Chapter 11 Emilia Is Doomed!

Emilia clenched her fists. She had to admit that she was indeed hurt by what Sophia had done today.

Even when the terrible things she had done before were known by everyone, Drake had never said such harsh words about her in front of so many people. She had never felt worse than today.

"Of course, Miss Lane. After you got married, I will send the diamond ring to you. I congratulate on your success in advance."

Taking the ring, Sophia left with Helena and Chloe.

After they walked out, Chloe was still in excitement. "I feel great! We didn't know why you asked him to propose to Emilia, and now I do. You were forcing Drake to draw a clear line with Emilia!"

Helena gave Chloe a thumbs up. "Sophia, what you did was really smart. It seems we no longer need to worry about you now."

"I'm just lucky to have you two as my friends. Let's have a sleepover at my place!"

Sophia held their hands. The three of them grew up together and they had gone through a lot. She was really grateful to God for giving her two such good friends.

Soon, what happened in the bar last night made an headline. A lot of people had read about it and were discussing online.

[See? Emilia's doomed. She can never marry a rich man!]

[Mr. Riley has never had any feelings for her.]

[How embarrassing! If I were her, I would never walk out of the house ever again!]

[I agree! I have never liked her and I knew she wasn't a nice person. I was right!]

There were all comments about Emilia online and the Old Riley couldn't wait to distance himself from this slander. He immediately had others spread the news that the Riley family would would never combine with the Lane family through marriage.

After the news was spread, the Lane family's stock price plummeted and Emilia's parents had to call Olivia for help.

After comforting them and putting them at ease, Olivia slapped Emilia in the face.

"Look at what you've done!"

Emilia felt aggrieved. "Aunt Emilia, I haven't done anything! It was all Sophia's fault! It was all her scheme!"

Of course, Olivia knew it.

She had warned Sophia before, but it was getting harder and harder to manipulate her.

She was wondering if Sophia had found something.

"I will deal with this. And remember the pill I gave you? Use it. Mr. Riley wants a grandchild, try to give one. After that, his announcement would mean nothing at all and you will surely marry Drake."

Emilia thought of the pill Olivia had given her and smiled.

"Okay."

It had been days since Sophia came to Sealand and she had been staying in an apartment owned by the Lawson family. However, she couldn't keep staying here.

It happened that Travis was free, so they went to see a real estate agent.

Rosepark was the fully equipped complex in the city, though the housing price here was high.

Therefore, it was the first complex they had visited.

What they didn't know was that Drake happened to be here for inspection today. They came for buying a house, so they didn't notice him here.

Seeing them arrive, the real estate agent immediately came up to them with a smile. "Sir, Miss, are you here for a house together?"

Sophia suddenly sensed a ferocious gaze at her, looked over and saw a familiar figure.

She smiled. "Yes. Is there a house you would recommend?"

Just when the real estate agent was going to take them for a viewing, Drake walked over, "Mr. Travis Lawson? Why didn't you tell me you were coming here?"

Drake gave the agent a look and the agent immediately understood that Drake knew this client.

When everyone heard that this was Travis Lawson, they were all excited. They got to see Drake and Travis here together! How lucky!

Travis put on a smile and said, "I'm just here for a house. I didn't want to bother you with such a trivial stuff, Mr. Riley."

"Bother? Not at all. You are here for a house, it's business. I have always hoped to get in close contact with you. Now I finally get a chance."

Drake gave off a strong aura.

Travis then said casually. "In that case, we would be honored."

Then he put his arm around Sophia's shoulder and Sophia obediently leaned her head against his chest.

"Mr. Riley, Sophia and I are here for a house today. You are the property developer and agent, will you show us the house for a couple here?"

Sophia had been holding back her laughter seeing the sullen look on Drake's face.

Drake didn't agree immediately but said with a smile, "Mr. Lawson, shouldn't you know your girlfriend better before you marry her? Do you know she is involved with your younger brother?"

Sophia sneered. "Mr. Riley, I am right here. How can you slander me in my presence? Besides, does it have anything to do with you who Travis is marrying?"

"It doesn't. I just don't want to see him being fooled. After all, I've been such a fool before."

Drake looked into her eyes.

Sophia wasn't intimidated at all.

"You don't have to worry about it, Mr. Riley. I told my brother to help Sophia. Moreover, Sophia will be his future daughter-in-law, it's only normal he helped her."

After that, Travis looked at Sophia dotingly.

Sophia wore a smile and said, "Travis, I told you I didn't need Charles to help me."

"You are his future daughter-in-law. He ought to stand up for you."

"Travis, you are the best!"

Seeing their so intimate interaction, Drake felt as if a stone stuck in his throat.

"Since you have made up your mind, Mr. Lawson, let me show you the house for a couple." Drake walked ahead.

Travis and Sophia followed him.

This was Drake's property. Therefore, they didn't need any appointment for a viewing.

Although the houses here were expensive, many houses had been sold even before they were built and there were thus not many houses left. Drake showed them around the remaining houses.
