Chapter 140 Making a Special Trip to Settle the Score with Her

"I can't say that I know her well. She often attends my father's concerts, and I've seen her a few times when she goes backstage to give flowers to my father," Elianna furrowed her brows.

Zack's concerts were also attended by Elianna frequently. Could it be that she had encountered Sophia at some point?

If Sophia remembered that she was from the Stone family...

Leaving the Palatial Residence, Elianna was burdened with worries.

It wasn't just because of what Brett said was true, but also because of Sophia's familiarity.

No matter how she tried to pry information out of the past, Hector refused to reveal a single detail about what happened back then.

It seemed that if she wanted to know the truth, she would have to meet Brett again.

She had planned to arrange a meeting with Brett, but as soon as she stepped out of the Palatial Residence, she received a call from Sophia.

Upon learning that Sophia might have seen her and seeing her name on the caller ID, Elianna felt an inexplicable resistance.

After a few rings, she answered the call.

She tried to calm her voice, "Hello, Sophy! What's the matter?"

-

Half an hour later, Elianna arrived at a high-end shopping mall in Oakpool.

At the entrance, Sophia spotted her and waved warmly.

"Over here."

Elianna forced a smile and raised her hand to respond, but she froze in place.

Standing casually behind Sophia was a man with an excessively noticeable presence that attracted countless gazes.

Jefferson!

How was he here, too?

Just yesterday, Elianna offended this man, and now she felt terrible.

She had come this far, and there was no escaping it. She had to face it head-on, even if it meant putting on a brave face. She forced a smile and said, "Sophy..."

Turning her head to face Jefferson's piercing gaze, Elianna stumbled over her words, pausing before saying, "Hello, Mr. Larsen!"

Jefferson lowered his head, slowly curling his lips into a smile. "Hello, Anna."

Sophia linked her arm just as she felt lost under Jefferson's stare.

As they walked together, Sophia explained, "Jeff was also at the mansion. When he heard that I was going shopping, he suggested we pick a gift for our grandfather together."

Elianna felt a tingling sensation of fear.

Could it be that he had heard about Sophia inviting her to go shopping and deliberately followed them to settle the score?

Feeling uneasy, Elianna replied, her mouth dry, "Oh, I see. What a coincidence."

Sophia's following words confirmed Elianna's suspicion. She innocently looked at Jefferson and said, "Jeff usually despises doing trivial things like shopping. It's usually Albert who takes care of everything. It's strange that he was willing to come out today."

Jefferson walked casually, glancing at Elianna as he spoke. His gaze followed her before returning to Sophia. "I'm just showing my filial piety."

"Give it up." Sophia playfully rolled her eyes. "Grandpa would be grateful if you are not challenging him further."

Jefferson raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying the accusation.

Throughout their conversation, Elianna remained quiet and on edge.

Walking alongside Jefferson in such a public setting made her feel incredibly uncomfortable.

Even with Sophia between them, she still felt a strong sense of insecurity.

She was afraid that he might do something in front of everyone.

Nervousness continued to surround Elianna as she did her best to avoid Jefferson's gaze, hoping they would finish shopping soon and go home.

After visiting a few stores, Sophia's phone buzzed, and she glanced at it before putting it back in her pocket.

"Nothing is interesting on this floor. Let's go upstairs."

Elianna naturally had no objections.

As they stepped onto the escalator, Jefferson happened to be a step behind, standing behind Elianna. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

He was tall. Even standing a step lower on the escalator, he still towered over Elianna.

Elianna could even feel his breath, indicating just how close he was standing.

Her hairs stood on end, and her breathing quickened in response.
