Chapter 127
Matilda was surprised, for she knew whose side John was on right there and then. Thus, she pursed
her lips and thought there was no need to talk about what she wanted to.
Sophia didn’t care about what the Constances were doing, so she went to the dessert shop that
afternoon and chatted with thedy. After a while, Sophia told her she wanted to buy the shop, but she
wanted thedy to keep on working there too.
Thedy noticed her fervor, so she agreed to it. She hadn’t settled down on a job after closing the
shop, and honestly, she liked it here, aside from the fact it didn’t make any profit. So, she kindly
reminded Sophia, “But this ce doesn’t turn a profit, you know.”
Sophia smiled. “We’ll see. I can go for something else if there’s no profit.”
“The contract will be up this month, so I’ll ask thendlord to contact you.”
Sophia nodded. “Thank you then.” She then strolled around before going home. Her body still wasn’t

feeling fine, so she moved about in the living room. When she was about to rest, Matilda came.
Sophia was standing before the staircase, and when she looked back, she saw Matildaing with her
servant, bringing along many gifts. The servant was the one she kicked earlier. Oh, they came together,
huh? Those poor, poordies. She looked at them while Matilda rang the doorbell. A momentter, she
opened the door for them.
Matilda stiffened up when she saw Sophia, but she still forced a smile. “You’re home, Sophia.”
Sophia loved to argue, especially against her enemies. “No, I’m not. This is an AI controlled robot.” She
sneered.
Matilda looked awkward, so she quickly asked the servant to bring those gifts inside. Sophia didn’t stop
them, then when they were done, Matilda rubbed her hands. “I know what I said was wrong, Sophia.
Please let it slide this time. You know how I am. I’m stupid and rash.”
Sophia was surprised she would say that, and she wondered where Matilda learned it from. Since
Matilda didn’t even stutter, Sophia thought she must have practiced on the way here. Instead of saying
anything, Sophia nced at her coldly.
Matilda felt awkward, for Sophia didn’t say anything even after that. This was different from what she
had in mind, so she continued, “John’s grandmother and father scolded me after knowing what I did.
They said I shouldn’t have said that.
I know what I said was wrong, so I’m here to ask for your forgiveness. We used to be family. I know we
aren’t now, but just for old times’ sake, can you let this slide? I know you’re a good kid, so please
forgive me this once, hmm?”
Old times’ sake? Sophia almostughed. Yeah right! We have nothing but bad blood! You abused me!
Sophia remained silent.
The servant was awkward too, and Matilda licked her lips, for she was out of things to say.
Sophia waited for a moment more and snorted. “Done?”
Matilda was stumped. “Um, yes.”
Sophia nodded and opened the door. “Then leave.”
Matilda and her servant were stunned. I-Is she chasing us away? Rude! Matilda’s face was red with
anger, but she had to hold it down, for she was here to apologize, so she took a deep breath to calm
her anger. “You need to rest, yes? I’ll be leaving now then. Thank you.” She then left quickly with her
servant.
Before they could go far, Sophia mmed the door heavily, shocking Matilda with the loud sound.
Then, she went upstairs without a care in the world. Matilda stood before the door and panted, then
she turned around stiffly and left the yard.
Her car was right outside the door. “Leaving so soon, Madam?” the driver asked, but Matilda didn’t
answer. She went into the backseat and looked outside as the driver drove away.
A long whileter, she covered her face and bawled earnestly. She had never been humiliated this way.
Even after an attempt to please Sophia, still she humiliated Matilda this way. Matilda felt insulted, and
this was the first time she felt this way.
