Win Your Heart

Chapter 2 Love Rival (Part One)

As soon as Sophia closed her bedroom door behind her, she left out a deep sigh. From the very beginning, she never really liked Stellar. But earlier, when Stellar defended her, it seemed that she had nothing to do with Caspar's ploy.

There was a growing sadness in Sophia's heart. Caspar was the only family she had, and yet he had done nothing but treat her so badly.

'Maybe I should just leave this house, ' Sophia thought as she slumped onto her bed.

For a while, Sophia stared blankly at the ceiling as she considered the possibility of just running away. Then, her phone suddenly rang. It was a WeChat message from Peter.

It was a little strange that he messaged her all of a sudden. Peter just gotten a job right after graduating from college. Because of this, he was always busy, and seldom contacted Sophia.

The moment she clicked on the WeChat app, Sophia's heart dropped to her stomach. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

In Peter's message, there was a photo of him naked... and kissing a different woman! The woman's face was secluded, and only her bare arm was showing.

At that moment, Sophia felt like her head was about to explode!

How could the man she had been dating for two years betray her like that!

Just when Sophia was about to angrily question him, she saw Peter had withdrawn the photo. Then, he sent her a short message. "Hey, are you busy?"

'What do I say?' Sophia thought nervously. Her phone was lightly shaking in her hands.

After a few minutes, Sophia came back to her senses and shook her head determinedly. After carefully thinking it through, Sophia replied, "Sorry for the delayed reply! I was doing something. I didn't see your message right away."

Sophia and Peter chatted with each other like they normally would. In fact, Peter didn't even act suspicious at all. "Would you like to have dinner later?" Peter then messaged.

Sophia still couldn't wrap her head around the photo she just saw. But her strong woman's intuition told her that Peter probably wasn't the one who sent that photo to her. It was most likely the woman in the photo who sent it, and she was probably with Peter right at this moment.

'I can't believe that Peter would betray me like this...' Sophia sobbed in her heart. 'If all of this is true, I can never forgive him! He's always been so kind... How can he do this!'

…… In the evening, Stellar went to Sophia's room. Even though Stellar was just at home, she always dressed up elegantly. But, no matter how good she looked all the time, it still couldn't hide her heinous evil face.

Unless she was with Casper, Stellar always had a cold and disdainful expression on her face in front of Sophia.

"Since you are the daughter of Jian family, you should know how much your actions have an effect on others. Our company has not been doing so well lately. I know that you are aware of this, Sophia. We are getting buried with debt! And if Wade is unwilling to cooperate with us, the JH Group will be bought by the YS Group. It could mean the end for Jian family!"

Sophia looked up at Stellar and narrowed her eyes. "What does any of this have to do with me?"

A bitter smile flashed across Stellar's face. She did not expect Sophia would talk like this. In the past, Sophia barely spoke, and even if she did, she had never spoken to Stellar this way. "You think you can

enjoy all the luxuries around you without lifting a finger?" Stellar said angrily. "Tell me, how do you think you've got everything you have right now? Because of money! There's a storm brewing, Sophia. If Jian family is done, you're going down with it. Wade loves women. He is easier to please than you think. If you are not even able to handle him, how could you possibly think that you will be able to hand the JH Group in the future? I can assure you that your father is very displeased with you. He will never agree to your relationship with Peter!"

Sophia curled her lips and sneered at Stellar. "If it's so important, why didn't you make Jenny go then? Why did it have to me? We both know who will get the JH Group. There's no need to pretend. There's no doubt that the company will go to Jenny. But frankly, I don't really care! What's more, you should all mind your own business and leave my relationship with Peter alone! I can do whatever I want!"

Jenny Jian was two years younger than Sophia, and was the biological daughter of Stellar. Of course, Stellar loved her daughter very much. How could she send her daughter to the old lecher Wade's bed!

But Sophia had a mother too. She was also her mother's loving daughter!

With a scoff, Sophia grabbed her handbag and stood up to leave.

"And where do you think you're going?"

"I'm going out to get some fresh air so you don't have to see me,"

Sophia snapped back as she marched out the door. After storming out of the house, Sophia went straight to Peter's apartment.

Peter's family was not as well-off as she was, and so Sophia was the one who had been paying for his rent. It wasn't a big deal for her since she had always thought that they would get married sooner or later. But after seeing that photo....

Sophia didn't call Peter to let him know that she was coming over. What she wanted to do was surprise him and possibly catch him cheating. Plus, she wanted to confront him about the photo face to face.

At first, Sophia had held onto a slither of hope that maybe Peter wasn't really cheating on her. But as soon as she reached his front door, she heard a muffled sound coming from inside.

'Is that... a woman's voice?!'

The anger and betrayal swallowed up Sophia.

Her knees wobbled weakly. 'My dead mother is probably the only one in this world who really loves me. My father... My boyfriend... No one can help me aside from myself!'

Sophia's heart was surging, but her face was surprisingly calm! Not even a single tear rolled from her eyes.
