Chapter 102 – Tense Atmosphere
Hearing whispers from several people in the room, Rya immediately opened her voice.
"Now it's been proven, if the girl who looks good is the one who seizes the men, the proof is that she was taken by Michael…". Rya said while grinning at Sophia.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lawrence burned with emotion to see the arrival of Michael's family. She was even more angry when she saw Sophia being held by Michael.
Sophia noticed her mother's expression and began to worry about her condition.
"Mr.. Walton … Please have a seat!". Said Mr. Hans gently and politely.
"No need!". Answer Mr. Walton coldly.
"I'll have my guest move so you can sit down!". Said Mr. Hans while asking his prospective besan to move to the next sofa.
Charlotte couldn't stand Sophia who seemed to cling to Michael so she started to speak.
"Mr Michael…" Charlotte narrowed her eyes while calling Michal's name in annoyance.
Michael glanced at Charlotte expressionlessly.
"Actually what is the relationship between Mr. Michael and this seductive girl? I heard your engagement failed because of her, is that true?". Charlotte asked while pointing disdainfully at Sophia.
Sophia remained calm and unaffected by Charlotte's question, while Michael was starting to lose his temper.
"She is..".
"She is my favorite daughter-in-law". Said Mrs. Anggi preceded Michael.
Everyone froze when they heard Mrs. Such a resolute one. Even Sophia and Michael didn't think that Mrs. Anggi would say that.
While Mr. Walton glanced at his wife with a complicated expression.
Mr. Walton was even more astonished when he saw his wife's cynical look, because it was the first time he had seen her like that. A year ago, his wife was a gentle woman and never got angry.
Mrs. Anggi caressed Sophia's cheek, which looked red and there was a little blood on the corner of her lips.
Mrs. Anggi also glowed cynically towards everyone in the room.
"Tell me who dared to slap my daughter-in-law until she bled like this?".
Hearing the question Mrs. Anggi, Michael immediately noticed Sophia's face.
Instantly Michael immediately felt heartbroken, he caressed Sophia's cheek gently while asking, "Honey, your cheeks are red, are you hurt?".
Sophia held Michael's hand with a smile. "I'm okay, don't zoom in anymore okay!".
Seeing Michael and Sophia's display of affection, all the girls in the room started with envy.
"Oh my God, so romantic…".
"Yeah… I also want to be caressed by a handsome young man like him…".
"Shopia is really lucky".
Meanwhile, Mrs. Anggi was busy looking at everyone in the room, while Mrs. Claudia looked pale and looked down.
"No wonder she can tell which luxury goods are genuine and which are not, it turns out that she is the wife of a rich man…". Mrs. Claudia was shaking.
Suddenly someone pointed at Mrs. Claudia, and at once Mrs. Angie looked at her.
"Oh.. So you did it? How dare you injure my precious daughter-in-law from the Walton family…!".
"I'm sorry Mrs. Anggi! I really didn't know she was your daughter-in-law, I thought she was a maid in this house because her appearance was very simple". Said Mrs. Claudia with a sad and trembling expression.
"It is because of her simplicity that she becomes valuable, unlike someone who claims to be a socialite but has a very bad character." Said Mrs. Anggi glanced at Charlotte who had been silent for a while with a strange expression as well as her grandmother.
"Shit, why is she glancing at me? Is she sarcastic at me?". Charlotte thought angrily.
"Mr. Walton, please forgive my wife! Because it's my son's happy day so let's sit down and chat casually! Aren't we going to be a big family soon?". Charlotte's future father-in-law said gently.
Mr. Walton turned to Michael while saying, "Michael… Cancel all cooperation with their company! Then withdraw all the shareholders if they refuse, then also cut off cooperation with those who refuse!".
Hearing his words, Charlotte's future father-in-law turned pale, as did her future husband, who had only been CEO of the company for a few months.
