Chapter 49 Encounter With An Enemy
The next day, people were fully dressed in fine clothes in the chamber of commerce.
The banquet was aimed at a small enterprise in Q City which wanted to attract people's attention. They tried their best to dress up and they hoped to win the chance to enter the chamber of commerce.
With a luxurious midnight blue evening dress, Lucas, the chamber of commerce, perfectly concealed his arrogance and unruly. He looked modest, noble and elegant.
The smile he wore covered all his emotions. Only his deep eyes were unfathomable.
And Sophia was wearing a beautiful and complicated dress. The elegant dress was light like running water, wrapping her slender and beautiful body. She looked like the young girl lying on the ground, not only charming, but also enchanting. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
The girls attending the event were all dressed up. They dressed themselves up with the most eye- catching makeup.
With the makeup, she looked like a fresh night breeze.
She didn't know what kind of attitude Jacob held towards her. When he saw the diamond ring in the middle finger of her, he looked at her up and down lightly. He also wore the usual gentle smile, which made others difficult to find out his true emotions. She didn't know that after the incident with Jenny, Jacob had sent someone to investigate her background. He had all judgments. According to his standard, obviously, she was not that important to him.
"Daddy, I'll take Sophia to greet someone else." Lucas held her hand.
When they were about to leave, a laughter came from behind. "Mr. Jacob and Mr. Lucas, it's my pleasure to meet you!"
As soon as she turned her head back, the first person she saw was Maggie and Sandra. She frowned and thought to herself, 'well, their enemies are bound to meet in such a small world. It's hard to avoid them.'
Beside them stood a tall, middle-aged man, radiant with youth, with a flattering smile on his face. She could almost guess his identity, and her heart was like the tsunami.
She had never seen this man, even if it was a photo, she never thought that one day he would stand in front of her alive.
Maggie looked at her, and felt jealous in her heart. As soon as she saw the diamond ring on her finger, she could not help feeling resentful. Now that Jenny had known the relationship between Sophia and her, she hated her more.
Of course, Sandra did not forget to cotton up with Lucas. She quickly pulled her daughter in front of Lucas. "Mr. Lucas, thank you for taking care of my daughter in ZW Group."
"I treat employees equally." Then Lucas went away with Sophia.
Seeing Sandra like this, Sophia laughed in her mind. She could imagine how embarrassed Sandra and daughter were at the moment without even taking a look at them.
In the middle of the party, she went to the dressing room. After coming out, she did not go back to Lucas immediately. Instead, she went straight to Sandra and the man beside her.
"Are you Mr. Sam?" She smiled.
When Sam found out that she was the woman who stood beside Lucas, he immediately put on a flattering look and asked, "are you Mr. Lucas' wife?"
"She's daydreaming." Hearing that, Sandra could not help but roll her eyes. But before Sophia could reply, Sandra interrupted. My daughter is the future Mr. Lucas' wife!
"My surname is ye, and you can call me Sophia." With a calm smile, she raised her hand to tidy up the short hair near her ear. The huge pigeon egg on her finger was shining under the incandescent light, and Sandra's eyes were dazzled. Then she turned her eyes to Sandra and said, "Sandra, I don't seem to know you. Is it inappropriate for you to say that in such an occasion?"
Sam felt ashamed to hear that, but he quickly withdrew his gaze from her. He apologized to her, "I'll take her to apologize for her rudeness. And I hope you can give me one more chance."
"Never mind. Mr. Lin, you should take Mrs. Lin out more often to see the world." Sophia smiled.
Hearing that she was mocking her. Sandra's face turned red with anger. "Sophia, do you think you can fly into the sky and become a phoenix just by a few feathers? You are just a humble sparrow, always a poor sparrow!"
"How can you talk to Miss. Sophia like this?" Sam scolded in a low voice.
"Mr. Sam, I guess you don't know that I once met your wife." With a polite and graceful smile on her face, she looked in a sharp contrast with the arrogant and domineering. She continued, "last weekend, my mother and I picked a bracelet at Golden Ring. When we were about to pay for it, your wife wanted it too. She insisted on taking it from us. The shop manager said we are first come, so she gave us a privilege. I think Mrs. Lin still cares this? " She paused for a while and added in a more serious tone, "everyone has his or her own identity. There's nothing better than that. You'd better keep a low profile. Don't be too aggressive. Mr. Sam, do you agree with me?"
"Yes, yes, you're right." Sam nodded his head quickly and said, "Miss. Sophia, you are a sensible person. My wife rarely go out. Don't be unreasonable. Excuse me, please."
"Don't speak highly of her. I know her better than anyone else what kind of person she is!" Hearing that, Sandra could not help but snort.
"Can you just shut up?" Feeling that he had been humiliated by her, he hardy said, "go to see Maggie. She just want to make-up. Why does it take so long?" He had decided to send away Sandra. He knew that even the smallest grievance was bound to bring back, but what he didn't know was that Sandra held a grudge against Sophia, who was not only Mandy's daughter, but also Sophia beat her daughter. Mandy failed, so Sandra wouldn't allow her daughter to turn the tables.
Sophia didn't want to leave at all. She was afraid that Sam would know who Sophia was, but when she saw the look on his face, she didn't dare to stay. Sam was not the poor boy who used to leech on to her mother's family. Since he became the general manager of P Real Estate Company, he gradually took control of his power step by step. The entire P Group was only in the hope of changing its name.
After Sandra left, Sophia handed a glass of champagne and said, "Mr. Sam, to be honest, you look like my father. When I see you, I think of my father."
"What does your father do?" He took a sip of champagne.
"He's dead." As if she was talking about the drizzle last night.
"I'm sorry, Miss Sophia." He shrugged his shoulders.
"It doesn't matter. He deserved it." Suddenly, she looked at him coldly, which frightened him. He didn't know what to say. She walked to the sofa and sat down. She gestured for him to sit down too, and he sat down beside her. She took a sip of champagne and said slowly, "when my parents were seeing each other, my father had nothing. My mother didn't detest him and married him regardless of the opposition of her family. It was not long after we got married and my mother was pregnant. But this man was hooking up with a woman who was rich and self righteous. "
