Ch. 1861..1870
Chapter 1861 Chapter 1861 The man gave Sophie some water and medicine, acting very patient and solemn as he carried out every action carefully.
After this scene ended, another one instantly appeared to Stanley Batton.
It took place during one bright afternoon, the young man brought Sophie Kenwick along with him to poke a beehive in the palace courtyard before running off frantically.
However, they couldn't escape the bees in time, resulting in both their faces being covered with marks of stings and bites.
Stanley smiled when he saw that memory.
He then slowly looked at Sophie. "Soph, did we jab beehives in the past?"
She immediately started laughing. "Yes! Hahaha, I said I wanted a honeycomb, and that was why you brought me along to jab it. You told me there was a honeycomb inside. You were twelve, and I was eleven then," she told him. "We were silly, coming to think about it."
"Indeed, we didn't seem too smart." His smile widened as she laughed along.
Xyla Quest could not resist laughing too. How could they make fun of themselves like that?
"You two were really brave." Xyla grinned as she looked at the pair.
"We certainly were," Stanley agreed.
"We were even worse when we were younger, though," Sophie said.
Stanley pinched his forehead. "How bad were we?"
"Hehe, I won't tell you. You'll find out when you remember," she replied.
"Fine, I'm not that keen to find out anyway," he said.
Xyla started chuckling. "But I am."
Sophie laughed and sat next to Xyla. She rested her chin on her hand and started sharing about his past with her. "When I was five, I asked my brother to let me dress him up like a princess. He did as I asked and changed into the dress I had prepared, even combing his hair like a woman with makeup.
"That was SO din St Henniest part! It was C. He looked so fair t d laughing after a whit seem human." Sophie The happy memories from the past made her joyful, but she began to feel mixed emotions soon after.
The past was indeed wonderful, but she could never go back in time.
If she could, she wished she could travel back to experience all those joyful moments again.
Stanley's face darkened when he heard this. "That's dumb."
"Yeah, you were that dumb. You did whatever I told you to," she stated.
"I had no principles?"
"That's right. You told me that you didn't need principles when it to your younger sister," Son Came s who keelne replied.
Stanley was speechless.
"Do you know what else you did?" she asked. "That is quite enough... I don't want to know."
"Haha, but I want to know," his wife responded.
"I'll tell you next time, Xyla," Sophie promised.
Xyla nodded slightly, feeling curious about her husband's past life.
"Oh, right. Darling..." she looked at his face earnestly as she changed the topic.
Chapter 1861
Chapter 1862 Chapter 1862 "Hmm? What's the matter, Honey?" Stanley Batton asked with a sober expression on his face.
"If you have time tomorrow, take Soph to shop for some clothes. She can't keep wearing my old clothes, can she? I'll be rather busy during this period, so I won't have time to go shopping with her," Xyla Quest explained.
Stanley came up with a plan in his mind. "In that case, let's do it tomorrow afternoon. Are you fine with that, Soph?"
"I'm fine wearing Xyla's old clothes, though," Sophie answered.
"I'll buy you new ones," Stanley insisted. Since Sophie was his sister, he would take good care of her.
"Okay. Thank you, Brother."
Sophie didn't feel embarrassed about having her brother buy her clothes as she was used to him pampering her with acts of kindness in the past. So, she accepted his gesture gratefully.
"Oh, right. Soph, you don't have a phone yet. I have a few brand new phones in my room, so you can pick whichever you would like. I'll teach you how to use it later," Xyla offered.
"I think I can figure out how to use a phone as I have seen other people use them," Sophie said with a chuckle. "But sure, I'd still like for you to show me."
She knew she would be fine even if Xyla did not teach her, yet she'd enjoy having more interactions with her as she liked her sister-in-law.
"Okay," Xyla replied while ruffling her hair affectionately. "Soph, I have another question for you."
"Ask away, Xyla." Sophie seemed eager to answer.
"Who was your brother's lover in his past life?" Xyla asked curiously, wondering if she could find out more about their past through her. However, Sophie shook her head. "My brother didn't have a lover that I know of."
Xyla was stumped.
"What's the matter?" Sophie asked.
"Are you sure?"
Sophie nodded. "Yeah, I'm very certain. There were no secrets between the two of us. If he had a lover, he would have told me, but he never mentioned anything. That means there wasn't one."
