Chapter 266 Who Do You Think You Are?
Chapter 266 Who Do You Think You Are?
"Who do you think you are?"
People at present all knew the reason why Roman was pursuing Sophia.
If Sophia's boyfriend wasn't Drake, many guys would have approached her for the same reason.
The Lawson family was so powerful. If they could get Sophia, they would also get the support of the
Lawson family.
Drake had been staring at Roman with squinted eyes all the time.
Roman wasn't scared and locked eyes with Drake.
After a long time, Drake finally said impatiently, "Get lost!"
Roman said stubbornly, "Drake, you can't control Sophia's thoughts. If Sophia likes me, you must let us
be together."
Everyone gasped. God, who gave him the courage to say such words in front of so many people?
"Sophia likes you?"
Everyone felt the horrifying and powerful vibe from Drake.
Roman clasped his hands. He told himself that he was absolutely capable of fighting with Drake.
"Who do you think you are?"
Drake had said this sentence twice to him. Hearing it, Roman bit his lip.
When Drake turned around and left, he shouted, "Drake, do you think you are great? You are having
everything just because Grandpa is biased towards you! If I was the one who took over the company
back then, I can also make the company as successful as it is now!"
He was really not ashamed to say that!
Roman was in charge of the Riley Group some time ago. Everybody knew how he lost power. But it
seemed he didn't remember.
How dared he compare himself with Drake?
Drake turned around and sneered. "Roman, if I want, you'll be kicked out right now!"
"I don't believe it!"
"Just wait and see!"
Drake rarely did this kind of thing to Roman because he didn't think it was necessary. But today,
Roman provoked him.
"Guards, throw Master Roman out!"
Mayor Owen's birthday party was held in his house. Roman knew that Drake was powerful, but he
didn't expect Drake would actually order Mayor Owen's men in front of Mayor Owen!
Yet to Roman surprise, Mayor Owen's men came over and threw him out.
Olivia said, "Mayor Owen..."
Mayor Owen shrugged. "This is your family matter. I'm not in a position to say anything!"
People all understood now, even those who weren't sure whether to support Drake or Roman.
So did Olivia.
She nodded. "Alright. But don't bother. We'll leave by ourselves."
Taking Roman's hand, she left.
Roman was upset. Outside the house, he asked, "Mom, what are you doing? Things wouldn't be like
this if you didn't intervene."
Olivia said with great disappointment, "Didn't you understand why Drake showed up with Sophia
today?"
Roman answered, "He wants to make their relationship public. But I don't care. They haven't gotten
married yet. Who knows who Sophia will choose?"
"Idiot!" Olivia thought that her son was smart. But now, she realized that Roman was foolish when it
came to love.
"Listen, Roman, Drake brought Sophia today not only to make their relationship public but also to tell
people that the head of the Riley family won't change. The Riley Group can only be his. Do you
understand?"
Roman thought carefully. "Mom, do we still have a chance to succeed?"
Hearing his question, Olivia felt that her son was not totally hopeless.
"Succeed?" Of course, we will! Today is Mayor Owen's birthday. Do you know why we came here? "
Roman looked at Olivia, puzzled.
"The election of the mayor is around the corner. Most people who came here today are Owen's
supporters. But there are still some people who support Zain. On the surface, I am trying to please
Mayor Owen. In fact, Zain and I have met many times in private."
Roman instantly understood. "But, Mom, I heard Zain handed over an important project to Sophia. He
and Sophia are on good terms, aren't they?"
"Zain is smart. He wants to be in power but he doesn't want anyone to notice it. He gave the project to
Sophia instead of his real brother just to cover up his ambition."
Olivia didn't want to tell Roman about these things, but after seeing what he'd done today, she felt she
should.
"One more thing, by giving the project to Sophia, he wished Sophia could stand with us."
Roman became excited. "So, I can go on pursuing Sophia?"
"Yes. But don't do crazy things!"
Roman nodded. "I see, Mom, I'll be careful!"
Roman had thought Olivia disapproved of his pursuing of Sophia. He didn't expect Olivia to say so.
The point was, no one else was good enough for him except Sophia.
With Olivia's support, Roman was more confident.
...
After Roman and Olivia left, many people tried pleasing Sophia.
They could see that no matter who was to control the Riley family, Sophia would benefit from it.
So, as long as they could please Sophia and win her favor, it was much easier for them to ask for her
help in the future.
When Mayor Owen and Drake were chatting alone in the corner, Mayor Owen said in a low voice,
"Your girlfriend is very charming."
"I don't think those guys are attracted to her charm. They just want the support of the four Pinkerton
families behind her!"
"Well, I think Sophia can offer more than that. Don't forget the government of Pinkerton is also
supportive of the Lawsons. Thus, Roman refuses to quit pursuing Sophia no matter what."
"Mayor Owen, you should know that I am together with Sophia purely because I like her."
"Of course, I know, but I mean, you can't let your brother get her. Otherwise, things will be tricky for us."
Drake smiled. "Mayor Owen, don't you trust me?"
"Of course I trust you. After all, no one except you knows that Harris Sutton will take over my place and
I will be promoted into a higher position. Zain doesn't have any chance."
Drake understood. "Don't worry. Nothing will get in your way!"
Mayor Owen reached out and patted Drake on the shoulder.
Mrs. Watts had been staying with Sophia, "So, don't hang out with them all the time. Play cards with us
occasionally. If you are to stay in Sealand, you should fit into our friend circle."
Sophia smiled. "Sure, just call me whenever you need someone to join the game." Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
"I'm glad to hear that."
Chloe smiled. "If Sophia doesn't have time, you guys can call me."
