Victoria decided to take a tough approach.
My face turned ugly. “Are you threatening me?”
Victoria spoke in a cold tone, “It depends on how you interpret it.”
After thinking about the tampered design and Victoria’s insistence on her returning home for dinner, I fell silent for a moment and said coldly, “Fine, I’ll come back.”
After hanging up the phone, I packed my things with a stern expression and left the Hill Crest One Residence.
Having learned from the previous incident at the Lopez Family’s villa, I had already contacted Geoff Turner in advance.
Confirming that Geoff was indeed going to the Lopez Family’s villa, I felt relieved.
When I arrived, Geoff was already there, sitting on the sofa talking to Lopez.
To be honest, if it
Weren’t for my father, Connor, passing, and Victoria taking away my
uncle’s shares, c. wouldn’t have such an easy grip on my uncle.
Even if my mother pursued her own interests, she wouldn’t easily let my uncle’s company go bankrupt.
However, she desired to alter the management of my uncle’s company, come together with other shareholders, and distribute what his uncle had worked hard for throughout his life, seemingly without much difficulty.
Seeing me enter, Victoria immediately stood up with a smile. “Sophia is back.”
I nodded with a cold face.
Geoff was in the middle of discussing the incident where Bella plagiarized my design with Victoria. He explained that it was a misunderstanding and that I had already forgiven Bella.
But seeing his niece’s current expression, it was clear that what Victoria said, and the actual

Seeing my expression, Geoff immediately understood
His gaze darkened. “You silly girl, why didn’t you call me? I just came back from overseas, and I only found out about this incident today. Were you planning oft never telling me?”
I felt somewhat helpless. “Uncle, it’s not that I didn’t want to tell you. At that time, we had already found a solution, and I didn’t want to trouble you with it
Geoff’s expression didn’t look good. “What do you mean by trouble me? Your father isn’t here anymore. Aside from me, who else is there to protect you? How could you treat me as an outsider?”
I was afraid of making Geoff angry and quickly said, “Uncle, I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through properly. From now on, if anything happens, I’ll tell you right away.”
Geoff treated me well, but he had a large family to take care of. I knew that Geoff genuinely cared about me, but I didn’t want to become a burden to him.
At this moment, Victoria called out to me from the staircase. “Sophia, come upstairs. There’s something I want to discuss with you.”
My eyes flickered slightly. Her main agenda had finally shown. I knew that Victoria calling
me back home wasn’t as simple as it seemed.
I gave Geoff a reassuring look and then went upstairs directly to Victoria’s study.
Victoria looked at me and said, “Bella is getting married. Did you know?”

My expression remained indifferent. “I didn’t know.”
Victoria frowned. “What’s with your attitude? Marriage is a significant event in one’s life After all, Bella is your sister. I called you back today because I wanted our family to forget what happened in the past. Can’t you see that?”
A hint of sarcasm flashed in my eyes. “I can’t see it.”
Victoria’s brows furrowed with anger, and she glared at me without speaking,
My eyes flashed again. “Normally, marriage is indeed a significant event, but Bella is getting married twice this year. It’s no longer a big deal, is it?”
Victoria’s face instantly revealed a sense of embarrassment. “This time is different she’s
going to have an official wedding.”
Bella had a tumultuous relationship with Hugo Roberts, and she originally thought that in would be difficult for her daughter to find a good family. However, she didn’t expect that Bella would manage to make a second young master of the Hughes family promise to marry her.
Although she wanted me to marry Gerald Hughes, it didn’t succeed.
I maintained a calm expression. “Is that all you wanted to tell me? I understand. If there’s
nothing else, I’ll leave.”
After I finished speaking, I turned around to leave.
Victoria quickly stood up from her chair. “Stop right there.”
I turned around, my expression cold. “Is there something else?”
Victoria stared at my intensely. From her expression, it was evident that she was suppressing her anger. After all, I had never dared to treat her with such an attitude before.
She believed that I was acting this way because I had the support of Lukas Strakovski.

She had no idea that I used to be respectful and reverent towards her, but now I was
thoroughly disappointed and had nothing to worry about.

Seeing her remain silent, I spoke directly. “If you want to tell Uncle about my marriage to Lukas, you can do it now. Even if he finds out, at most, he’ll feel guilty. It won’t be a threat
to me.”
Upon hearing this, Victoria suddenly realized that there were very few things she could use
to control me now.
The anger on her face eased a bit. “I didn’t mean to threaten you. It’s just that Bella lost the Jawsuit against you, and now there’s no company that would want her. After all, she’s your real sister. Do you have any way to help her get a job at Strakovski Jewelry?”
I frowned fiercely. “I can’t.”
I really didn’t know what Victoria was thinking. How could someone like Bella, in terms of her character, be allowed to work at Strakovski Jewelry by Lukas?
Victoria didn’t expect me to reject it so decisively.
His face turned extremely unsightly. “Aren’t you married to Lukas? Isn’t arranging for Alexa to work at Strakovski Jewelry as simple as a word from him?”