Right then, Stanley was staring at his sister curiously while he kept scooping more food for the two ladies.
He was equally interested in this topic as he shared the same thoughts as his wife.
"Can you think back carefully? Was there anyone your brother was close to?" Xyla probed.
Sophie shook her head again. "The only female my brother was close to was me. As for men, it would be those guys from the royal family." "Okay."
Xyla decided to stop pursuing the topic since her reply suggested that Sophie didn't know anything about it. Although, she remained curious about all this.

After their meal, Xyla offered Sophie a new phone, carefully teaching her how to operate it.
Then, Sophie registered her own WeChat account and added both of them into her app.

After their meal, Xyla offered Sophie a new phone, carefully teaching her how to operate it.
Then, Sophie registered her own WeChat account and added both of them into her app.
Chapter 1863 Chapter 1863 Right after that, Sophie Kenwick saved Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton's phone numbers into her new phone.
***
The next afternoon, Sophie went to Goldfield Plaza on her own in advance because Stanley suddenly had work to do.
When she arrived at the mall, she had used her instant teleportation skills to get there from home, only to appear directly on the escalator.
Luckily, nobody noticed this strange phenomenon because they were all distracted by their phones or luxurious brands around them.
Sophie randomly selected the outfit she was wearing from Xyla's closet today. It was an affordable set of clothes that Xyla bought online previously.
She wore a long and fluffy pink sweater and a long, laced, pink shirt on the inside. She had her hair tied into a bun on one side, so she looked like a young and energetic teenager overall.
Sophie had a simple look as she only brought her phone along without a purse. Since her brother would be running late, he'd told her to wait for him at Chanel, so she made her way there directly. Several rich housewives were checking out clothes and accessories in the store, surrounded by six sales assistants.
As Sophie walked in, the sales assistants looked her up and down before concluding that she likely could not afford anything in the store, and so they continued to serve those rich housewives, not bothering to even look at her again.
Sophie could sense their indifference, but she refrained from commenting anything.
Instead, she walked directly to a white fur coat and started stroking it with her hands. It was long, just about to cover her calves. She was reluctant to release the fur coat when she felt how soft the fabric was.
The moment she touched the coat, a sales assistant approached her directly. "Miss, this is a limited-edition coat. There are only three pieces in the world and it costs 500,000."
Sophie knew that the sales assistant was insinuating that she couldn't afford the hefty price tag. However, she didn't get upset. Instead, she casually glanced at the sales assistant.
"Oh, I know."
Then, she reached out to touch another white coat nearby, spurring the sales assistant to start warning her again.
"Miss, this coat costs 100,000, so it gets dirty easily. You should not touch it if you can't afford it. If you ruin it, I doubt you'd be able to pay for it."
"How do you know whether I could afford it or not?" Sophie countered, leveling her eyes with hers.
The sales assistant did not respond other than to sneer with a patronizing look in her eyes.
Sophie didn't like the way many salespeople tended to look down on others at all. However, she didn't get offended. She pretended that particular staff was invisible and continued to touch another short, black coat.
This coat was Chanel's classic design. It looked very stylish.
Immediately after that, she touched another pink coat from the same series, further irking the staff.
The sales assistant became even more agitated. "Miss, can you please look but not touch? It would be a hassle to clean once it gets stains," she told Sophie. "I hope you won't cause any trouble."
Sophie was finding this a little hard to bear. Although she didn't want to argue with this person at all, her attitude was worsening. She had no idea she was only tolerating her. Sophie began frowning deeply.
Chapter 1864 Chapter 1864 Sophie Kenwick could not recall ever being treated so poorly before.
Although her father had taught her to forgive others whenever she could, she found it hard to tolerate the lack of respect any further. "Excuse me, can you let me browse in peace?" she asked calmly. Her tone did not make her appear to be an innocent girl, however.
Nevertheless, the sales assistant wasn't backing off but even rolled her eyes at Sophie. "Can you let us sell clothes in peace? How are we supposed to sell any of those if you dirty them up?"
Sophie was speechless.
She remembered her father's advice about forgiveness and letting things go, but he also taught her not to tolerate what was intolerable.
She clenched her fists tightly. "What makes you think I won't buy it?"
"Look at yourself! You don't look like you're here to buy anything," the sales assistant retorted.
"What's wrong with the way I look?" Sophie asked defensively.
