She glanced at Sophie’s face again. “Let go of me, you poor filth.”“Apologize,” Sophie retorted.“Impossible!” the woman replied.Sophie was getting a little annoyed with those security guards, so she let go of the short-haired rich woman before chanting a spell directed at them.They instantly disappeared, much to the bewilderment of everyone there.Meanwhile, Sophie took a deep breath calmly

Upon seeing Stanley Batton’s facial expression grow colder, the women who were against Sophie Kenwick became bolder.The rich, short-haired woman started adding more negative remarks. “Mr. Batton, you can’t let this poor filth go. She was so awful, casually using your name and attacking other people. You must punish her severely to preserve your dignity.”“That’s right. Not only could the girl not afford anything, but she even told lies here. I am honestly speechless,” a sales assistant said.“Mr. Batton, I hope you won’t let her off the hook so easily,” another staff member said.Stanley’s face suddenly turned unfriendly.Meanwhile, Sophie smiled helplessly. There was a sense of ease about her expression.To the others, her reaction was merely her attempt at keeping up with appearances, pretending to be calm when in reality, she should be panicking on the inside.Judging from Stanley’s reaction, they had high expectations that Sophie would be in trouble.Instead, she silently

If they were left behind, they’d only end up dead.The women truly felt that they had made a huge mistake today.They would never have asked for trouble if they had known this would be the outcome. They were daring and arrogant because they genuinely thought that Sophie Kenwick was a powerless and poor girl. Stanley Batton kept a calm expression on his face with an indifferent look in his eyes. “Why are you still standing around?” he directed at them, then glared at the bodyguards around him.They instantly nodded and mercilessly dragged those people outside.Although they each struggled repeatedly, nothing worked.Throughout the entire process, Sophie was smiling, not even bothering to say a single word.Her adorable face looked particularly pretty because of her smile.The bystanders loitering around were also shuddering on the inside, silently watching the development in fear.That was because many of them were part of the group that belittled his sister.Some of them
