She hung up the phone , stuffed the letter into the bottom of her jewelry box , and took a deep breath to calm herself . As soon as I opened the door , I bumped into Ella coming up the stairs . The two of them locked eyes , and the air instantly froze . Sophie suppressed her heartbeat and forced a smile , " Ms. Jefferson , Cadoc is in the study . Would you like me to bring him a cup of hot milk ? " She stared at Ella's face intently , not missing any slightest change in expression .. Ella raised her eyebrows slowly , her gaze shifting from her swollen face to the milk cup in her hand . Suddenly , she let out a cold laugh and took the cup . " Wow ! " A whole cup of hot milk was poured directly onto Sophie's face ! " Ah ! Sophie screamed and stepped back , milk dripping down her hair , looking disheveled . " Are you crazy ?! " Ella threw the empty cup to the ground , and glass shards scattered everywhere . She curled her lips and looked disdainful , " This kind of thing should be done by servants . What are you , dare to come and boss me around ? " Sophie was so angry that she was shaking all over : " How dare you - " " What's going on ? Cadoc asked as he emerged from the study , frowning at the scene before him . " Ella crossed her arms , looking defiantly , " So what if I splashed you ? " She glanced at Sophie and said , " At least I dare to take responsibility for my actions , unlike some peo- ple who only use those despicable means . " After speaking , she turned and walked away , her high heels mercilessly stepping on the glass shards on the ground , making a piercing crunching sound .

Sophie followed Cadoc into the study , her voice tinged with tears : " Cadoc , if Ella really hates me so much , I wish I hadn't come back ... " Cadoc rubbed his temples and spoke in a relatively gentle tone : " Don't overthink it , she was probably just in a bad mood . " " Why is she in a bad mood ? " Is it because of my presence ? " Sophie's tears fell like broken beads . " I know , I shouldn't have been between you two in the first place ... ' Cadoc poured a glass of whiskey and remained silent , not responding . Sophie saw the situation and cried even harder : " Do you not love me anymore ? There is no one in this world who truly loves me . If even you want to abandon me , then what is the point of me being alive ? " As soon as the words fell , she suddenly stood up and rushed towards the French window . Cadoc acted quickly and grabbed her wrist , spilling the expensive whiskey all over the floor . " Stop it ! his voice carried a suppressed anger . " Sophie threw herself into his arms and sobbed , saying , " Can't you at least punish her like you used to ? " She lifted her swollen eyes , " She treated me like that today , I'm really upset .
