Chapter 1307
Stanley was demanding, whereas Maisie was adorable. They managed to get Sophia to instruct the
kitchen to prepare a lot of delicious food to serve them.
During the meal, Stanley keptining, “Sophia, you won’t believe the quality of our family’s cook.
Oh, my God! Her cooking skills… I am sure she used to cook at a high school canteen for the masses.
Even her way of simply boiling a pot of water is dubious. You can’t even begin to imagine the type of
life the three of us have to endure at home! It’s better to have instant noodles every meal! She is very
old, and so I just can’t fire her. I’ve bought the all-inclusive insurance funds for her too, and I’m just
waiting for her insurance to mature next year. With that, she’ll be able to retire and return to her
hometown, while I will switch to a great cook immediately.”
Sophia listened attentively, but she noticed that he did not mention anything about that little girlfriend of
his.
Nevertheless, Sean was around, and so she was embarrassed to ask further.
Sophia kept serving Maisie different dishes. On the other hand, Stanley was busy stuffing his face, but
he did serve Sean some dishes too.
“Sean, eat more. We can’t even be sure when’s the next meal after this!”
Sophia scowled while thinking to herself. Stupid Fletcher. What is he talking about?
Stanley kept cing a variety of food on Sean’s te. Being well-versed with Sean’s favorite dishes,
he was precise in picking the dishes thetter loved.
With Stanley around, Sophia watched him as he snatched away the food. It inadvertently formed a
sense ofpetition during the meal, causing Sophia to feel the pressure. She was afraid that she
might lose out on the food she enjoyed. Therefore, she started snatching some dishes too, and without
noticing it, she had gobbled down three bowls of rice.
Judge approached them too; it ate Sophia’s home-baked dog food underneath the table, wolfing down
the food like a pig.
Tonight’s meal was exceptionally delicious, and so they polished everything off.
After dinner, they sat in the living room to watch ‘News Bulletin’. Stanley went down to the wine cer
for two bottles of red wine to pair with the stewed dishes he had brought along. He did that while
chatting with Sophia about thetest gossip.
“My cybercafé has started its operation. Are you dropping by? Is your husband visiting? Will Nicole
come along? In any case, Sarah and Mr. Harry are going, and so all of you have toe too! By the
way, how’s the progress of getting your dad to officiate the opening ceremony of my cybercafé?”
Sophia wrapped her arms around Justin’s baby while mumbling to Stanley in acknowledgement.
They had opened thergest cybercafé in the world together, and it was a big deal in the world of e-
sports. They had invited many famous e-sports yers for the opening day, and they even went out of
the way to invite Cooper to cut the ribbon during the opening ceremony.
After all, he was considered the Grandmaster in the gaming industry.
Soon, Stanley mentioned the gossip he had promised to share with Sophia. “Do you know Lucy? She’s
from the Edwards Family. I’m sure you’ve heard that two months ago, she’s been exposed as a
homosexual, and she’s been trying to create a fake marriage. Therefore, the Edwards relieved her of
her administrative power of the family business…”
Sophia paid attention right away while straightening her back automatically. “What happened to her?”
she asked.
Since Sophia had rescued Lucy secretly and allowed her to recuperate at home, Stanley had no idea
about Lucy all along. Therefore, he was especially boastful when he bragged about this piece of
gossip.
“Oh, my! She was chased out of the Edwards Family! After that, there has been no news of her for two
months. Rumors have it that she must have left the Edwards Family for abroad, butst night… she
showed up suddenly at the main entrance of the Edwards Residence. She kneeled down at the door to
beg her father and family to forgive her. She was on her knees the whole ofst night and today—in
fact, she’s still kneeling there right now!”
Upon hearing that, Sophia stood up abruptly with a whoosh before she noticed that it was pouring
heavily outside. During springtime, the temperatures would fluctuate constantly—the sky might be clear
in the day, but it might be drizzling in the night. For example, it had been raining heavilyst night and
tonight.
