Chapter 59 CHAPTER 59
Sonia followed Jim's gaze, and there she caught the sight of a stunning woman walking inside the hall. The woman had a unique kind of beauty, which reminded her of a fairy from the snow mountain. She had skin as fair as snow, and with angelic eyes that were both striking and elegant.
When she left Dragon City, Alice was already eleven years old. Despite her face maturing throughout the years, Sonia quickly recognized her from the first sight because of her distinctive features.
Alice was different from her in both appearance and character. Sonia inherited her looks from her mother, while Alice definitely looked more like her father. Alice had been labeled as the most beautiful woman in Dragon City. People were amazed by her charisma and her air of mysteriousness. In fact, most men were completely captivated by her bewitching smile.
Her beauty relied on her estranged nature, which came with a frosty coldness. She looked like she could have come from a beautiful painting; delicate as a rose and beautiful as the rosy clouds. Sonia, on the other hand had a beauty that was incredibly immaculate. She had a pure spirit like fresh morning dew and would remind you of an extraordinary flower that would catch your eye in a field. She was completely unpretentious, natural and innocent.
There was an eight year old boy who was following her from behind. He was also an attractive little boy and looked like a little elf following her.
"Who is that boy?" Sonia asked curiously.
"That is Alice's youngest brother," replied Jim.
Sonia was a little bit surprised to hear this. By the time she left, she remembered that Elizabeth had a daughter, Valery, and a boy named Vinton. She curiously wondered if she had born another child after that.
"Does he share the same mother as Valery?" she asked discreetly.
"No, he comes from a different mother. They come from a complicated family. There is so much drama, it is totally possible to shoot them for a soap opera on TV," Jim said mockingly with a soft sigh.
"Don't you come from a complicated family as well?" she asked. "Our family is far more ordinary in comparison. The rich seem to fight amongst each other and cheat on your own flesh and blood. You guys seem to be constantly surrounded by scandals," Sonia said in a joking manner.
A strange smile appeared on Jim's face before he asked, "Then why did you marry Daniel, of all people?"
"Because..." Sonia quickly stopped her tongue and realized that she had almost spilled the truth about them two getting married because of a drunken night. She rolled her eyes and looked away, quickly trying to figure out another reason before she eventually said, "When I met him, I thought he was a simple, poor man."
Jim laughed as he choked and said, "What a strange reason to get married to someone!" Before he could finish speaking, a chilly and cold aura suddenly emanated from Daniel. Jim just pretended to act silly while he lowered his head to have a sip from his drink.
Not far away.
Alice walked around gracefully with beautiful eyes sweeping across the hall when she paused to look at Daniel's side. To be exact, it was Sonia who had caught her attention. When Elizabeth arrived back home, she hadn't mentioned anything about Daniel's marriage to another woman. Alice received the news about Daniel's marriage from her youngest brother, Holy. Apparently, Holy was classmates with Daniel's cousin, Goel and they were very close friends. When Goel heard of the exciting news, he immediately called Holy to tell him that Daniel had dumped Valery triumphantly.
"Sister Alice, let's go and greet them," Holy said as he looked at his sister lovingly.
Alice nodded. She had eyes that were cold as ice and were only filled with warmth the moment she looked at her little brother.
When Sonia noticed them walking towards them, her heart began to tremble and nervousness and anxiety appeared all over her face. She cowered unconsciously and hid in Daniel's shadow.
It was an enjoyable show, unfortunately, it did not end with romance. However, she better not act too well as there was a child just beside them.
Daniel took a sip from his champagne before he opened his mouth and said, "He has been dominating the screen for months. He is all over the TV, it's almost insane. Haven't you gotten sick of him yet?"
Sonia had a cold stone expression on her face.
'Ice guy, does your father know that you could be so mean?' she thought.
Jim was completely dumbfounded that he was being attacked despite not being involved with their squabble.
Sitting next to him, Holy couldn't resist butting in and added, "Jim is just doing business for the family. His fans often lick their TV and phone screens that they end up having to buy a new one from them."
