Chapter 147
The Ford family villa was located on the south bank of Herzoslovakia City, right next to
a wetland park that served as a gathering place for the city’s elite and prominent
families.
Nora was delighted with this prime location and had David buy a villa nearby, just a few
minutes‘ walk away from the Ford family.
Of course, Sophia was the happiest person. Her family was right nearby, and even if
Violet wanted to bully her, she had to think twice. And if she wasn’t happy staying with
the Ford family, she could always go back home.
The sunlight outside was perfect. Nora brought a cup of tea and placed it in front of
Sophia. She sat down on the sofa and sipped her tea gracefully, saying, ‘This tea was
given to David by someone else. Give it a try.
Sophia, who had no interest in drinking tea at the moment, replied, “Mom, I don’t want
to drink.

“Alright, why are you so unhappy? Tell me, what happened this time?”
Seeing her mother, Sophia couldn’t hold back her grievances and wanted to pour them
out immediately. “Mom, Malcolm went to see Sherry again.”
Nora paused, her hand holding the tea. “Did he tell you?”
“No, this matter is a bit complicated.” Sophia sighed, her eyes looking uneasy. She
seemed to be annoyed. “It’s Sherry. She called me and asked me to control Malcolm.
She doesn’t want to see him.”
“Huh! How arrogant!” Nora chuckled lightly. “Have you forgotten what I taught you last
time?”
“I haven’t forgotten. You told me to pretend to be virtuous and gentle, and I did.
Malcolm believed it too. But when Sherry called me, I couldn’t control myself, and t
scolded her a few times. Who knew she would be so cunning and put the call on
speakerphone? Malcolm heard everything.”
After listening, Nora’s face darkened.

She slammed the teacup heavily on the table, her expression turning sour. “Why can’t
you control your temper? What’s the use of getting angry at Sherry? She still managed
to steal your man and hold onto the marriage certificate that you’ve been longing for!
Why do you always create problems for me in these trivial matters? It was so difficult to
make Malcolm have a good impression of you, and now it’s all gone to waste! How did I
give birth to such a useless daughter like you?”
Sophia was frustrated. “Mom, please stop scolding me. I am not as good as you. I have
always said that I am not like you; I don’t have your patience. I am tired of pretending to
be virtuous and gentle. I don’t want to live such a suffocating life anymore.”
‘Then just give up, leave Malcolm, and with David’s connections, you can still find at
good man for yourself.”
Sophia widened her eyes and firmly disagreed. “No, I have worked so hard for this. I am
determined to marry Malcolm!”
Then you better endure it for me!” Nora couldn’t help but get angry when she saw
Sophia’s helpless state. “Tell me exactly what happened at that time. Explain every
detail to me without leaving anything out.”

Sophia had no choice but to tell Nora everything that happened during the phone call.
After listening, Nora tapped her fingers lightly on the coffee table, as if contemplating
something.
“Mom, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Nora glared at her. “I am thinking, can’t you see? I’m asking you, where is Sherry living
now?”
Sophia shook her head. “I only know that she is staying at the Hilton Hotel, but I’m not
sure which room.”
‘How did Malcolm find out, then?”
Sophia was taken aback and didn’t quite understand. “Mom, are you suggesting
something?”
“Aren’t you being naive? Besides herself, who else would know where Sherry is
staying?”

Sophia gasped. “Are you saying that Sherry told Malcolm? Was it intentional?”

“Close enough,” Nora revealed with a shrewd expression. “This Sherry may be young,
but she is quite skilled at manipulating men. She knows all the tricks. I really
underestimated her before.”
Sophia shook her head. “Mom, I don’t think so. Sherry has a new man now, the one who
wore the mask last time. He seems to be quite wealthy. Sherry might not necessarily go
back.”
“She might not go back, but she will definitely seek revenge.” Nora scolded her
relentlessly. “You took her husband away, and she found another one. I believe she
doesn’t care about that. But you should know better than me how obsessed she is with
her father. Now that David has clearly treated you as his own daughter while ignoring
her, and with her mother’s death, do you think she won’t hold us accountable? She
wants both of us to suffer!”
“She’s too cunning!” Sophia gritted her teeth, her eyes full of resentment. “No wonder
David dumped her mother. Her mother is probably not a good person either.”

Nora smiled triumphantly. “Alice? She is merely a fool who became love–obsessed. If
Sherry was as easy to deal with as Alice, would we need to go through so much
trouble?”
Sophia frowned. “David is also old–fashioned, and with a mother who is obsessed with
love, how did Sherry end up so cunning? Mom, teach me, what should I do now?”
Nora said impatiently, “What else can you do? The most urgent thing now is to have the
wedding. Take it step by step. Alright, you go back first; let me think about it. When your

shoulder for a while.”
Sophia didn’t say anything more; she hesitated for a moment and then left.
“Why did Sophia leave as soon as she arrived?” David came out of the study on the
second floor and happened to see Sophia leaving.
Nora immediately put on a gentle and considerate smile and greeted him, “Sophia is
about to get married soon; she’s going to become someone else’s daughter–in–law, so
she wants to find me to get some attention. David, you’ve been working all morning and

must be tired. Try the tea I brewed for you.”
David smiled and took a sip. “It’s not strong enough.”
“I understand; I’ll make it stronger next time.” Nora didn’t argue, accepting whatever he
said obediently.
Sophia called out, “Dad.”
“Good girl,” David couldn’t easily perceive the hidden thoughts between women. He
believed whatever Nora said and thought Sophia was just shy. He comforted her in his
usual carefree manner: “Don’t worry, when you get married, I will hold your hand and
walk you down the aisle.”
Sophia smiled and said, “Thank you, Dad.”
“Silly child, no need to be formal with me.”
Nora whispered to Sophia, “If you continue to visit your parents‘ house before the
wedding, your future mother–in–law might become suspicious. Hurry back.”

Alright.
However, David disagreed. “Why should we worry? It’s perfectly normal for Sophia to
visit her parents‘ house before getting married. Sophia, don’t be afraid. If they mistreat
you, just come back. The Ford family needs me now; they wouldn’t dare harm you.”
