Rebecca soon returned to the room.
Before she even saw Sonia’s cards,
Rebecca could already guess what had transpired just by the ‘gentle’ smile on Tina’s face. Sonia musthave suffered a
harsh defeat when I was away.
Rebecca went to sit next to Sonia and shot
a glance at the cards in Sonia’s hands.
Again, they were not quite useful. Then,
she asked in a low voice, “President Reed,
the woman opposite of you is not any
other woman. She’s your ex-husband’s
lover. Are you really going to be defeated
by her like this?”
“No worries. I just have to win three rounds
out of five.” Sonia smiled. Since she sai down to play poker with them, she looked
as peaceful as ever.
While she replied to Rebecca, she played
yet another card.
“Game.” Tina placed her card down with a
brighter smile on her face,
Rebecca was speechless to hear that.
“President Reed, you have already lost two
rounds to Tina. I think there’s no need to
continue,” Tina’s friend said pompously.
“Tina is not a petty person. As long as you
apologize to her, we will hire the best
tattoo artist to remove the tattoo from
your body.”
Tina raised her head slightly as she looked at Sonia. It looked as though she was waiting for Sonia toconcede defeat. “Would you like to continue, Miss Reed?”
she asked in a gentle yet peaceful tone.
“Of course.” Sonia shuffled the cards again without a change in her expression. “We said that we couldplay five rounds.”
Tina’s friend rolled her eyes at Sonia and she rudely spoke, “We are giving you an
opportunity, yet you are not treasuring it
and pointing the gun at yourself. Tina is so
good at poker that I think you would never
win against her.”
“That’s enough.” Tina stopped her friend,
but she looked at Sonia vindictively. “Since
Miss Reed would like to continue with the
game, I will follow her wishes then.”
They soon started a new round,
Since the occupants in the room were only women, the spectators did not merely watch the game. Whilethey snacked on
the tidbits, they chatted with each other.
Tina’s friend was called Cynthia Stone. On Cynthia’s right was Sonia while Melody was seated onCynthia’s left.
Cynthia was not just watching the game as she even peeled an orange and passed
it to Melody ingratiatingly. “Melody, how
long are you going to stay in Seafield this
time? Are you planning to spend the new
year here?”
“I will return to Norfolk after the new year
Melody threw her cards on the table loudly.
With a frown she added “Peter Southfield
With a frown, she added, “Peter Southfield wants to have a divorce. He’s back here to look for a lawyer.”
Cynthia was shocked to hear this piece of news and carefully skirted around the topic. “Back then, didn’tthe Southfield Family beg your grandfather to betroth you to him? They used your family name toaccomplish many things. How could he even dare to divorce you?
“Well, it’s because” Melody suddenly
remembered something and stopped
elaborating halfway through the sentence.
Then, she merely gave a cold smile. “I’m
not someone he can easily marry and
divorce! I want to see which lawyer in
Seafield is willing to take this case!”
Sonia merely listened to them in the
silence as she lowered her eyes.
She did not know much of the Southfield
Family in Seafield. She was only aware that they were quite influential in this city with almost as muchauthority as the Stryder Family in Norfolk.
Melody had the guts to be arrogant only because of her powerful background and her grandfather, whowas a minister,
supporting her. Even if she was married to
the Southfield Family that was of equal
standing to her family, it was the
Southfield Family that was not good
enough for them.
If the Reed Family did not encounter that tragic accident which claimed the lives of
all its members when Sonia married Toby,
Jean would have had to respect her today,
Not to mention, Sonia wouldn’t have suffered such a shameful defeat in her marriage.
She was lost in her thoughts as she
thought about the past. At this moment,
she suddenly heard Cynthia saying, “Tina will be engaged to President Fuller on New
Year’s Eve and she’s planning to invite us to her place for dinner. Since you will still be in Seafield at thattime, we will have a celebration together.”
“Oh?” Melody was quite shocked to hear
that. “I heard that she was already
engaged to him. Why are they doing that
again?”
“Wall that irae the initial plan buit
“Well, that was the initial plan, but someone stole Tina’s engagement Mecklace. What disgustingbehavior!” Cynthia responded pointedly and shot a glance at Sonia as she raised her voice. “That won’thappen again. President Fuller said that he has only invited a few friends to the Fuller Residence fordinner. Apart from that, the wedding will take place on
Valentine’s Day next year!”
“Getting married on Valentine’s Day?” Melody asked Tina. “Is that true?”
Tina hummed in agreement before she
gave a gentle smile. “I’ve been in a coma
for six years. Toby thinks that we have
already delayed it for quite a long time, so
he wants to get married soon. The
designers have started to design the
wedding dress, but we haven’t selected a
“He even hired someone to specially design the wedding dress for you? Tina, he loves you so much!”Cynthia said in an exaggerated manner to suck up to her.
Upon seeing that Sonia had lowered her head without speaking as though she wanted to pretendCynthia wasn’t there, Cynthia pretended to curiously ask, “Miss Reed, I heard that the wedding dressyou had when you married President Fuller
was plain and ugly. You even wore an
evening gown instead of a wedding dress.
Is it true?”
Sonia remained quiet upon hearing that.
“How could you just wear an evening gown
to your weddina? That’s so unlucky! Is it
because President Fuller refused to buy a wedding dress for you?”
She continued to remain silent.
Upon seeing Sonia’s silence, Cynthia’s voice became even sharper. She even nudged Sonia as sheasked, “Why aren’t you saying anything, Miss Reed?”
“How did you know that President Reed didn’t wear a wedding dress when she got married? Have youpersonally attended her
wedding?” Rebecca could no longer
tolerate Sonia being bullied further. “Apart
from that, there’s something wrong with
your words.”
Cynthia snorted coldly. “She just didn’t have a wedding dress for her wedding.
Can‘t I talk about 117 Apart from that, what’s wrong with what I’ve just said?”
“Everyone knows that President Reed and
President Fuller used to be husband and wife. You bragging about it is just implicitly comparing MissGray’s husband to second hand goods,” Rebecca softly answered with fake innocence.
The moment she said those words, she even shot a glance at Tina. “Don’t you think
so, Miss Gray?”
Cynthia did not expect Rebecca to be extremely sharp with her words. When Cynthia saw the smilefading from Tina’s face, she panicked. “Tina, that’s not what I meant. I never thought of President Fuller
as your second hand husband.”
Rebecca burst out in laughter aller she heard that and used her hand to cover her
red lips. You said that you didn’t mean that, but you keep talking about President
Fuller as if he’s a second hand product.
What exactly do you mean?”
Cynthia was so furious that she was at a loss for words.
Sonia was quite depressed while she
faced Cynthia’s taunts and just wanted to
ignore her. It was unexpected that
Rebecca would stand up for Sonia.
Sonia’s red lips twitched upward. Just as
she was about to speak, she saw the door of the private room being pushed open by a tall figure whoquickly entered.
