Chapter 168 Future Sister-in-Law is Here
"Ms. Lo, can you tell us more about what happened that year?"
When the security guards blocked the journalist for her, Sophia heaved a sigh of relief. Not far from
Sophia, Eason looked at his disciple and smiled, "Well done!"
These two simple words made Sophia proud of what she had become.
She had suffered a lot to get Eason's recognition.
"Master, let's have dinner with Selina tonight!" Sophia said, with gleaming eyes.
Selina had become a model, and Eason was not happy about it. He couldn't understand why Selina
didn't pursue her studies after graduation, but had decided to work as a model instead...
But since her fiancé, Levi, didn't care, Eason could only look the other way.
Eason shook his head. "You and Selina can go. I have a dinner party tonight."
"Okay, Master. Let me wrap up a few things before I call Selina." Both of them, then, talked and walked
toward the backstage lounge, with their hearts filled with pride.
A month later.
At the Minwax Five-Star Hotel of A Country, the Pei clan was having its 33rd Family Anniversary
Celebration.
Last year, Hugh was promoted to general manager. He was responsible for the supervision and
operations of the hotel. He had dedicated much of his time and effort in organizing this anniversary
event.
Hugh, who had gone from the entertainment sector to the business industry, was appointed as the new
general manager. This was just the icing on the cake for the Pei clan. The Pei clan had already
surpassed the Ji clan, now becoming the second largest family in A Country, second only to the Li clan.
Tonight, many VIPs and top executives of A Country would be attending. Therefore, everything should
be perfect down to the smallest detail.
At 8 p.m. sharp.
Everyone had arrived. Hugh entertained people in his designer black suit. People at the scene were
socializing with each other.
"It's said that the Pei Family had paid a lot to invite a certain designer. Did you know that?"
"Yeah. I heard that this designer's annual pay was more than one million!"
"Is the designer male or female? Where did the designer come from? How famous is this person?"
"I don't know. The Pei Family is keeping it a secret."
At 8:20 p.m.
Hugh stepped onto the stage, with a spotlight in tow.
After everyone had settled down, Hugh said, "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention please.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce the new designer of the Pei Family. Her name is Ms.
Sophia Lo!"
Hugh's words created an uproar with everyone in the room.
Sophia Lo was a familiar name for all of the high-profile executives in A Country.
Just when Sophia and Colin's past was almost forgotten by everyone, she had made a grand
comeback in A Country.
Many people turned their attention to Colin who was in a navy blue suit and Dorothy who wore a black
evening dress.
They felt that the evening was about to get interesting...
Upon the mention of Sophia's name, Colin, Dorothy, Marcella, Herring... and so many others were in This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
shock.
The spotlight cast a soft white glow on one corner of the stage. The whole banquet hall was silenced.
Under the spotlight, a woman in a white suit appeared.
Everyone couldn't help holding their breath, as they sized up the woman whom they almost could not
recognize.
She wore a white off-shoulder knee-length chiffon dress with a long white cape, flattering her fair skin.
Her thin yellow hair was pinned on top of her head. Both her ears and wrists dazzled with Swarovski
crystals.
Even her left index finger bore a ring with a Swarovski crystal the size of a quail egg. Women's mouths
were agape with envy.
Her face was painted with luxurious makeup. Her lips wore a fashionable red, making her lips as
attractive as a cherry.
She walked with a pair of bedazzled 8cm beige white high-heeled stilettos, which shone bright under
the light.
There was a faint smile on Hugh's cold face. Putting his left hand in the pocket of his pants, he
extended his right hand to Sophia.
Sophia elegantly took his hand. They both stood on the stage, looking like an ideal couple, raising envy
among people.
Seeing them hold hands bothered a man who was drinking wine in the audience...
"Hello, everyone. I'm Sophia. It's an honor for me to work for the Pei Family. I hope that everyone
would welcome me as much as they did. Thank you!"
After her brief introduction, the audience remained quiet. They were still shocked by the fact that she
was the Sophia who used to be Colin's wife.
Hugh didn't mind. He let go of her hand and began to applaud. Then, gradually, the applause
resounded throughout the hall.
The banquet hall recovered its vitality. But the topic was focused on Sophia.
Her past with Colin was dug out.
With a frigid smile, Colin's current fiancée Dorothy endured the sympathy glances from other people.
Sophia! That bitch! Why did she have to come back?
Dorothy tightened her hand on Colin's arm. She was observing Colin's reaction. He gave a glance at
Sophia and immediately turned away. It seemed that Sophia no longer existed in his heart.
Holding on to Shelly's hand, Herring went toward Colin. Herring said jokingly, "Mr. Li, would you please
tell us how you feel now?"
Two years ago, Shelly married Herring. She pinched her husband's arm and looked at Dorothy whose
facial expression turned sour. "Future sister-in-law is here. Watch your mouth."
Herring seemed not to have noticed Dorothy until now, "Oh, Dorothy, hello there." Without giving
Dorothy a chance to reply, Herring looked at Colin again and said, "Several years have passed. Sophia
had not only won a prestigious award, but also became this famous. How unbelievable..."
Shelly glared at Herring. It was Herring who expelled Sophia out of the villa that year. How could he say
such thing?
Colin gave him a cold look and took a sip of the wine. "Does it have anything to do with me? Or do you
want to leave Shelly and get together with her?"
"Hey, don't put it on me. She is your..." Before speaking out the word "ex-wife", Herring shut up when
Colin glared at him.
Even though Dorothy hated Herring, she still forced a smile. "Colin, Dad is waiting for us. Let's go, shall
we?"
Colin followed Dorothy and headed toward Gregary.
Shelly pinched Herring, "What are you trying to do? Colin wasn't the only one who hated Sophia. You
did, too!"
It was Herring who banished Sophia for Colin's sake.
Herring who had dyed his hair black shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "Didn't you see how Colin had
become so unhappy since he divorced that woman?"
"Of course, I did!" Shelly had been in A Country for two whole years now. She had never seen Colin
smile. He was almost as cold as Daniel.
