable look on Teresa's face, she struggled quietly, "Mom, I..."
When Grace saw them act like this, she felt a bit sorry for them. She looked as if she wanted to make a decision for Teresa and said, "even if Victor treats you as his sister, there's still affection between you tow. To say the least, even if you don't have feelings for each other, you can be cultivated again. Marriage is not a game. In the end, I believe that Victor will respect my decision and Xiao family's decision! "
When Grace finished speaking, she glanced at Sophia who was sitting opposite her, as if she was saying it to Sophia on purpose.
The content of the conversation, which Sophia hadn't paid much attention to, happened to meet Grace's eyes. She was stunned.
Grace knew that Victor's attention was not on Teresa. Therefore, no matter how hard Teresa tried to approach him, it didn't work at all. But now, with what Grace had said, Sophia felt very complicated!
As the only daughter-in-law in Xiao family, Teresa would definitely marry to Victor...
At the thought of this, Sophia's face turned white.
Victor noticed that Sophia's situation. He wanted to comfort her and make it clear today.
So he opened his mouth calmly, "my career is currently going up, so I'll consider marrying her in a few years. And it's a matter between two people. Don't bother mom and aunt Connie. "
Victor shot Sophia a glance of relief. It seemed that he had a magic power that could ease her mood.
The three women who were talking warmly suddenly stopped.
Enraged by her son's remarks, Grace was unable to keep her glass steady. She kept shaking the wine in her glass.
It looked like a storm was coming.
Paying no attention to the expression on Grace's face, Teresa was about to continue the topic. "It's okay," she said...
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the wink of Connie.
Connie was a clever woman that she knew she couldn't win against Victor, but both she and her daughter had made Grace stand on their side. That was enough for them. She believed that even if Victor was unwilling to let his marriage be controlled, he would finally have to listen to the orders of Grace.
"Oh right, Grace, I saw you wear a handmade Cape last time. Is it tailor-made?"
Connie quickly shifted the topic. She didn't want the people at the dining table to blow up because of Teresa's thing.
Grace nodded her head, she still didn't get over it. She paused for a moment and replied, "we hired an independent designer of northern Europe. It's not for sale. But if you like it, you can take it to you..."
Connie waved her hand at Grace and gave her another compliment.
The dinner was like a Shura field, so many people were thinking about something.
"Grace, I'm sorry to have bothered you so long today. You must be very tired. I'll take Teresa back. Have a good rest too,"
Since there was a bad atmosphere in Xiao mansion, and it was improper to stay here for a long time, Connie wanted to leave with Teresa right away.
Teresa didn't want to leave, but she could do nothing but fo
Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.
Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.
the whole family for the woman beside him. But what Sophia did? He even doubted what he was in her heart!
Victor floored the gas pedal and the car flew out immediately.
Sophia was frightened that she grabbed the seat belt next to her, but she remained silent, biting her lip.
Victor glanced at Sophia and thought, 'what a stubborn woman.'
But since she left Xiao family, she was in a bad mood. Instead, Victor was worried about her.
He stopped what he was doing and was about to explain what happened tonight to this woman.
"My mother asked me to stay here..."
Sophia interrupted him, when Victor opened his mouth. She was afraid that she had heard something improper. She said with a frown, "Mr. Victor, you don't need to explain your private affairs to me one by one."
Sophia's words broke the peace in Victor's heart. He wanted to comfort her, but his explanation had unwittingly become a sting to the other's heart. He said, "my mother likes Teresa very much."
A piece of sadness flashed through Sophia's eyes.
"Yes, I see. You mother praised Miss Teresa at the dinner. Mr. Victor and Miss Teresa look like a good match."
She said expressionlessly, making it sound that her tone did not change as before.
Although Sophia was trying to hide, she felt a faint pain in her body.
Any arrangement for this man and his family would be left to them. Anyway, she did not care about it. Nor did she have the right to care about it.
"Do you really think so?"
Before she could finish her words, Victor interrupted impatiently.
That was not what he wanted to say, nor what he wanted to hear!
"Does it matter what I think? After all, I'm just an outsider." She said honestly. Suddenly she felt a little calm and complaint.
For the whole night, Sophia was all bullied by Xiao family and An family, and their remarks were always directed at her. She really couldn't think of any other reason for her to stay there.
If she hadn't met Greg, perhaps Sophia wouldn't have suffered this...
Victor wanted to retort, but he couldn't say anything.
