Female Novel
Chapter 532
In the past, Matilda had given Isabelle her all. She obviously knew that John would be upset with her ifshe tried to matchmake him and Isabelle, but she still did it anyway. But now, when somethinghappened to her, Isabelle had refused to help at all.
Matilda felt a little sad, but she was still making excuses for Isabelle in her heart. After all, John hadalways rejected Isabelle’s advances, and Matilda knew this much. Hence, she could understandIsabelle not wanting to offend John by avoiding her. She had seen Isabelle go to the Constance Groupjust now and meet up with John, most likely to mention her matters.
It was probably due to her failure to get a positive response from John that she had brushed me off onthe phone like that. With Zack beside John, Isabelle might have found it hard to mention some things,so it’s only natural if she didn’t say much.
Matilda thought up a lot of excuses to explain away Isabelle’s actions. The more she thought about it,the better she felt in her heart.
Sophia had been busy the entire time. There were some customers at noon, but Robin was in chargeof running the shop. Sophia kept on packing up big boxes and carrying things around, looking reallyserious in her work.
After a while, Matilda turned around and looked at Sophia, who was busy. She couldn’t help but startsneering, “It’s clear that your life is filled with nothing but hard work.” novelbin
Since she didn’t lower her voice, Sophia naturally heard it.
Sophia didn’t look at Matilda and continued with her work, but she still opened her mouth to say,
“You’re right, my life is filled with nothing but hard work. However, I earn my money with my own effort. Iknow someone who only knows how to rely on her parents when she was younger and her husbandafter marriage. Now that she’s dumped by her husband, I wonder whom she will rely on next?”
She turned her head and looked at Robin. “Guess whom she will rely on next?”
Robin knew that these words were meant for Matilda, so her expression turned a little embarrassing.When she didn’t respond, Sophia continued saying to herself, “I guess she’ll just live on her own fat orjust live off her parents when all else fails. After all, there aren’t many men who are willing to support aspoilt and narcissistic old woman who stays at home doing nothing!”
Matilda stood up quickly. “Sophia!”
Sophia still refused to look at her ex-mother-in-law, after which she chuckled and said, “If you’re doneeating, pay up and get lost now. Actually, I didn’t even want to do your business. I just pitied you.”
Matilda's eyes widened in anger. Rushing up toward Sophia, she snarled, “Say that again! Who the hellare you pitying?”
There was a large mirror near the entrance of the shop. Therefore, Sophia pointed at it and said, “Takea look at yourself in the mirror. Look at your own long face, and you'll know who I'm talking about.”
Of course, Matilda wasn’t that obedient to actually look at herself in the mirror. All she did was grit herteeth and glare at Sophia hatefully.
Regardless of whether they were arguing or fighting, she could never match up to Sophia. Knowingthat, Matilda could only stand there and huff in annoyance.
Sophia placed her things down gracefully before looking back at Matilda. “Ah, you don’t have anymoney to pay the bill? That’s fine. I can treat you to this meal if you like.”
Matilda was so enraged that she couldn’t speak. She took out her purse, peeled a bill from it, andslapped it onto the counter. “Keep the change as your reward.”
Sophia looked at Robin. “Keep it. The rest will be your tips. After all, soon Madam Flintstone will nolonger be able to afford to be so generous. So, keep it.”
Sophia's behavior was really annoying to Matilda, who stood rooted to the spot for a long time beforefinally waving a hand and leaving.
Looking at Matilda's incensed expression, Sophia felt amused.
She doesn’t even realize her current situation right now, yet she came to challenge me. If she has somuch free time, she should think about what she can do to turn her shitty reputation around.
Robin kept the money and then came to help Sophia tidy up. “That Mrs. Constance looks a little scary.”
Sophia snorted. “What Mrs. Constance? It's Madam Flintstone now. She doesn't have anything to dowith the Constance Family now.”
Robin smiled and looked at her. “You’re so petty. It’s just a form of address, so why do you care somuch?”
