Zoey clenched her fists.
Though she knew this could be the possible outcome, she was still stunned when the woman admittedit in person. Sophia. Sophia Carr. Is she really that Mrs. Jefferson who died in the fire two decadesago?
Twenty years ago, she perished in a fire, and her body was not found. Her death had rocked the eliteclass in Hallsbay.
Everyone believed she was burned alive in the incident as there was no way for her to cheat death. Buthow come she's still alive? And how come there's no sign of wounds on her body?
Nevertheless, there were still some minor changes to her appearance.
Compared to her appearance twenty years ago, she looked slightly different at present.
Zoey deduced that the woman must have undergone several plastic surgeries to restore her looks.
“D-Didn't you die in the fire? H-How come you're still alive?” Zoey stuttered.
Sofie responded with a sigh, “Did you just curse me? I'm your mother. How could you? Do you wish I'mdead? You would have lost a strong ally had I been dead.”
Those words sent a shiver down Zoey's spine, but her eyes lit up with joy as if something flashedacross her mind. She's right. She's the owner of an international cosmetics company. With her help, Ican get rid of Bailey more easily.
“D-Does that mean you're willing to help me?” Zoey asked.
A corner of Sofie's lips quirked up. She gently stroked Zoey's face and sighed. “I haven't met you fortwenty years, and you've grown into a beauty. It looks like I made the right choice. Only the Shurmerscould raise you to become an elegant woman. Had you been raised in the Jefferson family, you wouldhave ended up being a small fry among the other socialites. In other words, you wouldn't have made itto the list of the Ten Acclaimed Socialites.”
Tears started welling up in Zoey's eyes when she heard “Ten Acclaimed Socialites.”
She could not help putting on a piteous pretense. “That b*tch Bailey tricked me and put me behind barsfor half a month. As a result, the International Socialite Club removed me from the ranking.”
The woman standing before her was her biological mother. Had she been an ordinary woman, Zoeywould have given her the cold shoulder and ordered someone to kick her out of Hallsbay.
Kinship meant nothing to Zoey. A mother who could not provide her with all the assistance she neededwould be just another useless person.
Fortunately, Sofie managed to make a name for herself and become a renowned entrepreneur in theinternational arena.
Given Sofie's power and prestige, Zoey knew she could be of great help to her. I'm even willing to lickher boots if necessary.
Sofie's heart instantly softened when she heard Zoey's soft voice.
After all, Zoey was her biological daughter. She had been away for years, and she felt a pang of guiltfor not fulfilling her responsibility as a mother. novelbin
“Who cares about the Ten Acclaimed Socialites ranking? I'll tell the world you're my goddaughter. I betthe International Socialite Club will beg you to return. I understand you're in a difficult situation, and I'maware Bailey had driven you to the edge, but look, I came all the way here to back you up. With mebehind your back and your position as the daughter of the Shurmer family, I'm sure you'll become thenew mistress of the Luther family.”
Zoey was overjoyed. “You came back for me? You mean you'll help me deal with Bailey?”
Sofie nodded with a grin. “Yup. That's right. I'll remove all the stumbling blocks that get in your way andhelp you become Mrs. Luther.”
Zoey's body began to tremble in excitement.
One thing she learned from the harsh reality was she must cling to her biological mother if she wantedto lead a better life. I believe God has sent her over to help me overcome this crisis.
“Though I've never met you, I still want to thank you. Thank you for swapping Bailey and me at birthand giving me a chance to grow up in the prestigious Shurmer family. You must be eager to see me dosomething big in life, right? I'll make you proud by becoming the most prestigious woman in the world.”
Sofie beamed with pride. “I thought you would have given up after going through so much hardship. Itseems you're an intelligent woman who knows what you want to achieve. I'll make you the mostdesirable woman in the world, so don't worry.”
Zoey broke into an adorable grin.
It did not take Zoey long to welcome Sofie with open arms because she knew the woman was wealthyand had a strong network. She's someone I can count on if I want to do well.
“So how do you plan on taking Bailey down?”
A mysterious smirk flashed across Sofie's face. “We don't have to do anything for now. There's alreadya ticking bomb lying next to Bailey. We just need to wait. Something will happen in no time.”
A hint of confusion flashed across Zoey's eyes. Who did Bailey offend this time? But luck seems toalways be on her side no matter how many people she had offended.
“Don't underestimate that woman. There's something evil about her. Anyone who opposed her will bedoomed.”
“Don't worry. Things are different this time. Even if she survives this ordeal, I still have other plans up inmy sleeve.”
Upon hearing that, Zoey heaved a sigh of relief. This woman clearly came prepared. She must havereturned to Hallsbay specifically to deal with Bailey.
