Chapter 3 Love Rival (Part Two)
She didn't raise her hand to knock on the door until she heard the people stopped talking.
Knock... knock!
Nobody answered.
Knock! Knock!
For a second time, nobody came to the door.
After a third try, the door finally cracked open.
Peter stuck his head out, his eyes widening with panic. "You... Sophia... Why are you here all of a sudden?"
'How did I ever come to love such a cowardly man!' Sophia thought at this moment.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?" Sophia said sweetly with a sly smile.
"Sophia, I..." Peter stammered, not being able to think up of a good excuse.
"Call me Miss Sophia from now on, okay?" she snapped back at him. Then, Sophia opened the door and shoved Peter away, heading straight towards the bedroom.
Peter tried to get there before she did.
But it was too late! Standing by the bedroom door, Sophia glared coldly at the woman who was wearing Peter's shirt.
When Sophia decided to come here, she was prepared to accept the fact that Peter was seeing another woman. But it still didn't prepare her for what she saw. Her heart broke into even tinier pieces --
Peter was hooking up with her half-sister, Jenny Jian!
Jenny Jian stared back at Sophia with a naughty look in her eyes!
Ever since the first day Stellar and Jenny came into Jian family, Jenny Jian always stared at Sophia with that same look in her big eyes. It wasn't long before Sophia noticed that Jenny Jian wanted everything she had. As long as it was Sophia's, Jenny Jian would try her best to get it from her through either Caspar or Stellar.
But it never occurred to Sophia that even her boyfriend, Peter, was going to be taken away by her!
No wonder Jenny Jian sent Sophia that picture in WeChat earlier. She was showing off her success! NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
"Sophia! Please, just let me explain!" Gritting his teeth, Peter grabbed Sophia's arm.
"Fine!" Sophia grabbed Peter's hand and pushed it away from her. "Tell me how you can possible explain this," she said coldly.
Sophia was cool and calm, which made Peter speechless for a moment and looked at Sophia in astonishment.
"You see. I told you I was right. She doesn't love you at all, Peter. She has caught you cheating and yet she doesn't even seem angry at you! I think it's time to wake up and smell the roses." Jenny giggled as she twirled her hair around her fingers.
"You never really loved me, did you? You never let me touch you. Not even once, ever," Peter said in a low voice.
"Do you really think that's supposed to let you off the hook? Peter, I just want to ask you one question. Do you even know what the relationship between me and that woman is?" Sophia sneered.
"Of course he knows!" As Sophia spoke, Jenny got out of the bed, walked to Peter's side and held his arm intimately. As if that was not enough, she lifted his face up and kissed him deeply and shamelessly right in front of Sophia.
"I am your woman and you should be responsible for me. Tell her, you knew exactly what you were doing," Jenny whispered in his ear, although she knew well that Sophia could hear.
A pained expression appeared on Peter's face. "I'm sorry," he said softly, not daring to look directly at Sophia.
"It doesn't matter," Sophia sighed indifferently. For a moment, Jenny was shocked at how calm Sophia looked, but managed to quickly compose herself. "We have decided to be together. You'll give us your blessing, right? My dearest sister?" Jenny pressed. She raised her chin at Sophia, not wanting to stop her bragging.
"You go behind my back and you still expect me to give you two my blessing? Huh, I never thought that you were this naive," Sophia replied, her lips pursing thoughtfully.
Then Sophia slowly turned around. Looking around at the apartment for a bit, her face frowned with disgust, looking as if she couldn't stand being in that dirty apartment for another second.
Being the prideful woman that she was, Jenny gritted her teeth with anger. Just when she was about to chase after Sophia, Peter stopped her.
The moment Sophia stepped out of Peter's apartment, she felt as if a heavy weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Now, she just couldn't help but think how she had been so blind all this time!
With a faint smile, she headed back home. Upon reaching home, Sophia heard shouting coming from inside the house.
'What's going on? Are Caspar and Stellar actually fighting?'
Sophia frowned. She wanted to go back to her room directly, but it was obviously impossible. With nowhere else to go, Sophia went up the front door. As soon as she entered, Stellar immediately turned her attention to her. "Where's Jenny?" Stellar asked in a hard tone.
"If you know where she is, you'd better tell us right now," Caspar chimed in.
Sophia shrugged her shoulders callously. "I don't know. She's probably busy finding a son-in-law for you. I'm sure she'll come back when she's done playing around."
"What the hell are you talking about?" Stellar snapped back furiously, feeling deeply insulted. All her life she had groomed and taken extra care of Jenny so that her daughter could marry into a wealthy family.
But unfortunately, that ship had sunk! If Stellar knew that Jenny had an affair with Peter, she would definitely lose her head!
"I'm not talking nonsense! You can go ask her yourself. Who knows? Maybe she'll even bring her new boyfriend here tomorrow."
This was the first time Caspar saw Stellar get angry like this. "Enough!" Caspar boomed. "Do you even know what the most important thing at hand is? Today, the people from the YS Group came to me and made an ultimatum. We have to pay off all our debt plus interest within three days or else we have to sell the JH Group! If we lose the JH Group, this will be the end for all of us?"
"The YS Group?" Sophia asked in shock. 'Isn't the YS Group that asshole's company?' Sophia thought as she remembered Victor. It turned out that this was the reason why Caspar was losing his temper -- he was about to lose his company.
