There was apparent mockery as well as jealousy in their tones, in their laughs. They all despised her. Miya heard pretty much all that they said, yet she remained quiet and pretended that she had not heard anything.When it was about clock out time, it suddenly went quiet in the office. Miya was working on an interior design sketch when she realized the sudden silence. She looked up from her laptop and saw Xenon coming. Everyone greeted courteously, "Good afternoon, Mr. Xenon Uba."Miya stood up immediately and accidentally bumped her knees at the leg of the table. "Ouch." she cursed quietly.Xenon stood by the door, a hand in his pocket, and looked at Miya coldly. No one dared to look at him directly except Miya, and Miya noticed the awkward silence and intention. She opened her mouth as if to say something but didn't know what to say.Xenon beckoned Miya and turned around to leave.Without hesitation, Miya hurried after him.When she followed

Sitting next to him was an elegantly dressed beautiful lady, who must be in her seventies, butlooked only around fifty years old.Her hair had also turned gray, but she looked bright and healthy.Xenon was sitting next to his grandfather, both appeared emotionless. They look so alike. Miya thought, not just their face, but also the way they carry themselves.Benjamin opened his eyes wide at the sight of Miya, but he quickly resumed his cold andemotionless look. She looks just like Sol Keaton! He thought. He wasn't pleased with it at all.Miya noticed the change on Benjamin's face and her heart sank. She glanced at senior Mrs.Uba, who looked at Miya coldly and quickly turned toJameson with a smile. "Jameson, i've missed you so much." She beckoned him. "I wish you could come to visit more often. Why don't we get together every week instead?"Jameson wènt over and gave her a hug. "| I miss you too." He said gently. It was obvious that she had completely ignored Miya.Miya hesitated. Sh

Miya recalled what Jodie had suggested to her. I should show her i'm not just a meek little lamb,or I will just get bullied. I have to put up with Xenon and his grandparents just because Xenonis paying for mum's treatment, but I don't have to put up with her!"Don't you threaten me with my mother!" Miya suddenly picked up a knife on the table andpointed it at Sophia. "If you ever hurt my mother, as long as l live, I will slice your facę and take revenge!"Frightened, Sophia staggered and stared at Miya open-mouthed. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had been brought up spoiled by her brother and father. No one ever dared to say no to her. Miya was the first person that ever challenged her. Just as she was to shout back at Miya, she noticed Xenon hadi just arrived, standing at the door. Immediately, she changed her attitude again and spoke gently, "It takes patience and love to cook, especiąlly for someone we love. It's ok that you don't know how to cook.I can show

The more she thought about it, the more enraged she felt. "Xenon, are you keeping her with you merely for the reason that she looks like your ex?"Xenon was very protective of Sol, and Sophia never had the chance of meeting her. She didn't even know Sol's name. She actually planned to get rid of Sol when she found out that Xenon was in love with her, but she hardly knew anything about her, and she couldn't hurt her."It's none of your business," Xenon replied coldly."I mean, if this is the face you like, I can even have plastic surgery and make myself look like her. Please just divorce her. She's ..""Sophia Moore, however you change yourself, I won't be interested in you at all," Xenon saidsternly."Why?!""Because you're soulless. Whatever you look like, I don't even want to take a look at you."Miya had been listening quietly, intending not to interfere, but hearing Xenon's reply, she almost chuckled.Miya had thought that she would probably be insulted again on the way home, but

Jacob was rather shocked. "You have come to tell us Xenon's order and watch us?"Kevin looked apologetic, but he nodded. "Yes. It's Mr. Xenon Uba's order."This is too much. To ask a woman to walk home in this pouring rain! Jacob thought and gave Xenon a call."Xenon, aren't you being too cruel to her?" Jacob asked."Ha. Why? Don't you think you care too much about her?" Xenon sneered."This is between her and me. You'd better stay away, or l shall be cruel to her.""Xenon," Before Jacob could explain, Xenon hung up. Angered and frustrated, Jacob punched the steering wheel."'Sorry, I..l can't help you." He looked at Miya apologetically.Miya shivered in the rain and smiled a bitter smile, "As long as you don't play any more tricks on me, l will be grateful to you." Shekept on walking.Kevin followed behind with an umbrella. Jacob watched them, feeling more frustrated than ever.I shouldn't have talked to him about dignity or freedom. How stupid i am!I can't show myemotions. I can't
