801 Words
The crowd froze for a moment, then burst into laughter! Even Silvia had a mocking smile: "Not for me? Then are they for her?" Sophia, feeling ashamed, pulled Ethan and said, "Let's go! This place isn't for us!" Silvia quickly stepped forward and grabbed Sophia's arm, mocking, "Oh, dear sister! You can't leave today! It's my engagement day, and you are my elder sister! We're family. I can find a rich stepfather for July, so you won't struggle anymore!" Charles scolded, "Silvia, shut up!" Silvia ignored him and continued, "Sophia, don't go. I'll find a stepfather for July. But you know, rich men like pure women! In your situation, forget about unmarried men. I'll try to find an old man under forty, okay?" The crowd laughed, their gazes mocking Sophia. Just then, a Rolls-Royce stopped at the Harris residence, and Silvia's fiancé, Kevin Taylor, got out. Seeing Kevin, Silvia's eyes lit up. She ran over, wrapping her arm around his. "Darling, I got your gift! I love you so much!" Kevin looked proud. Coming from a top aristocratic family, a casual gift from him was enough to make the Harris family feel honored. "Haha, Silvia, it's just a gift worth a few hundred thousand dollars. How could it compare to my love for you?" Silvia shyly said, "Oh, stop being modest! Even I know these things are worth at least millions!" The guests gathered around them, showering compliments: "Yes, Mr. Taylor! There’s no need to be modest!" "Kevin is so generous. He is giving gifts worth millions without a second thought. It's enviable!" Kevin blinked in confusion. He followed Silvia's gaze, and then his eyes widened. "You said these things are from me?" Silvia replied, "Yes, aren't they?" Seeing the admiring looks from everyone, Kevin felt embarrassed to deny it, so he nodded and smiled, "Of course they are! Silvia, do you like the surprise?" While smiling, Kevin thought, 'Didn't I tell my father to prepare gifts worth just a few hundred thousand dollars? These are worth millions. Even I'm feeling the pinch!' Ethan's voice suddenly sounded, "You said these things are from you?" Kevin turned to see Ethan looking at him strangely. Before Kevin could speak, Silvia mocked, "Of course, they're from my boyfriend! Ethan, I know you're just jealous! But this is the difference between people! Some are born losers!" Finally, Sophia spoke up. "Silvia, that's enough! No matter what, he's still my husband! How can you talk to him like that?" Silvia looked disdainful. "So what? I don't even admit that I know him. What a shame!" Seeing the beautiful Sophia, a lustful look flashed in Kevin's eyes. "Silvia, who is this?" Silvia replied, "This is my sister, Sophia Harris. That loser is her husband." Hearing this, Kevin's face showed disdain. "Haha, such a beautiful sister married to a useless man? What a waste! I heard you haven't registered your marriage? Sophia, I have an uncle who just got divorced. He's just over forty. How about considering him?" July quickly grabbed Sophia's hand, pleading, "Mom! Mom! Don't marry someone else! July just wants you and Dad together!" Sophia softly said, "July, calm down! Mommy won't marry anyone else!" Then, Sophia looked coldly at Silvia and Kevin, "Move! You're scaring my child!" Charles said unhappily, "Sophia! Silvia and Mr. Taylor are doing this for your good. How can you be so rude?" Charles looked at Kevin apologetically, "Mr. Taylor, I'm sorry for all this!" His attitude towards Kevin was completely different from how he treated Ethan. Sophia looked at her father with disappointment. "For my own good? Does it mean marrying me to a man over forty?" Charles glared, "That's better than being with a useless man! What can he give you?" Ethan walked over and gently hugged Sophia, his eyes full of love. "I can give Sophia happiness!" Charles looked disdainful. "Happiness? Just with words? Five years! You hurt my daughter for five years! I don't care why you're back now, but I can tell you clearly, don't dream of getting a penny from the Harris family!" Ethan calmly said, "Charles, I don't care about your money. As for the harm caused to Sophia over the past five years, I will make up for it." Ethan solemnly announced, "In seven days, I, Ethan Lee, will officially marry Sophia Harris!" His words were like thunder, shocking everyone! Ethan looked affectionately at Sophia, "Sophia, will you marry me?" Sophia bit her lip. She had never thought she would have a wedding of her own! That was the most anticipated day in a woman's life! Sophia nodded, "I will..." Charles' shout immediately followed, "She won't!" Charles heavily breathed with one hand on her heart and tremblingly pointed at Sophia. He shouted, "If you promise him, you are no longer my daughter."
