NovelAppThe next morning, Polly laid a dress in front of Sophie. "Ms. Sophie, this was custom-made for you by the boss." "When did he order it?" "After you ran off last time." Sophie glanced at the white dress and its fabric, immediately recognizing its expensive taste. A mermaid dress, of all things-the hardest to run in. Odie really did put in the effort.
"I don't like white," Sophie said coolly. "Take it away. I'm not wearing it." "The boss wants to take you to the Mintons' monthly dinner party." Polly's words had a hint of warning. Sophie quickly sensed something fishy about this monthly dinner. It had to be the kind of event Odie had prepared for during his first visit to Devonport. Why would he suddenly want to take her there? Downstairs, Sandy was having breakfast in the hall, with Vanessa beside her, looking distracted.
Sandy frowned and asked, "Vanessa, what's up with you? You've been acting weird since yesterday. Did Sophie upset you?" "No, not at all." "Why did you even invite her here? She's staying in someone else's house without even showing her face!" The more Sandy thought about it, the angrier she got. She turned to a maid nearby, "You, go call Sophie down here!" "Yes, miss." The maid quickly went upstairs. Vanessa's heart skipped a beat. Odie bringing Sophie here was clearly a form of confinement; how could they just let Sophie cand go as she pleased? On the second floor, the maid knocked on Sophie's door, "Mrs. Costello, our miss invites you downstairs." "Got it." Sophie, still in her nightgown, opened the door. Polly deliberately raised her voice, "Mrs. Costello, didn't you just say you weren't feeling well? Maybe it's better if you stay in." Sophie paused, looked back at Polly, and smiled, "Ms. Sandy invited me. How could I possibly not go? Let Mr. Odie know later, so he doesn't think I snuck out on my own and get the wrong idea." "Yes."
Sophie followed the maid downstairs. In the living room, Sandy saw Sophie cdown in her nightgown and immediately shapped, "Sophie, who let you cdown dressed like that?" Sophie spread her arms, "We're all girls here. Does it really bother you?" "It's totally inappropriate!" "I don't believe you have never worn a nightgown like this." "You!" Sandy's face turned red with embarrassment, "We're not close. Why would you wear that? Are you trying to upset Vanessa on purpose?"
This type of sexy nightgown looked like something a wife would wear for her husband. Everyone knew Sophie was Colby's wife. Dressing like this was clearly to provoke Vanessa. "For heaven's sake, I didn't mean to."
Sophie didn't intend to stir the pot. She was just wearing what she had on when she was brought to them Minton Family. It was either this or that fancy dress. Sandy just had a bias against her, making a big deal out of nothing. "Hmph, I bet you did it on purpose. Vanessa wanted to be friends with you, and here you are, playing games! Get out of my house right now! I can't stand the sight of you." "Sandy..." "Vanessa, don't stop me! I've been annoyed ever since you brought her here." X
