“Grandpa, no! I should say the whole family is waiting for you to have dinner together! Come in! You haven’t been back for a long time. This time you come back, you have to stay longer.”
Livinus nodded and went in.
The family was indeed gathered together, and everyone sat around a long table.
“Dad! Brother! Sister-in-law!” Livinus greeted them one by one.
The old man responded, and Scott Richard smiled and said, “Little brother, please sit down! I’m waiting for you alone!”
“Yes.” Andrea agreed: “Henry You specially found a Michelin chef for you. This kid is thoughtful.”
Scott Livinus said nothing and glanced at Henry indifferently.
Henry laughed awkwardly, pulled Olivia, who was wearing a white dress, in front of him, and introduced her, “Uncle, this is Olivia, my girlfriend.”
Livinus raised his eyebrows, “When did you get divorced?”
Henry was startled by what he said, and the other members of the Scott family also looked embarrassed. Andrea laughed dryly and said, ” Uncle, you may not know the situation since you just came back. Henry’s wife is really not presentable, and her family is not good either. Our family took her in out of kindness for the sake of her parents. Olivia and Henry have a good relationship, and Olivia is also an obedient child. You will know later.”
Livinus ignored him and fell into an awkward situation at the dinner table again.
Just as he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pushed open, and a girl in a black tight-knit skirt walked in. She had curly hair draped over her shoulders, fair skin, thin lips tightly pursed, and an indescribable stubbornness between her brows.
She walked in expressionlessly, and Andrea’s face immediately turned cold.
“You are so old, but you don’t come home at night, Sophia you have grown up!”
Sophia said nothing. She had figured out her original body’s situation along the way. The person in front of her was Andrea, her mother-in-law.
Sophia was a descendant of the Smith family’s Traditional medicine clinic. The Smith family was not famous. Still, they had several secret recipes because of their heritage as Traditional medicine practitioners and their ancestors who had served as imperial physicians in the palace. The Scott family had always been interested in these secret recipes, but the Smith family was unwilling to sell them. The Scott family started out as a business dealing in medicinal materials and spices, and although their business had expanded to other industries over the years, they had never lost this area.
The Scott family is very optimistic about the Smith family’s prescription and intends to have Scott Henry and Smith Sophia get married, with the prescription as Sophia’s dowry. The Smith family naturally agreed when they saw that Henry was a handsome man with a prominent family background.
After the two married, one of their American herbal toothpaste was launched on the market and received rave reviews, bringing in 30 million in revenue in the first year. After that, it got better and better every year. Although Sophia didn’t know how much profit her secret recipe brought to the Scott family, it was certain that if it weren’t for these prescriptions, Henry would never have been able to enter the company and expand the herbal medicine product business.
But since her family members died in a car accident a year ago, the Scott family disliked her more and more. They ordered her around on weekdays, and her husband was not nice to her. He also had a mistress outside. Logically, the original body was so young, and there was no need for her to suffer such a thing. But the original body loved Henry so much that she endured it and gave silently, thinking that Henry would change his mind one day. However, her forbearance did not win others’ sincerity; instead, it made people think that she was easy to bully.
What’s even more outrageous is that recently, Henry began to openly bring Olivia to various gatherings in the circle. Everyone knew that Henry had a mistress whom he loved very much, which made Sophia a laughingstock in the circle.
Since her husband didn’t treat her well, her mother-in-law naturally wouldn’t take her seriously. She didn’t mind her mother-in-law ordering her around, and she just endured it in the past. However, she didn’t know that endurance didn’t bring her a good ending.
If Sophia guessed correctly, it must have been Olivia who drugged him. As for whether other people in the Scott family knew about it, she was not sure. It was conceivable that as an orphan, Sophia would have no chance of turning things around once she was caught cheating. The dozens of lawyers hired by the Scott family could easily make her leave the house with nothing. Sophia had nothing to begin with, and now even the prescriptions she had were taken away by the Scott family. She would have to swallow her grievances if she just divorced in silence.
but……
Why?
Yes, Sophia wanted to ask why. She was not the original body and could not decide her life for the original body. But now that she was here, she could not watch this body suffer any grievances. No matter if the original body were dead or had traveled through time and space in her body, during the time she had traveled through time and space, she would fight for the original body and take back everything that the original body deserved!
So first of all, let’s clean up all the rubbish that you don’t like!
Sophia came to the dinner table and smiled at Andrea, who was scolding her:
“Mom, what you said is wrong. No matter how capable I am, I am not as capable as your son. Look, he has brought the mistress back. How can anyone do such a thing?”
In the past, Sophia allowed himself to be beaten and scolded and never dared to talk back. This rebuttal made Andrea so angry that she trembled all over.
“You……”
“Am I right? Mom agrees, too. They say women shouldn’t embarrass other women. Mom, if outsiders knew that your son brought his mistress back to eat at the same table with his original wife, what would they say about the Scott family?”
“You… you’re a rebel!” Andrea’s lips turned red with anger. She pointed at her and cursed, “Who the hell are you? How dare you threaten me!”
“Don’t dare!” Sophia came before Olivia and said with a smile: “Come, you are taking my sister’s place. My sister, the queen, is still here. How can it be your turn to sit here and act like a gentleman?”
As soon as these words came out, Olivia’s face turned pale as paper. Henry, who was standing beside her, stood up and said angrily:
“Sophia, who the hell are you? How dare you talk to Olivia like that?”
Olivia’s tears rolled around a few times before finally flowing out.
Sophia smiled, took out a long piece of tissue, and wiped her tears lovingly:
