Chapter 231 - 231: Don’t Be Mad

Kate called her brother to wish him a merry Christmas and then stopped calling anyone else.

This Christmas, however, many relatives of the Green family took the initiative to call Kate to pay greetings. It surprised Kate.

After answering the phone, Kate understood everything. They heard that Sophia became famous and was the top contender for a TV show's two million dollars. On the phone, they praised Sophia and said she was the pride of the Green family.

Kate replied politely but didn't talk much with them. They came when Sophia became famous. But where were they when she and Sophia in despair? They called at this time might be for the prize Sophia might get.

There was no such good thing!

Sophia didn't want to pay any attention to these relatives. They were so indifferent to them that she had long ceased to regard them as her relatives. They were only related to her father. Now that her father had passed away, she didn't have to care about them.

Sophia and Kate spent Christmas at home. Towards noon, Andy came with a lot of food.

Kate treated him with a great deal of indifference and didn't talk much with him. Andy was anxious and wondered if he had done something wrong and upset her.

"I'll help you with lunch." Andy said, "I just bought some vegetables."

Kate took a look at the vegetables he brought, "Oh? Where's the price tag?"

"I bought them in the supermarket."

Kate looked at him and asked, "Oh… Is the supermarket open today? These vegetables are very fresh, aren't they?"

Andy's expression froze, "I… Well, one of my friends planted them."

"Oh?"

"I… All right. Actually, I hired people to grow these vegetables."

Sophia silently walked back to her room. With her in, Andy would be more embarrassed.

But she didn't close the door but left a crack so that she could hear the conversation.

"Don't be mad. I didn't mean to hide it from you." Andy explained in a panic, "I didn't tell you because I was worried that you might think I was unreliable and insincere because of my rich family. If you had known it, you wouldn't have dated me."

Kate said coldly, "You're not reliable. If I had known who you were, I would have ignored you."

Andy was more anxious, "No, no. I'm reliable. Trust me. I thought I was going to be single for the rest of my life after my wife died until… I met you at school."

Sophia closed the door and sat in front of the desk.

She thought Andy was honest but didn't know if he could explain it clearly.

A relationship mixed with money didn't seem to be pure. Kate was almost forty, but she was still very pretty, and there were a lot of men after her. So, it was easy for her to find a good man. But she wanted a pure love rather than just finding a man to live on.

Sophia took out her phone and saw that the Super Quiz had published the candidates for resurrection. Charles was one of them, and he responded immediately.

"Thank you for giving me a chance. Thanks for your voting. I'll try my best in the final."

The comments under the message were very weird.

"You resurrected? If I were you, I would say no. Compete with Sophia, are you serious?"

"Honestly, the resurrection is meaningless. Anyway, we all know who the champion will be."

"Waiting to see Sophia crush you all!"

***

Sophia checked several accounts and saw that the users were her followers. She had to say, and her fans were arrogant. She was worried that it would cause some bad effects.

She went on rummaging through the comments. Sure enough, comments were accusing her followers.

"Sophia's great. But her fans are stupid and annoying. They just take part in the show. What's the cynicism? You think he doesn't have fans?"

"I can't stand it. Sophia's followers go too far!"

"Stupid fans!"

***

Sophia didn't know what to do about it. Charles was abominable, but her followers went too far.

She didn't know how to deal with the situation. She couldn't control her followers. Thus, she did not respond for fear that someone would seize on the flaw in her words.

She read the news for a while and then heard Kate calling her for dinner.

When she walked out of the room, she saw Kate and Andy busy bringing the food out of the kitchen. The two seemed to have reconciled.

Sophia went to the kitchen to help serve the food. Then they sat down to eat in the dining room.

During the meal, Andy looked a little cramped. He kept peeking at Kate, while Kate rolled her eyes as a response. When he noticed that Sophia was looking at him, he smiled awkwardly.

Sophia kept eating and stopped looking at him. This man might be her stepfather soon, and she should be nice to him, Sophia thought.

After dinner, Sophia returned to her room without helping to clean up. It was not that she was lazy, but that she wanted to leave the opportunity to Andy.

After all, cleaning up the house together could also enhance the relationship.

In the evening, Sophia noticed that her name became a hot search, so as Charles'. She was confused. Yes, her followers sneered at Charles on the microblog, but it would not become a hot search, would it?

She checked the hot search, and then she got pissed off.

It all started with a message tweeted by Charles two hours ago.

"I didn't want to say it, but… Sophia is my ex. We had been quite good and never broke up. But for some reason, we separated. As a responsible man, I never wanted it. I hope to get a chance to explain everything." And there were pictures attached.

Those were pictures of him and Sophia. They stood together and seemed very close. In the photo, Sophia was smiling happily and looking at Charles with love in her eyes. Anyone could tell that this was a sweet couple.

People didn't need to go to work on Christmas and were idle. Many got online and read the news on the microblog. So this message attracted much attention, and the comments exploded.

"What a story! Oh, god! It can be an idol drama."
