"Matthew, do I really look that terrifying?" Sophie suddenly chuckled, forcing a smile as she suppressed the murderous glint in her eyes.

She thought, I can't kill him yet. If I acted now, Father would undoubtedly suspect

me.

He has already been displeased with me recently.

If I wanted to act, it had to be at the perfect moment.

'Besides, I still need to squeeze every last bit of value out of Matthew. Otherwise,

all the effort I'd put into this charade would have been for nothing.

After calming herself, Sophie touched her bloodied face and, as usual, put on a pitiful expression. "Matthew, do you think! look hideous now? Is that why you don't care about me anymore?"

"What? No, of course not! That's not what I meant at all Matthew, who had been startled by her earlier gaze, quickly softened when he saw her tearful expression. "It's my fault! I must've been seeing things earlier. I'm sorry, Sophie. Please, don't cry, okay?"

"No, Sophie, that's not it." Matthew didn't expect Sophie to think like this. He panicked immediately, and the strange feeling that had risen in his heart just now disappeared in an instant

He hurriedly coaxed, "Don't say that. Diana is always like this. She hit you because of me."

The more Matthew spoke, the sadder he became.

Just as he coaxed Sophie, the second sentence became to speak for Diana.

Sophie immediately frowned.

She thought, This little bitch really has some means to make Matthew miss her so much.
