Chapter 237 Call Me Uncle
"Just a few days locked up, she got off way too easy!" Hannah clenched her fists, feeling like all her anger had nowhere to go.
Steven also chimed in through gritted teeth, "The Smith family is absolutely terrible!"
"Tomorrow I'm meeting Tyrell for a magazine cover shoot. I'll go talk to him first."
No matter what the Smith family's attitude was, she definitely wouldn't let this go easily.
The video of Isabella hurting people was still circulating online. The evidence was solid—they couldn't deny it.
"Do you need our help? Though... I guess we probably can't help much anyway." Hannah regretted it the moment she said it.
Her family had some money, but there was no way they could compare to the White family.
Sophia smiled and shook her head. "No need, I can handle it myself."
Early the next morning, Sophia was dropped off at StarVibe Entertainment by Benjamin.
Sean was waiting for her at the entrance. As soon as he saw her, he leaned in and whispered, "He's already here, waiting inside."
"This early?" Sophia asked in surprise.
When they got to the photo studio, Sophia saw a young man sitting inside.
He was tall and well-built with striking features and a signature beauty mark at the corner of his eye that added a touch of sexiness.
His features resembled Sophia's somewhat.
At that moment, he was sitting casually on the sofa, legs crossed lazily, wearing a white suit with his tie loosely done, looking quite the charmer.
He seemed carefree without being sleazy, attracting many female employees to come watch.
But he didn't seem to notice them at all, his eyelashes lowered slightly as he played with his phone.
The moment Sophia walked in, he seemed to sense it and suddenly looked up, his gaze landing on her.
A flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but it was only for an instant before he quickly returned to normal.
The moment she saw him, Sophia finally confirmed that the Smith family did indeed have some family connection with Olivia.
Because Olivia and Tyrell looked incredibly alike, especially their eyes—like they were carved from the same mold.
The only difference was that Tyrell's every gesture exuded nobility, his elegant and distinguished air impossible to look away from.
While Olivia had excellent features, she couldn't hide the harshness in her eyes.
Tyrell stood up from the sofa and slowly walked toward Sophia, a casual smile playing at his lips.
Charming but not frivolous.
Looking at him, Sophia felt no aversion at all. Instead, she felt a sense of warmth.
She furrowed her brow slightly and extended her hand toward Tyrell. "Mr. Smith, hello. I'm Sophia."
"Wrong." Tyrell put one hand in his pocket and looked down at Sophia, his eyes also carrying a hint of assessment.
He had only seen this young woman in photos before.
With just one glance, he was certain—she was the daughter the Brown family had lost.
Look at that—Sophia's face had inherited all his best features.
Tyrell touched the beauty mark under his left eye, feeling a bit regretful.
Sophia was so beautiful—if she had a beauty mark too, she'd be truly unmatched.
"What's wrong?" Sophia blinked in confusion, looking puzzled.
Tyrell caught her head-tilting gesture, keeping his face expressionless while his heart was already in turmoil.
Sophia was too cute!
That little head tilt was too adorable—how could there be such a cute girl!
Being stared at so openly by Tyrell made Sophia uncomfortable. She frowned, thinking she'd said something wrong.
Just as she was about to say something else, Tyrell snapped out of it, cleared his throat, and put on a mysterious look. "You got the title wrong. What's with this 'Mr. Smith'? Call me uncle!"
Sophia: ?
Sean and the watching employees: ?
Sophia almost choked on her own saliva. "You want me to call you what?"
"Uncle." Tyrell slapped his forehead, suddenly realizing. "Didn't your mother tell you that you have two uncles? I'm your younger uncle. Your older uncle will come over when he's done with work."
So hurry up and call me uncle!
He couldn't wait any longer!
No, he had to record this on his phone so he could show off to Xander Smith later.
Sophia's first "uncle" would be to him!
Sophia rubbed her forehead helplessly. Before coming, she thought she'd be facing someone very difficult to deal with.
But who could tell her who this man was, grinning from ear to ear?
She thought it necessary to make things clear. "Mr. Smith, you might not know, but I've already cut ties with the Brown family."
She expected to be met with the same mocking looks as from the Brown family, but unexpectedly, Tyrell slapped his thigh excitedly. "Really? That's absolutely wonderful!"
Sophia: ?
Tyrell hadn't expected this trip to come with a bonus surprise.
He snorted coldly, not hiding his dissatisfaction with the Brown family at all. "You probably don't know about what happened in the previous generation, right? Your mom, Olivia Smith, cut ties with the Smith family long ago."
Sophia said nothing. Sean had mentioned it yesterday, but she hadn't paid much attention to it then.
She had thought it was just a rumor, but it turned out to be true.
Mentioning Olivia, Tyrell's eyes filled with disgust. "Back then, she did everything for Hayden, even stealing confidential documents from the Smith Group, nearly destroying the Smith family's century-old legacy. Afterward, she acted all righteous about it, thinking she hadn't caused much damage to the Smith family, completely unrepentant. But she never considered that if Dad and Grandpa hadn't turned things around, the entire Smith family would have been destroyed by her!"
Sophia knew Olivia had devoted herself entirely to the Brown family, but she hadn't imagined her love for Hayden ran so deep that she'd disregard her own family's interests.
But none of this really concerned her.
Tyrell concluded, "Anyway, for the past twenty-some years, she hasn't contacted us, and the Smith family has treated her as if she doesn't exist. You were right to cut ties with them. I warned her long ago that Hayden wasn't worth spending a lifetime with, but she wouldn't listen."
Before, Olivia had been the family's precious daughter, showered with love, but who would have thought she'd fall for some poor guy.
Don't think he didn't know—Hayden only got together with Olivia back then because he was after the Smith family's wealth and power.
After hearing Tyrell's words, Sophia felt somewhat surprised. "Don't you think what I did was disrespectful?"
That's what everyone in the Brown family said.