The staff studied her from head to toe. "You look poor," she said in a sarcastic tone, not bothering to hide her disdain at all, much to the annoyance of Sophie.
Right then, the number of customers in the store increased, and the ladies who had witnessed the exchange could not resist rolling their eyes at Sophie.
One of them even started speaking up as she browsed through the racks. "Honestly, do they just let anyone in here these days?"
The woman just assumed from how Sophie dressed that she was poor, so how could someone from a different status hang out at the same place as her?
Meanwhile, the sales assistant started bullying Sophie when she saw that a customer shared her contempt. "Miss, you heard it yourself. our customers don't like you loitering around here. Just buy what you want and leave, and if you don't want to buy anything, then..." she trailed off.
"Then what?" Sophie prompted.
The sales assistant glanced at Sophie up and down coldly before walking off in annoyance, thinking that there was no need to spell out the fact that she was asking her to leave.
Sophie had dressed in affordable attire from head to toe, looking like the kind of poor kid who had a fascination for luxury goods but could never afford it.
It seemed impossible to count on her to buy from a store like this.
These sales assistants who had worked here for a long time knew how to assess their customers, judging their spending power based on their appearance within a minute from the moment they entered.
Sophie felt even more upset, as she had never been treated this way.
What on earth was wrong with this person?
"Hey, didn't your company train employees like you? Apologize to me at once, or I'll teach you a lesson!" Sophie ordered coldly.
In the meantime, that staff had stopped walking. But she didn't even turn around before crossing her arms and giving Sophie the side-eye. "You have terrible manners, shouting like that.
"If you are not buying anything, please hurry up and leave. Otherwise, I'm calling security," the sales assistant stated.
Chapter 1865
Chapter 1865
"You're so annoying. Are you buying anything? If not, hurry up and get out," a female customer said.
"She doesn't look like she can afford anything, so why even bother asking? Just kick her out already," another customer chipped in.
"This is annoying. Young lady, buy something if you can afford it. Otherwise, leave and don't affect our shopping experience, okay? People at the bottom of society are unacceptable," a rich housewife added. Sophie Kenwick could feel the sting in every word, her ears hurting from listening to what they said.
At that point, she felt they had all crossed the line.
"Look at that poor woman. She can't afford anything, but she's still making so much fuss."
"Exactly, I hate being around poor people like her."
Two other women glared at Sophie and started mocking her.
From their point of view, a poor person like Sophie had no business being in a store like this. Even if she received shabby treatment from the staff, she would have deserved it for not knowing her place. When the staff that criticized Sophie saw that she wasn't leaving, she seemed even more annoyed.
She walked up to the young girl impatiently. "Are you leaving or not?"
"Apologize to me, do you hear?" Sophie asked.
"What if I don't- Ouch!"
Before she could finish her sentence, Sophie had already raised one hand to slap her.
The woman's cheek stung in pain, catching her off guard as she had not expected the girl to possess the courage to slap her?
She covered her face and glared at Sophie. "You! How dare you hit me? I'll put you in jail!"
Sophie snorted. "Sure, go ahead and
try. I hit you because you deserved it. I gave you a chance to apologize, but you wouldn't take it. You had the guts to say you want to put me in jail? Hehehe, why would you be working here if you're so powerful?
"Do you consider yourself as one of the elites just because you talk like them? How can you treat your customers in such a rude manner?
"You think can't afford anything
here, but what about you? Can you
afford anything here?" Sophie
uttered in a harsh tone, the pitch of her voice rising as her anger followed.
The woman turned pale with rage.
"Y-You... you're a wild woman! You've obviously never been taught manners," she yelled again, about to go mad with frustration.
It was the first time she'd met such an ill-mannered woman.
"Is this how people at the bottom of society behave? It's truly scary, tsk, tsk!"
"Honestly, one cannot compare people like her to an upper-class woman at all."
"Why else do people look for partners from similar backgrounds?"
A few of the rich women started criticizing Sophie again.
Sophie glared at their faces coldly. "Shut up, all of you. Otherwise, I'll beat you all up, too."
One of them couldn't take it anymore as she sneered and stared at Sophie.
"Do you even know what you're
talking about? Do you know who am? If you think you can hit me, then I'm afraid you'll have to wait until
your next lifetime."
"You think you can hit her? She won't even have to lift a finger to ruin your life," the sales assistant spoke again with a patronizing look in her eyes.
