Chapter 69 A Warning From Victor's Mother
With a miserable look on Teresa's face, she struggled quietly, "Mom, I..."
When Grace saw them act like this, she felt a bit sorry for them. She looked as if she wanted to make a
decision for Teresa and said, "even if Victor treats you as his sister, there's still affection between you
tow. To say the least, even if you don't have feelings for each other, you can be cultivated again.
Marriage is not a game. In the end, I believe that Victor will respect my decision and Xiao family's
decision! "
When Grace finished speaking, she glanced at Sophia who was sitting opposite her, as if she was
saying it to Sophia on purpose.
The content of the conversation, which Sophia hadn't paid much attention to, happened to meet
Grace's eyes. She was stunned.
Grace knew that Victor's attention was not on Teresa. Therefore, no matter how hard Teresa tried to
approach him, it didn't work at all. But now, with what Grace had said, Sophia felt very complicated!
As the only daughter-in-law in Xiao family, Teresa would definitely marry to Victor...
At the thought of this, Sophia's face turned white.
Victor noticed that Sophia's situation. He wanted to comfort her and make it clear today.
So he opened his mouth calmly, "my career is currently going up, so I'll consider marrying her in a few
years. And it's a matter between two people. Don't bother mom and aunt Connie. "
Victor shot Sophia a glance of relief. It seemed that he had a magic power that could ease her mood.
The three women who were talking warmly suddenly stopped.
Enraged by her son's remarks, Grace was unable to keep her glass steady. She kept shaking the wine
in her glass.
It looked like a storm was coming.
Paying no attention to the expression on Grace's face, Teresa was about to continue the topic. "It's
okay," she said...
Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by the wink of Connie.
Connie was a clever woman that she knew she couldn't win against Victor, but both she and her
daughter had made Grace stand on their side. That was enough for them. She believed that even if
Victor was unwilling to let his marriage be controlled, he would finally have to listen to the orders of
Grace.
"Oh right, Grace, I saw you wear a handmade Cape last time. Is it tailor-made?"
Connie quickly shifted the topic. She didn't want the people at the dining table to blow up because of
Teresa's thing.
Grace nodded her head, she still didn't get over it. She paused for a moment and replied, "we hired an
independent designer of northern Europe. It's not for sale. But if you like it, you can take it to you..."
Connie waved her hand at Grace and gave her another compliment.
The dinner was like a Shura field, so many people were thinking about something.
"Grace, I'm sorry to have bothered you so long today. You must be very tired. I'll take Teresa back.
Have a good rest too,"
Since there was a bad atmosphere in Xiao mansion, and it was improper to stay here for a long time,
Connie wanted to leave with Teresa right away.
Teresa didn't want to leave, but she could do nothing but follow her mother's order as her hand held her
tighter.
"Aunt Grace, if you want more soup, you can call me at any time!" Teresa gave a glance at Victor with a
smirk on her face, pretending that she didn't want to leave him. And then she turned around and left
with Connie.
As soon as they got on the car sent to pick them up, Teresa pushed her hand off and complained.
"My dear god, what happened to you? You were fine just now, weren't you?"
Connie helplessly, who was a little confused by the scene made by Teresa.
"Why did you take me away in such a hurry? That woman had chance to get close to them!"
Teresa stared at Connie and shouted. Her pretty face was distorted because of anger, and she didn't
look cute at all as she used to be in front of Xiao family.
"Didn't you see the expression on Grace's face? We've already done what we should do. Now, we only
need to use Grace's hands to separate them. We don't need to get involved now. We can keep on
fighting. Why don't we be patient?"
Looking at her daughter's disgusted expression, Connie said disappointedly.
After Teresa carefully pondered her mother's words and thought that it was quite reasonable. As long
as Xiao family's minds were under their control, everything would be fine.
Her twisted face broke into a fit of laughter again. She embraced her mother and coaxed, "it's all my
fault. I'm so childish. Mom, you're so considerate!"
At this moment, in Xiao mansion.
"Mom, I got to go now. Take care of yourself and have a good rest," Victor who was about to head
home said to Grace.
With a livid face, Grace cast a glance at her son and Sophia, and said in a low but majestic voice,
"please stay for a moment. I have something to talk with you."
Victor quietly ordered Sophia to get in the car first.
When Grace saw the petite and weak figure get out of her sight, she closed the door. Only then did she
feel relieved and talk to Victor.
She walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down. "Are you falling in love with that woman called
Sophia?" She asked, standing straight.
