Chapter 364

"What's all this about?" Sophia snapped, her eyes blazing as she glared at Henny.

"You've crossed the line. You're not welcome here-get out."

Henny's expression turned icy. "You're kicking me out? Do you realize what this means?"

"I'll report this straight to the Montclairs. You're throwing away your chance to become the matriarch."

"Whatever, Get out!" Sophia yelled.

"N-No! Sophia, control yourself," Florence quickly interjected, forcing an awkward smile despite the redness spreading across her face.

"It's my fault entirely. Serving such low-quality tea to Madam Henny was unforgivable. Of course, you deserve only the finest. This mistake is mine."

Clarissa sneered, her voice dripping with disdain. "What pathetic groveling."

Henny shifted her cold gaze to Sophia.

"Sophia, what are you standing around for? Apologize immediately to Madam Henny," Florence pleaded, her voice desperate.

Sophia shook her head stubbornly. "Forget it, Mom. I refuse to bow to her. Let the Montclairs decide-I won't be their pawn."

She spun on her heels, ready to leave.

"Stop right there," Henny barked sharply, throwing a venomous glance Sophia's way.

"Do you really think your dear grandma Betty can protect you? Let me enlighten you-the Montclairs are still divided."

"Right now, barely half support you. You need my help if you want to become the Matriarch and eventually the Governor of Paris."

With a dramatic slam of her hand on the table, she leaned in, eyes blazing.

"With my support, the governorship is all but guaranteed. All you have to do is show a little respect... and pour me a drink."

Florence's eyes widened urgently.
