Chapter 110
“Really?” Sophie said. “Rebecca, it seems that you really went to great lengths to keep us for lunch.”
As Sophie spoke, she did not forget to call out to Evelyn. “Evelyn, come and thank Rebecca,” she said.
While Evelyn and Ronald were chatting happily, they were suddenly interrupted. Evelyn’s expression immediately turned cold.
Evelyn naturally knew that Rebecca had been staring at her. She thought, ‘It hasn’t been easy to finally make Ronald forget about Rebecca’s existence and talk to me freely. Unexpectedly, as soon as Sophie appears, I’ve got to face Rebecca.
Gritting her teeth, she could only put on a gentle and friendly appearance before standing up.
However, as soon as she stood up, she let out a hiss and pretended to be in pain.
When Ronald saw this, he quickly got up and grabbed her hand, taking the opportunity to pull her into his arms to support her. “Evelyn, are you alright?” he asked.
Sophie thought, ‘Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Evelyn is so amazing. She just arrived this morning, and she could make Ronald call her so affectionately, even holding hands and putting his arm around her waist. This speed is comparable to the speed of a high- speed train.‘
Leaning weakly in Ronald’s arms. Evelyn actually pretended to blush. She tried to regain her balance to break free from
Ronald’s embrace.
The beauty instantly left his arms, causing Ronald’s heart to instant feel empty and tingle with an itch.
If Ronald’s mother had not been sitting in the living room just now, he would have taken the opportunity to touch Evelyn’s little hands and wrap his arm around her waist. It was not like now, where Evelyn pulled her hand away after Ronald only
touched it once.
Fortunately, Evelyn’s face was flushed, and her eyes were filled with affection as she said to Ronald, “Ronald, I forgot about my foot injury earlier. Thanks for helping me.”
As she spoke, she limped toward Sophie.
However, she looked exceptionally delicate. Ronald had no choice but to catch up immediately. He took the opportunity to grab her arm again, saying, “Let me help you.”
This time, Evelyn blushed again, but she did not struggle to pull away from him anymore.
The two of them talking to each other with mutual affection simply angered Rebecca.
Rebecca thought, ‘When she was the heiress of the Dawson family, Ronald pursued her, but she didn’t even bother giving Ronald a glance! Now that she has become a fake, she is actually throwing herself at him! She is simply a vixen!‘
Seeing Evelyn leaning against her son, Rebecca got angry. She rolled her eyes angrily at the servant standing nearby and said, “What are you here for? Don’t you know how to help Miss Dawson? You still need Ronald to help her, huh?”

The servant who was scolded could not help but be stunned.
She thought, ‘Mr. Ronald is so proactive. There’s no way I dare to go forward.
However, since Rebecca had already said so, she could only step forward hurriedly to support Evelyn. She even said to Ronald, “Mr. Ronald, let me do it.”
Just like that, the servant squeezed between the two of them and pushed Ronald to the side.
He immediately looked resentful and could not help but roll his eyes at Rebecca,
He thought, ‘What the fuck is wrong with her? Didn’t she do everything she could to get me to woo Evelyn in the past? Now that Evelyn and I are a little closer, why does she pull a long face and even take the opportunity to separate us?”
Without waiting for Ronald to say anything, Rebecca grabbed his car and said, “Dinner is about to start. Let’s go. Follow me to the kitchen to help!”
Ronald said, “Hey! Mom. Mom, let go of me! What are you doing?” Ronald was extremely embarrassed and tried to pull
away.
However, Rebecca’s grip was very strong. She grabbed him tightly and refused to let go.
Ronald could only say reluctantly to Evelyn, “Evelyn, take a seat and wait for me. See you in a bit…”
“Alright,” Evelyn said as she nodded.
However, her eyes were cold.
She thought, ‘Ronald is easy to deal with, but that old witch is not easy to handle…‘
At this moment, Sophie and Roger had already sat down. Sophie glanced at Evelyn’s feet and invited her like a host, saying, “Evelyn, your foot is injured. Why don’t you take a seat and chat? The Nicholls family’s coffee is good coffee. Give it a try.”
Evelyn hated her tone and sat down with a look of disdain.
She thought, ‘If Sophie hadn’t called me over just now, I could have had more time to spend with Ronald.‘
The servant poured coffee for the three of them and also brought some snacks. Ronald could not see, so Sophie habitually picked up a piece and handed it to him.
Roger took it with a smile and tasted it one bite at a time. “It’s delicious,” he said. “Not bad. You should try it too.”
“Okay,” Sophie said with a faint smile. The two of them shared great mutual understanding and their relationship was exceptionally harmonious.
Evelyn could not help but feel resentful when she saw how sweet the two of them were.
She thought, ‘Damn Sophie. She has cozied up to the Nicholls family and is all lovey–dovey with Roger. But she can’t stand seeing me chatting with Ronald.‘

Chapter 110
At the thought of this, she could not help but say sourly, “I’m really envious of you for being so loving with Roger.“.
Sophie sarcastically teased her, “I see that things are developing pretty well between you and Ronald too. It’s only been a few hours and he’s already calling you Evelyn and being so concerned about you. This progress is really lightning–fast. But I remember the first time I saw you at the banquet, you seemed to ignore Mr. Ronald, right?”
Evelyn squinted. She knew that Sophie had seen through her, but she was not in a hurry to fall out with her. She continued to put on an act and said, “Isn’t it because I see you and Roger being lovey–dovey all the time? With Ronald as a benchmark, I’ve come to realize that the men in the Nicholls family should all have good character. Ronald is just fun–loving, but it’s indeed as you said. He cares about me.”
Seeing her shameless behavior, calling Ronald by his first name, and forcefully making herself look good by claiming that Ronald cared about her, Sophie was almost disgusted.
She could not help but smile and mock him behind his back. “Indeed, apart from being playful and frivolous, there’s nothing bad about Ronald,” she said. “But it’s not easy to get past Rebecca. In the past, she always hoped that she could cozy up to the real heiress of the Dawson family… Unfortunately, she didn’t expect you to be a fake. You saw her attitude just now. It’s not easy for you to cozy up to the Nicholls family.”
The word “fake” was now a sore point for Evelyn.
However, Sophie said such a word so readily.
Evelyn’s eyes were instantly filled with hostility.
She thought, ‘If it weren’t for the fact that I hadn’t won Ronald’s heart yet and hadn’t prepared a way out for myself, I would strangle her to death right now.’
However, she could only hold back at this moment. She forced a smile and said, “Yeah. I’m just a fake that everyone dislikes now. However, whether or not I would marry into the Nicholls family, you’ll find out later.”
She thought, ‘Sophie, let’s wait and see. You merely married a blind man from the Nicholls family! When I marry into this family, you’ll have a hard time!‘
Sophie said, “Oh? You’re so confident, Evelyn. Pretty good. I’ll look forward to it then.” Sophie snorted coldly, thinking that Evelyn was harboring unrealistic fantasies.
She thought, ‘She really has no idea about Ronald’s status in this family. He is nothing. Everything has to be decided by Rebecca, but she has probably offended Rebecca thoroughly today. And she still wants to marry into this family? It’s so darn difficult. But I do want to see how she fights with Rebecca in the future. It seems that Rebecca’s peaceful days are numbered…‘
