Chapter 9

I had just arrived home, after being warmed by Jacob coming home from the charity dinner.

I turned on the television, to liven up the evening atmosphere at home. I stretched my body, feeling pain.

Drtt!

The sound of my cell phone rang, my hand swiftly took the cell phone that was in my bag. My eyes read Rachel's name written on the cellphone screen.

My hand accepted the telephone call swiftly. "Hello Rachel, what's wrong?" I asked, starting the conversation.

There was a commotion on the other side, making me a little suspicious. What happened to Rachel there? My mind wondered.

"Sophia, where are you? You're still at the charity banquet, right?” Rachel asked in a panicked voice, I became even more suspicious.

"No, I was already home when Jacob took me home," I answered. There was an annoyed sigh from the other side. "What's wrong Rachel? What happened?"

“You have to come here immediately, Sophia. Your husband and Jacob are here. They're trending, and they're making a big deal about what happened at the charity banquet," said Rachel, explaining what happened. I immediately fell silent in shock, why could this happen again? It turned out that Jacob had gone to the banquet instead of going home.

“I hope you can come here soon, Sophia.”

Tut!

The phone was turned off unilaterally, I was silent for a long time. I just realized that if I have to move faster, I can no longer delay waiting for everything.

“Why did Jacob come there again? Ah!" I was annoyed, so I quickly took my bag and was about to go to the charity banquet.

By using a private vehicle, I can definitely reach my destination quickly. Throughout the journey, my thoughts were always focused on them.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the location of the charity banquet when they heard a very clear commotion from outside.

My feet ran fast, so I could immediately get into the debate. Rachel has been waiting for me since earlier.

"Why are you coming home anyway!" Rachel was annoyed, I didn't answer straight away. My eyes fell on Jacob and Daniel who were arguing in front of many people.

"Daniel as her husband, should he be able to spend money to buy his wife jewels? It's time for someone else to buy it." I turned to the source of the voice, they were speaking very lightly as if they didn't feel someone's feelings.

"He doesn't want to spend a lot of money, if I were his wife I'd better leave him." My eyes turned again in another direction, apparently, this was what Rachel said. There were many public remarks, which caused Daniel to become noisy with Jacob.

Daniel seemed to be looking at Jacob in front of him in annoyance. "You shouldn't give anything to Sophia, because it's not your right!" Daniel's words were very sharp, I kept looking at him to see Jacob's response.

Jacob chuckled slightly. "Why? It's everyone's right to give gifts to anyone, even their husband," Jacob answered lightly.

Daniel took a step forward, he pulled Jacob's shirt collar. I was about to come closer when Rachel's hand blocked me from approaching them.

“If you go there, the problem will get bigger. Just see what happens," Rachel said coldly, making me unable to move anymore.

"But everyone says that I can't afford jewels for Sophia! You're trying to embarrass me, right?!” Daniel snapped, both hands still pulling Jacob's collar.

“You are the one who feels embarrassed? I never wanted to embarrass you at all, maybe," answered Jacob, he pushed Daniel's body to let go of Daniel's hand.

"Jacob is not wrong, he is very good at giving gifts to other people, especially when he dares to open his wallet, unlike his husband, right?" said one of the guests, making them turn to him.

I saw Daniel getting angry, his face was bright red. I saw the guest who spoke, he immediately left after saying that.

Daniel's hand pointed at the guests who had left, but his eyes were fixed on Jacob. “Listen, what are they saying? You're just hungry for praise, right? And wants to embarrass me here," said Daniel.

“I feel insulted! You know that my share price now has a big impact on increasing funds! You should support, not bring down!" snapped Daniel, who seemed agitated, he looked around him with a very sharp gaze.

"The words you said earlier made my self-esteem fall in front of many people!" Daniel snapped again, unable to hold back his emotions.

Jacob grabbed Daniel's shoulder, but Daniel quickly brushed him off. “Why do you feel insulted now? What they say is true, isn't it?” Daniel was about to hit Jacob, but Jacob was still able to dodge

I felt the atmosphere was getting less and less conducive, absolutely no one wanted to calm the two of them down. They just watched as if it was really good news

“I WILL REPLY FOR THIS INSULT TWICE THIS!” Daniel's shout echoed throughout the room, I even got goosebumps hearing Daniel's words which looked serious in his eyes.

