Chapter 88 Lobby

Teresa laughed as well. Sophia's good day was finally coming to an end! She then put her arms around
her mother's arm and said in a pettishly charming manner, "thank you, mother. What are you waiting
for? Let's hurry to godmother's home!" As she spoke, Teresa was about to take Connie out of the door.

"Wait!" "Behave well when we meet your godmother later. You know everything that Sophia had done
when you meet her the YS Group, and I don't believe that your godmother will allow such a woman to
marry into Xiao family," she said to Teresa. With these words, Connie hummed coldly.

After telling Teresa to change into decent clothes and prepare some gifts, they went to Xiao family
together. When they arrived at Xiao family's door, Connie took out her phone to check the time. She
knew that since it wasn't the off-duty time of the YS Group, Victor must not be at home.

They rang the doorbell and a servant opened the door. When the servant of Xiao family saw them, she
bowed respectfully and greeted, "Mrs. Connie, Miss Teresa, Mrs. Grace is in the ward. Please follow
me."

Then he led them to the living room and said to Grace, who was lying on the reclining chair in the living
room and reading newspaper with a pair of glasses, "Mrs. Grace, Mrs. Connie and Miss Teresa are
here."

"Okay." Grace folded the newspaper, put it aside and sat up straight. After tidying up her clothes, she
stood up and greeted them with a smile. "Connie, Teresa, why didn't you tell me that you would come
here today? In this way, I can ask the kitchen to prepare more food for you." Grace said with a smile.

"It won't bother you at all. I just have something to do and bring Teresa here to show us around."
Connie smiled and waved her hands.

When Grace saw the gifts in the hands of Connie, she smiled and said, "you don't have to bring
anything for me. I'm so embarrassed. Have a seat!"



After they sat down on the sofa, Grace looked at Teresa and asked with a smile, "do you see Victor
recently, Teresa?"

After a pause, Teresa lowered her head and slightly shook her head. She looked rather upset and
pitiful.

Seeing her behave like this, Grace understood that her son didn't treat Teresa nicely. Grace sighed
slightly and persuaded Teresa, "you know, it's not easy for him to take all the responsibility of the YS
Group alone. He has no background to see you. Please forgive him, Teresa. If you don't have any
relationship with Victor, just come to the YS Group more often, because your relationship has already
developed. Victor is not hardhearted. Am I right?"

"I..." Teresa raised her head and wanted to say something, but finally she lowered her head and bit her
lips, without saying anything. Teresa pouted. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she had suffered great
grievances.

When Grace saw that Teresa looked like she was about to cry again, she was a little dissatisfied, but
she didn't show anything on her face. Instead, she smiled faintly and said, "look at you. You can tell me
anything you want to say. If Victor bullies you, I will support you."

"I agree. There is nothing you can't say to your godmother. Tell your godmother everything you see.
Don't keep her in the dark."

Teresa raised her head, hesitated. Then she said with hesitation, "I... I brought lunch to the YS Group
the other day. I think since Victor is so busy with his work, it may not be good for his health. So I went
to have a meal with him. "

"You are so considerate and you are still worried about Victor." Upon hearing this, Grace gave her a
satisfied smile.



"But... But the moment I entered Victor's office, I saw... Sophia. And Victor... " Speaking of this, Teresa
lowered her head and blushed. It seemed that she had thought of something extremely shameful.

However, it didn't cross Grace's mind. She thought that as a girl who had grown up into a respectable
family, Teresa's shyness gave Grace the chance to guess what sort of relationship between Victor and
Sophia.

Victor was her son, so she believed that Victor couldn't seduce a female secretary actively in the office,
then there was only one possibility: Sophia seduced his son! Grace had a bad impression of Sophia.
Now, she looked even more depressed!

Looking at the expression on Grace's face, Connie knew that she had achieved her goal, but it was not
enough! 'What's more, I need to try harder, 'she thought! "I should have let it go. I know Victor doesn't
like Teresa, so I won't force him to accept Teresa. But I have watched Victor grow up. Even if he
doesn't be with my daughter, he should find a decent girl. It's really hard to be with such a woman... "
With these words, Connie shook her head and let out a heavy sigh.

