Victoria decided to take a tough approach.
My face turned ugly. “Are you threatening me?”
Victoria spoke in a cold tone, “It depends on how you interpret it.”
After thinking about the tampered design and Victoria’s insistence on her returning home for
dinner, I fell silent for a moment and said coldly, “Fine, I’ll come back.”
After hanging up the phone, I packed my things with a stern expression and left the Hill Crest One
Residence.
Having learned from the previous incident at the Lopez Family’s villa, I had already contacted Geoff
Turner in advance.
Confirming that Geoff was indeed going to the Lopez Family’s villa, I felt relieved.
When I arrived, Geoff was already there, sitting on the sofa talking to Lopez.
To be honest, if it weren’t for my father, Connor, passing, and Victoria taking away my uncle’s
shares, Victoria wouldn’t have such an easy grip on my uncle.
Even if my mother pursued her own interests, she wouldn’t easily let my uncle’s company go
bankrupt.
However, she desired to alter the management of my uncle’s company, come together with other shareholders, and distribute what his uncle had worked hard for throughout his life, seemingly
without much difficulty.
Seeing me enter, Victoria immediately stood up with a smile. “Sophia is back.”
I nodded with a cold face.
Geoff was in the middle of discussing the incident where Bella plagiarized my design with Victoria.
He explained that it was a misunderstanding and that I had already forgiven Bella.
But seeing his niece’s current expression, it was clear that what Victoria said, and the actual
situation were different.
Victoria was perceptive, and he noticed Geoff’s hesitant expression. He said, “You two should have a

chat first. I’ll go upstairs to get something.”
After Victoria finished speaking, he got up and went upstairs.
Geoff looked at me and said, “Your mather said that the incident with Bella plagiarizing your work
was a misunderstanding.”
I pursed my lips, unsure of how to explain.
Seeing my expression, Geoff immediately understood.
His gaze darkened. “You silly girl, why didn’t you tell me? I just came back from overseas, and I only found out about this incident today. Were you planning on never telling me?”
I felt somewhat helpless. “Uncle, it’s not that I didn’t want to tell you. At that time, we had already

Although she wanted me to marry Gerald Hughes, it didn’t succeed.
I maintained a calm expression. “Is that all you wanted to tell me? I understand. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave.”
After I finished speaking, I turned around to leave.
Victoria quickly stood up from her chair. “Stop right there.”
I turned around, my expression cold. “Is there something else?”
Victoria stared at my intensely. From her expression, it was evident that she was suppressing her anger. After all, I had never dared to treat her with such an attitude before.
She believed that I was acting this way because I had the support of Lukas Strakovski.
She had no idea that I used to be respectful and reverent towards her, but now I was thoroughly disappointed and had nothing to worry about.
Seeing her remain silent, I spoke directly, “If you want to tell Uncle about my marriage to Lukas, you can do it now. Even if he finds out, at most, he’ll feel guilty. It won’t be a threat to me.”
Upon hearing this, Victoria suddenly realized that there were very few things she could use to control me now.
The anger on her face eased a bit. “I didn’t mean to threaten you. It’s just that Bella lost the lawsuit against you, and now there’s no company that would want her. After all, she’s your real sister. Do you have any way to help her get a job at Strakovski Jewelry?”
I frowned fiercely. “I can’t.”
I really didn’t know what Victoria was thinking. How could someone like Bella, in terms of her

character, be allowed to work at Strakovski Jewelry by Lukas?
Victoria didn’t expect me to reject it so decisively.
His face turned extremely unsightly. “Aren’t you married to Lukas? Isn’t arranging for Alexa to work
at Strakovski Jewelry as simple as a word from him?”
