“Miss, the people from the bank are here.”
Sophie Carson sat under the crystal lamp and looked at the house she had lived in for 20 years.
She nodded stiffly.
Three days ago, the Carson family had gone bankrupt. The Carson family, which had stood tall in Surabaya City for more than a hundred years, had been wiped out in an instant following the disappearance of her father and the suicide of her mother. The butler, Elder Bram had moved her luggage over. This was her last day in the Carson family.
All the servants had been sent away, leaving only her. After staying here for decades, the Carson family had been disbanded, and she had nowhere to go.
The rain that had just fallen last night dripped onto the courtyard. In this August weather, she actually felt an icy chill when she went out.
Sophie tightened the suitcase she was holding and walked out, not daring to turn back to take another look. Outside the door stood a staff from the bank.
Sophie walked over and signed her name. She could not help but ask, “How soon will this house be auctioned?”
The staff looked at the woman in front of her with amazement. After recovering from the shock, she said, “It should be in half a year.”
“I heard that this house has a market value of 30 billion. I’m afraid that you can’t even afford pancakes now, right Miss Sophie?”
A sarcastic voice came from the sports car parked by the roadside. Sophie coldly watched the two figures walking towards her. Blake’s gaze fell on Sophie and instantly brightened. The sight of her ruthlessly teased his heart.
This overly beautiful face, even if it was expressionless, was undeniably stunning. The two girls from the Carson family were famous for their beauty. The eldest sister was gentle, the younger sister was charming, and Sophie was the most famous socialite in Surabaya City.
Blake was one of the many rich young masters who had pursued her. However, although he had pursued her for three years, Sophie had not given him the time of day. He was more delighted than anyone that the Carson family had lost everything.
Sophie could not be bothered with such a person and turned to leave.
“Sophie, you’re practically nothing now. What’s there to be proud of?” Leslie held onto the man beside her, but her heart was filled with hatred.
She was also the daughter of a wealthy family and the pearl of the Morgenstein family. However, she had lived under the shadow of the Carson sisters since she was young.
Regardless of whether it was the school or the people around them, they only had eyes for the beautiful bodies of the Carson sisters, and Sophie was the one they talked about the most. This time, she wanted to see if Sophie could become the number one socialite in Surabaya City without the Carson family.
“The Carson family’s assets have all been seized by the bank. You’re all alone now. It’s quite pathetic. Why don’t you come with me? It’ll save you the trouble of sleeping on the streets tonight.” Blake’s eyes sparkled. No matter how hard Leslie pulled on his arm, his gaze was still fixed on Sophie.
A woman’s beauty could really seduce one’s soul. Blake felt that his heart was about to be stolen by the woman in front of him. Even if Sophie stood still, she could still excite him. Blake could not help but reach out to touch Sophie’s face, but she grabbed his wrist in midair.
Sophie pushed his hand down. Blake immediately screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
“Sophie, you actually hurt someone. Watch out or I’ll call the police.”
“As you wish.”
Sophie spat out these two words, then turned around to walk to the end of the road. Behind her, Leslie was shouting something. She was already in no mood to listen. Half an hour later, Sophie received a phone call.
“We are being very sincere. Please consider it carefully, Miss Sophie.”
The corners of Sophie’s lips curled up and she said without hesitation, “I agree.”
Soon, an address appeared on her phone. It was an address to another villa not far from the Carson family. Someone had proposed to her and she had agreed to marry him.
The house looked very much like the Carson family’s house, but it was twice its size. Sophie blinked and rang the doorbell. Soon, someone came out to pick her up and brought her into the villa.
It was a long walk, and only the sound of her luggage being dragged on the ground could be heard. It was out of place in this quiet courtyard. Sophie walked to the front door and the servants left. However, someone else brought her in.
There were only two people sitting in the house. One was an old man with white hair, and the other was an elegant lady. When the lady saw Sophie, she could not help but be stunned.
Although she had seen Sophie’s photo a long time ago, she did not expect that she was even more stunning than her photo. Such a beautiful woman often could not be kept.
“You are Sophie!” Sarah said without batting an eyelid.
Sophie nodded and greeted them politely. “Hello, Grandpa Scott. Hello, Mrs. Scott.”
She was elegant and decent. Such a decent girl was indeed qualified to be her daughter-in-law, but unfortunately...
“I think it is necessary for me to tell you about Hector’s situation.”
“I know that Young Master Hector was in a car accident half a year ago and hasn’t woken up yet.”
Therefore, she was going to marry a comatose person who might never wake up. This was no different from asking her to stay a widow. Her simple sentence had avoided many unpleasant words. Sarah felt comfortable but also a little worried. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she heard Sophie’s gentle voice. “I’m willing.”
It was so simple to agree to. It seemed reasonable to surprise them.
