Chapter 199 Fifth Wheel

However, as soon as Teresa finished, Connie gave her a blaming look. Teresa was too angry that she also forgot there was an unwritten rule at Xiao family's private party, which was that no one was allowed to talk about anything related to the company during family parties. It was too late for Teresa to realize this problem by the time she came to realize it.

"Teresa is still young. So she spoke like that. Please forgive her..." said Connie to mediate the dispute.

Grace knew that Teresa had been aggrieved in her heart so that she said that. She felt sorry for Teresa, so she helped Teresa out and said, "Teresa, you're too simple. It's understandable that you're not familiar with the social life. It would be really strange if you could be so sophisticated at such a young age."

Grace was so angry that she couldn't help but give him a hard time. As soon as she finished speaking, a dead silence befell the dining table.

With a livid face, Karl cast a stern glance at Grace, hinting her to stop talking nonsense. In fact, Terence had already taken advantage of Grace and others' mindset to stir up trouble on the dining table. His petty plan couldn't escape from Karl's notice. But then again, it was true that Victor didn't inform anyone that he would bring Sophia to this birthday party before, which was publicly against Karl's decision. Victor not only didn't take Xiao family seriously, but also made An family fall into an embarrassing situation. Karl didn't expect that his smart son would be defeated because of a woman at this critical moment.

"Terence, don't make fun of Victor. Zed is old enough to consider a marriage? I think the daughter of Wang family is a good girl! "

Of course, Karl had already known that Terence was keeping an eye on An family. Terence would want Victor to marry Sophia today so that he could draw the whole An family's support to Zed tomorrow and kick Karl's family out of the YS Group. No one knew his little brother better than Karl. Terence appeared to be a considerate boy. He even went abroad to avoid others' suspicion, but he never gave up. Because of this, Karl wouldn't let Terence have his way.

"Hehe, you are joking, Karl. Let the kids decide their own business. We won't interfere in Zed's inner thoughts. He can marry whoever he likes! "

Said Terence. He said these words to Zed, because he remembered his agreement with Zed. And he also knew that Zed had always been satisfied with Teresa. An family was powerful. If they cooperated with each other, the YS Group would surely belong to them.

Zed was overjoyed to hear his father's words. Zed sneaked a glance at Teresa, turned the plate to her and said gently, "Teresa, eat it. I remember you like eating short ribs. They will taste bad when they are cold."

Teresa raised her head and found that everyone was looking at her. So she had to smile at Zed, picked up her chopsticks, picked up a little dish and put it into her bowl.

Noti

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.

r Sophia, but they seemed to care about Christopher, so the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

"Grandpa, I know a little about the tea ceremony. If you are interested in it, I can show it to you next time." Sophia said with a smile. Her nervous as soon as she came to the dining hall vanished.

Christopher agreed without hesitation.

On the way, Sophia walked out of the banquet hall and got ready to go to the bathroom. On the way, she happened to see Zed and Teresa talking about something on the sofa of the side hall, but it seemed that they were arguing. Sophia didn't care too much about it. While the two men were not looking at her, she turned around and walked to another direction of the bathroom.

Sophia was boring, she looked at herself in the mirror and didn't want to go back so early. When she went back to the dining room, she would pass through the side hall. She'd rather go out later so that she didn't have to see Teresa and Zed. The two people in the side hall were always eye-catching to her.

Somehow, she felt that Teresa and Zed had a special relationship. Although at the dinner table, Teresa showed her love for Victor and she was determined to get him.

But Zed's family also ingratiated themselves with Teresa. Zed had been put the rib in front of Teresa. Sophia had knew that Zed had a crush on Teresa. After all, one's eyes could hid anything. Zed's eyes were full of affection for Teresa.

However, Sophia had saw that Teresa picked up a piece of sparerib with a smile. Although Teresa smiled politely, there was endless disgust deep in her eyes. Plus what Sophia had just seen in the side hall, Teresa just looked at Zed with disgust and directly ignored his flattery. But for some reason, even Teresa disliked Zed very much, Teresa didn't dare to refuse him directly.

Sophia was confused about their relationship. Thinking of this, Sophia could not help but smile when she unconscious saw a woman frowning in the mirror.
