Chapter 290 Ruin Her Reputation
Sophia's reaction was caught by Olivia and the others.
If this wasn't a guilty conscience, what else could it be?
Sophia looked around but didn't see Michael anywhere. The surprised and suspicious expression on her face didn't fade.
Was she overthinking this?
Maybe these people actually knew nothing at all.
That comment earlier might have just been a coincidence!
Sophia tried to calm herself down. When she turned back to look at the three of them, Olivia and Daniel's expressions hadn't changed at all.
Evelyn said fiercely to Sophia, "Let me tell you something, Sophia. When it comes to trash talk, I'm not afraid of you. I suggest you wise up and get lost. Stop bothering us!
Your fake act is already disgusting enough on a normal day. Now we're forced to come here for this ceremony. You know what? Just looking at your face makes me want to throw up!"
Daniel chimed in, "Yeah, it's pretty nauseating. Such an ugly, fake face. Anyone raised by you can't be any good either.
So young, yet already so hateful and vicious. I really wonder what Michael's reaction will be when he finds out the truth?"
Daniel was handsome after all, and wealthy too. His status was no less than Michael's. Being criticized like this by such a man made Sophia feel somewhat humiliated.
She really couldn't understand why both this man and that person from Harmony City in the rumors would revolve around Olivia.
Someone the Johnson family threw away like garbage, they treated like treasure, yet they cursed at Sophia like this.
Sophia was almost driven crazy. This time she couldn't hold back her anger. With a twisted expression, she lowered her voice and said, "Yes, my methods are indeed underhanded, but in the end, I won!
Now, I'm the one who became Mrs. Johnson, and my son is the Johnson family heir.
Even though he has no blood relation to the Johnson family, he can still inherit the Johnson family fortune in the future. But what about that idiot you gave birth to?
Hahaha, the entire Johnson family threw her away like trash!
When I first came back to the country, did you really think I was kind enough to find a psychologist to treat her?
That was just to suppress her!
I was just trying it out to see if it would work.
I didn't expect the effect to be even better than I imagined.
In such a short time, I made that idiot's autism much worse. Back then, Olivia, you were going crazy, weren't you?
But do you know how happy I was at that time?"
Sophia was like a crazy person.
To tear away the calm expression on Olivia's face, she didn't hesitate to expose the bad things she had done right in front of her.
"At that time, the Johnsons also decided she was useless! A worthless thing. Keeping her in the Johnson family would only bring shame. Only you still treated her like treasure!"
Olivia was indeed affected by these words, her eyes suddenly darkening.
But Sophia seemed not to notice her increasingly cold gaze and continued proudly, "Not only that, Michael really loved Aiden, so he brought him back, trying to get him to play with your idiot daughter.
I had Aiden smash that little idiot's playroom when no one was paying attention.
After you found out, you got angry and lost it, just as expected.
While you were desperately protecting her, I had Aiden put on an act.
No adult would suspect a child's words.
That's how he won Michael's affection and gradually broke down his trust in you.
Later, didn't Michael stop coming home much?
That was my doing too!
I deliberately called him out late at night and made him stay at my place. I wanted to drive a wedge between you two!
Don't you love Michael? Then I'll make you suffer and torment you! I'll also let you know that the person he loves most is me!
So, Olivia, now that you know all this, are you angry?"
Olivia's entire face was gloomy.
This woman Sophia actually had the nerve to bring up what happened back then?
Seeming to see the suppressed anger in Olivia's eyes, Aiden beside her covered his mouth and laughed, saying, "Aunt Olivia, don't blame me and my mom. After all, my grandparents only like boys.
Who told you to be so useless and only give birth to a girl, and a sick little idiot at that!
I really like Daddy Michael, but there's only one Daddy Michael. I wanted him too, and I didn't want to share him with anyone else, so I had no choice but to work with my mom to get rid of you all!
When you and that idiot left, we celebrated at home for a long time!"
Sophia was very satisfied that Aiden added fuel to the fire at this moment, but she still pretended to pat Aiden's head and stepped forward to say to Olivia, "Olivia, kids say the darndest things. As an adult, you shouldn't take it to heart."
Olivia stared at her with cold eyes.
She even had an impulse to slap her hard across the face.
As soon as this thought arose, her hand was suddenly grabbed by Sophia.
