Alexander spotted Sophia right after he entered the cruise ship's lounge. It was inevitable, as the latter was one of the hosts.

All the guests, including many celebrities, had dressed up for the party. Even so, Sophia looked ravishing amid the crowd.

Wearing an icy blue gown, she was so pretty as if a cold beauty walking out of the snow.

On the contrary, Sophia merely swept her glance across Alexander. Well, once the invitations are sent, we can never guess whose hands they'll end up in.

There was not much change in her expression even though she was surprised to see Alexander.

“Why is he here?”

Katherine pursed her lips, staring at Alexander with an annoyed look.

Sophia raised her eyebrows. “He's your guest.”

Katherine scoffed, “I didn't invite him! Anyway, can Megan get any bolder?”

Sophia chuckled. “Who knows?”

In the middle of their chat, a director came over to greet Sophia. The latter then raised her glass of wine out of courtesy. Her expression was neither welcoming nor distant.

Katherine escorted the director to somewhere else wisely. Meanwhile, Sophia replaced her glass of wine with grape juice.

Just when Sophia turned around, she heard Megan calling out to her. “Ms. Yarrow.”

Sophia took a glance at Megan and greeted her nonchalantly, “Ms. Queen.”

The latter gritted her teeth. “I'd like to apologize to you for what happened previously.”

Sophia raised her brows. “What happened previously?”

Despite knowing what exactly had happened, she decided to play dumb.

Megan's face darkened. Just when she was about to have an outburst, she recalled Harold's reminder and gritted her teeth. “I've accidentally pushed you at my home back then.”

“Accidentally?”

Sophia's eyebrows arched as she looked at Megan with an amused look. “You sure know how to make a joke, Ms. Queen.”

“Sophia Yarrow! You-”

Megan's face flushed red in anger. Gritting her teeth, she lifted her hand and pointed at Sophia.

Attracted by her loud voice, the guests around them subconsciously shifted their attention to the two.

Sophia merely stood there and stared at Megan.

Upon receiving her intense gaze, Megan began to cower.

She did not forget that she was in Sophia's territory.

“Anyway, it was my fault for what happened last time. I'd like to express my apology.”

Sophia took a sip of her grape juice. “So, are you here tonight to apologize to me?”

Megan did not want to admit that she came to the party to apologize.

Never had she thought that the vase in their house was a fake. Aside from her, Harold also refused to believe in Sophia's claim. Hence, he sent the vase to another appraisal company. Yet, the result turned out to be the same.

They were baffled upon knowing that the vase they had spent more than three million to buy ended up becoming a fake.

Megan would have suspected Sophia swapped the vase in secret if she and Samuel were not at the scene that night. Furthermore, there were surveillance cameras installed at her house.

However, she could not do so because she was the one watching over Sophia that night. Besides, the surveillance footage showed no peculiarity. It turned out that Sophia had not swapped the vase at her house with a fake, and the vase was a fake in the first place.

In fact, the vase's authenticity did not matter much to the Queens. They could not care less about having spent three million on a fake.

What bothered Megan the most was her recklessness in starting a bet with Sophia. She could never forget how confident she was when she made her bet, let alone the latter.

Even though the appraisal results had come out, Megan was unwilling to live-stream her apology.

She could not afford to embarrass herself, nor did she want to.

Having no intention of humiliating herself, she had no choice but to apologize to Sophia privately.

After all, embarrassing herself in front of one person was better than doing so in front of hundreds of thousands of people.

Megan clutched her gown. “You're right. I'm here tonight to apologize. I'm sorry!”

Upon hearing that, Sophia chuckled, her eyes sweeping across Megan's. “The way you apologize is quite special, Ms. Queen.”

“Don't you-”
