Being Pursued By Ex-husband
Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Sophia had reached home by the time Katherine knew about the incident.

“Soph, you're amazing! Haha! It felt great to see the look on Bethany's face. She looked as though shehad just eaten poop. Hey, did you know someone took a short video? You looked cool when you weretalking. Do you want me to spend some money to make it a trending topic for you?”

Katherine didn't give Sophia a chance to answer. She continued, “Soph, you haven't shown your facein a while. It's about time you show them how happy you've been.”

Sophia massaged her temples. She could feel a headache coming as she replied, “Don't do that fornothing.”

Her simple reply suppressed Katherine's impulse. “Okay.”

“I'm a little tired, so I'll take a shower first. I'm hanging up now.”

“Oh. Good night, darling.”

Sophia chuckled and said, “Goodnight.”

After the call ended, Sophia tossed her phone aside. The blackened screen suddenly lit up with a ding.

She raised her brow and picked up her phone. After that, she realized Katherine had sent her the shortclip someone had filmed that night.

Uninterested, Sophia was about to put down her phone when Katherine sent her another text. The

latter texted: It wasn't my imagination. I realized that jerk, Alexander, seemed to be staring at you.

Sophia was slightly stunned. Less than a second later, she threw her phone on the couch again.

It's none of my business! I'm going to shower now!

At night, Alexander watched a video of Sophia on his phone. She was the same Sophia, but, for somereason, she didn't seem like an eyesore anymore.

Sophia seemed like a completely different person after the divorce. She didn't ask for money when shewent to City Hall with him for a divorce. Afterward, she moved on swiftly as though she was the onewho was never in love. Before their divorce, she couldn't even look Kristen in the eye when Kristenberated her. Now that she had divorced him, she could admit in front of so many people that shepushed Bethany into the water.

Not only did she admit it, she was also arrogant.

Alexander put out the cigarette in his hand in frustration. He had no idea why he would sit there lookingat his ex-wife on his phone instead of going to sleep.

Godd*mn it!

When the video began to spread around, the public had both positive and negative views of Sophia.

Some thought she did the right thing, while others thought she was too arrogant.

Obviously, the most angry person was Kristen.

She thought Sophia was not good enough for Alexander because Sophia had nothing going for herexcept for her looks. Besides, she didn't have a good family background, nor was she capable.

She married into the Xenos family for three years, but nothing came of it. Everything would have beenwell if she had taken the money back then. Yet, she just had to labor under a delusion. If it were not forSophia's sudden intervention, Alexander and Bethany would have been married a long time ago.Bethany was from a good family. Moreover, she was on Kristen's side, so Kristen thought thatAlexander wouldn't have moved out for so many years if Bethany had married him.

In Kristen's eyes, Bethany was her ideal daughter-in-law. However, Sophia took her place.

Now that Sophia and Alexander are finally divorced, I didn't expect Sophia would become more andmore haughty. A few nights ago, my ideal daughter-in-law was pushed into the pool by Sophia. I wasso angry that I couldn't sleep for the whole night.

Coincidentally, the two parties met again just after a few days.

When they bumped into one another, Sophia flipped through a magazine on a couch in boredom asshe waited for Katherine to try on some clothes.

Katherine was a shopaholic. Every time she went shopping, she would spend five to six hours. Sophiahad already grown used to that, and so did the staff in the store. Therefore, they prepared magazinesof Sophia's preference to help her pass the time.

After all, Katherine was a celebrity with some social standing. Paparazzi followed her every day, so she

would always go to the few branded stores she was familiar with.

When they entered the store, the staff would close the doors and put out a sign indicating they werehaving a break.

Usually, no one would enter. However, it couldn't stop people from barging in.

Bethany could not do anything about Alexander, but she was unwilling to let go of the loss she sufferedthe other day. After some scouting, she found out that Katherine and Sophia were going shoppingtogether that day. Bethany purposedly invited Kristen out, planning to use Kristen to embarrass Sophia.

Bethany purposely brought Kristen downstairs, then went upstairs and pretended to replace Sophia thereby accident.

As expected, Kristen was agitated by the sight of how relaxed Sophia was.

Kristen was Alexander's mother. The staff recognized her and tried to stop her from entering, but shebarged in. They didn't dare to actually stop her.

Therefore, Sophia had just taken a sip of her coffee when she heard a harsh voice. “Sophia, you surehave the guts to splurge the Xenos family's money here.”

Sophia furrowed her brows upon hearing Kristen's voice. The former turned her hand and immediatelysaw Kristen walk toward her with a bag in her hand.

Next to Kristen was the person Sophia kicked into the pool a few days ago. Judging by the way theylooked, Sophia could immediately guess what happened.

Sophia did not answer Kristen. She sarcastically smiled at Bethany and asked, “Did you get too muchwater into your head that night, Ms. White?”

She actually wanted to use Kristen to teach me a lesson?

Sophia was amused, and she did laugh.

Bethany almost lost the smile she had forced herself to put on when she saw the grin on Sophia's face.“Mdm. Lambe is talking to you, Ms. Yarrow.”

“Really?” Sophia raised her brow. She shifted her gaze to Kristen, acting as though she had justnoticed her presence. “Oh. Long time no see, Old Mrs. Xenos.”

Kristen was sixty-two years old that year. Thus, it was fine for her to be addressed that way, but shedisliked it when other people called her that.

Yet, Sophia just had to call her “Old Mrs. Xenos” right off the bat. Kristen's face stiffened. “You've grownruder and ruder! No wonder Alex doesn't want you anymore.”

Sophia chuckled and said, “Old Mrs. Xenos, it seems you're confused. I was the one who asked for thedivorce.”

Kristen didn't believe her. She scoffed, “Haha. That's just a lie you tell other people.”

“Look at this, Soph.” Just then, Katherine walked out of the fitting room.

She had just tried on a new dress. She didn't expect to see that old hag, Kristen, when she came out ofthe fitting room.

Her facial expression changed as she paced toward Sophia. Katherine coldly glanced at the staff andasked, “Why are there other people here?”

“I'm truly sorry about this, Ms. Quinn. Mrs. Xenos wanted to come in, and we...”

With Katherine's personality, she wouldn't dare to stand up if she was the one being bullied. However, ifthe victim was Sophia, she would put up a fight even if it was a losing fight.

“I've booked the whole place. You guys can only serve me today. Get rid of all the outsiders.”
