Chapter 343
Sophia took a bite of noodles. “What is there to clarify? You want me to say that I pretended to be stillmarried to John for the sake of helping him out with the crisis over Infinity Group, but he was thencaught red-handed with Isabelle, so we had to make our divorce public?”
Matilda was rendered speechless. “Sophia, are you feigning ignorance with me?”
Finishing the noodles in a few bites, Sophia then stood up with the bowl in her hands and looked at her.“Yup, I’m feigning ignorance. However, it seems that you’re truly ignorant. How are you so thick-skinned to come and seek me out? The previous time, you swore right here that you wouldn’t imploreme for help. Why, you’re going back against your word so soon?”
Sneering, she turned around and walked toward the kitchen. “Also, you should act like it if you’re hereto beg me for help. What kind of attitude is this now? I’m already showing great charity by not talkingsmack about John. I’ve warned you not to provoke me. Otherwise, I won’t be able to control mytongue.”
Matilda closed her eyes for a moment, her fists cracking by her sides. All of a sudden, she recalled thescene back when she was forced to come and apologize to Sophia. This was the exact spot I stood inback then. My humiliation is just greater every single time!
When Sophia came out after washing the bowl, she noticed that Matilda was still standing there. Shedidn’t pay her any attention earlier, so she thought that she’d left. Going over to the coffee table, shetook a piece of tissue and wiped her hands. “If there’s nothing else, I’m going upstairs to rest.”
Matilda’s face was devoid of emotion. She merely stared at her without saying a single word nortwitching a single muscle. Her brows creasing, Sophia looked at her for a while before she pivoted and
headed for the staircase.
However, just after she’d turned around, Matilda suddenly rushed at her and grabbed her hair hard,yanking her backward. “Why are you being cocky with me? Who do you think you are?”
Sophia was startled. Her scalp hurting, she promptly arched her body backward. While she’d lazedaround for almost a year after marrying into a wealthy family, she still used to be a farmer in the past.Thus, she was quite strong despite her petite and slim stature. Half bending, she spun around, puttingherself face-to-face with Matilda. As her hair was being pulled, she could only keep her head lowered.
Swinging a hand out to break Matilda's hold on her hair, Sophia pinched a nerve on her arm that wouldrender the entire arm numb with her other hand. She pinched hard, upon which Matilda exclaimed inpain before her hold loosened.
Straightening, Sophia smoothed her hair and chuckled. “Looks like the incident back then failed toteach you a lesson after all.” After saying that, she walked toward Matilda. novelbin
At this time, Matilda was cradling her numb arm, staring at her. Subsequently, she grabbed adecorative item from the table beside her and threw it at Sophia while snarling, “You’re truly lacking inmanners, you insolent brat!”

Sophia easily dodged. Then, she stepped forward and swung her hand at Matilda without hesitation.“You’re the uncouth one.” After the slap, she added a kick.
There was a hanging chair behind Matilda, so when she stumbled at the kick and hit the hanging chair,she tripped and fell to the ground.
Her expression frosty, Sophia walked over. All at once, she was reminded of the scene back when sheraised her hand against Matilda. I regretted not kicking her a few times back then, but look, myopportunity is now here!
Propping herself up, Matilda stared at her. “What? You still want to hit me? Let me tell you, I’m going tolodge a police report and sue you when I leave. I’ll have you return everything you took from John!”
Sophia burst out laughing. “Sure, I’ll give you the opportunity. You’re a coward if you don’t lodge apolice report later!” After she’d said that, she gave Matilda a kick right away, taking her by surprisesince she’d never thought that Sophia would dare kick her.
