CHAPTER 20: CHAPTER 20: HOW ABOUT I INTRODUCE HER TO YOU AS YOUR GIRLFRIEND?

Judy Bishop looked Sophie Sheffield up and down, let out a cold sneer, and spoke rather unpleasantly, "You’re Sophie Sheffield? You do have some looks, no wonder Isaac liked you."

Sophie met Judy Bishop’s gaze, neither humble nor pushy, "Are you Isaac Sutton’s mother?"

"Yes," Judy Bishop said, "Miss Sterling, can we talk somewhere else?"

Sophie curled her lips, "Sorry, I have to go to the airport later, whatever you have to say, just say it here."

Judy Bishop hadn’t expected this young girl to show her no respect, and her face turned cold, "Then I’ll keep it short, it’s impossible for you and Isaac to have a future together. His father and I have already chosen a future wife for him. Only Quinn Hughes is fit to be our Sutton family’s daughter-in-law, so I advise you not to dream about marrying into a wealthy family."

Judy Bishop’s eyes were full of ridicule, "You knew from the start that Isaac was pretending to be poor, right? Otherwise, I can’t think of why you’d be with a penniless boy for over two years. I heard from Isaac that you even worked to support him?"

Sophie hadn’t spoken yet when Judy Bishop continued, "Miss Sterling, the little tricks you played can fool Isaac but not me. Considering that Isaac is serious about you, I agreed to let him keep having a relationship with you after marriage. ."

Sophie let out a cold snort, "So you also think your son has nothing to offer for someone to like him besides money, right?"

Thin anger ignited in Judy Bishop’s eyes, "How dare you talk to me like that?"

"Why wouldn’t I dare?" Sophie mocked coldly, "No wonder Isaac Sutton’s character is so bad, pretending to be poor and playing with women’s feelings, turns out it’s because he has a mother like you. Like mother, like son."

Judy Bishop, used to being a wealthy lady, was accustomed to people treating her with respect wherever she went, always hearing flattering words. How could she stand being retorted like this by a young girl?

She was so angry she clutched her chest, breathing heavily, "How outrageous, you are really...."

"I’m really out of luck, giving all my true feelings to a dog." Sophie curled her lips, "Since you came to me, I won’t be polite. Isaac Sutton spent over two years with me, you can pay back the money for him, I won’t ask for more, I’ve roughly calculated it, forty thousand, WhatsApp or Alipay?"

"You... you..." Judy Bishop took a deep breath, "Ha, you dare to mention forty thousand?"

"If your son can shamelessly cheat for food and drink, why can’t I mention it?"

Judy Bishop gritted her teeth in anger, "Fine, I’ll transfer it to you now, and you better not bother Isaac again."

Sophie held up her payment code, "Auntie, you’re mistaken, I’m not the one pestering, I’ve wanted to break up with him for a long time, please manage your son and tell him not to bother me again."

"Ha, you’re quite stubborn. Would my son fancy you if you weren’t pestering him?" Judy Bishop scanned the code and transferred the money, "I’ve transferred it, don’t ever appear in front of Isaac again."

Sophie glanced down at her phone, confirming the receipt of forty thousand, "Gladly, and please ensure he doesn’t appear in front of me again either."

Judy Bishop: "Don’t tell him I came to see you."

"Don’t worry, I’m about to leave Crestwood today, and I’ll block all his contact information."

"You better do as you say."

Judy Bishop raised the car window, and her Maserati sped away.

...

In the airport’s VIP lounge.

Sophie Sheffield sat on the sofa chatting with Sophie Sheffield. Silas Sheffield sat nearby, dealing with work on his laptop.

Sophie glanced at Silas and retracted her gaze, teasing Sophie with a smile, "Look at my brother, all he knows is work. He’s already twenty-five and doesn’t even have a girlfriend."

Sophie blinked her long eyelashes, smiled slightly without saying a word.

Silas indeed doesn’t have a girlfriend, but he already has a lawful wife.

Sophie didn’t dare to say this to Sophie.

This time, Sophie was only taking two suitcases to Veridian, filled with daily necessities and clothes.

Silas had arranged for movers to transfer her other belongings to his villa at The Ripplewood Estate.

Sophie had just arrived on a flight yesterday and was quite tired, but Silas and Sophie were both flying to Veridian today, and her parents had been abroad for years. She felt bored staying in Crestwood alone.

She hadn’t seen Sophie for a long time, and with Sophie’s mother critically ill, Sophie wanted to spend quality time with her, so she booked a ticket on the same flight to Veridian as Sophie.

Sophie was chatting with Sophie when her phone buzzed.

She picked it up and looked at it, it was Isaac Sutton calling.

Sophie took a glance, "Your ex-boyfriend."

"Yes." Sophie hung up the call and decisively blocked him.

Then she opened WhatsApp and added Isaac Sutton to the blacklist.

"So decisive," Sophie remarked, "What did he do to make you break it off so cleanly?"

Sophie glanced at Silas not far away, he had headphones on, eyes focused on his computer, conducting a video meeting.

He probably couldn’t hear them talking.

Sophie lowered her voice and explained the whole situation to Sophie.

After hearing, Sophie couldn’t help but curse, "That Isaac Sutton is really nothing! And his mother is a freak, wanting you to be a mistress? What an idiot!"

Sophie nodded, "I agree."

Sophie: "I used to envy your sweet romance from your social media photos, who knew Isaac Sutton turned out to be such a scumbag. It angers me so much! How come as soon as I’m abroad, you got bullied?"

Sophie lowered her eyes, "It’s my poor judgment of people."

"Next time, let your sisters help you regain your pride." Sophie was indignant, "Dare to bully my people, I’ll show them what I’m made of."

"Forget it," Sophie said, "I won’t have anything to do with him anymore."

"That’s right, best not to see such scumbags." Sophie said, then furrowed her brows deeply, "But I really want to punch him."

Sophie laughed, "Who doesn’t, I want to too, but I can’t win against him."

Sophie said excitedly, "Call my brother to help you, he’s a ninth-degree black belt in Taekwondo, and he’s learned some grappling techniques."

Sophie’s eyes arched, smiling lightly, "Oh right, I forgot Silas is so amazing."

Back in high school, Sophie had often told Sophie about Silas’s impressive skills.

Sophie didn’t forget, she just never considered asking Silas to help beat someone up.

Fighting is illegal after all, and besides, she wasn’t even close to Silas, asking him to beat up a scumbag for her seemed absurd, didn’t it?

...

Three hours later, the plane landed at Veridian Airport.

Sophie went straight to the hospital to visit her mother without taking a break.

Yvonne Sterling just finished her dinner, and upon seeing her daughter, her eyes reddened a bit.

The mother and daughter chatted in the hospital room while Silas Sheffield and Sophie went to the hallway.

"Brother, what do you think of Clara?" Sophie suddenly asked.

Silas stopped breathing for a moment, then calmly asked back, "What do you mean, what do I think?"

"Don’t play dumb." Sophie blinked, "How about I introduce her to you as a girlfriend?"
