Chapter 394 Sophia, I Hate You!
Celestia was fuming. How could there be such a shameless woman?
Who cares about those people's gratitude?
She was a young lady of the White family - why should she test medicine for those people?
"Sophia, what exactly are you trying to do?"
Sophia raised her eyebrows slightly. "Nothing really. I just wanted to remind you that you're an internet celebrity now. Better watch your image."
"You!"
Celestia was so angry she gritted her teeth, wishing she could tear apart Sophia's smiling, fake face.
Sophia chuckled softly and leaned closer to her. "If you come after me again, I'll release the recording and let everyone see what the White family's young lady is really like behind closed doors."
She'd always believed in leaving people alone if they left her alone.
In the past, she might have let it go.
But now, she had more important things to do and couldn't waste energy on Celestia.
She didn't want her causing trouble anymore.
Celestia was intimidated by her cold stare and instinctively shrank back, her eyes full of fear.
When she came to her senses and realized Sophia had actually scared her, she shot back unwillingly, "You... aren't you afraid Grandpa will be angry? I'm his favorite granddaughter."
"So you do know how much Grandpa loves you? Yet you still said those things that broke his heart."
Sophia lowered her eyes, looking at Celestia with disappointment.
She slowly shook her head, left only a "take care of yourself," and turned to leave the hospital room.
"Sophia!"
Celestia hurriedly called out to stop her.
Sophia paused and turned back toward the bed. "Something else?"
Celestia pressed her lips together and shouted at her, "Sophia, I hate you, I really really hate you!"
Sophia: "Got it."
Celestia: "...What kind of attitude is that? Are you looking down on me?"
"Think whatever you want."
Someone who wasn't important to her at all - their likes and dislikes didn't matter either.
She wasn't looking down on Celestia, she just didn't care.
Celestia bit her teeth secretly. "Your sister was right - you really are the most annoying person in the world!"
"Sister?" Sophia looked at her, puzzled.
Where did she get a sister?
Seeing that her words had caught Sophia's attention, Celestia lifted her chin proudly.
"Isabella! You don't know yet, do you? She came to see me."
Sophia nodded calmly.
Celestia, who had been holding back a bunch of things waiting for her to ask: "...Why aren't you asking what she said to me?"
Sophia smiled. "Nothing good can come from you two getting together. Please don't tell me - I really don't want to know."
Celestia: "I'm going to tell you anyway! Isabella gave me a bottle of medicine and told me to find a chance to make you drink it."
She didn't believe that when it came to her own safety, Sophia really wouldn't be interested at all.
Sure enough, the next second, Sophia asked her, "What medicine?"
Celestia hummed proudly and had Arabella bring over her bag.
She took out two bottles of medicine from the bag and waved them in front of Sophia.
"Supposedly some kind of knockout drug. Once you were knocked out, she'd send someone to take you away."
Sophia's gaze fell on the medicine bottles in Celestia's hand, her expression unreadable. "Why are you telling me all this? Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you?"
Celestia sneered. "I may not like you, but I wouldn't stoop to using methods like that."
In her eyes, though Sophia was annoying, she was definitely not comparable to someone as low as Isabella.
Sophia looked at Celestia with surprise, as if seeing her for the first time.
More precisely, it was the first time Sophia had really looked at her carefully.
When Sophia didn't speak for a while, Celestia couldn't help asking, "Shouldn't you say something to me?"
If it weren't for her, Sophia would definitely have been drugged and taken away.
"Then... thank you?"
Celestia: "..."
For some reason, hearing those words of thanks from Sophia's mouth made her feel like she was being mocked.
But Sophia's eyes were sincere, without any hint of mockery.
A breath stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down. Celestia felt terrible.
She crossed her arms and turned her face to the other side, looking proud. "Just so you know. Now hurry up and delete the recording. If you dare spread it, I won't let you off!"
Sophia waved her phone, her lips curving slightly. "The recording... I'd better keep it, just in case."
With the recording in hand, she wouldn't have to worry about Celestia bothering her again.
Celestia looked at her in shock. "Sophia, how can you go back on your word?"
"I never promised you I'd delete the recording."
Never promised, so of course it didn't count.
A sly smile curved Sophia's lips as she gripped her phone and turned to leave.
Celestia suddenly got up from the bed, only to realize she was still on an IV drip.
Her movement was too sudden, and the IV needle almost came out, making her gasp in pain.
Just then, she suddenly saw a tall figure appear at the door, and her eyes immediately lit up. "Benjamin, you have to stand up for me!"
Benjamin raised his eyebrows and grabbed Sophia's hand, asking with concern, "Did she bully you again?"
Celestia: ?
Wasn't she the one being bullied?
Benjamin, are you blind?
Seeing how upset Celestia was, Sophia couldn't help but laugh and shook her head at him. "I'm fine."
How could she possibly let herself be at a disadvantage?
Benjamin pressed his thin lips together, his cold, deep eyes staring straight at Celestia with an overwhelming sense of pressure.
Mysterious and dangerous.
Celestia was startled by his cold gaze, her face turning pale, not daring to speak anymore.
It wasn't until Benjamin left with Sophia that Celestia slowly came back to her senses.
She gasped for air, feeling like she'd just survived a disaster.
"Mom!" She threw herself into Arabella's arms, tears streaming down uncontrollably, feeling wronged and upset.
Benjamin was too cold, too scary.
Arabella patted Celestia's back sympathetically, comforting her. "It's okay now, they're gone."
"Mom, who do you think that woman Sophia mentioned is?"
Before leaving, Sophia had told her that Matthew already had someone in his heart and advised her to give up early.
But she'd never heard of any woman close to Matthew before.
So her first reaction was - was Sophia lying to her?
But thinking about it again, she had no reason to lie about something like this.
So... who was that woman?
"Well... Matthew's information is well protected. I've never heard about this either." Arabella didn't work, and her social circle was limited to those wealthy ladies.
Their information was better than hers, but they also had no news about Matthew.
She'd heard that several wealthy families had approached Matthew before, wanting to arrange marriages with him, but he'd rejected them all.