Grace sounded a little tired, but emanating a powerful aura.
"Anyway, I won't be with Teresa. You'd better give up."
Victor looked calm and determined.
Grace said to him. She knew that her son had always been a man of his own opinions. She couldn't
force him to love Teresa. Hence, Grace's tone softened a little. As she was about to proceed step by
step, she continued, "do you know the origin, family background of Sophia?"
"I know what to do."
Knowing his mother's words' meaning, Victor retorted stiffly.
Seeing that her son didn't yield to either persuasion or coercion, she had to make another
breakthrough. "Teresa is a good girl with deep affection. You should know that she has loved you for so
many years. She is so docile and obedient that she would like to be with you. A obedient woman
means a lot to every man in our family. "
She tried her best to comfort Victor, but seeing that he was expressionless, she continued, "and you
should know, if you two get married, An family will cooperate with us to attack other companies. In a
word, it's a favorable situation for both me and Xiao family. "
"As the ruler of the YS Group, from the moment you were born, your marriage was definitely not pure."
The expression on Victor's face was cold. He walked to the French windows and stared at the night.
By this time, it was dark outside. For the first time, he felt disappointed in this family.
He wanted to refute his mother, but he finally gave up and said coldly, "I know these things as well."
Outside Xiao family's house, a woman, sitting in Victor's car, was waiting for him anxiously.
It wasn't difficult for Sophia to understand the situation. Today, Victor took her to Xiao family's house for
dinner. Since he was still here, the subject must about her...
It was a little stuffy in the car. The cold wind blew in from the outside, which made Sophia feel more
awake.
There was no need to continue the conversation. After all Victor had expressed himself, and the people
outside was waiting for him. So he turned around and was ready to leave.
Standing behind Victor, Grace said severely, "Sophia will make you in trouble. I hope you can take your
time to reconsider your relationship with Teresa. She is the best choice for you to get married..."
"You will regret it if you insist!"
Grace's voice echoed in Victor's ear. But even so, he didn't care about it.
Then Sophia looked out of the window and saw a tall and familiar figure walking towards her.
Her long hair was a bit disheveled by the cold wind, but she was not in the mood to care for it. She just
looked away lightly.
"Are you cold?"
Victor walked up to her and felt heartbroken to see her in low spirits.
Then she looked away and tidied up her hair and clothes unnaturally.
"What's wrong?"
The woman in front of him didn't say anything, so Victor asked her again.
"Go back,"
Sophia massaged her temples, closed her eyes and leaned against the seat, without saying anything.
As Victor didn't get an answer he wanted, he felt distressed and sad.
He fought against the whole family for the woman beside him. But what Sophia did? He even doubted
what he was in her heart!
Victor floored the gas pedal and the car flew out immediately.
Sophia was frightened that she grabbed the seat belt next to her, but she remained silent, biting her lip.
Victor glanced at Sophia and thought, 'what a stubborn woman.'
But since she left Xiao family, she was in a bad mood. Instead, Victor was worried about her.
He stopped what he was doing and was about to explain what happened tonight to this woman.
"My mother asked me to stay here..."
Sophia interrupted him, when Victor opened his mouth. She was afraid that she had heard something
improper. She said with a frown, "Mr. Victor, you don't need to explain your private affairs to me one by
one."
Sophia's words broke the peace in Victor's heart. He wanted to comfort her, but his explanation had
unwittingly become a sting to the other's heart. He said, "my mother likes Teresa very much."
A piece of sadness flashed through Sophia's eyes.
"Yes, I see. You mother praised Miss Teresa at the dinner. Mr. Victor and Miss Teresa look like a good
match."
She said expressionlessly, making it sound that her tone did not change as before.
Although Sophia was trying to hide, she felt a faint pain in her body.
Any arrangement for this man and his family would be left to them. Anyway, she did not care about it.
Nor did she have the right to care about it.
"Do you really think so?"
Before she could finish her words, Victor interrupted impatiently.
That was not what he wanted to say, nor what he wanted to hear!
"Does it matter what I think? After all, I'm just an outsider." She said honestly. Suddenly she felt a little
calm and complaint.
For the whole night, Sophia was all bullied by Xiao family and An family, and their remarks were always
directed at her. She really couldn't think of any other reason for her to stay there.
If she hadn't met Greg, perhaps Sophia wouldn't have suffered this...
Victor wanted to retort, but he couldn't say anything.