When Sophie heard this, she instantly glared coldly at the rich woman.
Chapter 1866 Chapter 1866 After that, Sophie Kenwick walked directly over to the rich woman and slapped her forcefully across the face. "Why wait for the next life when I can do it in this one?" The rich woman was dumbfounded. She didn't expect a poor kid like Sophie would hit her.
She had been pampered wherever she went ever since she was a kid. When had she ever been humiliated like this before?
She immediately lifted her hand and prepared to slap Sophie in return. But before she could, the girl swiftly grabbed her by the wrist.
However, she wasn't about to give up, so she lifted her other hand and prepared to slap Sophie.
Meanwhile, Sophie forcibly grabbed her other hand before it landed on her.
Although the woman was using all her might, she couldn't break free from the girl's strong grip.
She looked furious. "What are you doing? Let go of me! I'm warning you... apologize to me right away, or I'll teach you a lesson. Poor people will always be poor. You're low-class filth!"
Sophie sneered without any emotion in her eyes. "Huh? How are you going to teach me a lesson? Are you just going to scream helplessly like this?"
"Y-you... there are so many ways I can kill you," the woman uttered.
"Tsk, tsk. You make it sound as if you're very powerful. Did anybody ever tell you to watch what you say and respect other people as equals?" Sophie asked. "You're arrogant and rude," the woman retorted.
"We're about the same. How much better could you be? Would I have hit you if you were polite?" Sophie snickered.
The woman was enraged. The girl was unbelievable!
"You poor filth! I command you to let go of me at once. Do you know who my father is?" the woman shouted.
Sophie sneered. "Who's your father?"
This was the first time Sophie had heard someone trying to intimidate her with their father's status.
It was rather refreshing.
"My father is one of the wealthiest men in Atlantis. Let go of me right away, or I'll get your entire family killed," the woman threatened.
"Do you know who my father is? No, forget about my father. Do you know who my brother is?" Sophie countered. "Your brother? Is he a beggar on the streets?"
"If he heard what you said, you would be dead. My brother hates people talking behind his back," Sophie said.
"Haha, I'll be dead? Can your brother do that? You're so poor, so how could your brother be doing any better? How dare poor people like you act so arrogantly in front of me?" the woman replied.
"If you're smart, you'd better let go of her. She's not someone you can afford to offend."
"That's right. Although I understand why you'd want to act tough, you should still stop while you can."
"If your brother is really powerful, why would you be dressed like this? Do you think we're all oblivious to the brands?"
"Young woman, I'm giving you sound advice. Don't be too arrogant.
People who are too arrogant cannot survive in Atlantis."
The woman and all the housewives nearby started mocking Sophie again.
They couldn't care less that she had already proved she would fight back by hitting people.
To them, she was a stupid brute.
"That's right. What about her brother? How could her brother possibly be powerful?"
"If her brother was powerful, why would he let her dress up like this?"
Chapter 1866
Chapter 1867 Chapter 1867 "That's right, she lashed out before even finding out who these people are." The sales assistants started discussing among themselves.
At that moment, Sophie Kenwick was regarded as a mindless monster to everyone. Nobody believed that her brother could be anybody worth fearing.
Sophie heard all their annoying comments. However, she sneered before turning to look at them. "I hope you can all still say stuff like that once my brother arrives." "Haha, she's still putting up an act. Sure, we'll wait for your brother to get here."
"Haha, don't you know that bragging will only get you into trouble?"
"This is hilarious, hahaha. I can't stop laughing!"
The wealthy women were mocking Sophie, and so were the sales assistants.
Nobody believed Sophie was anyone significant.
Meanwhile, the woman still being restrained by Sophie tried to set herself free again. "Let go of me! Do you hear me? I'm in pain."
However, Sophie continued to hold onto her wrist. She didn't seem to want to let go at all.
"Sure, I can do that, but apologize to me first," Sophie told her.
"Dream on," the woman instantly replied in annoyance.
"Well, in that case, I won't let go."
With that, Sophie glanced at the others who had mocked her. "I'll deal with all of you later."
Those people instantly rolled their eyes at her, not feeling intimidated at all.
The woman in her grasp started shouting, "Security! Security! Are you all dead?"
It did not take long before the security staff who received news about the incident ran over, forming a circle around Sophie and the woman.
