In most people's eyes, the Jasmine family, despite holding the title of the richest among the nobility, is just putting on a hypocritical show.
"It's just for show, for shallow people like you in the family, who are as superficial as ever."
Sophie didn't react to Anthony's words, so she casually retorted, glancing at his profile as she said:
"Get to the point. What brings you here today?"
Anthony turned back and shrugged at his fiancée, who was behaving coldly towards him.
"I'm saying, you really don't want to see me? We're still engaged, aren't we?"
Sophie picked up a gold coin from the table, rubbed it between her fingertips, and calmly said:
"It's not that I don't want to see you, I just want to know why you came."
"I remember the last time we met, someone said that when we met again, it would be the time to get married."
At this point, Sophie revealed a meaningful smile:
"What, have you finally made up your mind? Do you want to marry this 'free-spirited' woman?"
"The prodigal son of the Yin family."
The atmosphere between the two changed, and the roles of offense and defense were reversed at this moment.
Anthony's lips twitched, but he ultimately turned his head away.
Seeing his expression, Sophie shook her head almost imperceptibly.
prodigal son?
He's just a coward...
"It's time to get married."
Um?
"When I came to see you, I was prepared for the worst."
Turning back, Anthony coughed lightly, then said somewhat awkwardly:
"Although that's what I say, I still have a few relationships that haven't been completely severed, so I'll have to wait a while longer..."
Sophie rolled her eyes. Faced with a fiancé like this, she couldn't even be bothered to get angry.
Okay.
What promises can you expect from a philandering scumbag?
"Since you're going to wait, what brings you here this time?"
Although she really wanted to get up and kick this lazy piece of trash, Sophie's mood somehow became relaxed.
The sarcasm in his tone lessened, and the rudeness increased.
Cough cough.
Anthony coughed lightly, quickly concealing his embarrassment, and sat up straighter, saying:
"My father-in-law wants me to help you for a while... about 'Star Chaser'."
"What he meant was, since you're going to participate according to the rules this time, it's only right that I protect you."
The Jasmine family sends members to participate in the Star Chaser competition every year.
This is tradition, and more importantly, it's a set of rules.
Although many people don't understand why bookmakers would take such a risky step by actively entering the market, this rule has been retained.
After a moment of silence, Sophie neither refused nor said she didn't need Anthony's help. It took her a long time before she finally spoke:
"And what about you? What do you think?"
What are your thoughts on such an adventure?
Anthony paused for a moment, then smiled:
"That's of course..."
A faint aura emanated from his body, and his eyes revealed the arrogance he had been suppressing.
"This is so exciting!"
Unlike Sophie, who is powerless, the Yin family, with its legendary blood, has never had its legendary legacy broken.
And Anthony is the key player being groomed for this generation.
Seeing the confidence and arrogance on Anthony's face, Sophie raised an eyebrow and nodded silently.
"Okay, I got it. Don't get in my way."
Sophie pulled out a piece of paper, wrote her signature, and then stamped it with the ring on her middle finger.
"With this piece of paper, you can move freely within the Silver Council. Just don't cause me any trouble... and don't seduce my subordinates."
Anthony shrugged, got up, took the note, and tactfully walked towards the door.
"Fine, fine, even if they come looking for me, I won't pay any attention to them."
Card.
Seeing Anthony's eagerness to leave, Sophie remained silent for a moment before sighing.
A scumbag's promises sound sweet, but how much of it is true, and who knows?
"Miss Sophie."
The butler who had appeared behind Keynes silently appeared in the corner of the room and bowed to Sophie.
"Um."
Not surprised by the appearance of the middle-aged butler, Sophie nodded and rubbed the gold coins in her hand.
Why did you choose him?
Raising an eyebrow, Sophie thought for a moment and said:
"Because we know each other very well, after all, we're childhood sweethearts."
Looking at the butler's unchanging, cold face, she laughed:
"I don't understand why you would still choose him after knowing his true nature?"
"Childhood sweethearts, because they are so familiar with each other, can see the disgusting rotten heart beneath the glamorous exterior."
"As for why he was chosen, it's simply because he hasn't rotted away completely yet."
Besides.
Sophie smiled, raised her arms as much as she could, and stretched lazily without caring about her image.
"I'm no good either."
The Queen of the Sea and the Green Tea Man.
"Actually, the two of us are quite a good match."
No one should look down on anyone else.
Even after getting to know each other too well, they can still accept each other and just make do.
Isn't this what childhood sweethearts are all about?
...
...
Ning Feng watched as Jiang Wan, after finishing her speech, suddenly got out of bed and ran to lock the door, silently pondering what would happen next...
"Don't be afraid, you'll get used to it."
"We still have many places to visit afterwards."
Leaning against the door, Jiang Wan revealed a wicked smile, like a little devil.
"Who told us to be childhood sweethearts?"
