Chapter 193 I Can't Stay Calm Facing Things About Sophia
In retrospect, Sophia had never been so serious. It seemed that they would no longer be in touch with
each other after this banquet.
Drake admitted that he was much more scared than ever before. He didn't want to lose Sophia...
After he understood Emma's hint, he was about to turn around.
At the same time, Sophia stepped forward and said, "Mr. Riley, you're right. I have never thought of
making up with you since we broke up. So you never stand a chance, never." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
In front of so many people, Sophia refused Drake.
Everyone was watching them incredulously.
Some guys were imagining if they had a chance to be Sophia's boyfriends.
The happiest person was Noah. He believed he would have the best chance if Sophia stood firm in
what she said.
And the Lawsons also felt gratified that Sophia could say so.
They nodded at her and went to the other side with Sophia since the banquet was not over yet.
Drake kept looking at Sophia, and Emma said in an upset tone, "Drake, you're not an impulsive man,
are you?"
"But I can't stay calm facing things about her!" growled Drake.
Emma clearly knew how much her son loved Sophia.
Did Sophia not like Drake? Of course, she did.
But she didn't think they could be a couple after deliberation, so she distanced herself from him.
And now, she just showed how determined she was in public.
Emma shook her head.
"Emma!" The Old Riley walked to her and called.
Although they saw each other when the banquet just began, they didn't have a chance to talk.
Emma turned her head towards him and said impassively, "Good evening, Nathan Riley!"
At this time, the Old Riley recalled what Olivia did before and then thought of Emma.
He knew Emma was Sophia's teacher.
Once upon a time Drake and Sophia were destined to be together, but now things were different.
After a long while, he uttered, "I used to be your father-in-law. You can feel free to talk to me."
"Old Mr. Riley, what do you want?" said Sophia's aloof voice.
"I know we have hurt your feeling, as well as Sophia's, but you are different from her. You have ever
lived with us, I treated you well back then, and you have had two kids for Baron..."
But Emma interrupted him, "Stop it. It's unnecessary to talk about the past."
The Old Riley's unfinished words stuck in his throat.
Then Olivia walked over and said, "Emma, are you a bit out of line? Dad is talking to you in a kind
manner."
"It's none of your business," the Old Riley growled at Olivia.
But Olivia looked at him strangely. She did have the chip implanted in him. Why was he so
disobedient?
It was not good. She should try controlling him by the phone.
Pressing the button furtively, Olivia looked towards the Old Riley.
As expected, the Old Riley changed immediately. "Emma, how dare you talk to me in this way? Aria,
have you lived with her recently? You'd better get back right now or you can never enter the Riley
manor."
Subconsciously, Aria hid behind Emma and said loudly, "No, Grandpa, I won't get back. Olivia is
malicious. She wanna kill me!"
"Stop it!" The Old Riley suddenly got angry which drew the attention of many people, "She's your
stepmother who had brought you up since you were a child. But what did Emma, your biological
mother, do?"
Aria bit her bottom lip. "Yes, she did nothing. But if my father hadn't cheated on her, I believe, she
would not leave me alone."
"Bullshit! Every man makes mistakes. But she just abandoned you and Drake because Baron made a
small mistake. She doesn't deserve to be your mother!"
His voice was louder and sterner.
Aria was really scared of her grandfather, thus she thoroughly shrank behind Emma.
Travis felt strange about this. "It seems that there's something wrong with the Old Riley!"
Sophia glanced at Travis and said, "Olivia must have done something to him!"
Clever as Travis was, he soon knew what was wrong and said, "The Riley family will be in turmoil.
Fortunately, you don't get involved."
"But if it harms Emma, I will not stand by," insisted Sophia.
That was true. Without Emma's cultivation, Sophia would not be where she was today. Therefore, she,
as well as her family, would stand up for Emma.
Emma said fearlessly, "Old Mr. Riley, you don't have to say so to my daughter. After all, it was you who
didn't allow me to take them away. You told me I had to leave alone."
"I had no choice at that time. I did regret not taking them away these years, but I knew regret was
useless. Now that I have come back, I will take responsibility for my kids as a mother even if they don't
accept me."
Emma changed a lot indeed. She never talked back to the Old Riley before when she lived in the Riley
manor.
The wealthy family needed obedient daughter-in-laws, and thus the Old Riley liked Emma at that time.
However, Emma couldn't bear being cheated on by Baron and chose to leave finally.
When the atmosphere between them was tense, Baron hurried here.
"Emma! Oh my, you are here. It's really you! I have been looking for you recently, but I just fail. Emma, I
will divorce Olivia. Please come back to me, will you?"
Emma looked at him with a sneer. "Baron, stop daydreaming!"
Then she turned to leave with Aria.
Aria stared at Baron in confusion. Now that her father loved her mother so much, why did her father
cheat on her mother?
Baron noticed Aria's stare and turned to her. "Aria..."
But Emma gave Aria a drag which made her turn her head back quickly.
While Baron wanted to run after them, the Old Riley shouted, "Baron, if you keep moving, I'll disown
you."
Baron stopped and turned around, "Dad, I have once lost Emma. These years, I kept looking for her
outside. And now I finally meet her. I don't want to lose her again."
"You and Drake are freaking bastards!"