One of them looked directly at Sophie, addressing her. "Let go of her now, or you'll be in deep trouble."
"That's right... you should know where you are. You're the one causing trouble here," security guard A said.
"Hurry up and let her go. Otherwise, we'll have to throw you out," security guard B spoke up.
"Listen to us, hurry up and let go," security guard C told her.
However, Sophie acted as if she didn't งท์ &
them. She continued toet hoTo get her apology first.
hold onto the rich woman's hands, Vel.ne The woman started struggling again while she looked at the security guards coldly. "Why are you stil standing there? Hurry up and get rid of this person. She's so annoying."
The guards immediately stepped forward and tried to separate the two of them.
However, Sophie was unusually strong. They couldn't pull them apart no matter how hard they tried.
It was strange how eight grown men were trying to pull her away but couldn't manage to.
She proceeded to hold her pose before looking at the men surrounding her. "Don't get involved and just leave. I don't want to hurt anyone innocent."
Chapter 1868 Chapter 1868 Meanwhile, the security guards tried harder to separate them.
Although they were doing their best to pull Sophie Kenwick away, nothing worked.
"Hurry up and let go. Otherwise, we're going to hit you," security guard A threatened.
"I can't understand how she could be so heavy," security guard B said.
"Is she skilled in martial arts or something?" security guard C wondered.
"You guys are so weak. Hurry up!" the rich woman snapped.
When the guards heard this, they used even more force but still failed to make her budge an inch.
The more the woman thought about it, the angrier she felt. She glanced at Sophie's face again. "Let go of me, you poor filth."
"Apologize," Sophie retorted.
"Impossible!" the woman replied.
Sophie was getting a little annoyed with those security guards, so she let go of the short-haired rich woman before chanting a spell directed at them. They instantly disappeared, much to the bewilderment of everyone there.
Meanwhile, Sophie took a deep breath calmly before chanting another spell, causing everyone's memory of what just happened to be erased.
The rich woman started shouting as she did before. "Security, get over here immediately! Isn't there a single security guard in this mall?"
The others also stared at Sophie in a bewildered manner as they did before.
Sophie was pleased with the results.
She smiled in satisfaction and gazed at the rich woman. "Since you won't apologize, then don't blame me for what happens next." With that, she lifted her hand and slapped the woman again before letting her go.
Shortly after that, she marched over е to the other women and staff who mocked her earlier, giving each of them slaps across their cheeks from one end to the other.
None of them was spared.
She had moved so quickly that everyone couldn't even react in time.
They were all dumbfounded after being struck.
Only when one of the women felt the sting did she come to her senses. Covering her cheek with one hand, she stared at Sophie.
"Do you know what you're doing? How did you move so quickly? Are you a ghost?"
"Yes, I'm a ghost. I'm the ill-mannered kind that eats humans. What are you going to do about it?" Sophie challenged.
"I'll remember you. You are done for."
"I'll remember you, too. Your entire family is done for!"
Two women were pointing at Sophie, eyes blazing with anger as they spoke.
"I'm afraid it'll be difficult for you to do anything to my family. After all, my brother isn't someone you can easily offend. The same goes for my sister-in-law," Sophie chuckled.
The women who spoke immediately tutted and rolled their eyes at her, causing others to do the same.
"This person is beginning to sound crazy again."
"She said her brother was a powerful man earlier. Now, she's saying her sister-in-law is powerful as well. Does one get addicted to lying?"
"How powerful can they be? Do you think your brother is the richest man in Atlantis?"
They began talking amongst themselves again.
"That's right," Sophie said with a smile.
Suddenly, everyone in the store burst into laughter.
Chapter 1869 Chapter 1869 Due to the commotion in the store, some pedestrians who rushed over started laughing as well.
"Do you know who the richest man in Atlantis is, young lady?"
"Does Stanley Batton know you are his younger sister?"
"I can't stop laughing! Do you know what will happen to you for impersonating Mr. Batton's sister?"
A few of the sales assistants spoke in a cold tone.
Sophie Kenwick casually gazed at them and smiled. "Do you know what will happen to you for offending Stanley's younger sister?"
Everyone burst out laughing again— "She's crazy! She's gone mad!"
"What did the doctors say, young lady? Do you need to spend a few days in a psychiatric ward?"
"Please stop causing your parents any more trouble."
A few of the passersby started mocking as well.
