Fat chance.

 
 

Sophia was not about to let her have her way.

Hence, she immediately threw a direct wrench into Lisa’s schemes.

“Your suggestion may be a sound one, but I’m concerned that the prospective party would be like Sofie with Evan– Unable to develop mutual feelings for each other despite being acquainted for many years. If that’s the case, I’m afraid that this plan might backfire badly, causing Evan to become increasingly attached to Nicole.”

“You’ve sure had it all figured out. In any case, it is Evan’s decision to make, if he wants to be engaged to Sofie.”

“Then, we ought to give Sofie a chance to get closer to Evan. If she is able to win Evan over, I shall approve of her joining the Seet family.”
