Sophia felt a mix of anger and anxiety. It had been four days since she kicked out that idiot Roger, and he still hadn't returned to see her. Adding to her frustration, she found out that the medical bill hadn't been paid-the hospital was now threatening to call the police if it

wasn't settled soon.

"This has to be a joke! You kill your own child and now you abandon me?" She fumed, waiting for Roger to answer her call. "Damn it, pick up!"

"I told you not to push him too hard," her friend mocked from beside her, flipping through a magazine.

"Shut up. He loves me and owes me his life and eternal gratitude."

"Doubtful. Maybe he's not coming to see you because his mom already told him the truth about your lie."

Sophia hung up after the tenth unanswered call, gripped the phone tightly, and snapped at her friend, "You know, I didn't ask for your opinion."

"Why don't you just use some of the money you stole from him and pay it off?" Sophia's friend asked.

"Why don't you pay my hospital bill?"

"And... why would I do that? You've never helped me like that."

Sophia scowled, knowing it was true, but she was still angry that her friend wouldn't help her. "I don't have

any money."

"God... you're unbelievable," her friend laughed. "Let me guess, you spent them all like a queen without saving anything for emergencies, right?" She noticed her words made Sophia even angrier. "You're such an idiot." "Shut your mouth," Sophia demanded.

"Well, since I've hit the nail on the head and you're already hysterical," her friend said as she stood up and straightened her clothes, "I'm going to leave because I have important things to do. So, goodbye."

"What? Wait, you're not going to..." Sophia started, but her friend ignored her and left without looking back. "Idiot... now what do I do?" Sophia muttered, realizing that George had something to do with the unpaid medical bills. Now that she knew who was to blame, she had to think of a way out. She was in a serious dilemma, but her thoughts were interrupted by her phone's ringtone. Checking it, she noticed an interesting notification. "Oh right, I have the twins in my grasp," Sophia mused, looking at news notifications about the Andersons still causing a big fuss-they must be making money from selling those interviews.

Since the Andersons had money, it was time for them to help her as payment for their previous failure. After a call and a bit of drama, she only had to wait an hour before she was allowed to leave with the bill paid. She felt a bit guilty for deceiving them, as she didn't know how to help them gain access to the main Anderson family fortune, but she loved making people do what she wanted.

Once she was out, she headed straight to see Roger to confront him about abandoning her. However, when she arrived at the building, she saw a sign that the apartment was available for sale or rent.

"Impossible..." She ran quickly to catch the elevator.

He couldn't have been thrown out. And even if he had been, where did her things go? She had many high-end items that she didn't want to lose.

When the elevator doors opened, she saw Roger standing at the door, talking to some workers.

"Everything's loaded on the truck, sir," one of them informed Roger.

"Perfect, take it to the agreed address and-" Roger began, shaking the worker's hand.

"Roger..." Sophia interrupted, approaching him, but she noticed he ignored her.

"Please, go ahead," Roger instructed the worker before turning to Sophia. "I see you're out of the hospital."

"Roger, what does this mean?"

"Exactly what it looks like. I'm moving my things to my new home."

"Why? That guy gave up trying to kick you out and-"

"And how do you know that?" Roger asked, frowning.

"What?" Sophia looked confused.

"Sophia, how do you know I wasn't kicked out of the apartment? I never told you that."

"Ah..." Sophia realized her slip-up. "Honey, what are you talking about? You mentioned it to me, silly. Don't you remember?"

"Hm... well," Roger made a face, noticing her obvious lie. "Regardless, I'm not staying in this place full of gossiping neighbors anymore. So, I'm moving to a new house."
