Chapter 512 Truly Impressed
Katherine supported her again, looked at Sophie, who seemed unable to walk out properly, and raised an eyebrow in frustration. She suggested, "Miss Jones, you don't seem to be in good shape. How about letting the Melville family's driver take you?"
Katherine wasn't really concerned about the person who had planned to harm her; she just thought that if Sophie left the Melville family in such a state and something happened on the way, it would be bad if it was blamed on the Melville family!
The Melville Group's stock market still needed time to recover, and they couldn't afford any negative publicity at this time.
Sophie waved her hand and shook her head firmly in refusal, saying, "No need, I can walk by myself! You don't have to worry about me!"
She didn't dare to take the Melville family's car because Alex was still had people scattered everywhere looking for her. The Melville family probably hadn't received any orders, and there was a delay in receiving information.
But if the Melville family's driver inadvertently reported to Alex and took her directly to the Melville Group, she would never be able to escape!
Sophie insisted on leaving by herself, opened the door with unsteady steps, paused, and turned to Katherine with a pleading tone, "Katherine, if you can, could you take me downstairs? If I see Mr. Melville and Mrs. Melville downstairs, I wouldn't know what to say to them..."
Katherine considered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and followed her out.
However, Jackie and Sandra were not downstairs; they had probably gone back to their room to rest, as they were all in the habit of taking afternoon naps.
In the downstairs living room, only Fiona was sitting on the sofa, bored, watching TV. She kept surfing through channels with the click of the remote control, seemingly in a restless mood.
Today, Nathan had something at school and couldn't come to tutor her, so she was very bored...
Hearing someone coming downstairs, Fiona turned her head and saw Sophie and Katherine walking down one after the other.
She remembered that she hadn't had a chance to greet Sophie earlier, so Fiona politely said, "Sophie, are you leaving already? Why not stay for dinner? Alex will be back tonight!"
In Fiona's impression, Sophie, Alex, and Hilton were good friends...
Sophie looked a bit dazed. Hearing Alex's name made her a bit scared, and she forced a smile at Fiona, "No need, Fiona, I have something to do. I'll treat you all to a meal another day!"
Feeling bored, Fiona turned off the TV with the remote and stood up. "Alright! Then I'll see you off!" she said nonchalantly.
Sophie's face changed slightly out of fear, and she politely waved her hand, "No need, Fiona, you can continue watching TV!"
Fiona had already stood up and walked over, shrugging as she reassured her, "It's okay, there's nothing good on TV anyway!"
Sophie fell silent.
Seeing this, Katherine said, "Alright, Miss Jones. Let Fiona take you to the door."
Then she turned to Fiona and instructed, "You'd better help Miss Jones get a cab; she's not feeling well."
Fiona, having nothing else to do, nodded obediently as she replied, "Okay!"
Seeing Fiona so obedient to Katherine, Sophie was a bit stunned. In her memory, Fiona was on Scarlett's side and really disliked Katherine.
Now, Fiona was accepting Katherine?
Fiona said to Sophie, "Let's go, Sophie. My sister-in-law just got home and needs to rest. I'll see you out."
Sophie came back to her senses, looked at Fiona, then at Katherine, who was about to go upstairs to rest, suddenly insist, "I think... Katherine, you should see me to the door."
Katherine paused and looked at Sophie.
Fiona frowned in disappointment and said, "Sophie, you don't want me to see you off?"
Sophie shook her head in denial and claimed, "No, I just suddenly remembered something I wanted to say to Katherine. You're still young, and some things are not for kids to hear."
Fiona puffed up her cheeks angrily and said, "Sophie, I'm not a kid anymore! I'm an adult!"
Sophie smiled helplessly and then ignored Fiona, looking at Katherine with a sincere expression, "Katherine, can you see me to the door? I just remembered I have a few last words to say to you about Alex..."
Katherine narrowed her eyes as she thought for a moment, and then agreed, "Okay."
Then she turned back, ready to follow Sophie out and see her to the door to hear what she had to say about Alex.
Now that Sophie knew Fiona's true nature, she might really tell her something important...But Fiona also followed them out.
After a few steps, Sophie noticed Fiona following them, stopped to look at her, and insisted, "Fiona, don't follow us. What I have to say to your sister-in-law is not suitable for children."
Fiona stubbornly crossed her arms, and refused, "No, I want to follow! I already said I'm not a child anymore. What's wrong with listening to something about my brother?"
Sophie frowned in frustration, she repeated, "It's something inappropriate for children. I can't say it in front of you."
Hearing the words "inappropriate for children," Fiona's eyes widened, her face turned slightly red, and she felt a bit embarrassed but still arrogantly insisted, "I'm an adult, not a child. There's nothing inappropriate for me to hear! I just want to listen, so what?"
Sophie was a bit helpless but still didn't want to accept Fiona following them, so she didn't move...
Seeing this, Katherine squinted her eyes slightly, then beckoned Fiona over with her finger.
Fiona saw Katherine calling her over, frowned, walked up to her, and asked, "What?"
Katherine leaned slightly and whispered something in her ear that only she could hear. Fiona's stubborn expression then disappeared, "I get it! I won't follow you anymore, okay? Hmph!"
After muttering, Fiona turned and went upstairs quickly.
Seeing Katherine easily handle the stubborn Fiona, Sophie asked in surprise, "What did you just say to Fiona?"
Katherine smiled slightly as she replied, "It's a secret."
Sophie frowned in disappointment then praised, "Katherine, I really admire you. You're amazing. Not only can you make a man like Alex devoted to you, but even Fiona, who used to hate you, now listens to you."
Katherine was indifferent to her praises and responded, "You're flattering me. Let's go, Miss Jones. I'll see you to the door. Didn't you have something inappropriate for children to say to me? I'm really looking forward to it!"
Sophie twitched her mouth shyly. The "inappropriate for children" reason was just an excuse to fool Fiona, a reason not to let her follow!
Did Katherine really think she had something inappropriate to say?
