A week of busy work made Sophia feel fulfilled, but at the same time, she was a little tired.
He went to bed early on Friday.
However, early on Saturday morning, Sophia received a text message.
"Dear Sophia, are you almost there? Daddy has already prepared the meal and is waiting for you."
Sophia frowned when she saw Albert's message. When she raised her stick to hit herself, if she had the thought now, she wouldn't have hit her so hard.
Looking at the door that was once so familiar, Sophia felt a little unfamiliar at the moment.
Taking a deep breath, Sophia pushed open the door.
In the courtyard, Jessica was hugging Albert's arm and laughing coquettishly. She looked very warm.
Sophia sneered to herself. Ever since her mother passed away and Albert brought Jessica and her daughter home, she had never felt her father's love, let alone Jessica, who was hugging Albert's arm and acting coquettishly.
"Daddy, sister is here." Jessica saw Sophia enter. She hugged Albert's arm and leaned on his shoulder affectionately as she said provocatively.
Obviously, she knew how to stimulate her sister's nerves.
"Sophia, you're finally here. Come quickly!" When Albert saw Sophia, he paused for a moment before revealing a kind smile.
It was as if Sophia was a guest.
But Sophia was clearly his biological daughter.
Sophia did not say a word and sat at the dining table expressionlessly.
Seeing this, Albert didn't mind. He immediately sat beside Sophia and waved at the servants at home. "Hurry up and serve all the delicious food. I want to have a good meal with my daughter today."
"Alright." The servant said and quickly filled the dining table with food.
There was a dazzling array of dishes. They looked delicious and sumptuous.
Jessica looked at the dishes on the table and grinned. "Sister, this table of sumptuous food was specially prepared for you by Father. I know that you're married to a poor boy and definitely won't be able to eat it normally."
Jessica said to Sophia as if she was the master.
It was as if Sophia was an outsider begging for food.
Sophia sneered and ignored Jessica. She looked at Albert and asked coldly, "Tell me, why did you call me here?"
Albert's hand, which was about to pick up some food for Sophia, awkwardly stopped in mid-air. Then, he smiled and put the food on Sophia's plate. "My dear Sophia, you're my daughter. Can't I call you home for dinner?"
Sophia looked over coldly and was about to retort.
"I know that you still hate Dad for what happened before," Albert said before he could. "But think about it carefully. I'm afraid that you'll be deceived and bullied."
"Of course, this is indeed a problem with my thinking. I shouldn't beat and scold you just because I'm worried about you. No matter what, you're a child of my Wilson family. As your father, I can't bear to see you suffer outside."
Jessica quickly added, "Yes, I was especially happy when I heard that you won the championship. I woke up early in the morning to prepare a sumptuous meal for you."
"Besides, sister, we are all from the Wilson family. Now that you have won the championship and are famous, if we let you live outside, others will laugh at us!"
When Sophia heard Jessica's words, she finally understood why Albert's attitude had suddenly changed 180 degrees.
It seemed that after seeing that he had won the championship of the WM competition, he saw some value in him.
Sophia sneered, "Don't beat around the bush. Just tell me why you called me back."
Albert laughed awkwardly, and finally stopped trying to hide it. He coughed dryly and said, "Ahem, dear Sophia, it's like this."
After listening to Albert's loving explanation, Sophia finally understood why he had asked her to come back.
It turned out that the CEO of Maya Group had seen the WM competition and liked Sophia's work. He wanted Sophia to be a designer at Maya Group, but he knew that the champion of the WM competition had always been a talent that all the top companies wanted.
Only then did he think of finding Sophia through Albert.
"You've already agreed?" Hearing that Albert had already agreed to this without asking her, Sophia couldn't help but raise her voice.
"So, in order to please the Maya Group, you treated me as an object and made a deal with them?"
Sophia's eyes were cold. "I thought you were proud and glorious that I won the award. You wanted to take advantage of my mother's death anniversary to call me back and let her see my results. I thought you had a conscience, but I never expected that."
"Heh, it's my fault. What was I expecting? From the moment I was born, I was just an object in your eyes. When I have value, take it out. When I have no value, kick me aside or even kick me out of the house!"
"Sister, how can you say that? Don't you hurt daddy's heart by saying that?" Jessica stood at the side, hiding the smile in her eyes as she spoke softly. Her hand continued to caress Albert's back to comfort him.
Looking at Jessica's clumsy performance, Sophia gritted her teeth and said, "I won't go to the Maya Group! You have to solve your own problems! Also! If you still don't intend to hand over the inheritance my mother left me, then we can only meet in court! I've already found a lawyer."
With that, Sophia turned around and left. She couldn't stay in this house for another second.
Slap!
Just as she turned around, the sound of a table being slammed came from behind her. Immediately after, Albert's furious roar was heard.
"Sophia! I'm your father after all. What kind of attitude is this?"
"You don't have to worry about the Maya Group, but I told the people of the Maya Group that if you don't come, it will definitely be your new husband who won't let you! I can't guarantee what the Maya Group will do to attract talents!"