"Please don't do this Mr. Michael! I know my mother has gone too far but don't bring up our cooperation! Moreover, soon I will marry your wife's sister..". Said Charlotte's future husband while kneeling begging Michael.
The biggest collaboration ever received by PT Mitra is the one from the W Group. So, it is only natural for them to panic, especially if all shareholders are withdrawn from PT Mitra then it is certain that the company will go bankrupt immediately.
Michael looked at Charlotte's future husband's family with deathly eyes, he then said, "Apologizing is easy, but what about my wife's injuries? I've insured every part of my wife's body, and now you guys have hurt her face. So, not only your company will receive the consequences but be prepared to accept claims from the insurers too!".
Hearing Michael's words, Sophia immediately felt sorry.
"Honey, don't do that! Poor them. So, forgive them because I have forgiven them too!".
"This is not about sorry, but this is about self-respect, they must be taught a lesson so they are not arrogant anymore!".
Sophia was at a loss for words, she knew very well how her husband loved her so much and would be furious if anyone hurt her even if it was an ant.
Everyone was shocked to hear Michael's words that he wanted to burn money just to insure his wife's body parts.
"Oh my gosh, he's really rich, to the point of insuring his wife's body at a very high price".
"Yes, he can also bring down a large company in an instant, it seems that they really are very influential people!"
The people who had insulted Sophia turned to praising Sophia.
"Now you're shocked right? The Sophia you looked down on was actually the wife of a handsome billionaire, so don't like insulting people from her appearance, what if her husband finds out that you insulted his wife?".
The middle-aged woman started to break out in a cold sweat. She knew about the W Group's business empire and she remembered that her son was also one of the employees there, she was very scared.
"Please don't say that! Later my son could be fired!".
The middle-aged woman was so scared that she chose to stay silent and hide among the other guests.
"Wait a minute! Are you not wrong to make her your wife? Just so you know! Sophia used to be a widow, and how can you marry her without the knowledge of the woman's family, isn't that rude?". Asked Charlotte who couldn't stop herself from talking anymore.
And once again everyone was surprised to hear Charlotte's words.
"What? Sophia is a widow? How is that possible?".
"Yeah, it's unbelievable."
"They keep this secret very neatly, maybe because it's her future husband who canceled his marriage to her."
Charlotte's grandmother also did not want to remain silent, she supported Charlotte by saying, "Sir… What my granddaughter said is true, she is a widow so her future husband canceled their marriage, and we believe her former husband must be an old man who ruled in his village and must have been so ugly that he left her".
Michael was so lost in his composure that he glared at Charlotte and her grandmother, "She was never a widow, because I am the man who married her eight years ago, and only because of a misunderstanding we separated, but now we are legally husband and wife".
Everyone was shocked, Charlotte and her grandmother froze because they couldn't believe the truth they had just heard.
"Mother… Charlotte.. Please shut up and don't talk anymore! Because your words will only cause trouble". Whispered Mr. Hans to Charlotte and her grandmother.
Immediately they fell silent.
Meanwhile, somewhere there is a heart that starts to hurt, her blood boils even more when she hears Michael's confession.
Instantly her heart ached and her breath began to rush, because she couldn't stand the pain anymore, Mrs. Lawrence passed out.
"Mother…". Sophia shouted as she drew closer to her mother who was already lying on the sofa.
Everyone panicked and focused on Mrs. Lawrence.
"Mom… Please wake up! Please forgive Sophia..". Sophia cried while patting her mother's cheek to wake her up.
Seeing Sophia hysterical, Michael immediately approached her.
"Honey, we'd better take Mom straight to the hospital!".
"Yeah right! Let's take her to the hospital!". Said Mr. Hans panicked.
Meanwhile, Charlotte and her grandmother had no reaction.
But everyone looked pityingly at Mrs. Lawrence who looked limp and pale.
Quickly, Michael lifted Mrs. Lawrence into his arms and carried her, followed by Sophia.
While Mr. Hans went with Michael's parents' car.
