Chapter 36: Chapter 36: The Chambermaid
"Do you have... relations with him?"
Evelyn Curtis impatiently wanted to clarify.
Relations?
Sophie Allen paused for a moment, then she understood.
Evelyn Curtis was referring to the intimate relationship.
"Of course not." Sophie Allen wasn’t sure why Evelyn Curtis would suddenly ask this, and immediately denied it.
She felt a little anxious as there was quite a distance from the Riley Group to the Tedriodal Mall, and she didn’t want to be late.
Today, she would clear things up with Wendy Matthews.
"Evelyn, I have something important to discuss with Auntie Wendy. Let’s agree to talk soon."
Just then, a taxi stopped by the side of the road. Sophie Allen hastily hailed it.
After saying a quick goodbye to Evelyn Curtis, she got into the taxi and left.
Evelyn Curtis watched the taxi fade in the distance, still feeling uneasy.
Moreover, she felt that Sophie Allen had merely been placating her, without providing any specific details.
That won’t do!
She must verify once more with Justin Battleson.
...
Sophie Allen sat in the backseat of a taxi, feeling heavy-headed.
These past few days, she had hardly slept a wink, her body screaming out in exhaustion.
Looking out of the window, she found a brief moment of respite that made her feel better.
However...
Sophie Allen quickly recovered her focus, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly.
She forgot to ask, why was Evelyn Curtis at the Riley Group?
Also, when Evelyn Curtis asked about her relationship with Justin, why did it sound like the name she said was-
Justin Battleson?
Was she hallucinating?
[Charlotte, is your relationship with Justin Battleson truly just about trading perfumes?]
It should be Justin, right!
She must be so tired that she mistook the word "truly" for "Battleson".
Sophie Allen shook her head, not overthinking things. She took a chance to rest during the ride.
When she arrived at the café, she saw Wendy Matthews the moment she walked in.
Wendy Matthews was sitting by the bed, dressed in a lavender linen dress, with a jade necklace around her neck, the very image of refined and elegant.
Sophie Allen, her fair and straight legs moved towards her.
"Auntie Wendy." She came over to Wendy Matthews, nodded slightly, and greeted her.
"Sit." Wendy Matthews’ expression sunk, she didn’t even look directly at Sophie Allen.
Sophie Allen knew that after the drama with Ryan Richard, Wendy Matthews must have significant complaints about her.
"Auntie Wendy, thank you very much for your care over the past two years." She sat across from Wendy Matthews, expressing her gratitude.
The very next second, her face felt cold.
Wendy Matthews threw the water from her cup all over her face.
"Sophie Allen, you are a shameless woman! You can’t keep Ryan and you think of all ways to harm him, and almost made him lose his abilities. If anything happened to Ryan, I won’t let you go!"
Wendy Matthews glared at her, teeth clenched as she angrily reproached.
Sophie Allen initially planned to be polite.
Her face sunk and her voice was full of chill: "Auntie Wendy, did you know that Ryan Richard deceived me and used me to help the Richard Corporation?"
Sophie Allen came to clear up this matter.
"Hehehe..." As if she’d heard a funny joke, Wendy Matthews laughed coldly.
She spoke disdainfully, "Sophie Allen, to be honest, you are nothing. You are poor and have no background, yet, you dream of living the high life."
"Initially, I never agreed to your relationship. Weren’t you happy being Ryan’s official girlfriend for two years?"
"You should be thankful that you inherited your mother Sophia Thompson’s excellent talents in perfume creation, otherwise..."
"You would only be suitable to be Ryan’s concubine!"
