Chapter 184
However, she could not show her anger because she needed to pretend that she was an understanding
wife, who understood therger scheme of things so that Richard would not find her annoying. I have to
find a way to push Sophia away from Richard. However, at the current moment, she has made such a
huge contribution to the Harper Family. Therefore, I can’t be obvious with my motives.
“Richard, this is Audistin, which means that Joel’s acquaintances or subordinates might be here. If you
casually approach Sophia, what will happen if he finds out?”
Richard stopped dead in his tracks. Upon recalling the fact that his woman slept with another man for his
sake, he couldn’t help but me himself while being riddled with guilt.
However, whenever he reminded himself that she did this for their future, it instantly eased up his guilt.
X was extremely resentful when she noticed how eager he was to chat with Sophia. Nevertheless,
she pretended to be understanding and gracious. “Richard, why don’t I help to look out for the two of
you?”
His eyes sparkled when he heard that and shot her a grateful look. “X, you are the best!”
They both casually walked toward Sophia.
As Sophia was just done with her footbath and back massage with essential oil, she was about to take
Nathan to meet Michael. They should be done with their game of mahjong, I hope.
However, she had barely taken a few steps when she suddenly heard a voice from behind her. “Sophia!”
She frowned deeply. What is wrong with Richard? Why is he throwing himself at me? Why is he doing
that while iming that I’m the one trying to get closer to the Harper Family?
In order to avoid any unnecessary misunderstanding, she feigned that she did not hear him and never
bothered to acknowledge him. Instead, she led Nathan into a room and closed the door, effectively
closing the door in Richard’s face.
Richard knocked on the door a few times. He noticed that the door was locked and a thought struck him.
Sophia now belongs to Joel exclusively, so no one else can have her. That’s the reason why she can’t be
in contact with me.
He left with regrets.
Sophia became the owner of the Harper’s Mansion today, so she was in a rather good mood and
decided to forgive the Harpers for 12 hours. Little did she know that behind her back, the dramatic
Harpers had already written her as the protagonist in their imaginary life-and-death epic drama.
Michael was still ying mahjong while the clients waiting outside were bing impatient. Daniel had
a cigarette between his lips when he yed mahjong, wearing an annoyed expression when his
assistant entered to urge him several times. Finally, he unwillingly left his lounge to work.
Sophia was obviously the recement since there were only three yers.
Unfortunately, she stared at the mahjong tile on the table with a dazed expression, seemingly not to have
learned such a high-end game. She fumbled for the longest time, but she was still clueless. Stanley even
mocked her. “Sophie, you usually look intelligent, but why are you stupid at such important times like
this? You can’t even y mahjong!”
Michael picked up a tile while quietly stubbing the cigarette between Stanley’s lips. “Kids shouldn’t
smoke!”
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Sophia, who was sitting across Michael, was staring at her mahjong tiles intently. Her pink and adorable
face looked extremely cute, especially with her current expression.
I want to pinch her cheeks badly!
Suppressing his urge to pinch her, hemented, “Chica, if you can’t y the game, you will be yed.
Why don’t you observe Daniel when he helps the Harpers with their fortune telling?!”
Is Daniel predicting the Harper Family’s fortune for them? That’s great!
Sophia put down her mahjong tiles and walked out to Daniel’s ‘office’, pretending to be someone who
served tea and brought a few cups of floral tea.
Daniel’s office was filled with a pleasant scent that reminded her of a refreshing breeze—the decorations
were simple with a few famous calligraphy and paintings on the wall while the incense, which was lit, on
the ck table somehow made people rxed.
He wore a mandarin jacket, which seemed dated, and had a string of prayer beads in his left hand while
a cross hung on his chest. The table in the middle was for the Daoist Three Pure Ones whereas the one
on the right was to worship the God of Wealth and the Lucky Cat was hanging on the left wall. The room
was a mix-and-match; neither was it Oriental nor was it Western. It was obvious that he was a swindler,
but people just seemed to believe him.
While wearing an unreadable expression on his face, he pretended to examine the Harper Family’s
horoscope as the Harpers waited anxiously at the side.
Sophia entered Daniel’s office with the tea, cing a cup of it in front of everyone in an orderly manner.
Richard’s knotted brows rxed upon seeing her entering the room and his eyes twinkled with a smile.
Mrs. Harper also saw Sophia, but the former merely cocked a brow and it was impossible to tell whether
she was delighted or angry.
No wonder we were able to quickly secure an appointment when we were trying to schedule for one with
Daniel. Considering that there are many people trying to reserve an appointment slot with Daniel, it’s
almost impossible to see him in person if we had scheduled it within these few days. However, when we
tried to book an appointment two days ago, Daniel informed us toe today. It looks like Sophia is
working here as a server and has pulled some strings for us.
On one hand, Mrs. Harper felt that it was only natural for Sophia to serve the Harpers. On the other
hand, she figured that since Sophia had slept with Joel, she could be entangled with Daniel too. A loose
woman like Sophia will never join the Harper Family. Well, unless she is able to connect Ka with the
Fletchers. If she is able to marry into the Fletcher Family, I might consider giving Sophia a chance.
Sophia stood at the side in silence after serving tea while observing how Daniel was able to fool the
entire Harper Family.
After going through the entire Harper Family’s horoscope, he nced at Ka’s horoscope again before
frowning deeply and pretended while gesturing with his fingers.
He counted with his fingers for almost thirty minutes and the Harper Family remained silent throughout
the entire time. This is a familiar situation.
When Joe brought Sophia to see Daniel years ago, he gestured and counted with his fingertips for a few
minutes. In the end, Daniel predicted that Sophia would bring death to the entire Edwards Family.
After what seemed like eternity, he finally broke the silence while shaking his head. “Out of the five
elements, your daughtercks gold, which exins why she has been ‘absorbing gold’. The older she
gets, the more she will absorb. Gold represents fortune and wealth. Therefore, Mr. Harper, you have
been recently short of ‘gold’ because your daughter has absorbed all of it.”
The Harper Family looked horrified when they heard that, looking as if everything had finally made
sense. It is true that Ka has been spending a lot of the Harper Family’s moneytely. She made a
mess in school and even caused trouble in Audistin. The Harpers have spent almost nine figures to sort
out her affairs.
We have spent arge sum for her charity banquet, but she did not appreciate that. On the contrary, we
even lost the Harper’s Mansion—and that in itself is an astronomical figure! Master Levine sees through
everything as a bystander. His exnation is like a wake-up call! He is a true master!
Ka stared at her palms as the color rapidly drained from her face. It turns out that my lifecks gold,
which is why the Harpers are going through so much hardship! How is this possible? This is all Sophia’s
evil scheme!
She was blinded by anger and mmed the table before abruptly standing up to point at Sophia, who
was standing beside Daniel, screaming, “It is indeed all because of you, you b*tch! You must be having
an affair with this quack and told him to speak ill of me, didn’t you? You, b*tch! I’ll kill you!”
Richard immediately pushed her down onto the chair while viciously threatening her, “Do you still think
you haven’t caused enough trouble?”
Mr. Harper immediately apologized to Daniel in a hurry, “I am so sorry, Master Levine. My daughter is
immature, so, please don’t take it to heart. Do continue; please continue, hehe—”
Daniel had a frosty expression with his handsome face being upset. “Mr. Harper, if you think that my
fortune telling is inurate, you are free to leave.”
The Harpers immediately panicked when they realized that Daniel was fuming. We can’t afford to offend
Daniel Levine!
