Chapter 583


    Isabelle went over and scanned the QR code to make payment. Then, she looked at Sophia again.


    Matilda, on the other hand, had already walked over to the door. It was only when she called out to her


    did Isabelle reluctantly leave.


    At the door, Matilda walked further away upon seeing that Isabelle was making her way over. When


    Isabelle had caught up to her, she asked in slight puzzlement, “What was your intention ining


    here? To say all those things to make Sophia miserable?”


    In reality, Isabelle herself didn’t quite understand what she was trying to do. While she indeed wanted


    to make Sophia miserable, she wasn’t certain how she wanted to aplish that.


    That was why she used the news on the Inte back then as a starting point. Because of the news,


    she’d previously experienced great agony, feeling as though someone had stabbed her in the heart.


    Convinced that Sophia had certainly been tormented by it to the point of losing sleep, she brought it up


    before her. However, when she did so, she herself was assailed by a wave of distress, so she bluffed


    and imed that John had exined things to her.


    Staring at her, Matilda shook her head. “It’s no use showing off with words, Belle. Even if you’d said


    that you were the person John left the bar with, there wouldn’t have been any reaction on Sophia’s


    part. She has always been calm and unruffled. This time, you really lost to her.”


    Isabelle pursed her lips, likewise finding herself inexplicably on the losing end in this battle today.


    Moving over to her, Matilda patted her on the shoulder. “Never mind, don’t think about it now. Let’s go


    for dinner first.” Isabelle said nothing further and left with her.


    Meanwhile, Sophia stood at the counter. She ced her cell phone down, her face a mask of wintry


    coldness. Young Lady Isabelle Bailey seems unable to read the situation now. Hah, I wonder what she


    intended bying in and showing off. She went over and put away everything on their table. Then,


    she flipped the closed sign over.


    After that, all that was left was to clean up the ce. She took out the mop, but just when she was


    about to start mopping, her cell phone rang. She sauntered over and picked it up for a quick nce. It’s


    an unknown number, and from another city to boot.


    It’s generally a scammer or telemarketer. She’d answered several such calls in the past, so she


    declined the call and went back to mopping the floor.


    When she was done with the cleaning, a call came in again from the same number. Frowning, she


    nced at it. This time, she picked up the call. “Hello.”


    At first, no sound came from the other end of the phone. Sophia then repeated the greeting, upon


    which the other person stammered, “Is this Sophia Gwendolyn?” It was a woman’s voice, the voice


    tinged with uncertainty and wariness.

    Sophia didn’t answer right away. Instead, she countered, “Who are you?”


    After a few seconds, the person on the other end suddenly started sobbing, her voice soft and timid.


    “It’s me, Soph.”


    Sophia’s brows knitted together. I don’t recognize this person’s voice, and no one calls me Soph. She


    pursed her lips, growing a smidge impatient as her conviction grew that it was a scammer. “Who are


    you? Stop crying and answer me first.”


    Sniffling sounded from the other end. “I’m your mother, Soph.”


    Sophia froze, very much taken aback. “Who are you again? Repeat that, please.” Her tone was neither


    anxious nor exuberant. Instead, it was filled with contempt. Immediately after, she growled, “I’d advise


    you to think carefully before you answer me.


    Are scammers not doing their homework before scamming people nowadays? There’s an obvious


    problem with your information. Let me tell you, my mother is dead. She’s been dead for many years


    now. You want to scam me? Dream on!” After saying that, she hung up right away.


    However, she was shaking all over, shivering uncontrobly. Whirling around, she poured herself a


    ss of water and guzzled it down in a single go. My mother?


    What nonsense! That woman has probably reincarnated into a young and beautifuldy now. She


    inhaled deeply, repeating the motion a few times. Then, she promptly packed and locked up before


    hailing a taxi home.
