Francine ignored Sophia and turned toward Jeremy in the hopes of unraveling the mystery. However, he left the
room before she could even ask him.
“Jeremy, where are you going?!” shouted Francine as she chased after him.
However, it was Sophia who answered her instead. “Need you ask? He must’ve gone to look for Miss Corinne.”
Annoyed, Francine turned to her impatiently. “What exactly is your relationship with my brother? What right do you
have to meddle in our family affairs?”
“Didn’t I already tell you I’m a very good friend of Jeremy’s?” answered Sophia cheerfully. Living abroad gave her a
good temper and an open mind.
For some reason, Francine could not bring herself to like Sophia. “It’s still rude for you to barge in here even if you
guys are close, so get out of here now!”

Francine frowned in annoyance. “You can sleep in your home! Don’t tell me you’re expecting us to host you!”
“But my home is abroad. I don’t have a house here, and I didn’t have time to book a hotel ’cause everything
happened so fast.”
The frown on Francine’s forehead became deeper. ‘Oh, so she lives abroad. No wonder she’s dressed so differently
than the girls here. Anyway, why the heck did Jeremy bring her back here? Isn’t he worried Corinne will get mad at
him? No, wait. Corinne is already mad at him. Is that why she ran away? Because of this girl?’
As much as she did not like Sophia, she thought it would be rude to kick her out of the house since she was a good
friend of Jeremy. After thinking through her options, she finally said roughly, “Fine. I’ll get the servants to prepare a
room for you.”
However, Sophia shook her head. “I don’t want to sleep in the guest room. Don’t you know all the bad energy will
gather in a room that doesn’t get used often? I think I’ll just sleep in this room since Miss Corinne isn’t here
anyway.”
‘Bad energy?’ Francine thought she heard wrong. ‘This girl sounds like she has a screw loose in her head!’
“Miss Sophia, you’ve got to be kidding me, right? This bedroom belongs to Jeremy and Corinne, so do you really
think it’s appropriate for you to sleep here?” asked Francine with a frown.
Sophia nodded. “I don’t see why it’s not appropriate. The two of them aren’t home, so it’s not like I’ll be sleeping
with them.”
“No. I’m not going to let you do that. It might be fine in whatever country you come from, but it’s not fine here! You
can leave the house if you don’t want to sleep in the guest room,” said Francine forcefully.
“Well, I’m not going to sleep in the guest room,” insisted Sophia. “My tarot reader told me sleeping in the guest
room will screw with my luck.”

‘What a superstitious idiot!’ thought Francine. She rolled her eyes and said, “You must’ve been scammed by your
tarot reader. I’ve never heard that sleeping in a guest room will screw with a person’s luck.”
Sophia shook her head. “It’s true! My tarot reader is very famous from where I come from. All of the things he
predicted came true. Francine, if you won’t let me sleep here, can you let me sleep in your room? I’m fine with
anywhere as long as it’s not the guest room!”
‘What? She wants to sleep in my room? Just how shameless can she be?’
“No! I don’t like other people sleeping in my room.”
At that moment, Sophia casually took off her jacket. “I guess I have no choice but to sleep here tonight.”
“What the heck is wrong with you?” shouted Francine. “Who the heck sleeps in other people’s rooms the moment
they arrive at somebody else’s home?”
Sophia shrugged. “I wouldn’t have to sleep here if you’d just agreed to let me sleep in your room.”
“Why should I agree? Who the heck do you think you are? You can’t just sleep wherever you please!”
