Chapter 449

“Seet Group? Okay. I’ll be there right away,” Lisa responded as soon as she heard Sofie crying through
the phone.

She rushed over to Seet Group with Adam.

Adam began to grumble about Sofie, wondering how someone like her would ever be able to win Evan
over.

Lisa turned and glared at him. “If she were capable enough to do everything herself, we wouldn’t be
able to control her! We’re helping her precisely because she’s a bimbo! If she ends up marrying Evan,
she’ll be our pawn. Helping her now means helping ourselves!”

“Okay, okay. Don’t be so loud. Someone might hear us.”

“Seriously, why are you such a coward? You keep worrying about what you say. We’ll be able to say
whatever we want when we rise to power.”

Adam rolled his eyes at her. Even if we rise to power, that mouth of hers will be our downfall.

I have to find a way to change her!

The two caught sight of Sofie’s car before arriving at Seet Group.

“See? What’s with all the fuss? If Evan really wanted to kill her, she wouldn’t have had the chance to
call you for help.”

“Alright, alright. Let’s go back and find out what happened.”

Upon returning to Adam’s place, Lisa bumped into a tear-stricken Sofie. The latter woman looked like
she had gone through a lot.



After crying, Sofie took a shower and got changed before explaining everything that had happened.

Lisa slammed a hand on the table. “Such insolence! Come with me. I’m going to tell Russell about this.”

“What should we tell him, Aunt Lisa?”

Lisa crossed her arms as her eyes twinkled. “I’ll do the talking. All you’ll have to do is cry. Remember to
look as miserable as possible.”

“Okay.” Sofie nodded fervently.

The three of them arrived at the Seet Residence.

They got Jonathan to specifically call Russell over.

Sophia watched Sofie bawl her eyes out, puzzled as to what was going on.

Adam silently sat on the arched sofa as though anticipating a good show from Lisa.

“What’s going on?” asked Sophia.

Immediately, Sofie knelt before Russell.

In a state of bewilderment, the elderly man hurriedly asked what had happened.

Lisa deliberately evaded the serious matters and whitewashed all of Sofie’s actions, claiming that the
latter had been asked to serve Nicole like a slave.

Sofie was so kind to buy Nicole some fish and bone broth for breakfast, but Nicole didn’t like any of it.
That woman had thrown a fuss and even gotten Evan to pour the bone broth all over Sofie.



Sofie was supposed to be Evan’s assistant, whereas Nicole was the daughter of the woman who killed
Julia. How could she treat Sofie like this? How could she dare show herself at Seet Group and act like
a queen?

Sofie had received Russell’s permission to be there. The fact that Nicole was treating her like this
meant utter disrespect to Russell and the entire Seet family.

Finally, she pleaded loudly, “You have to stand up for Sofie, Dad! Also, if you think Nicole gets to have
a say in Seet Group, that means you’ve forgiven her for killing Mom. I’ll kneel before her grave and tell
all her ancestors that from now on, we’ll welcome Nicole with a smile and treat her—”

Before she could finish, Russell’s face turned horribly grim.

“I’m not dead yet!” he roared as he struck the floor with his cane. “No one gets to order the Seet family
around! Take me to Seet Group this instant, Jonathan!”

Sophia’s chest tightened. The old man was clearly boiling with rage now.

What’s going to happen if he goes over?

I can’t imagine it.

No. I have to let Evan know.

Just as she was about to head back upstairs, Lisa called out to her.

“Come with us, Sophia.”
