Chapter 1251
Pam nodded and said, “It’s good that Corinne is alright. Her pregnancy is almost at full term, and I’m
worried she might give birth prematurely if she gets too emotional. After all, the entire process from
pregnancy to childbirth is very risky. Oh, and by the way, don’t tell your Grandpa about today. I don’t
want that old fool to have any sort of prejudice against Corinne!”
“I understand,” said Francine.
Meanwhile, at the hotel.
Sophia danced alone in the room while listening to some jazz. Her attendant, Kevin, came in to deliver
wine to her. When he saw how much she enjoyed her dancing, he asked curiously, “Why do you look
so happy, miss?”
Sophia slowed her movements down and chuckled. “Do I look happy?”
Kevin nodded and uncorked the red wine. He then said, “You do! You seem to be in a particrly good
mood today. Did something special happen?”
Sophia stopped dancing. “That Corinne woman finally showed up today!”
Kevin stopped pouring the wine. “But isn’t she your rival in love? Why would you be so happy to see
her?”
Sophiaughed. “Jeremy will always regard her as the apple of his eye if she doesn’t show up, and I
won’t get a chance to rece her! By showing up, she’ll expose all her ws so that Jeremy will grow
tired of her. I can sense Jeremy has started to resent her today.”
Kevin did not really understand any of that, but he nheless poured the ss of red wine and gave it
to Sophia. “Does that mean you’re about to win Mister Jeremy’s heart?”
“It won’t be that easy,” said Sophia after taking a sip. “There’s still a long way to go before I can win
Jeremy’s heart. Jeremy treats me as a friend right now, but the position Corinne upies in his heart
will finally be free once he develops a seething hatred for Corinne. I’m in no rush, though, so he can
take his timeing to terms with it.”
Kevin felt a little distressed when he thought about everything she went through. “You’ve been secretly
in love with him for so many years, and Corinne never would’ve happened if you confessed to him
earlier! After all, he chose you when he was looking to use a fake marriage to deal with his family’s
elders!”
Sophia seemed unbothered. “You don’t know anything. Certain things mustn’t be rushed. Didn’t Anya
confess her love at the beginning and use emotional ckmail to try and win Jeremy’s heart? In the
end, Jeremy never even took her for anything!

“I’ve never regarded Anya as a rival because I know she’ll never seed. If I confess my love to
Jeremy, he’ll keep a distance from me instead! The losses won’t be worth the gains! A mature man like
Jeremy would have self-respect and strong self-control. He won’t allow himself to have an affair with a
woman! The most effective way to do as I do and take things slowly.
“My n is the most effective—I’ll be there for him in silence, let him get used to my presence, and
slowly make it difficult for him to separate from me.”
Kevin looked at Sophia with admiration after her brief lecture.
Sophia swirled the ss of red wine in her hand. “Corinne is pretty and has a very interesting
personality, but her low social status is one w she can never get rid of. A low social status means
she’ll have low knowledge as well. The Holdens’ status would be lowered significantly if she was with
her. Greg doesn’t like having a granddaughter-inw with low social status. I trust Jeremy would be
wise enough to choose me in the end!”
Sophia drank her red wine with confidence and looked out the window with a pleased smile.
The next day. Xante and Aaron left for thepany early in the morning.
Annie had to sleep on the sofa alone as she did not knock on Corinne’s door. When she woke up in the
morning, she discovered she was on Aaron’s bed. After her initial shock, she stood up abruptly and
noticed she was alone on the bed. She still had her clothes on too, which allowed her to sigh in relief.
