“Oh, don’t call me an outsider just yet. Someday, I might be your aunt,” Sophie said confidently. “The
chances of that are slim.” Angela left.
Sophie’s chest was heaving in anger. Another servant then came for her. “Miss Liamson, Madam
Charlotte is in the tea room. She wants to see you.”
Sophie quickly turned around. Trying to befriend anyone in this household was a waste of time. She
would rather make Charlotte happy, since she was the one calling all the shots here.
Charlotte was having tea in the tea room. She was looking really delighted. What Ren told her made
her feel great relief, though she was a little unhappy that Ren didn’t tell her soon. I wouldn’t have asked
Sophie over otherwise.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSophie came into the room and happily took the seat beside Charlotte. “Hi, Charlotte. The servant said
you wanted to see me.”
“Ah, Sophie. There you are. Here’s a gift for you. It’s been great talking to you. Do visit me often,
alright?” Charlotte gave her a gift while looking at Sophie affectionately.
Sophie was a smart woman. The gift and what Charlotte said were bad signs. Her heart sank. So the
blind date’s over?She’s giving me up? Why? Did Angela do something again?
“I can’t take this, Charlotte. It’s great enough that I get to talk to you.” She pushed the gift back into
Charlotte’s hand while smiling.
“You’re a nice girl, Sophie. I like you very much, but Ren told me that he has someone he likes now. I
don’t want you to waste your time on him anymore. You’re a brilliant girl. You’ll find a nice guy to marry.
Sorry for taking up your time.” Charlotte sounded apologetic.
Sophie looked down. She was smiling, but her eyes were filled with disappointment. I see. So I didn’t
make the cut. Is this the end?
All of a sudden, she realized something. She sneered quietly, He has someone he likes?
She looked at Charlotte. “Charlotte, may I know who’s the lady he likes? Maybe I know her.”
Charlotte smiled at her, and she sighed. “He’s keeping her under wraps. Wonder what’s the mystery.”
A hint of evil glinted in Sophie’s eyes. He’s not being mysterious. He’s just too scared to tell you guys
who he likes. Oh, so he’s going to toss his future away and reveal his sordid relationship with Ruka,
huh?He’d probably reveal it if he wasn’t the vice president, but since he’s still the VP, he needs to keep

“There’s something I really want to tell you, but it might upset you, Charlotte.” Sophie bit her lip and
acted like she was in a dilemma. “What is it? Tell me,” Charlotte asked curiously. She was in a good
mood today.
“So I was looking for Ren before lunch.” She blinked innocently. The lady was still keeping up the act. “I
did find him, but… but I saw…”
“What did you see?” Charlotte’s interest was piqued.
“I saw Ruka and Ren together in the study. I didn’t see what they were doing inside, but they came out
holding hands. Ruka was the one who held Ren’s hand first, but that can’t be real. I must have been
seeing things. She can’t be dating Ren. Scarlet’s her godmother.”
Charlotte’s cup fell and shattered into pieces. The old lady looked furious. She asked with a trembling
voice, “What did you say? Are they dating?”
