Billionaire’s Great Obsession

Sophia came over and stood next to Mrs. Anderson and placed her hands on Mrs. Anderson’s shoulders to show how close they were. “Sue, I’ve met her a few times. I’m rather confused and surprised how she is now Scott’s wife, I have to say. I mean, just a month ago, she was engaged to Liam Williams, and she was his private and special assistant, helping to get contracts signed by seducing their potential business partners. Then suddenly, she and Scott are married. I’m really curious about how she did it.”

On hearing so, Sue Anderson was shocked. She frowned at Brianna and questioned, “What sort of life were you living?”

Brianna wasn’t stupid. She knew what Sophia was doing. Though angered, she composed herself and said calmly, “Liam and I had a talk, and both agreed that it’s better we separate. It was the past anyway. I’m now married to Scott, and I’m content and honored to be his wife.”

Scott liked Brianna’s response, and he joined in supportively. “Mama, let the past be the past. Brianna was unlucky to have met that ungrateful guy, but she has learned. Also, she has not seduced or slept with anyone, even her ex. I know better than anyone else.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Ha-ha. I find it very difficult to believe what I have to say. Think about how many meetings at the clubs she’s attended. She must have learned how to be seductive if she wasn’t a natural born salesgirl.”

Scott threw an icy look at Sophia and said nothing. Instead, he turned to his grandpa and asked, “Shall we have a game of chess?”

Benjamin nodded, took his cane, stood up, and went to the study with Scott. Bored, Jameson went to the garden to play with the dogs. Now there was only Brianna, Sophia, and Sue in the living room.

“Sophia, I don’t have the intention to fight for Scott with you. You don’t have to be mean. If you are capable of making Scott fall in love with you, I’m ready to sign the divorce agreement at any time.” Brianna heaved a sigh and said clearly.

Brianna had meant what she said, yet somehow Sophia took it as an insult. She sat down next to Sue and said pitifully, “Sue, you see how insolent she is. She even slapped me on my face at the Anderson’s Corporation this morning.”

Sue gasped. “Did she really?!”

Brianna rolled her eyes. She had lost her patience to explain or defend herself. “Go and help in the kitchen,” Sue said to Brianna sternly as if she was a maid.

“Sure.” Brianna nodded.

“I would like to help too,” Sophia said to Sue with a smile and followed Brianna into the Kitchen.

Brianna still remembered how shocked she was when she first saw the kitchen at Scott’s place, Home for Sol. However, the kitchen was even more impressive.

“I’m a chef. You are my assistant.” Sophia said to Brianna demandingly.

“Alright.” Brianna shrugged her shoulders. She didn’t really care. “How would you like me to help then?”

“Go and clean your hands first, then prepare the ingredients on the table over there.”

Brianna took a look at the servants behind who stood awkwardly. She understood that this was their job, and Sophia was ordering her around like a servant as if she herself was Scott’s wife instead.

“Why? I guess you only know how to seduce men but know nothing about cooking.” Sophia mocked.

Mimicking Sophia’s tone, Brianna retorted, “I guess you only know how to cook and know nothing about how to love a man.” Sophia was so shocked that she lost her tongue.

Sue was standing by the door, listening. “To know how to cook is a great thing. It makes a woman a great wife.” Sue looked at Brianna coldly, then smiled at Sophia.

Sophia changed her attitude instantly now that she knew Sue was around. With a warm smile, she said gently, “Sue, thank you. Don’t worry, Brianna and I can handle it. Dinner will be ready soon.”

“Sweet girl. Just let me know if you need any help, ok?” Sue spoke affectionately and walked away.

The servants remained silent and waited for orders. Sophia looked around and gestured for them to leave. There was only Brianna and herself in the kitchen now, and she changed her attitude again.

“You are just a toy my Scott has purchased for fun. I’m impressed that you have the guts to come to visit his family as if you are really part of the family!” Sophia mocked with a sneer.

Brianna retorted, “His grandpa seems to like you a lot. Surely you know how to please him. If you can please Scott and get him to divorce me, just do it. I’m curious to know how capable you are.”

Sophia opened her mouth slightly as if to say something, but she was too enraged and stunned to utter a word. Who does she think she is to speak to me like that?!

“You were betrayed and dumped by Liam Williams! I just can’t understand how you managed to trick my Scott into marrying you. What sort of shameful tricks did you use?!”

“Ha-ha,” Brianna laughed. “I don’t know either. Why don’t you ask Scott?”

Hearing Brianna’s laugh, Sophia was even more furious. However, she still had the sense not to shout. She glared at Brianna for a while, then sneered, “I wonder why you are the only one that’s wearing a ring. What about Scott? It’s just a disguise, isn’t it? You are just showing off.”

“I am,” Brianna said plainly while putting her hand up, the diamond shining brightly under the kitchen light. “It is a shame that he’s not wearing one, but at least I’ve got a ring, and if I ever sell it or give it away, I’m sure plenty of women would fight for it.”

Enraged, Sophia clenched her fists and stomped her feet. Calm down. I can get revenge another day. Not here at the Andersons’ now. She reminded herself. “Scott won’t protect you forever. Don’t forget that you are just a nobody. If you want your mother safe, you’d better not cross me!” she threatened.
