Chapter 102 Standing by Her Daughter’s Side 

Sophia wasn’t just spouting words; she actually charged forward, aiming to kick the troublemaker out! Isabella stood guard in front of Daniel, blocking Sophia. 

“You freaking witch, if you dare make a move, I’ll scratch you so bad, not even your mother will recognize you!” Isabella raised her delicate hand, her nails painted coffee brown, flashing them menacingly at Sophia. With the length and sharpness of her nails, she could easily tear up Sophia’s face beyond 

recognition. 

“Dear, are you not going to control your precious daughter? She wants to scratch my face for some country boy?” Sophia whined to Chris. 

Chris had seen this drama countless times at home; clashes were almost a daily everit. That’s precisely why he had invested in New York and put Isabella in charge–to keep the two ladies apart and avoid dealing with their squabbles! 

He was at his wit’s end with the two women. 

Deciding to lay down, he faced Daniel and said, “Go ahead. I want to see how you plan to lift this curse. 

Daniel approached the bed, clutching his plastic bag. Sophia’s eyebrows knitted in disdain. “You really are a country hick–with that dirty plastic bag reeking of mud. This is New York’s most luxurious hotel, and they let you in with that? The security tonight should all be fired!” 

“This hotel just got bought by my dad, and I’ll be running it. I decide how the security operates here. You better shut your mouth!” Isabella retorted. 

Unable to outmatch Isabella, Sophia ran to Chris’s bedside. “Dear, look at what your daughter called me- 

a whore!” 

“Well,” Chris replied, “whores are known for looking pretty. She was complimenting you!” 

Sophia had been Chris’s mistress, and he always felt guilty toward his ex–wife. So, when Sophia and Isabella argued, he usually sided with his daughter. Deep down, he knew that Sophia wasn’t with him for love. If the day came that he lost all his wealth, Sophia would surely leave him. But Isabella wouldn’t. His daughter would always be there, rich or poor. 1 

However, a woman like Sophia was a different story entirely. 

Chris’s words left Sophia fuming with a red face, but she dared not say anything more. She was smart enough to transform from mistress to wife, and she knew full well that she could not replace Isabella in Chris’s heart. Her only strategy was to bear a son to compete with Isabella. But her womb didn’t work. 

She had been with Chris for years, never took precautions when making love, yet she never got pregnant. After medical checkups, Sophia knew her body wasn’t the problem. The issue had to be Chris’s. She had brought it up multiple times, but it only enraged Chris, who insisted he was problem–free and put the blame on her. Chris flat–out refused to visit the hospital.