.

Jacob nodded his head, seeming unafraid of Daniel's words. “Okay, I'm waiting for your reply. How long can you repay all this? I'll wait," answered Jacob.

"Jacob, why is it getting worse and worse? But I'm happy because maybe this will be the beginning of Daniel's failure," I thought, looking at Jacob and Daniel in turn.

Rachel grabbed my hand while still watching the very stressful news in front of her. Out of the crowd, it made me wonder what he would do

"What's wrong, Rachel? Why did you pull me here," I was annoyed.

"I have news, if my brother returns to China, maybe it will pose a threat to the family, what do I do?" Rachel said suddenly. I became silent, hearing his words.

Rachel's face looked confused, I was also worried about what to do now.

“It's better for you to work in a company, to protect your family's property. We all need to move now,” I suggested. Because there is no other way, that is the only way that is most effective for now.

Rachel nodded in agreement. "Okay, I'll look for a company that is hiring and I'll work there," Rachel answered. I smiled, this is something I have been waiting for for a long time.

“What about the debate inside? I don't think anyone saw me inside," I said. Should I go back inside to watch the debate? It would be a shame if I went home but annoyed if I went inside.

"Let's just see the conditions inside first, if it gets better we will go home. We need to know what the fuss is about in there," Rachel suggested. I could only surrender to follow Rachel to see the situation in her house.

After the argument, I went straight home. My mother was waiting at home, worried because I hadn't come home early that night.

“Sorry, I just got home, Mom. There was a little problem there," I said.

"What happened there?" Asked my mother, I immediately fell silent. I can't possibly tell you all this now, it would be too untimely.

I have to find an excuse. Yes, for a logical reason. "It's a very long story, I'll tell you another time." My mother just nodded briefly, she also understood what was happening.

Drtt!

My cell phone rang again, and I became annoyed. I swiftly took out my cell phone, and immediately my body was annoyed when I found out who was calling me in the grave.

"Who's, Sophia?" My mom asked, so I showed her my cell phone. "Just pick it up, who knows if there is something important.”

"There will be nothing important other than wanting to destroy this family." I was forced to receive a telephone call from my grandmother, who I was too lazy to accept.

"Hello Sophia, sorry grandma disturbed you at night," she said from the other side. Just hearing her voice, my emotions immediately peaked and I didn't like hearing it.

"Yes, What's up? Tell me immediately," I said.

“Grandma just wants you to go back to the old house, huh?”

I frowned in surprise. "What for? Why else would I go back to my old house?” I asked irritably because maybe I sensed that my grandmother was doing something.

"It's okay, grandma just wants you to come back home. Grandma is waiting for you to come home tomorrow, okay?"

Tut!

The phone was turned off unilaterally, I became annoyed as if this was forcing me to come there.

"What's wrong, Sophia?" asked my mother, who seemed to understand the annoyed look on my face.

I was silent for a moment. "Grandma told me to go back to my old house," I answered, making my mother also surprised to hear it.

“Why did she do that? Are you still going there?” asked My mother, she looked at me worriedly

I sighed resignedly. "I'll be there,” I answered with determination. "I will no longer tolerate what she did, and now it's time for me to face it all."

I won't let her win like that. Now, I should be able to repay everything to the old grandmother.

My mother held my hand. "Can I come with you?" She definitely knows my condition now, my mother is very understanding, and she can definitely feel the inner bond between children.

I looked at my mother sharply, when my mother wanted to go with me. "Are you right, you want to come home with me?" I asked, getting stronger again. I'm just afraid that my mother will become a target for my grandmother too.

My mother nodded, stroking my hand gently. With great affection, from the look in her eyes, it could be seen that my mother was very worried about me.

"Yes, I will accompany you there. Even though I can't help much, I'm ready to fight if someone wants to beat you." I immediately hugged my mother's body tightly, my mother really loved me.

"Thank you very much, Mom, you always want to accompany me by my side." I'm proud to have a mother like her.

"This is your duty as a mother to protect her child from whatever it is," answered the mother.

This time I will really give everything back to the old grandmother, I won't let them go for a loop. And I will wait for the victory in all my games.
