Sophia immediately rose to her feet in shock. She could not believe what she heard.
Julian looked at her with dissatisfaction. “I have seen girls like you a lot. You wanted to connect with the royal family, whether it’s the younger son or the elder son. But let me make it clear to you. My elder son is no joke. He is a very sharp minded man. Each step he takes is very calculated. If you think he is in love with a weak omega like you, you are just wasting your time.”
Juliana looked impatient. She stood up and glared at her. “Leave my son. You are no match for him. He needs a powerful lady who can rule this pack with him rather than a naive and weak omega who always roams around him like a puppet.”
Her words broke Sophia’s heart. She knew she was an omega, but why did it matter to Bryan’s mother? Why couldn’t an omega stand next to a head Alpha? Why did the Moon Goddess make omegas the weakest rank?
“Don’t overthink, girl. Just take the check and leave my pack. By doing so, no one will get to know that you are his mate. He will not have to worry about his position either.”
Sophia cast a glance at the check. Juliana’s lips formed a grin as she noticed this.
She took the check and made her way to Sophia. She handed it to her and said calmly,
“Think about it, Sophia. With this money, you can do whatever you want. Only a foolish girl will resist money when it’s placed on the plate in front of her.”
With a smile for Juliana, Sophia tightly grasped the check.
Juliana thought Sophia had accepted the check. So she let out a sigh of relief. It was like she had been feeling worried about it for a long time.
“I knew it. I knew that you wouldn’t resist this amount of mon–.”
Juliana paused when Sophia tore the check in front of her.
Sophia’s eyes were fixed on the check when she spoke out,
“If you offer me all of your money, I will still not accept it. I love your son. No one can buy love with money.”
She grasped Juliana’s hand and placed the two pieces of paper, which were now useless.
“Aunt, I think I should leave the house now. You may prefer to have breakfast alone with your son. It is nice to meet you again.”
Saying that, Sophia headed to the entrance.
Juliana dashed over to her, clutching her arm tightly in rage.
“To him, you are merely a pet. I will make him realize that. Do you know why I replaced his maids with young girls? It’s because I wanted them to seduce him and distract him from you. He will kick you out of his life once he feels that.”
Juliana’s voice was low. But Sophia heard everything clearly since they were very close in distance.
Sophia’s eyes welled up with tears. “Why are you do–?”
“What’s happening here?”
A deep voice echoed in the house.
Both of them turned their heads toward the stairs as soon as they heard the voice.
While looking at them, Bryan was making his way down the stairs.
Juliana immediately let go of Sophia’s arm. Meanwhile, Sophia turned her head away and wiped the corners of her eyes.
When Bryan was about to approach, Sophia spoke out,
“Alpha, I have to go to my house right now. See you in the office tomorrow.”
Without looking at him, she bowed her head and left his house.
As soon as she stepped out of the house, tears began to fall down her cheeks.
She wiped her tears right away. She did not want to cry for anything. She believed Juliana had also spoken with Bryan about it. But he loved her and refused to leave her. That was why Juliana came to speak with her directly; in fact, she offered her a large amount, believing she would accept it.
Sophia decided to hail a cab, but at that moment, Bryan’s car appeared in her sight.
Bryan’s driver came out of the car and opened the back door for her.
“Miss, Alpha ordered me to drive you home.”
A small smile formed on her lips. That man really cared for her. It was not her imagination but reality.
Even if he was busy handling his mother right now, he sent his driver to send her home.
She got inside the car. The driver hurriedly went back to his seat and started the car.
Sophia turned her head to the window and looked outside the world. Her mind was fixed on what Juliana had told her.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a ring. She turned her head and thought it was her phone’s tone. She then realized she had forgotten her phone at Bryan’s house.
“Miss, I forgot to give you the phone.” The driver said that and gave a phone to her.
Sophia held her phone and realized Bryan had remembered to send it to her.
She checked her phone and noticed several messages from the “Admirer” number.
She read them one by one.
“I just walked by your favorite pastry shop. I wish I could buy one for you.”
“Why are you not replying to me?”
The message was sent to her phone early in the morning.
She was confused as to why Bryan sent her messages while he was with her in the morning.
She then saw the last message, which she had just received.
“Are you okay?”
She stared at the text. If she had only seen the last message, she would have continued to believe it was Bryan.
However, she had already read the first two messages, implying that the person was not Bryan. Because Bryan was present when the messages were sent.
She did not wait. She sent a message asking,
“Who are you?”
“How about meeting tomorrow at that restaurant near Night Shade University?”
