Chapter 10 Mr. Riley, Propose to Her

"Humph! Sophia Lawson, you bitch! You made my grandfather stop trusting my sister-in-law. Since you appeared, my brother has never talked to her. It's all your fault, bitch!"

She pounced at Sophia.

However, the latter grabbed her wrist, gazing at her aggressively.

Emilia had never seen Sophia be like this. In her opinion, Sophia was a village girl who couldn't do anything. She couldn't believe that Sophia had become so charming.

Afraid that Emilia would attack Sophia, Helena and Chloe stood in front of her to block her way.

"Aria Riley, you still don't believe the videos are real, do you? How pitiful! You've become a fool."

Aria forcibly pulled her hand back. "What nonsense are you talking about? Because of you, my sister-in-law would never be able to marry my brother. Sophia Lawson, do you want to marry into our Riley family? I disagree back then, and so do I now."

Her words amused Sophia more. "What? Disagree? I admit I was too incompetent back then, but I've changed. The more you disagree, the more I will show you what I can do. After marrying into your family, I'll bully you and make you live in Hell."

"I dare you! Go to Hell!"

As she spoke, Aria wanted to scratch Sophia.

"Enough!"

Seeing the man, Aria said with an aggrieved look, "Drake, fortunately, you are here. It's all this woman's fault. She set up my sister-in-law and tarnished her reputation. Look how haggard Emilia is now."

Drake darted a glance at Emilia, who was shedding tears as if she was made of water.

"Drake, I admit I was too young and unruly back then. I did a lot of naughty things. At that time, I learned I wasn't my parents' biological daughter, so I thought I was an orphan. I indulged myself for a while and fooled around. Later, after my birth parents found me, I realized I shouldn't have done so, so I quit. I also cut ties with those people."

"I understand if you can't forgive me, but I'm sorry. I want to change. Can you give me a chance?"

The pub was packed and extremely crowded on the dance floor. All the onlookers had read the news online, so they were excited when watching the scene.

The sudden applause attracted their attention.

Sophia was clapping.

"What a good apology! Mr. Riley, please forgive her. She looks so appealing when shedding tears. Do you need me to give you a ring so that you can propose to her?"

Drake focused on Sophia all the time.

Just now Sophia said to Aria that she wanted to marry into the Riley family, but now she encouraged him to propose to Emilia. What exactly did she mean?

Ignoring him, Sophia pulled out her phone and called a jewelry store's owner. "Hello, Mr. Chan, right? This is Sophia Lawson. I want to buy a ring with the biggest diamond from your store. Right. Please send it to Sunshine Pub. Now!"

No one could understand what she was doing.

Even Helena and Chloe looked at her with baffled expressions.

Soon, the diamond ring was delivered. Sophia opened the box and exposed the ring with a huge diamond.

"Whoa! How big!"

"It's sparking. How beautiful!"

"I wish it could be mine."

Sophia picked up the ring and passed it to Drake. "You are my ex-boyfriend. Since you failed to prepare it, I can back you up. Hurry. Propose to your fiancee. From now on, you should love and support each other. Wish you happy together forever after."

Aria wondered what was in her mind. "What on earth do you want, Sophia Lawson?" she snapped.

She couldn't believe Sophia was THAT kind to let Drake marry Emilia.

Seeing Drake keep silent, Sophia chuckled, "No worries. I won't blackmail you to pay the ring. It's my gift for your marriage."

Flynn and Bailey gaped at the scene, wondering what she was doing.

Emilia looked at Drake expectantly. She had been waiting for so many years. It would be ideal if Drake could propose to her in Sophia's presence.

Drake and Sophia locked eyes. His intense eyes seemed as if he was about to swallow her.

Sophia didn't care at all. A smile was still on her face.

After a long while, Drake replied, "Keep it to yourself. I don't need it."

Then he turned away.

Aria called him, "Drake! Drake! You can't go like this. What will my sister-in-law do?"

He stopped in his tracks.

"Aria Riley, listen to me carefully. I've never considered marrying Emilia Lane. If you call her sister-in-law again, get out of my house with her."

He vanished in sight.

His words raised a mighty uproar in the pub. It turned out Drake Riley had never admitted Emilia Lane to be his fiancee.

However, the patrons could understand the reason. According to the online videos, Emilia used to be that kind of girl. If they were Drake, they also wouldn't accept her.

Besides, Drake was a man of high status. They wondered if he had seen her through, so he never admitted her.

Emilia still gazed in the direction where Drake vanished. Sophia added fuel to the fire. Staring at the ring, she sighed, "Alas... I feel sorry for my ring. He didn't accept it."

Emilia withdrew her gaze and stared at her.

Their gazes met mid-air, but Sophia wasn't scared by her ferocious gaze.

"You did it on purpose, Sophia Lawson."

Sophia's words enlightened Aria.

Sophia admitted it, "Right. I did. What's wrong?"

"Sophia Lawson, you shameless bitch..."

Aria was too reckless and brainless. Before she hit Sophia, Chloe and Helena stopped her.

Sophia darted a glance at her and retorted, "What is wrong with you? Can't you tell who's the shameless one?"

Emilia stopped pretending to be innocent. "Think I'll fail to marry into the Riley family after you've done so?"

Sophia replied with a broad smile on her face. "Miss Lane, you misunderstood me. I hope you can marry into the Riley family. After all, you are a perfect match for Drake Riley. However, he refused to marry you. What can I do?"
