Chapter 26
Perhaps the day had started too smooth. When Sophia arrived at the harbor, she bumped into two
people she did not wish to see.
At least she did not feel like seeing Bethany and Thalia on such a good day.
That day, Sophia wore a champagne-colored maxi dress. While the hem of her dress flowed gracefully
in the breeze, her long chestnut curly hair was ruffled by the wind, revealing her bright and beautiful
face.
Even Thalia, who despised Sophia, was amazed and could not deny that thetter had a charming
face.
Looking at Sophia walking in her direction, Thalia thought the former was there to plead with her. After
all, she had hired someone to spread the photos of Sophia secretly dating another man before
divorcing Alexander some time ago.
With that thought in mind, she subconsciously raised her head and arrogantly waited for Sophia to beg
her.
However, Sophia passed by her at a close distance just like that. Momentarily stunned, Thalia quickly
regained her senses and became infuriated.
She ran after Sophia, who went straight ahead without turning back. “Hey!”
Not getting any response, she was so angry that she stomped her feet. “Sophia Yarrow! Are you deaf?”
Only then did Sophia stop in her tracks and look back, sweeping her gaze across Bethany before
landing it on Thalia. “Are you calling me?”
“Is someone else here other than you?”
Anger was bottling up inside Thalia''s heart, almost choking her to death.
“But my name is not ''hey''.” Sophia raised her eyebrow. Then, she shed Thalia a faint smile and
continued, “How may I help you, Ms. Xenos?”
Stumped by her words, Thalia became even angrier. “What are you doing here? Are you here to take
your own life?”
“Take my own life? That''s humorous of you, Ms. Xenos.” Her remarks amused Sophia.
“This is the harbor. Bethany and I are here to go for a sail. Unless you''re here for that, too, what are
you doing here?”

Halfway through her sentence, Thalia suddenly thought of something, and her face fell. “Could it be
that Charlize has invited you to go for a sail as well?”
Just then, the yacht manager approached them. “Ms. Yarrow.”
Finding it meaningless to continue the conversation with Thalia, Sophia said, “Excuse me, I have some
matter to attend to. Do enjoy yourself out at the sea.”
The coldness and impatience in her eyes were very obvious when she spoke. As her words fell, she
walked toward the man next to her. “Mr. Brown.”
The man, Xavier Brown, asked awkwardly, “Am I interrupting your conversation with your friends, Ms.
Yarrow?”
“No. I don''t know them.” Sophia tilted her head to look at Thalia and Bethany beside them.
Xavier heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing that. “Come. Let me take you to Ste and show you
around.”
Sophia nodded. “Sure.”
Thalia''s face turned pale at Sophia''s words. Gritting her teeth, she snorted, “I''d like to see who invited
her to a sail!”
Coincidentally, Sophia''s yacht docked right next to Thalia''s.
Charlize Johnson was Charles'' younger sister. She was not a close friend of Thalia, but they were in
the same circle. When Thalia knew Charlize had borrowed Charles'' yacht to go for a sail, she phoned
Charlize to ask if Charlize could bring her along.
Since Thalia had asked her personally, Charlize thought she could not possibly reject the former.
There were quite a number of wealthy families in Jadeborough. Since the social circle was the same,
everyone generally knew each other. As Thalia still could not find any familiar faces on the yacht beside
them after staring at it for a long time, she asked, “Charlize, do you know who the owner of that yacht
is?”
Charlize shook her head. “No, I don''t.”
Then, she looked at the man sent by Charles behind her. “Hey, do you know who owns that yacht?”
“No. All I know is that it just arrivedst night. I''m yet to find out who the owner is, though.”
Lifting her chin, Charlize looked at Thalia and queried, “Why? Did you see someone you know?”
“Of course not!” Thalia gritted her teeth and headed inside the yacht with Bethany.
Charlize pursed her lips upon seeing that. She had thought that Thalia would not need to tag along with
her if Thalia met an acquaintance.
Inside the yacht, Bethany gazed at the yacht behind them through the window and went into deep
thoughts.
Her eyes lit up when she heard Thaliaining that Sophia could have hooked up with a tycoon.
However, when she shifted her gaze to Thalia, she wore a suspicious expression. “I don''t think Ms.
Yarrow is such a person, Tally.”
Upon hearing that, Thalia, who had not gotten any response after talking for a long time, naturally
spilled the beans and told Bethany everything. “Why not? Don''t be deceived by her appearance,
Bethany. In truth, she had never behaved herself over the three years she married into my family. I
even took pictures of her secretly dating different men behind my brother''s back.”
Bethany still pretended not to believe her words. “Maybe they''re just friends?”
“That''s not possible, Bethany. Have you ever seen any woman meeting friends of the opposite sex in
the tinum room of Corona?”
Corona was a famous private club specifically for the rich in Jadeborough with absolute privacy and
high-end facilities. The club had three sses of rooms, and the tinum room was the highest. One
must be the club''s VIP to use the tinum room. Even if the person merely joined the club VIP and did
not use any facilities, the annual fee itself would still cost over three million.
Despite that, many celebrities would still enrol as VIP members and did not mind paying the expensive
annual fee. After all, none of the paparazzi had ever taken pictures of them inside the club, and they
were confident that their privacy was well-protected.
In fact, it was not Thalia''s fault for imagining things, as the act of Sophia entering the tinum room
with a male was indeed suspicious.
“Did you see it with your own eyes, or was it merely a rumor? You see, people tend to exaggerate
things nowadays. Maybe Ms. Yarrow was only having a little chat with her friend in the cafe back then.
When people spread about it, their words took on a whole different meaning.” Bethany pursed her lips.
“Don''t be naive, Bethany. It''s definitely not a rumor, and I do have photos of her secretly dating other
men. If you don''t believe me, I can show them to you.”
After saying that, she searched for the photos on her phone.
Bethany had seen the photos long ago because Thalia had already posted them on Twitter two hours
ago.
Still, she pretended to be oblivious and looked at the photos on Thalia''s phone. A long momentter,
she heaved a sigh andmented, “I never thought Sophia was this type of person.”
“Hmph! Theizens are really stupid. Once Sophia''s side made a stand for the gossip circling online,
they immediately turned around and supported her.”
At the mention of that, Thalia somehow regretted bribing the media to nder Sophia''s name. She was
not afraid of Sophia. In fact, she was dubious about whether Sophia was trying to take the opportunity
and make a debut. After all, Sophia was penniless after leaving Alexander.
Meanwhile, Sophia did not know what was on poor Thalia''s mind. She was utterly satisfied after taking
a stroll around the yacht with Xavier.
Sure enough, one must have money.
When she thought she would be able to sail freely on her own yacht sometimeter, she felt that her
anticipations in life were much higher now.
Sophia was so in love with “Ste” that she purchased it for a huge sum and stayed on it until lunch
hour. Only then did she bade Xavier goodbye and leave the harbor.
As soon as she returned to the city, she received a message from Katherine: Soph, do you want to
have some fun? I''ll see you at six in the evening at Corona, tinum room 168!
While waiting for the traffic light, Sophia took the opportunity to check on her phone. Pursing her lips,
she smiled as she replied to the message: Okay. As the traffic turned green, she stepped on the
elerator and continued her journey.
