"Enough, Gloria! Mind your status. Even if my mother has left the Jones family, she is still mine and my brother's mother. You have no right to gossip here. Go do your business,
and, I will stay for dinner tonight. Count me in for a portion. As for the rest... it's none of your concern, so don't interfere!"
"This... alright, miss. I'll go downstairs and prepare dinner."
After Gloria left, Lily Jones also left, and Sophia Green sighed in relief.
Time passed by the second, and Sophia Green felt she had never suffered like this before, crouching under the bed until she was too tired, then lying down, and crouching again when tired of lying.
She wanted to go out but was afraid of accidentally running into a cleaning maid.
She barely made it to nightfall and had just breathed a sigh of relief when she tensed up the next second upon hearing Adam Jones and Lily Jones talking at the door.
"Big brother, don't drive me away. I know I was wrong."
