Chapter 13

Yvonne smiled and said, "Sophia, you're here. No traffic on the way?"

Sophia, wearing a white dress with her long, straight black hair cascading over her shoulders, responded sweetly, "Madam. Yvonne, there was no traffic. Lucas is a great driver. We got here smoothly." Frederick added, "Now that you're here, let's go wash our hands before we eat."

His tone was warm, a stark contrast to his cold demeanor towards Aveline.

Even the servants' faces brightened with smiles. "Miss Winter, knowing you were coming, the chef prepared many of your favorite dishes."

The previously tense atmosphere was lightened up with Sophia's arrival.

Aveline stood aside, dazed as she watched the scene unfold.

The Tudor family didn't like her. They all preferred Sophia.

She suddenly understood why Lucas had agreed to bring her to the Tudor family. He was indirectly telling her that the family didn't like or welcome her.

It was a cruel way to crush her hopes.

The ironic part was that she had dressed up carefully, hoping the Tudor family would accept and like her.

Aveline clenched her hands, her nails digging into her palms, a sharp pain reminding her to stay rational.
