“Oh, don’t call me an outsider just yet. Someday, | might be your aunt,” Sophie said confidently. “The chances of that are slim.”


    Ang left.


    Sophie’s chest was heaving in anger. Another servant then came for her. “Miss Liamson, Madam Charlotte is in the tea room.


    She wants to see you.”


    Sophie quickly turned around. Trying to befriend anyone in this household was a waste of time. She would rather make Charlotte


    happy, since she was the one calling all the shots here.


    Charlotte was having tea in the tea room. She was looking really delighted. What Ren told her made her feel great relief, though


    she was a little unhappy that Ren didn’t tell her soon. | wouldn’t have asked Sophie over otherwise.


    Sophie came into the room and happily took the seat beside Charlotte. “Hi, Charlotte. The servant said you wanted to see me.”


    “Ah, Sophie. There you are. Here’s a gift for you. It’s been great talking to you. Do visit me often, alright?” Charlotte gave her a


    gift while looking at Sophie affectionately.


    Sophie was a smart woman. The gift and what Charlotte said were bad signs. Her heart sank. So the blind date’s over?She’s


    giving me up? Why? Did Ang do something again?


    “| can’t take this, Charlotte. It’s great enough that | get to talk to you.” She pushed the gift back into Charlotte’s hand while


    smiling.


    “You''re a nice girl, Sophie. | like you very much, but Ren told me that he has someone he likes now. | don’t want you to waste


    your time on him anymore. You''re a brilliant girl. You''ll find a nice guy to marry. Sorry for taking up your time.” Charlotte sounded


    apologetic.


    Sophie looked down. She was smiling, but her eyes were filled with disappointment. | see. So | didn’t make the cut. Is this the


    end?


    All of a sudden, she realized something. She sneered quietly, He has someone he likes?


    She looked at Charlotte. “Charlotte, may | know who’s thedy he likes? Maybe | know her.”


    Charlotte smiled at her, and she sighed. “He’s keeping her under wraps. Wonder what''s the mystery.”


    Ahint of evil glinted in Sophie’s eyes. He’s not being mysterious. He’s just too scared to tell you guys who he likes. Oh, so he’s


    going to toss his future away and reveal his sordid rtionship with Ruka, huh?He’d probably reveal it if he wasn’t the vice


    president, but since he’s still the VP, he needs to keep his image intact.


    “There’s something | really want to tell you, but it might upset you, Charlotte.” Sophie bit her lip and acted like she was ina


    dilemma. “What is it? Tell me,” Charlotte asked curiously. She was in a good mood today.


    “So | was looking for Ren before lunch.” She blinked innocently. Thedy was still keeping up the act. “I did find him, but... but |


    saw...


    “What did you see?” Charlotte’s interest was piqued.


    “| saw Ruka and Ren together in the study. | didn’t see what they were doing inside, but they came out holding hands. Ruka was


    the one who held Ren’s hand first, but that can’t be real. | must have been seeing things. She can’t be dating Ren. Scarlet’s her


    godmother.”


    Charlotte’s cup fell and shattered into pieces. The olddy looked furious. She asked with a trembling voice, “What did you say?


    Are they dating?”
