Chapter 250

"Sophia, are you really willing to buy them?"

Sophia nodded slightly, "Of course. You should know I can afford it now. I happen to need them, and you happen to be selling. Why not? It's just what we both need."

Hearing this, a hint of smugness flashed in Veda's eyes.

"You're right. It's just what we both need. Buying from me is definitely much cheaper than the boutique, and my clothes are still very new."

Hearing this, Sophia pretended to step forward and take a look, "Let me see what brands these clothes are."

After Sophia pretended to look them over, she put on a troubled expression.

"Veda, I can't really wear these clothes out. They show so much skin—arms and legs. Isn't that a bit too revealing?"

When Sophia said this, there was a hint of mockery in her tone.

But Veda couldn't care about that now. All she knew was that if she didn't find a way to get money, Hayden would definitely beat her again tonight.

Her old injuries hadn't healed yet, and now she had many new ones. If she couldn't take good care of Hayden, he could easily beat her to death.

So right now, her dignity in front of Sophia really wasn't as important as her life.

"How could that be? Look carefully—these pieces can definitely be worn out. They're not revealing at all. If you think they're too revealing, I can give you a discount."

"I bought this piece for one hundred thousand dollars, but now you only need to give me fifty thousand."

Hearing Veda say this, Evelyn immediately laughed coldly.

"Veda, you have some nerve. You want fifty thousand dollars for used clothes? If I'm not wrong, when you just went to the consignment shop, they wouldn't even take them, right?"

Veda was furious.

"Evelyn, what's your problem? You've been butting into our business from start to finish. Don't you think you're the outsider here?"

Evelyn wanted to rush up and argue with her, but after taking two steps forward, Sophia grabbed her wrist directly, looking calm, then looked at Veda.

"Veda, I definitely can't pay fifty thousand dollars for these clothes, and I don't really like this piece anyway. I'm just taking pity on you. How about I make an offer, and if you think it's acceptable, we'll make the deal."

Veda's face turned pale. When she heard Sophia say she pitied her, she wanted to die. Usually, she was the one acting superior and showing off in front of Sophia.

Now she had to watch her expression, but there was no choice—she desperately needed money. Although these clothes were very expensive, she no longer had suitable occasions to wear them, so they were no different from garbage.

"Fine, Sophia, make your offer."

When Veda said this, she had a feeling of facing death bravely. She thought that since she desperately needed money, no matter how much Sophia offered, she would sell.

After all, if she took this dress back, it would just sit at the bottom of her closet.

At this moment, Sophia standing across from her couldn't help but smile thinking about what she was about to say.

"I think your clothes are only worth the fabric, and there's so little fabric used. I'll reluctantly give you five dollars."

As soon as she finished speaking, Evelyn burst out laughing.

Veda's face immediately turned red—she felt utterly humiliated.

"Sophia, how dare you play me? Five dollars? Are you treating me like a beggar?"

Sophia raised her eyebrows with a confident look, "You are a beggar in front of me now. You're absolutely right—I am treating you like a beggar."

Veda held her breath and raised her hand to slap Sophia's face, but the next second her wrist was caught by Evelyn.

Evelyn forcefully threw her aside, and Veda stumbled and fell to the ground.

"Veda, who gave you the nerve to try to hit us? Look at yourself now—you still dare to fight us?"

After Evelyn said this, Sophia stepped forward, "Veda, from now on, live quietly in Emerald City and don't provoke me anymore. Otherwise, I'll really make you suffer."

After saying this, Sophia and Evelyn turned and left the mall.

Veda stared hard at Sophia's back, grinding her teeth in anger.

"Sophia, you just wait. I will never let you go. I'll drag you down with me."

Sophia and Evelyn walked out of the mall feeling satisfied, and Evelyn smiled proudly.

"That felt so good! I never thought Veda would have a day like this. Seeing her angry but unable to argue back—I'm so happy."

Sophia also found it amusing.

"Yeah, I never thought Veda would be this miserable. Trying to sell her used clothes—looks like the Brown family is really desperate and out of money."

"But there's nothing to pity. They deserve it. Just thinking about Hazel being locked up in prison from now on makes me want to laugh in my sleep."

The two chatted and laughed as they left the mall.

In the blink of an eye, a week had passed, and Anais and Aiden had almost finished arranging the wedding.

That evening, James carried Sophia into the bedroom and said softly, "Sophia, Mom and Dad have almost finished arranging our wedding. It's set for next Monday."

Sophia's face turned slightly red, and she spoke somewhat awkwardly, "Your parents are so good to us. I feel like we haven't done anything for our wedding—they're handling everything. I feel a bit embarrassed."

James affectionately touched the tip of Sophia's nose, "What's there to be embarrassed about? When you marry me, you're their daughter. It's natural for parents to handle things for their children. On the wedding day, we just need to show up in our wedding dress and suit."

Sophia nodded hard, her lips pressed together and cheeks flushed. She never thought her happiness would come so quickly.

Before, she felt that besides Mia, no one loved her, but now Sophia felt like all the happiness in the world surrounded her.

"James, I feel so happy now. If I had known marrying you would make me this happy, I wouldn't have refused you over and over again."

James curved his lips and smiled proudly.