When Grace saw this, she was surprised and asked, "Connie, do you know that Sophia well?"

"I don't know her well. But I found that Victor loves her so much, so I inquired about her. But you don't
know Sophia... "

"I feel ashamed to tell you what she has done! I heard that her private life is very chaotic. I wonder how
many men she has slept with!"

"Really?" Being a virtuous daughter from a noble family, Grace had never seen such a lewd thing
before. With knitted eyebrows, she shook her head and said, "why would Victor be with such a
woman?"

"Yes, you're right!" "And do you know Grace? She is Jian family's daughter. "



"Jian family?" With a perplexed expression, she asked, "Caspar?"

Connie nodded her head and said, "except for Caspar, who else in the city has done business with?"

"I remember that he only has one daughter named Jenny. This Sophia is..."

"As an illegitimate child." answered Connie with disdain. Sophia's mother was not Caspar's wife. I
heard that she was Caspar's ex-girlfriend. She got pregnant years ago. But she finally broke up with
Caspar!" Connie spoke in a vivid way as if she was telling a story. She also added a few physical words
from time to time.

Back then, people were not so open-minded. Shotgun marriage was not as popular as nowadays. On
the contrary, it could be said to be disgraceful if one got pregnant before marriage, not to mention that
the two had not been together after getting pregnant before marriage.

Grace didn't think that a pregnant woman like Sophia's mother before marriage was a good person.
With a snort of contempt, she snorted, "it's true. Like mother, like daughter. Mother is dissolute and
daughter is a loose woman! No, I can't allow Victor to be with such a woman! "

Then, Grace turned to Teresa and said sincerely, "Teresa, godmother knows that you have a crush on
Victor. The reason why Victor leave you alone now is that he is still bewitched by that coquette. You'd
better work harder. Go and visit Victor more often. I'm sure he will gradually fall in love with you. "

When Connie saw that Grace had a very bad impression of Sophia, she could not help but give a
smile, feeling very satisfied. Grace had also persuaded Teresa to go to meet Victor more often.

But that was not enough at all! She had to ask Grace to give her some practical instruction.

After thinking for a while, Connie said to Grace, "Grace, you see our daughter has always liked Victor,
so I'm willing to do anything for them. You just said that you hoped that our daughter could be together



with Victor. Why don't you just let them get engaged directly? Victor is a filial child and he should not
disobey you!"

"Engaged?" After pondering over it for a while, Grace shook her head and disagreed, "No. Victor is
absolutely mesmerized by that coquette. If he is forced to get engaged to Teresa now, he will be
disgusted with us. What's more, he had been stubborn since he was a child. If someone forced him to
do that at this moment, it would be bad to Teresa. We should take further consideration about the
engagement!" No one knew his son better than Grace. As a persistent person, it was difficult to change
what Victor had decided.

Hearing the word "long-term thought", Connie was quite dissatisfied. And that foxtress was trying every
means to lure Victor. If he with that woman now, he would have a closer relationship with her. If they
had a better plan, Connie was afraid that at last Victor would have a wedding with Sophia, and there
will be nothing to do with Teresa! 'No, I can't let it go like this!'

Although Connie was not satisfied with the result, she still forced a smile on her face and said, "you're
right. I know that Victor has his own opinions since he was a child. However... But it's impossible for
you to let Sophia mess up with Victor! It's nothing for us to be kept in the dark before. Now we have
known what kind of person Sophia is. How can we just let Victor go on being wrong?"

Grace fell into silence. On the one hand, she felt that Connie's words were reasonable. On the other
hand, she was well aware that it was not easy to persuade Victor to stay away from Sophia. She was in
a dilemma!

Since Grace didn't listen to her, Connie had to play her trump card. She looked at Grace and said, "I've
heard that..." After saying this, she began to deliberately keep Grace in suspense, unwilling to
continue.
