Chapter 681


    Chapter 681 The Enemy of My Enemy


    “Ha!” Elise burst outughing from anger. “So, you do have a strong moralpass. But then, what are


    you doing now? Do you think it’s okay for you to barge into the home of a pair of newlyweds?”


    “I…”


    “Enough already,” Alexander interrupted, not giving Sofia a chance to speak. He then continued with a


    nk face, “You can go now.”


    “Go? Go where?” Sofia asked, confused.


    “Wherever you want as long as you’re out of my home,” he calmly replied.


    “You’re kicking me out?” Her eyes widened with disbelief. “Alexander, can’t you see that I’m doing this for


    your sake? Anyway, your mom hired me. How can you speak to me in that manner?”


    “How should I be speaking to you then?” His eyes went cial. “Should I put up a shrine and worship


    you? This is my house and my wife’s home. Neither you nor my mother has any power here. I will not


    tolerate anyone who would insult my wife. When I wake up tomorrow morning, I don’t want to see your


    face here ever again.”


    After he said that, he wrapped an arm around Elise and went upstairs with her, leaving Sofia alone and


    staring at the backs of a loving couple.


    Pride was carved deep into the bones of Sofia, so there was no way she’d ept being ignored like that.


    After stomping her foot hard, she marched out the door.


    Just who did that man think he was? She only ever acted subservient to him because she thought highly


    of him, but how dare he look down on her!


    Well, she wouldn’t be serving them anymore. They would regret this!


    As she walked out of the area to the streets, she cursed and shouted at the couple. Then, she took a taxi


    and spent the night at the bars.


    When she woke up the next morning, her vision spun so hard that she had to support her head with her


    hands. She couldn’t help but feel angry with herself as she should not have acted so impulsively.


    First, she went home, cleaned up, and changed her clothes. Then, thinking that there wouldn’t be


    anyone home at this time, she took a taxi back to Alexander and Sofia’s new residence.


    However, as the taxi drew closer to the residence, she saw a young woman standing at the residence


    gates and looking around.


    The taxi soon pulled to a stop, and Sofia exited the vehicle. She strode over to the other woman and


    loftily asked in a manner more befitting to the residence owner, “Who are you looking for?”


    “Who are you?” the other woman rudely shot back.


    “I am the housekeeper here,” Sofia proudly stated.


    “I see.” The other woman’s gaze scanned Sofia from head to toe with eyes filled with scrutiny.


    Weirded out by how she was being studied, Sofia barked in a firmer tone, “If you don’t tell me who you


    are, I’m going to get the guards to escort you away.”


    It was only then that the woman haughtily said, “My name is Maya Dahlen, Alexander’s god-sister.”


    God-sister?


    Sofia studied Maya closely as she silently pondered on how much faith she should give that statement.


    For one, Maya didn’t dress like someone from a middle-ss family.


    As for her im of being Alexander’s god-sister, both women knew precisely what Maya meant by that.


    It was just a im used to get Maya closer to Alexander.


    Logically speaking, Maya was Sofia’s rival.


    However, Elise was Sofia’s greatest enemy for now, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend.


    If she used Maya to destroy Alexander’s rtionship with Elise, she would be saving herself a lot of


    work.


    A cunning gleam passed through Sofia’s bright eyes. Then, she smiled and made a weing gesture


    to Maya, “This way, please, Miss Dahlen.”


    Then, with scheme-filled minds, the two women entered the vi.


    Meanwhile, Elise was taking a nap upstairs, ignorant of the presence of two pests in her home.


    Sofia politely made some hot tea for Maya in the living room before sitting beside her.


    “Surely you must be close to Mr. Griffith, Miss Dahlen?” Sofia tentatively asked.


    “Are Alexander and Elise not home?” Maya replied without answering the question.


    “Yes. Miss Sinir should be in university right now, and Mr. Griffith at work. They’re both busy people,”


    Sofia immediately replied. Since she was new, she could only lie ording to what she had witnessed


    over the past two days.


    When Maya heard that, she instantly let out a sigh of relief. She rxed so much that she even began


    shaking her leg as she nonchntly said, “Of course, I’m close to him. I am his mother’s only


    goddaughter while he’s her only son. Why wouldn’t we be close? I would be Mrs. Griffith by now if Elise


    hadn’t interfered.”


    There was a mocking nt to Sofia’s smile when she heard that.


    As if. This girl has quite the self-confidence. I’ll give her that.


    However, to amplify the animosity between Maya and Elise, Sofia went along with what was said despite


    her own wishes. “No wonder. I thought that you and Mr. Griffith would’ve been a perfect couple. I see.


    So, that’s what happened. What a pity. You two would’ve been great together.”


    It was clear that statement had reminded Maya of something that upset her. Her eyes went dull as she


    let out a long, disappointed sigh.


    In Maya’s eyes, her union with Alexander would’ve truthfully been the perfect match. After all, both of


    their parents were happy for them. But then came Elise out of nowhere, destroying her happy future!


    “Forget it.” Worried that she might say the wrong thing, Maya waved her hand and changed the topic.


    “It’s in the past. Elise is now my sister-inw. I should be taking care of her as her junior. Go get a room


    ready for me. I’ll be staying here from now on.”


    “Of course, no problem,” was the swift answer. Even so, Sofia didn’t move and continued speaking, “But


    there’s something I’m not sure if I should speak to you about…”


    “Tell me,” replied Maya.


    “Did you read the entertainment news section yesterday, Miss Dahlen? Particrly, in the article


    regarding Miss Sinir and Garreth Dowrick,” Sofia asked in a secretive manner.


    “I did. Are you trying to remind me just how popr Elise is right now?” Maya huffed rudely as her face


    clouded over.


    “Of course not.” Sofia shifted to sit closer to Maya and whispered into her ear, “I was home the entire


    timest night, and I saw Miss Sinir bringing Garreth home. The two of them stayed in her room for


    over an hour, and no one was allowed to disturb them. Then, once in a while, I heard some strange


    noisesing from the room. I don’t know what they were doing, but…”


    Maya’s eyes widened. “Are you trying to say Elise is in that kind of rtionship with Garreth?”


    “I’m not too sure.” Sofia immediately tried to pull herself out of the fray. “But then again, that man—Mr.


    Howard or something like that—did sneak in through the back after the journalists were here.”


    “They must be doing it then!” Maya confidently stated. She grabbed Sofia and excitedly asked, “Have


    you told Alexander about this yet?”


    “I did,” Sofia said with a sigh. “But Mr. Griffith wouldn’t hear of it. He even used me of nder and


    was going to throw me out.”


    Maya let go of Sofia’s arm as her eyes warily scanned the woman sitting next to her when she heard


    that.


    Suddenly, she realized that Sofia had been trying to fan the mes the entire time.

    “You like Alexander,” she dered before letting out a cold huff full of contempt. “You? You think you


    deserve him?”
