Chapter 238
Ignoring the gossip around her, Sophia kept slapping without stopping.
In the end, Mia was even knocked unconscious.
As the drama came to an end, Sophia took responsibility and sent Mia straight to the hospital.
When Michael got the news, it was already half an hour later. He had just finished a meeting, but when he saw the information his assistant sent over, he was completely stunned.
In his opinion, although Sophia was lively and cheerful with a good personality, she wasn't someone who caused trouble.
It seemed that when things happened, she would instinctively dodge and avoid them.
Not to mention anything else, just look at their relationship. If it were any other woman, she should have been bolder, completely won him over, then had a child. Even if she couldn't have children, she could still get plenty of benefits.
But Sophia was completely different from others. She probably never thought about getting benefits and had actually avoided him several times.
You could tell that Sophia was really worried about attracting unnecessary trouble.
From this, it was clear that unless she was pushed to the edge, she would never do such things.
That's exactly why it made his heart ache even more.
So what would happen next?
Worried that Sophia would be at a disadvantage at the hospital, Michael rushed over without stopping.
In the hospital room.
Mia's entire face was covered in red, swollen wounds, looking terrible.
Although her face was wrapped in gauze now, you could tell at a glance that it was shocking to see.
Sophia wasn't in a hurry, just quietly waiting for Mia's family to come over.
But what surprised Sophia was that only one person came - Mia's grandfather, Wesley.
Because their family ran a family business, Wesley's photo often appeared in the news. Although Sophia had never met him, she had seen many photos.
So she recognized him right away.
And Wesley naturally knew who Sophia was, too. After just one glance, he showed a disgusted expression, like he was looking at trash, not worth wasting time on.
Wesley walked into the room with his cane. Seeing Mia in this state, not only did he show no sympathy, but he coldly scolded her.
"You useless thing, a rich young lady actually got beaten like this by some lowlife. Don't you know how to fight back? Besides, even if you didn't want to do it yourself, there are plenty of ways to strike back. How could you let yourself get beaten like this?"
In Wesley's view, Mia should have used every means to pressure Sophia until she couldn't breathe and made her back off on her own.
Who would have thought Mia would get beaten like this?
So much money spent, so many tactics used, and yet nothing to show for it.
Wesley's disgust was completely undisguised.
Even the way he looked at Mia carried disappointment, as if he was about to give up on her.
Mia cried even harder. "Grandpa, look clearly. I've been beaten like this. Even though the doctor said there won't be scars, I was beaten and I feel wronged. Don't you want to comfort me at all?"
"Or is it that in your eyes, I only have one value, which is to marry for alliance and bring you benefits? Whether it's mom and dad or you, don't any of you care if I'm sad inside?"
It had been an hour since she was beaten.
Only Wesley came from the family.
Mom and Dad said they still had to go abroad for business. They just said they knew about it when they answered the phone, then got on the plane to go abroad.
At this moment, Mia really wondered if she was their biological child.
Did she only have use value?
If one day she lost all her use value, would she be treated like trash?
Obviously, Wesley quickly gave her the answer.
"Shut up. As a child of our family, I taught you all many years ago that our family doesn't support idle people. If someone has no value at all, they'll be kicked out of the house like trash, not worthy of staying in the family."
Every word was like a knife being shot at her.
Mia's tears streamed down her face.
Sophia couldn't help but feel some sympathy at this point.
Of course, it was just sympathy.
Pitiful people must have hateful aspects. Over the years, Mia had bullied countless people, relying on being a rich young lady.
From this, you could see that while she was pitiful, she was more hateful.
In short, such a person wasn't worth it.
Mia's eyes were full of tears, crying uncontrollably.
Wesley frowned, even more dissatisfied. "Shut up, stop crying. What's there to cry about? If you have the ability, hit back. Remember this - we won't stand up for you in this matter. If you have the ability, solve it yourself."
Finally, he even let out a deep sigh.
"Everything has to wait until after you and Michael get married. As for what you want to do after that, we'll fully support you. But I'll say it again - only useful people deserve to be children of our family."
Wesley dropped that line and walked to the door, looking at Sophia with a cold laugh.
"I've met countless women like you in my life. You want to marry into a wealthy family, right? Be careful you don't end up destroyed."
"Are you sure I'll be completely destroyed and not living the good life every day? Of course, if you want to do something to me, go ahead. Anyway, I only have one life now. I'd like to see who loses out in the end."
After being forced into marriage, Sophia discovered that kindness couldn't solve problems.
You had to be ruthless.
Do not give them any chance to catch their breath.
Sophia directly showed Wesley the group messages. "Look clearly. Now, everyone knows about Mia scheming against me. Of course, if you want to make a move against me, I'll release this stuff to the media. Guess what the media will do?"
"You think you can scheme against me on your own?"
"Wrong. It's not on your own. Haven't you heard the saying - the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Your family is indeed capable, but you've also offended many people along the way, right? What do you think will happen if I pass this information to your competitors?"
In this world, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies, only permanent interests.
Sophia knew very well that although Wesley seemed to have smooth sailing over the years, he had also offended many people. The list of those people was already sitting in her email inbox.
If Wesley did anything, she would send all that information out.
Of course, all this was also under Michael's guidance.
She was grateful for that.
Wesley took another look at Sophia in front of him, and his face showed some appreciation.
"What a shame. A child like you was born into that kind of family. If you were my granddaughter, I believe you would definitely be the best choice for a marriage alliance."
Even though Wesley disliked Sophia, he had to admit that Sophia was more suitable to be a child of a wealthy family.
Because her heart was ruthless enough, and she was decisive enough in her actions.