Right then, Sophie seemed like a young, ignorant kid to everyone.
When Stanley Batton arrived with Zack Cassidy - the mall's manager - and about a hundred security guards, they happened to witness this very scene, causing Stanley to frown slightly. He walked in front, wearing an elegant custom-made suit.
The fitting black and white suit made him look tall, his form perfectly proportioned.
With an imposing air about him, he appeared even more remarkable.
"Zack, check out what's going on," he said calmly to the manager.
Zack pushed his way inside the store, where he was instantly recognized by some of the staff, who surrounded him as they spoke up.
"Zack, this woman says she is Mr. Batton's younger sister. She even shamelessly caused a scene here."
"That's right! You should speak up for us as we're all being bullied here."
"Yeah, it's true," the sales assistant who was the first to insult Sophie chipped in as well.
"Mr. Batton's assistant is here if you'd like to continue with your act."
"Yeah, where's your script? You were bold enough to say you're Mr. Batton's younger sister."
A few of the housewives started mocking Sophie again.
Hearing what they said, Zack frowned deeply before giving the women a look of contempt.
Stanley had his brows furrowed when he heard the word 'sister'.
The gathering crowd that saw Stanley with his bodyguards subconsciously parted to make way for him.
Even by simply standing still without doing anything, people would somehow willingly bow him and his impressive stature belongs to en.swinel As the path opened, his cold and indifferent expression emerged in front of everyone again.
The wealthy, short-haired woman who was slapped twice by Sophie earlier directly approached Stanley, pointing at the young girl.
"Mr. Batton, that girl pretended to be your younger sister and even used your name to trick and bully others. She's practically ruining your family's reputation."
"That's right, Mr. Batton. You can't just let her off the hook," a rich, long-haired woman added.
The first short-haired woman smiled in would be no escaping for the girl now that Stanley had arrived.
3 action, knowing that there Now, she didn't have to do anything other than watch that poor woman get into deep trouble.
Everybody in Atlantis knew Stanley Batton was a ruthless man.
Sophie ought to go to hell for daring to use Stanley's name to deceive other people.
Chapter 1870 Chapter 1870 Upon seeing Stanley Batton's facial expression grow colder, the women who were against Sophie Kenwick became bolder.
The rich, short-haired woman started adding more negative remarks. "Mr. Batton, you can't let this poor filth go. She was so awful, casually using your name and attacking other people. You must punish her severely to preserve your dignity."
"That's right. Not only could the girl not afford anything, but she even told lies here. I am honestly speechless," a sales assistant said.
"Mr. Batton, I hope you won't let her off the hook so easily," another staff member said.
Stanley's face suddenly turned unfriendly.
Meanwhile, Sophie smiled helplessly. There was a sense of ease about her expression.
To the others, her reaction was merely her attempt at keeping up with appearances, pretending to be calm when in reality, she should be panicking on the inside.
Judging from Stanley's reaction, they had high expectations that Sophie would be in trouble.
Instead, she silently watched them behave with interest.
The way they pandered to her brother when it suited them was identical to how the servants did the same to her father in the past.
Honoring more influential people was a human trait that had never changed since ancient times.
It was also the case for bullying the weak but fearing the strong.
Sophie shook her head helplessly.
The short-haired woman rolled her eyes at her. "Why are you still so arrogant? Mr. Batton is here, and yet you're still putting up an act. Do you think he would forgive you so easily? Be careful, or you won't even know what might befall you."
When Stanley heard this, his face turned icy.
With a deep frown on his face, he turned to look at Sophie.
"Come here," he said softly.
At that moment, everyone fell silent.
Those who were gloating and waiting for a good show were all puzzled.
What was going on?
Was Stanley looking at the poor kid and talking to her in such a gentle manner?
What on earth was going on?
Could she actually be his younger sister?
They had never heard about Stanley having a younger sister.
Besides, why would a Batton be dressed so plainly?
At this point, people stopped feeling to view annoyed at the girl but began t her with curiosity. Content, swivelongs They felt deeply embarrassed and were holding their breaths.
Stanley watched Sophie approach him step-by-step obediently with a tender gaze.
Although short, seemed to tower bay in vene was by no means as she stood in front of him.
s to en.swnovelet She looked like a dwarf next to him.
At this moment, Sophie seemed meek, neither acting cold nor hostile like before.
