Chapter 79
The bodyguards‘ faces subed as they closed in on Simone again
“You really think these amateurs can take me down?” Simone neered, cracking her knuckles and stepping forward.
In just a few minutes, the bodyguards were sprawled across the floor, groaning and writhing in pain.
Everyone from the Miller family, along with Sophia, stared at Simone in stunned disbelief.
That was amazing! You really showed them!” Sophia cheered, clapping enthusiastically
After years of being humiliated by the Miller family, this moment felt like sweet revenge. Sophia hadn’t felt this exhilaration in ages.
The Miller family were caught off guard by Simone’s fighting skills, their expressions shifting from shock to mease.
Just then, a servant brought over the fish chowder Sophia had been eating earlier. Simone picked up the bowl, sniffing it carefully but detecting nothing unusual.
Frowning slighaly, she dipped her finger into the chowder and tasted a small amount.
The moment the taste registered, Simone’s expression darkened, “Aria, you’re absolutely despicable. How dare you drug my aunt with birth control pilla
Everyone knows that taking birth control pills for an extended period can harm a woman’s reproductive system, even leading to infertility.
“Birth control pills? Why? How could you do this to me?” Sophia’s eyes turned red as she glared at Aria,
She couldn’t understand it–Kevin was the infertile one. She thought, “Why did the Miller family make me take the blame? And secretly drug me with birth control pills to make it true?”
The thought of unknowingly taking those pills for over a year sent a chill down her spine. She had almost lost her chance to ever be a mother.
The Miller family were nothing short of monsters Overwhelmed with rage. Sophia clawed at Revin’s face, leaving angry red marks. Still not cansted, she slapped him hard, the sound ringing out sharply.
“You scumbag Kevin. I wasted the best years of my life on you, I want a divorce!” she screamed, her voice trembling with fury.
Tears streamed down her face as she shouted at Kevin, her emotions completely out of control.
Simone worried that Sophia might cry herself sick, quickly stepped forward to support her.
“Let’s go home first, Simone said softly.
Soplica nodded. She had no interest in seeing anyone from the Miller family right,now.
After marrying Kevin, Sophia gave up her dreams and hobbies to become a full–time housewife.
She had gone from a bright, confident young woman to a middle–aged wife whose life revolved entirely around her husband and family. She couldn’t help but feel like she lud failed in life.
Simone had always seen Sophia as lively and full of energy during visits to Irwin Manor, but this was the first time Simone had seen her so downcast
Simone said softly, “Sophia, divorce isn’t the end–it’s just the beginning of a new chapter.
Simone wasn’t great at comforting people and wasn’t sure if her words would
Sophia felt warmth in her heart upon hearing Simone’s words.
The Irwin family had always been cold and distant. Soplija had never experienced true familial warmth there, which was why she had desperately sught validation from the Miller family after marrying into it.
For

\person standing by her side now was Simone, the niece who had grown up away from the Irwin family.
Sophia rubbed her sore eyes, trying hard to hold back her tears.

“Simone. I wasted my youth on that scumbag. I’m thirty now, and I don’t even know if I have any worth left, Sophia said.
Her dreams and youthful passions had long been eroded by the years spent as a full–time housewife
“It’s really not as bad as you think,” Simone said gently,
Simone couldn’t fully understand why the divorce weighed so heavily on Sophia. To her, it seemed like a fresh start
She said, “Sophia, you’re only thirty. After the divorce, you can go back to doing the work you love. You could even get a cat or a dog to keep you
company

“Who knows? Maybe in a few years, you’ll meet someone amazing and have adorable kids of your own. Don’t be scared–happiness is just for you around the corner, Simone added with a reassuring smile.
For seven years. Sophia’s world revolved entirely around Kevin and the Miller family. Simone understood Sophia’s fear of life after divorce, but she knew Sophia had to face it head–on
“Do you think I can really be happy!” Sophia’s eyes sparkled with a hint of hope.
Seeing her mood improve, Simone encouraged her further, “Of course! Think back to when you graduated college what was your biggest dream?”
The mention of her dream seemed to ignite something in Sophia. Her eyes lit up with excitement as she looked at Simone. “I wanted to be an
amazing fashion designer.”
Simone smiled, noticing the renewed energy in her. “It’s not too late. You can still chase the dream you once gave up on”
“Simone, thank you” Sophia’s eyes grew misty with emotion.
Sophia could tell Simone was trying every possible to comfort her, Sophia’s mood had indeed improved significantly.
Over the next few days, Simone stayed by Sophia’s side, helping her move to a new place, finalize the divorce paperwork, and even prepare some presents for her
To Sophia’s surprise, what she thought would be an unbearable period turned out to be unexpectedly liberating.
It had only been a week since the divorce, yet Sophia found herself in a better state than before. She felt like a new person.
That evening. Simone took Sophia to a restaurant, saying she wanted to introduce her to someone who could help Sophia achieve her dream
Sophia assumed it would be one of Simone’s classmates or friends. But when a tall woman sat down across from her, she finally realized who it was
“Oh my gosh. Ms. Bryant Sophia shot to her feet, looking like a starstruck fan.
Simone laughed and rugged her back into her seat. “Relax. She’s just my
friend.”
“Okay,” Sophia said with a goofy grin, completely swept up in her joy.
Sophia had met Clara briefly once before and knew about her connection to Simone Buthe thought of Clara’s status still made her nervous.
After all, this was Clara–the president of Juno Royale and one of its renowned designers.
Clara greeted Simone with a playful tug on laer hair. “Simone, it’s been agest I miss you crazy.
She hadn’t seen Simone in a long time and was thrilled when Simone reached out to her.
I missed you too,” Simone replied warmly. She was never one to hold back when it came to expressing affection for those she cared abasit.
After their brief exchange, Simone turned to introductions. “I didn’t get a chance to properly introduce you last time. This is my aunt, Sophia”
“Hello,” Clara said, her demeanor far friendlier than the last time they met. She extended her hand with a smile.
Sophia eagerly shook her hand. “Hello, Ms. Bryant
Cara chuckled, “I’m Simone’s friend. Just call me Clara”
Clara got straight to the point. “Simone told me you’re passionate about design. We have openings at Juno Royale’s domestic branch. Would you be
interested?”
Sophia froze, feeling like she’d just won the lottery.
