The Returning Ex

Chapter 121

She leaned against the door and looked up. A moment later, everything went quiet outside as they went downstairs. They were so loud. Did they want me to hear that? She sniggered and went to the bathroom, but she noted that the marks on her body were worse this time as she filled the bathtub with hot water and went inside.

Her whole body was sore, but she remembered she was in her safe period now, so she didn’t have to take the pills. This is probably the only thing worth celebrating. She didn’t sleep much last night. He wasn’t drunk; he was on drugs. John was relentless. At that thought, she soon fell asleep in the bathtub.

It was noon when she woke up, and Sophia was starving. She got out of the bathtub and wiped herself off before changing and going down. There was only Mrs. Constance down there, who looked angry when she came down. Sophia ignored her and went to the dining room to have lunch.

The food was cold, and her stomach disagreed with it. She wiped her mouth after finishing, then she hailed a ride. Sophia went to wait at the clearing, for the ride would take some time to come. As she waited, she stood there, unmoving as she fixed her eyes on the gates.

Mrs. Constance stood at the living room’s doorstep. “You slut,” she said, her voice audible. Sophia said nothing the first time, for she thought last night’s event was embarrassing for her too. Then, Mrs. Constance continued, “You uneducated swine. I bet your parents taught you how to seduce rich men so they can get rich too.” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

That angered her, so she looked back at Mrs. Constance, who was scorning her. Sophia slowly raised her phone and called someone. A moment later, she said, “Contact all the news outlets for me. I want to tell them about my relationship with the Constance Family’s young master. I bet they would just love this scoop.”

Mrs. Constance’s expression changed, and she trotted to Sophia to snatch her phone. “Nonsense! Give your phone to me!”

Sophia waited until she came closer, then she kicked Mrs. Constance away. “Scram.”

Mrs. Constance was plump and lived in grace all the time. If they were to fight, any normal person could beat her in an instant. Now, Sophia caught her by surprise, so Mrs. Constance took the kick squarely. She stumbled backward, but she failed to catch her bearings, then she fell heavily. One servant saw it, and she tried to help Mrs. Constance up.

Sophia looked at the servant. “Scram.” She didn’t shout, but her look was scary, as if she wanted to devour everyone.

The servant shivered, for she had never seen Sophia acting this way. Mrs. Constance stayed on the ground, feeling nervous. W-What does she want to tell the media? The servant still tried to help Mrs. Constance up, but Sophia went ahead and kicked her even harder.

Mrs. Constance blinked and tried to shout, but then she swallowed everything back. She might be really mad. She might even kill me! When Old Mrs. Constance heard the commotion, she came down with the help of another servant. Mrs. Constance was still on the ground, while Sophia looked at her scornfully.

Old Mrs. Constance was surprised. “What happened?”

Mrs. Constance bawled when she saw Old Mrs. Constance, who frowned and said, “Get up now. Why are you on the ground?”

The servant clutched her stomach and tried to help her up, but Sophia glared at her. She raised her leg, and the servant stopped. Now, Mrs. Constance didn’t care anymore, so she stood up on her own.

Old Mrs. Constance frowned unhappily; she rarely got angry, for everyone would back down if she even showed a hint of anger. Nobody got on her nerves, but now she was looking at both of them darkly.

Mrs. Constance was genuinely crying. Well, a part of it was fake, but not much. This was the first time in her life someone kicked her, and right in front of the servants too. How humiliating.
