Chapter 631 Guilty

Meanwhile, Sophia and Willow entered Gwendolyn's room. Lucy was astonished when she saw Willowand couldn't stop tugging at Gwendolyn.

“Gwen, you're acquainted with her? Why didn't you introduce me to her earlier?”

Lucy was beyond excited. Still, any woman would've reacted in that manner when they met Willow.

After all, her designs were the pinnacle of the fashion world, and any items from her brand, DK,whether clothes, accessories, or bags, were highly sought after.

Sometimes, even having money wasn't enough; connections were what mattered most.

“If I had known her earlier, I might've made it big by now.”

Lucy fantasized about knowing Tiffany and establishing connections with the latter. In that case, shecould acquire all the new DK bags, clothes, and accessories and make a fortune by selling them towealthy ladies. By then, I won't have to sell alcohol at Night City anymore.

Gwendolyn patted Lucy's hand. “Calm down. She's my mentor.”

Mentor? Lucy almost passed out from the shock. “Are you aspiring to be a designer too?”

That was indeed Gwendolyn's plan because, as far as she could remember, her mother was adesigner, so she wished to follow in her footsteps. “That's the plan.”

Lucy pondered. Once Gwen becomes a famous designer, I'll be able to make even more money.

Willow approached Gwendolyn with a smile. “Gwen, look who's here!”

As soon as they entered the room, Gwendolyn noticed Sophia. She hitched up her skirt and walkedover. “Ms. Sanders.”

Gwendolyn spread her arms and embraced Sophia. That hug gave Gwendolyn a warm feeling, causingall her unease and unhappiness to dissipate.

Sophia held her daughter with complex emotions in her eyes.

She could not acknowledge her relationship with Gwendolyn due to her current identity and could onlyattend the ceremony as a godmother. Not to mention, she wasn't able to announce to the public shewas Gwendolyn's godmother either, which saddened her greatly.

Nevertheless, Sophia was contented to see her daughter happy.

When Sophia released Gwendolyn, her eyes lingered on the latter's petite face as she chirped, “You'vegrown up, and you're getting prettier.”

Her countenance was almost identical to Sophia's.

Gwendolyn smiled. At that moment, her heart was brimming with delight. “Let's sit down and talk, Ms.Sanders.”

Willow led Lucy out of the room, as Sophia would be staying there that night.

Lucy was more than happy to follow Willow. Getting acquainted with Tiffany would secure her path tofinancial freedom.

She had been looking for a job but hadn't found a suitable one. It seemed that she could now start herown business.

Overjoyed, Lucy trailed after Willow.

Inside the room, Gwendolyn poured and served Sophia a glass of water. “Ms. Sanders, have somewater.”

Sophia removed her veil, revealing a distinct scar on her face, which marred her original beauty.

She sipped her water and then held the glass with both hands. “Gwen, you must be happy in thefuture!”

A trace of guilt flashed across her eyes as she gazed at Gwendolyn. Sophia had been helpless yearsago and unable to take Gwendolyn with her when she left, leaving the latter to suffer under the Ashtonfamily's care.

Even now, she couldn't be reunited with her daughter.

Having overheard the family of three's conversation in the elevator earlier, Sophia felt her heart achingeven further for Gwendolyn. This is under the premise that Zachary doesn't know Gwendolyn isn't hisbiological daughter. If he had known that, I dare not imagine if Gwendolyn would've survived to thisage. Fortunately, not many people know this secret.

Gwendolyn spaced out. Happy? Perhaps I'm not fated to be happy and will never replace joy for the rest ofmy life, either.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Sophia put on her veil and went to answer the door.

Zachary stood at the doorway. When he swept his gaze across Sophia's face and noticed her eyes, hewas instantly taken aback. Her eyes are so similar to Isabella's. Very similar indeed!

Sophia turned around and was about to leave, but Zachary called after her. “What's your relationshipwith the Myers family?”