Sonia smiled and gave a thumbs up. "You're a clever little boy, Holy," she said.
Daniel reached towards Jim to pat his shoulder to show sympathy. Jim was left completely speechless so he decided to protect himself by building a wall around him and just be the quiet and mysterious handsome man.
With an optimistic smile on her face, Alice inserted, "Well it seems like you two have a good relationship with each other. I hope it works out well for the two of you, as I don't want some toxic people try to tear you apart."
Holy nodded quickly in agreement and he said, "Yes, brother Daniel and sister Sonia, you must make sure to defeat the daughter of the evil witch."
When the issue was brought up in her mind, Sonia silently sighed. There was an unborn baby that backed up Valery and her mother-in-law's support. It would be difficult to simply defeat her.
Daniel always seemed to see right through her. He held her in his arms and said, "There's nothing to worry about. I'll always be here by your side." His voice was comforting, but Sonia's heart continued to feel restless and worried. If the child weren't his, then things could just go on so smoothly. However, things would be so different if the child was really his, and he would forever be intertwined with Valery and her mother. It seemed to reflect the similar situation of how Baron had been stuck with Elizabeth. However, Sonia figured that she could just hand this complicated problem to Leila. She was a tough woman, and she could spend the rest of her life fighting over him with Valery.
Sonia excused herself to go to the dressing room. She just wanted some time alone to calm her thoughts down, but was surprised to find Leila when she walked inside.
It turned out that she had been there in the same party all along.
However, she wondered why she never bothered to greet Daniel.
Hatred was obvious in Leila's eyes when she saw her.
She had been here for a long time. She had been hiding in a corner, staring at them and at Daniel.
She wanted to go, but she didn't have the courage. She couldn't face the fact that he was married and she was also afraid that he would find out that she was the one who had leaked the information to Valery. If he knew, he would drive her out of his world forever. He wouldn't forgive her cheating and betrayal.
Sonia knew what she should do and what she shouldn't.
Valery was a capable woman, and Leila was not inferior to her. If they cooperated together, her chances of winning would be very small.
She couldn't allow this to happen. She must win over Leila.
"You must want to know why he married me, right?" She whispered when she saw there was no one else in the dressing room.
"What do you want to say?" Leila frowned.
"This is not a good place to talk. Let's have a talk outside." Sonia walked outside, followed by Leila. She was eager to know the reason.
They sat at a dark corner on the curtains.
Sonia took another two cups of cocktail and handed one to Leila.
"We got married just for one thing: to drive away Valery!" She said slowly and clearly, "now I'm in the position of his lawful personnel. As long as I don't divorce him, it's impossible for him to marry Valery! You think he treats me well and takes good care of me, because he needs me and only I can play this role. "
A violent palpitation came over Leila. She remembered that Daniel had told her that he had already figured out a way to deal with Valery. Was it a way out to marry Sonia?
"Why are you the only one who can make it?
"Women all like men like him who are from a rich family? If this woman falls in love with him, he would get more troubles? What's the difference to marry Valery? But I won't love him. I love someone else. I won't love anyone else. " Her tone was firm, and she couldn't make Leila doubt it. Moreover, what she said was true.
"What good is it for you?" Leila raised her eyebrows, not as malicious as before.
"I want him to help me become famous. Can't you see that I am the biggest winner in the show of Beauty on Overpass? As long as I become famous, my family will accept me. " After saying that, Sonia took another sip of the cocktail.
"Why did you tell me about it?" Leila stared at her for a moment, afraid that she was lying to her. But Sonia looked calm, and her face did not go red. She didn't feel anything wrong. She was relieved. After all, from the bottom of her heart, she hoped that all this was true.
"He loves you. He did all these for you. You are supposed to be the one who will marry him. Unfortunately, though you are a woman of noble birth, you will only be turned into a scum by Valery when you marry him. " After a pause, she took a sip of wine and continued, "he can't tell you this plan. The fewer people knows, the better. Otherwise, all his efforts will be wasted.
