Chapter 189
Even though Chase was crying and whining here, Anais knew very well what kind of person he really was in daily life.
Although Anais seemed to be peacefully staying at the Smith Manor accompanying Aiden, she actually knew everything about everyone in the Smith family.
Otherwise, how could she have firmly secured her position as the lady of the house in such a large family as the Smiths?
And she knew very clearly that James was the youngest of Aiden's nine sons. Although James was very scheming and smart,
Anais had always been on guard against the other brothers in the Smith family, worried that they might secretly harm James.
In outsiders' eyes, the Smith family was a big family, and a place many women wanted to marry into.
But only the Smiths themselves knew that in such a large family, scheming and conflicts happened all the time.
Chase was extremely emotional, and as he talked, he actually started crying.
"Grandpa, you have to stand up for me. I was still naively waiting to marry Sophia and give you a great-grandchild soon."
"I never expected that this bitch would betray me. But Grandpa, believe me, if Sophia can betray me, she can betray Uncle James in the future too."
"Uncle James is just bewitched by her right now. When he comes to his senses later, who knows how badly Sophia will have tricked him?"
Chase had been crying and whining since he walked in.
Aiden had a tough personality and didn't like it when his children and grandchildren were too soft or weak.
When something happened, just deal with it properly. Coming in and crying before even explaining things clearly was really annoying.
"Chase, I think you need to face reality. Although Sophia was engaged to you before, I don't think there were any real feelings between you two. If there really were feelings, how could Sophia be with James?"
As far as Aiden was concerned, both Chase and James were his Smith family members, not outsiders at all. He didn't think that if Sophia had the chance to marry into the Smith family, she would insist on switching to a different person.
There must be some problem here.
Hearing this, Chase froze for a moment, feeling a bit guilty.
Could it be that Aiden had actually seen his private life? But every time he met with Veda, he did it behind people's backs. How could the Smith family have found out?
"Grandpa, how can you say that? I'm your grandson. Besides, Sophia and I have been engaged for so long. To say there are no feelings would definitely be a lie."
"And even if my feelings for Sophia haven't reached the level of life and death, she's still my fiancée. Without me knowing anything, she suddenly married Uncle James. Isn't that betrayal?"
"Grandpa, how can you let Uncle James accept such a fickle woman? Besides, a nephew's wife marrying the uncle? That doesn't make sense either. Sophia has completely embarrassed our Smith family. How can Uncle James and I face people in the future?"
Chase looked furious at this moment, talking while observing Aiden's expression. Actually, he hadn't wanted to come and make trouble today, but because Veda had pressured him, he had no choice.
He was really afraid that this whole thing would anger James, and then he'd have a hard time in the Smith family in the future.
Aiden had a cold expression on his face.
"Although you and Sophia were engaged, I haven't seen you bring Sophia home all this time. Besides, I heard from your mother before that you didn't like Sophia at all. How come you're so madly in love now?"
Hearing this, Chase froze slightly, not knowing what to say.
"Grandpa, I just feel that Sophia is deliberately trying to drive a wedge between Uncle James and me. Think about it, a woman who was engaged to me suddenly married Uncle James. If word gets out, the Smith family's reputation will be ruined."
Hearing this, Anais felt it was very unfair. She walked forward two steps and was about to speak when James and Sophia walked in from outside.
Sophia walked in and looked at Chase coldly, directly questioning him: "Chase, I really didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Chase heard the voice and turned to look. Seeing James's tall figure standing behind Sophia, he was startled.
He didn't respond to Sophia's words, but nervously greeted James.
"Uncle James."
James glanced at him without responding at all, and directly sat down next to Aiden.
"Chase, you saw that James and I got our marriage certificate. What are you doing running here? Don't tell me you want to complain?"
Sophia was furious. She knew Chase would definitely come to make trouble.
Chase snorted coldly.
"What do you think I'm here for? You're my fiancée, and now you've inexplicably married Uncle James. Shouldn't I ask for an explanation?"
Sophia found it ridiculous.
"Chase, are you okay? You still know I'm your fiancée? Since you know I'm your fiancée, why have you been messing around with Veda all this time?"
"Besides, I caught you and Veda in bed together. What else is there to say? Do you want me to bring out the evidence and show it to Mr. Smith and Mrs. Smith?"
Hearing this, Chase's face turned pale. He never expected that Sophia would say this in front of Aiden and Anais. Was she deliberately trying to make things difficult for him?
"Sophia, how can you say that? You and I are engaged. The whole Emerald City knows about it. It's just that I'm a low-key person and don't like to make a big deal, so I didn't announce it in the Smith family."
"But I never expected that you would take advantage of this gap. When I still didn't know what was going on, you went and got together with Uncle James."
Chase had been angry at first, but as he talked, he became more and more aggrieved, as if Sophia was some kind of terrible sinner.
"How could you do such a thing? Even if you didn't want to be with me anymore, you shouldn't be with Uncle James. How can the two of us face people after this?"
Sophia was a bit angry. This Chase really knew how to play the victim, making himself sound so wronged, as if she was the criminal.
