Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 816

With her eyes filled with tears, the young girl curled up in one corner of the room. Seeing Sophia, she trembled in fright. The young girl, who was only ten years old, hadn't experienced this kind of ordeal before so she was frightened.

Walking up to her, Sophia crouched down.

With a fearful expression, the young girl stared at Sophia as her tears streamed down her face. She doesn't look like me at all. No one could have guessed that we were born from the same mother, Sophia thought.

Knowing Sophia's identity, the young girl stammered, "I-I didn't want to come. S-She forced me to come with her. I was at school when she requested a leave for me." As she was speaking, she avoided meeting Sophia's eyes.

However, Sophia didn't like the way the young girl shifted all the blame to her mother. If she really didn't want to come, Kay would never have been able to threaten her into doing so. With an impassive face, Sophia extended her hand and clenched the young girl's chin to make the latter meet her eyes.

Horrified, the young girl shrieked hysterically.

Hearing that, Kay became flustered in an instant. "Soph, don't hurt your sister!" With a hoarse voice, she yelled in a way that was almost unintelligible.

Ignoring her, Sophia exerted more force on her hand, which caused the young girl to scream louder.

Kay kept yelling until she couldn't help but start bawling. In a weakened voice, she pleaded, "Blame it all on me if you hate me. Don't hurt a young and innocent girl..."

A young and innocent girl? I don't think so, Sophia thought cold-bloodedly. She remembered that when Kay gave her a phone call and made the young girl call her 'sister', the young girl did as she was told. When Kay asked the young girl to sing for Sophia, she obeyed the order as well.

If she really didn't want to be dragged into this, she shouldn't have played along with Kay in the first place. Now that they're not able to extort money from me, she's claiming this young girl is innocent? That's ridiculous, Sophia thought.

As Sophia clenched the young girl's chin even harder, the latter's face was now practically covered in tears.

Standing in the doorway, John kept watch on Sophia, for he was afraid that the young girl might harm her. Well, it seems that it's the other way round now. Gazing at Sophia, John felt sorry for her.

Whatever problems she had to face, she would always tackle them bravely. Even if she had to deal with these nasty people, she wouldn't seek anyone's help. Perhaps it was because she was used to relying on herself. Without any support in the past, she had learned to solve all the problems on her own. It was a good quality that she possessed, but it made John feel sympathetic for her.

Afraid that Sophia might kill her, the young girl shouted, "Mom, come here now! She wanna kill me! She wanna kill me!" As her chin was gripped, she couldn't speak clearly.

Terrified, Kay bellowed, "Sophia! Don't hurt your own sister!"

With a cold expression, Sophia extended even more force on her hand, which caused the young girl to wail in pain.

Hearing her daughter's plight, Kay was flustered and kept begging Sophia to stop. A while later, when she still heard her daughter screaming, she couldn't help but start scolding Sophia.

However, her accusations against Sophia sounded rather unfounded, as they had never lived together before. All she could say was that Sophia was a monster who was cold-blooded enough to harm her own sister.

When she was done with reprimanding Sophia, she gave it a thought and started blaming the Gwendolyn Family instead.

Initially, she was scolding Walter Gwendolyn. Then, she slowly shifted her blame to Sophia's grandfather. "He's such a useless old fart who didn't have enough wealth for his own son. Otherwise, Walter and I wouldn't have to run away from home!"
