With tears in her eyes, she looked aggrieved and said, “I had my eye on this house for a long time. Ms Avery, if you took it from me, I wouldn't complain, but please don't be mad at Darius. The two of you must not break up over this.”
“I’ll kneel before you. As long as you forgive me, I’ll do anything you ask.”
Hearing these twisted words, I was so angry I couldn’t help but laugh.
When did this house become something she had already set her sights on?
Wasn't kneeling like this in front of everyone simply a ploy to thrust me into the spotlight?
I smiled coldly and pushed her away, intending to leave.
But the next moment, a slap hit my face.
My face was struck, swelling instantly. Darius hurriedly helped Sofia, who was still kneeling on the ground, to her feet.
Without a word, he began to berate me, “It’s just a house! Shawna, is this really worth it? Forcing Sofia to kneel before everyone like that—what has made your heart so cruel?”
“Apologize to Sofia immediately!"
The crowd grew larger and whispers filled the air.
From my angle, I could clearly see Sofia, leaning against Darius's chest, looking at me with a smug expression.
