Chapter 21 Isabella Slapped Sophia
Isabella stared at the two women weirdly and turned to Draxton with a confused look.
Even without a word, her eyes showed obvious doubt. "Are those two nuts?"
Draxton was initially in a bad mood, yet seeing Isabella's confused look, he grinned with joy.
*Just leave them alone and take your time," said Draxton.
Realizing that the two women were nuts, Isabella held the juice and walked passed Amelia.
Before speaking, Amelia froze for a while and turned to sit on the couch.
"Draxton, as the chieftain, you are not supposed to spoil and indulge a maid in this way. Otherwise, she would grow even more ambitious and go too far someday!"
Draxton looked down without glancing at Amelia. Soon after, he said indifferently, "That's true. She might want to go too far."
"That's precisely what I am saying, Draxton. Look at that maid. She is high off her ass upon her prettiness and even forgets her status!
"I have seen so many of her kind. She only wants to move to the higher classes, doesn't she? You cannot keep someone like this, Draxton. It's better to send her away soon!" Amelia was about to keep grumbling endlessly.
On the other side, Cooper, Alan, and Martin all looked at Amelia with sympathy.
Mr. Lockwood must have blacklisted Amelia Hart. But, unfortunately, the latter had no clue about the fact at all.
Draxton stared at Amelia reticently without uttering a word.
Instead, Amelia took it as consent and changed the topic, not bothering to care about a trivial maid.
She began to say nice things about Sophia.
"Draxton, Sophia had already got her doctorate at the young age of only 25. She can master four foreign languages and specializes in Financial Management. How about this? Why don't you recruit her as you assistant? By the way, she needs some discipline as well.
"She is way too stubborn, though. Considering that you saved her life, she turned down her father's offer of a position in our company and insisted on joining your team, claiming to repay you in this way. But, of course, ! have nothing to do with her..."
"Mom, feel free to continue talking with Drax. As for me, I am going to get a drink from the kitchen to quench my thirst."
With that said, Sophia got to her feet.
Cooper and the other guys, who were all rubbernecking, could not help but sneer.
How could a stranger enter the kitchen?
However, Cooper did not reach out to stop Sophia. Instead, Alan, who was worried, followed Sophia into the kitchen and watched her discreetly.
Even though Alan did not think that Sophia might not dare poison them, he would never allow himself to let his guard down.
Seeing Alan follow her in, Sophia knew this guy was a right-hand man of Draxton's. She thought for a second, deciding to please him.
"Dear Bro, do you know Drax's favorite drink?"
Tilting her head, Sophia winked at Alan and asked in a joyful tone.
Alan looked at her with a deadpan expression. "Is there anything wrong with your eyes?"
Sophia was shocked for the moment.
"No, of course not! Dear Bro, you must be kidding me."
Sophia was annoyed deep down. But since Alan was Draxton's right-hand man, she did not want to turn on
him at that point.
"Why do you keep blinking your eyes, then?"
Sophia went speechless.
The smile on her face stiffened, and she started to resent Alan on the sly.
She would have to wait till Drax fell for her one day and let Alan regret having said these rude words to her.
"In addition to what I have just said, stop calling me 'Dear Bro.' I do not have a younger sister." Alan's handsome face was covered with indifference.
This woman seemed even more disgusting than Isabella Thompson.
Nevertheless, Isabella possessed more tact than Sophia.
Looking at Alan's deadpan face, Sophia get really furious. And yet, she just pouted her lips with a sense of resignation
"Alright. I will not pursue it anymore. What is your name, then? What would you like me to call you?"
Alan stared at Sophia in dead silence.
Sophia was not a good cook, but she could make certain beverages.
She intended to make Draxton a drink in person to show off her virtuousness and excellent skills.
She opened the refrigerator to look for fruit, veggies, and milk.
"What about making Drax a glass of apple and veggie juice? Does it sound great?"
Sophia kept talking regardless of Alan's unresponsiveness and took the food out, cutting the apple in a lively and happy manner.
"How is it? I even cut all of them into small cubes. Great knife skills, isn't it?"
She smiled while looking up at Alan with glorious eyes, inclined to make a good impression on others.
However, that was just for the general public. To a seasoned man like Alan, Sophia's trick was too bad and
naive.
Alan could not help but sneer. He almost failed to take it anymore.
"I am sure Mr. Lockwood will not have your drink. Stop it at once and leave the kitchen unless you are going to drink it yourself," replied Alan, gritting his teeth. Since Alan was in such an unfriendly mood, Sophia widened her eyes in surprise.
She winked and looked at Alan innocently as if at her wits' end.
She put so much effort into behaving herself without noticing that she was merely acting like a clown.
In her mind, Draxton would like her drink and get obsessed over that flavor.
And yet, Alan's facial expression was incredibly gloomy.
Sophia had always been indulged and spoiled by her family unconditionally. No one had ever denounced her as Alan did just now.
In an instant, she felt wronged, dropping all the food and running out of the kitchen.
She rushed out with a pair of reddened eyes. In the living room, Amelia was still endlessly complimenting Sophia to Draxton. Seeing Sophia show up, Amelia froze.
Sophia glanced at Alan and then turned to Amelia and Draxton. "I would like to stroll in Drax's garden," she said.
Once Sophia stepped into the garden, she saw Isabella sitting on the swings and Ricky crouching on the grass.
Especially when Sophia spotted those mediocre clothes worn by Ricky, she could not hide the trace of contempt in her eyes.
Who was this maid? How dare she bring a kid to work. Such an inferior and uneducated woman did not deserve a job at Northenville Manor!
Blinking, Sophia realized that few people dare to bring a kid to work under normal circumstances. Hence, this kid must belong to that woman named Bella! Aha. Even as a mother, Bella dared to seduce the chieftain. She was so shameless and delusional!
Sophia glanced at Isabella with a smile on her face and walked toward Ricky, still smiling.This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
She squatted in front of Ricky and spoke to the latter softly in a foreign language. "Little mutt, is that woman over there your mom?"
Isabella, who initially sat casually on the swings with a tender look, suddenly sharpened her gaze.
If Isabella could not understand Italian, she must be unaware of Sophia's malicious intention, thinking that the woman was being friendly to Ricky instead. However, she had no problem understanding every word.
Isabella got off the swings and approached Sophia step by step, looking down at her with a dreadful gaze. Ricky was all she cared about. No one was allowed to hurt her son. How dare this woman insult Ricky This improper act undoubtedly enraged her to a great extent.
Initially, Sophia intended to mock and laugh at the mother and son. Then, all of a sudden, she felt a shadow above, enveloping her. Being unwilling to bear such a dire gaze, Sophia got on her feet immediately. Slap!
Unexpectedly, as soon as Sophia stood up, she got a heavy slap on the cheek.
