I had no appetite and pushed away my chopsticks, about to leave when Sophie Mitchell suddenly called out to me.
She leaned in, grinning as she jingled the cross hanging from her neck. “I heard from Ginger that this cross was from your mom. With it, my baby will definitely be born safely,” she said, emphasizing the word “safely.”
I couldn’t help but move closer, only to be abruptly pushed away by Ginger Franklin.
He protectively wrapped his arms around Sophie Mitchell, frowning down at me. “It’s just an cross. I’ll get you as many as you want. Sophie already thanked you. Don’t be so petty,” he said.

I quietly moved to another queue.

Before I could react, I was slapped hard across the face by Sophie Mitchell.
Her abdomen was slightly rounded, and she looked at me with disdain.
“Nina Davis, how pathetic are you?“.
“When you had your premature birth, why didn’t you die along with that bastard child?”
“Back then, I told Ginger Franklin I didn’t want you to have his baby. He even cut one of your fallopian tubes during the surgery, but here you are, pregnant again?” Hearing

“Wonder who Ginger Franklin will choose this time?”
Before I could react, she dragged me down the stairs.

- us.
“Save me…”
In my panic, I clung to the railing, watching as Ginger Franklin chose Sophie Mitchell over me, pulling her into his arms on the stairs.
