Chapter 523 Apologize To Her
After a while, Sophia suddenly chuckled and said, "I heard that Joel is the president of the Buick Group now. Oh, how I admire his way of living off a woman."
"What did you say?"
Amanda flew off the handle as her eyes widened in anger. She raised her hand and was about to slap her.
However, her hand stopped in mid-air.
With a smile on her face and two shallow dimples appeared right at the corner of her lips, she caught hold of Amanda's wrist forcefully.
"Are you mad at me? It's a pity that I am not the same person I was two years ago! Besides, my mother gave me 20% of the Buick Group's shares. Regardless of Joel's high position in the company, he is still working under me. Aren't you afraid that you might cause him to lose his job by slapping me?"
Amanda was stunned.
How could she forget that this woman still held 20% shares of the Buick Group? If it weren't for this reason, how would she agree to her to be with Joel back then?
"This lass. I haven't seen her for two years, but she has gotten so sharp-mouthed now!" Amanda thought.
Collin, who was not far away, saw that something was wrong. He quickly came over and asked, "What's happening?"
Amanda's facial expression immediately changed and she cried, "Oh dear, Collin! What's wrong with Sophia? I just came over to greet her out of goodwill. Why did she try to hit me just without any reason?"
Collin frowned. He knew what had happened between Joel and Sophia in the past. He subconsciously thought that Sophia had done something out of line because she was very upset about Joel.
So he reprimanded sternly, "Sophia, Amanda is your elder. How can you lay your hand on her?"
Seeing there was someone who backed her up, Amanda was crying even louder with tears all over her face. She was determined to make things difficult for Sophia.
Collin was a little angry. How could Sophia be so insensible?
"Sophia, apologize to Pattie now!"
"Apologize? Ha!"
Sophia couldn't help but sneer. When she held Amanda's hand just now, from a different perspective, it did seem that she was the one who had tried to hit her.
Nevertheless, how could his father believe in an outsider's words rather than hers without asking what had happened?
Sophia pursed her lips and felt a chill run down her spine. Two years ago, when she did something wrong, Collin had also chided her for not behaving herself without knowing the ins and outs of the matter.
"What if I don't apologize?"
"How dare you!"
Amanda was so angry that she laughed. "Is this how you teach your daughters? How could she not apologize and show no repentance after she had done something wrong? Hmph! It's no wonder at the age of eighteen, she was already seducing man in bed. Fortunately, Bell is nothing like her, if not, Joel won't marry her."
As soon as those snarky remarks reached Collin's ears, causing his face to turn ashen. He roared, "Sophia, I'm asking you to apologize to her!"
On the other hand, Sophia was mad too. She raised her voice and said, "I didn't hit her!"
"You don't admit it now? So many people have witnessed it just now, and you still want to deny it? I say, how could a young girl like you be so cunning?"
"Yeah! I saw it too. Sophia was the one who started it all. If we hadn't stopped her, she would have slapped Amanda already."
"How could she treat an elder like this? Did she forget her manners?"
Amanda and her friends took turns in distorting the truth. Trembling with anger, Collin raised his hand and slapped Sophia in the face.
Sophia was being slapped so hard that her head turned to the side. When the surrounding people saw this, they quieted down a little to watch the show.
At this time, Bell found that something was wrong and ran over from the stage.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Someone immediately told her what had just happened in a low voice.
After hearing this, Bell opened her eyes wide and said aggrievedly, "Sophia, how can you do this? Even if you are not happy that Joel and I are married, you shouldn't do this to the elders!"
Sophia was so angry that she was lost for words. How could they be so shameless?
She opened her mouth and tried to explain. "I didn't."
"That's enough!"
Joel suddenly opened his mouth and frowned. "Why did you ask her to come back here?"
After a pause, he suddenly said sarcastically, "Sophia, I told you two years ago that the person I like is Bell. Why don't you understand? Apart from me, can't you find any other man in the world? What's more, you fooled around with another man behind my back two years ago, and now you're pretending to be deeply in love with me?"
Sophia froze all of a sudden. She looked at Joel in disbelief.
She had never thought that he would say that.
Even if there was such a scandal two years ago, he had never hurt her with such demeaning words when they broke up.
But now...
Sophia's mind went blank as her tears blurred her vision.
However, at this moment, a low, magnetic voice could be heard.
"Who says she can't find a man?"
At the entrance, the crowd automatically made way for a tall and smart man surrounded by a dozen men in suits and sunglasses who was coming towards them.
Someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Oh my god! Who is this? He is too handsome!"
Sophia looked up and saw that man who led the group of people. He was tall, had sharp facial features and a deep-set pair of eyes. His powerful aura had overwhelmed everyone the moment he appeared. He was dressed in a tailored-made suit that looked quite expensive. After all, the suit had six sapphire cufflinks on it.
Who was this person?
All the single ladies present's eyes lit up. They came here to the wedding to socialize anyway, so at this moment, they couldn't wait to make their moves.
But the next second, their expressions changed!
He walked to Sophia's side. His tense face softened as he put his arm around Sophia's shoulders. In a reproachful voice, he said, "Didn't we agree that I'd accompany you here today. Why did you come here by yourself?"
Sophia was stunned. Her mind was in a fog.
What was going on?
Did she know him?
Also, what was up with these men in black? Did he think that he was filming a TV series now?
Sophia opened her mouth, but just when she was about to speak, a slender finger suddenly pressed on her lips.
The man curled up the corners of his mouth and smiled endearingly. "Well, I know you are worried that I'm busy with work, but we are married after all. Sooner or later, I have to meet your family, don't I?"
Sophia let out a bitter laugh. What the hell was he talking about?
When did she have a husband that herself did not know?
"Sir, I..."
Before she could finish her sentence, a wave of dizziness washed over her and made her go weak at the knees. Fortunately, the man was quick enough to hold her by her waist so that she did not fall.
What was going on?
Why did she feel so dizzy?
She knew how much she could drink. One or two glasses of red wine won't hurt her.
Before she could figure it out, she heard the man's cold voice above her head.
"Who accused my wife of hitting someone just now?"