Lucy has been kneeling at the entrance of the Edwards Residence for a day and a night… Even an
ordinary person might not survive such circumstances, not to mention Lucy, whose health has yet to
recover fully. How could she possibly survive this?!
She mentioned that it was imperative that shepleted a task. She said that she had to go because
there was no turning back. However, I did not expect that she’d be returning to the Edwards Residence!
Suddenly, Sophia felt extremely unsettled.
There is no ce for her in the Edwards Family anymore. Why did she go back there? Jordan is
suspicious by nature, and so he will kill her if she returns. Furthermore, will Anna and her son ept
her return?
Sophia handed the baby in her arms to the nanny before she picked her bag to leave the house.
However, Sophia had merely taken a few steps when she realized that she was in no position to help
Lucy.
I might worsen the situation if I go there… Lucy is such a proud person, and she is the pride of the
Edwards Group. Currently, she’s kneeling in front of the main entrance of the Edwards Residence while
being criticized by all the Edwards Family members, whereas onlookers, who are passing by the
Edwards Residence, must be talking about her behind her back. It must have taken a lot of
determination to do that! Furthermore, I’m sure Anna wouldn’t allow Lucy to return to the Edwards
Family smoothly.
Sophia sat down again, looking especially anxious. However, she wasn’t sure why she was so anxious
about this matter.
Stanley was eating a chicken feet dish while sipping some red wine. “Sophia, I know that you are close
with Lucy, but this is the Edwards Family’s matter. Why would you stick your nose into it when you’re
an outsider?” he asked.
Sean added, “The Edwards Family will sort it out themselves.”
The Edwards had embarrassed themselves horribly among the great families this time because the
eldest daughter of the current family head was actually a homosexual. In all honesty, it was one thing
that the Edwards Family couldn’t ept her sexual orientation, but they just couldn’t ept the lies
involved too. Therefore, they were furious with Lucy.
Sean had a gulp of red wine too. After all, they weren’t heading home tonight because they were
nning on staying here over the weekend for free meals and a free stay. Sean did not have to drive,
and so he let his guard down by drinking more liquor.
Nevertheless, even the most delicious red wine tasted bitter upon swallowing at such a moment.
As children of old and well-known families, we are shackled to the idea of feudalism the moment we
arrive in this world. We can’t live freely, and so I understand Lucy. I thought that she would be able to
change everything… but who would have thought that it was just an absurd farce. In the end, she
returned to the Edwards Family to admit her mistakes.
To be honest, there have been people setting new norms in life even before Lucy—take Linus, for
example.
Among all the children of the old and well-known families within Bayside City, Linus stays true to his
principled nonconformity. He is never afraid of others’ opinions or criticisms. There are still plenty of
forces adhering to the old ways within the Mitchell Family, but Cooper suppressed them all. Hence, the
other well-known and old families can only darement in secret because they are afraid of the
consequences if the overprotective Cooper finds out.
This is the reason I am adamant on working with Cooper. Within the Mitchell Family, he is fair, and
everybody is respected. Cooper will promote anyone with talent, no matter what their background is…
In the past, the Mitchell Family used to make me feel suffocated. However, I am fond of the Mitchells
now because this is my first time experiencing the happiness and pride of being a part of the Mitchell
Family!
Besides, there’s the Fletcher Family too. Dana is an oddball, but she is still openly involved in the
administrative work in the Fletcher Family. Furthermore, she is known as the infamous Mr. Dana
in Bayside City’s underworld. She would shoot anyone who has the audacity to drop ament on the
spot.

The Fletchers find Dana extremely troublesome. But although they find her embarrassing, they would
not let anyone who made a negativement about her off the hook. In fact, they would punish
someone directly if they were to make any criticism!
However, when the news involving Lucy was revealed, it seems that her family has be the ones to
hurt her the most. Her ‘family members’…
