Chapter 436
In the evening, in the castle of the Gainsford family, Peter just returned home after dinner.
Denise and Sophie were both in the living room. Seeing Peter return, Sophie immediately stepped forward to support him. “Dad, why are you drinking so much again?”
“I’m fine.” Peter waved his hand and was helped to the sofa by Sophie to sit down.
Sophie stood up and poured Peter a cup of water. After handing it to him, she massaged him on his Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
shoulders. “Dad, I’ve told you not to work so hard. M*m and I will feel sorry.”
Hearing this, Denise sneered but did not say anything.
Sophie was helpless. She glared at Denise, signaling Denise not to speak. Otherwise, Denise and Peter would
quarrel again.
Peter was still a little patient with his daughter. “OK. I won’t next time.”
Sophie muttered, a little unhappy.
Peter changed the topic. “Mr. Becker is in the hospital. Go take a look someday.”
Although Peter did not say this explicitly to anyone, it was very clear that such things were Denise’s
business.
“Well.” Denise nodded. She had long known about this matter. Even if Peter did not say it, she would arrange
for someone to go.
That was it. Denise would not go personally.
As the hostess of one of the Ten Families in Boston, someone from a second-rate family like the Becker
family wasn’t worthy of Denise’s personally visiting.
“M*m and I were just talking about this.” Sophie was also interested. A whole day was enough for her to find
everything out.
“It is said that Jaydon had brought that woman home. His parents didn’t agree, so they quarreled with Mr.
Becker. Mr. Becker got so furious that he had a cerebral hemorrhage,” Sophie said.
Peter didn’t know much about the details and was not interested. He just felt that with the way things are
going with the Becker family, a lot of people are gonna start making things more difficult for them. Peter
didn’t know if Jaydon could hold on.
“I heard that the woman was called Elaina Gainsford. How could she have the same surname as me? How
unlucky!” Sophie didn’t like women from small cities, so she really didn’t like Elaina to have the same
Surname as her.
The surname Gainsford was very noble in Sophie’s eyes. As the daughter of one of the Ten Families in Boston, Sophie had been proud since she was born. There was no way that she could tolerate a woman from a small place with the same surname as her.
Before Peter came back, Sophie was discussing with Denise whether to find that woman and ask that woman to change her surname.
Of course, Sophie didn’t dare to say this in front of Peter. She knew that Peter hated people who took advantage of their power to bu*ly others the most.
However, when Peter heard Elaina’s name, he was completely stunned. His eyes were full of disbelief. “What did you say that woman’s name was?”
“Elaina Gainsford. What’s wrong, Dad?” Sophie looked at Peter in confusion, not quite understanding why he
asked this.
Peter shook his head and said, “It’s nothing. It just feels like it is meant to be. The woman has the same
surname as us.”
“It’s not meant to be. It’s simply unlucky.” Sophie frowned and was extremely dissatisfied.
However, Peter was unhappy because of Sophie’s words and scolded her, “Sophie, how could you talk like
that? Haven’t I told you that?”
Sophie lowered her head, not daring to meet Peter’s eyes.
“The Gainsford family does have some money, but don’t be so arro*ant and willful just because of this. There
are various people with the same surname as us. How can it be bad luck?” Peter was not very happy. He felt
that Sophie was spoiled by Denise.
Sophie actually has developed so many bad habits, Peter thought.
Sophie pursed her lips, feeling a little wronged. “Dad, why are you yelling at me because of an outsider?”
“It’s not because of an outsider but your conduct,” Peter lectured.
However, Sophie couldn’t accept that. In any case, she knew that her father had taught her a lesson because of an outsider. Sophie immediately became hostile towards Elaina, who Sophie had never seen before.
Sophie thought, what the h*ll? How could Dad scold me because of a woman like her?
Elaina, you are doomed!