The next second, a loud slap landed on Sophia's face.
"Ah!" Sophia cried out and fell to the ground.
Olivia was stunned.
She hadn't moved at all.
It was Sophia who grabbed her hand and hit herself in the face with it.
Sophia on the ground was ready to applaud her own acting skills.
She raised her eyes and looked at Olivia provocatively.
This woman was still pretending to be calm even now.
Today she was going to provoke Olivia and make everyone turn against her!
And finally ruin her reputation!
Sophia knew, of course, that she was pregnant right now!
That's exactly why the effect she wanted would be even better.
And when she fell, she deliberately avoided her abdomen. The baby would definitely be fine.
At this moment, Aiden beside her cooperated very well and started crying dramatically, "Mom, are you okay? Does it hurt?
How could you hit someone? My mom is pregnant! How could you be so mean and try to hurt her baby?
If you're unhappy, hit me instead! Just hit me, don't hit my mom."
The sudden commotion here drew countless eyes from the venue.
The Johnsons were also alarmed.
When they saw Sophia lying on the ground, Michael's expression changed dramatically. He rushed forward quickly to help Sophia up.
He asked in a worried and anxious tone, "Sophia, are you okay?"
"Sophia!" Amelia's voice rose sharply, almost scared to death by the scene before her.
She scolded sternly, "What on earth is going on?"
The guests at the venue also wanted to know what was happening.
Just as everyone gathered over, Aiden had already rushed to Amelia, crying loudly and complaining, "Grandma, you have to stand up for Mom!
She kindly came to talk to Aunt Olivia and thank her for coming to Dad's wedding, but she was angry that Dad married Mom and said she would get rid of her baby, so she hit her and Mom fell down."
"What?"
Hearing Aiden's words, Amelia flew into a rage and immediately glared viciously at Olivia, cursing angrily, "Olivia, you bitch, how can you be so vicious?!
Sophia is already pregnant, and you actually dared to attack her. Are you crazy? You even dare to harm a Johnson family descendant?"
The guests present were shocked to hear this.
Soon, someone at the venue recognized Olivia.
"Isn't this Mr. Johnson's ex-wife?"
"Why would she come to today's engagement party?"
"The ugly scene when these two tore their relationship apart can still be found in the news. It's really unexpected that Olivia would appear here today."
"Normally, given their relationship has reached that point, anyone else would avoid it like the plague. Yet Olivia appears here. It's really suspicious."
Following one guest's comment, everyone present couldn't help but recall what Aiden had just said.
Plus, the child was scared and crying so hard, it couldn't be fake.
So everyone looked at Olivia with scrutiny.
Sophia had already been helped up by Michael. She seemed to have recovered now and was leaning in Michael's arms, looking a bit pale and weak, but still saying, "Michael, I... I'm fine. Don't blame Olivia.
She didn't hit me on purpose. I fell by accident.
I invited her here today just to apologize to her and hopefully get her forgiveness and blessing.
It's my fault. I still made her angry!"
Sophia's words seemed like an explanation.
But actually, she was guiding everyone to think that Olivia was so angry she lost her mind, which is why she hit Sophia and pushed her down.
"No matter how dirty Sophia was before, she's pregnant now. How could she do this?"
"Exactly, she even wanted to get rid of someone's baby. Olivia is so terrible!"
"I never knew she had such a vicious heart before."
Everyone looked at Olivia with some contempt.
"I used to think her situation was so pitiful. Now it seems that's not the case at all."
"No matter what, she shouldn't have gone after the child. Isn't she a doctor herself? How could she do such a thing? That's too cruel!"
"It is a bit much. What if Sophia really has a miscarriage?"
"Could it be that she's afraid Sophia's child will compete with her autistic daughter for the Johnson family inheritance?"
"That's not impossible. After all, in the Johnson family's generation of grandchildren, there's only her daughter right now."
The whispers around them all reached Michael's ears.
When he heard this, his expression was also very ugly. Immediately, he looked at Olivia harshly and demanded sternly, "Olivia, what do you have to say for yourself?"
Amelia also couldn't help but curse, "Olivia, how can you be so vicious, attacking an unborn child!"
Thinking that the grandson she had finally been waiting for almost got lost because of Olivia, she was even more furious, her eyes glaring at Olivia.
