Chapter 92
Sophia arrived a bit earlier at the restaurant where was almost–empty.
Due to its high–rise position, the restaurant boasted stunning city views.
When Kylie showed up, Sophia gestured for her to sit down.
“Have a seat. I’ve ordered some food, but feel free if you’d like to add anything else,” Sophia said with an elegant smile, her voice calm and steady.
No wonder she was a host; she carried herself with such grace that no one could find any flaws in her.
“Alright, thank you,” Kylie said as she sat down, not bothering to look at the menu. She took a few sips of water, waiting for Sophia to explain the reason for their meeting today.
The late night at the club and the dim lighting had slightly obscured Kylie’s appearance.
Today, Kylie looked younger and more beautiful
Sophia stirred her coffee, her gaze turned a bit dark.
Kylie was patient. Sophia couldn’t help but think to herself, “No wonder she caught Trevor’s attention. She might be young. but she’s very scheming
What would a girl from a poor family seek by willingly becoming the mistress of a successful man?
Sophia was fully aware of the answer.
She took out a check for 300 thousand dollars and laid it in front of Kylie.
The sight of the check left Kylie a bit surprised.
She had predicted Sophia’s purpose for the meeting, but she never expected such a dramatic scene.
Kylie glanced at the check and thought, ‘What the hell? 300 thousand dollars?
“Kylie, you’re smart enough to understand what I mean. The money is yours as long as you leave Mr. Walters, Sophia said arrogantly.
In Sophia’s eyes, she came from a scholarly family which was perfectly suited for Trevor.
On the other hand, Kylie was destined to only be a mistress due to her poor background.
Kylie remained composed still as Felicia had always emphasized the importance of controlling emotions in their profession.
She asked calmly. “What is your relationship with Mr. Walters, Ms. Garcia?
After leaving the club that day, she thought it over carefully and realized she might have been mistaken before. Trevor didn’t seem to have any romantic ties with Sophia
However, that was just her guess.
Sophia frowned. “You don’t need to know what my relationship with Mr. Walters is. I know you’re hanging around him just for the money. Take the money and leave as I said; the rest isn’t your concern.
“So, you’re not a couple?” Kylie’s tone was indifferent.

Chapter 92
Sophia’s face turned cold. Tye looked into you. You’re the unacknowledged daughter of the Lampard family, and they likely won’t give you money to spend freely. So, you turned to Mr. Walters. Do you think a relationship based on appearances that has to stay hidden can last?”
Kylie remained expressionless. “Ms. Garcia, you’ve done your research well.”
At their first meeting at the club, Kylie had been quite impressed with Sophia.
After all, a beautiful woman was liked by both men and women
But since Sophia started looking into her life, Kylie realized she had overestimated Sophia.
“The financial situation of your adoptive family is not good. 300 thousand dollars could change their lives. Kylie, I strongly advise you to accept this opportunity while it’s available,” Sophia urged, feeling provoked by Kylie’s attitude.
Just like Melanie said. Kylie was greedy.
If she weren’t so greedy, everyone in the Lampard family wouldn’t dislike her.
*300 thousand dollars. Ms. Garcia, isn’t that a bit stingy? I won much more than that just by playing a few rounds of poker the other day at the club. Now you give me 300 thousand and flaunt? Are you mocking me or Mr. Walters?” Kylie spoke with a smile tharfailed to reach her eyes.
From a young age. Kylie had a simple approach: if strangers gave her attitude, she would ignore it when she was in a good mood. However, in a bad mood, she could be quite ruthless,
It wasn’t noticeable before she restarted her life, but now Sophia appeared to Kylie a barking stray dog-
“He gave you all in cash that day?” Sophia was surprised.
She heard from Rafael that Kylie had a lucky streak that night. After a round, she won millions, while Rafael and the other two lost badly.
Indeed, Trevor had said that he would settle Kylie’s debt if she lost, and her winnings were rightfully hers.
But Sophia thought it was just a courteous remark at the table and never expected Trevor would fulfill it.
No wonder Kylie wasn’t impressed by the 300 thousand she proposed.
Kylie had developed quite an appetite for money.
“Mr. Walters always keeps his promises.” Kylie knew Sophia, who didn’t really know Trevor, was at her wit’s end.
Trevor wouldn’t have broken his promise to anyone, even if it wasn’t her.
Sophia’s face turned pale, her eyes filled with hostility and anger “Name your price.”
“If there’s a price to discuss, I should be talking to Mr. Walters, not you. He can offer me more. Ms. Garcia, you’d better put that check away. Next time you want to kick someone out, make sure you are capable of doing it first. Kylie tapped the million–dollar check on the table.
Sophia took a deep breath. She was irritated. “You have one chance, Kylie. If you miss it, I’ll make you out of this city once -Mr. Walters is tired of you. I’ve found out all about your adoptive mother and her family. Think carefully. You’re not alone.
You’re part of a family now,”
“So, Ms. Garcia, you’re saying I have to take the money and leave, or else you’ll make my whole family miserable? You seem to think you’ve ruled the city, Kylie sneered.
She had thought Sophia was an admirable businesswoman, but turned out she was just like Melanie and the others.

“Looks like you’ve figured it put. Sophia narrowed her eyes.
She had plenty of ways to deal with girls like that.
If Kylie wasn’t willing to back down, Sophia wouldn’t mind giving her a good lesson about crossing her in Jardora.
“Mr. Walters, did you hear that?” Kylie suddenly asked over the phone.
Sophia’s face changed. “You called Trevor?”
She thought. So he heard everything we just said?!
“Ms. Garcia, you started by trying to humiliate me with 300 thousand dollars and then threatened me and my family. Haven’t you ever heard the saying, “Don’t harm others but be cautious about being harmed‘? Mr. Walters heard our entire conversation, and I recorded it too. If this goes to the police, Ms. Garcia. I’m not a celebrity–I make my living through skill and hard work–but can you handle the public backlash?”
Kylie thought, “Did they think I was easy to bully, that anyone could just push me around? But they just can’t hurt my family.
This was a trouble caused by Trevor, so he should be the one to solve it.
