The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1479

"What? Not that darn Sophia again!" Veronica exploded in anger at the mention of the name. She utterly despised Sophia. Hearing about Sophia's latest shenanigans made her want to rush over there and give her a piece of her mind.

Sophia was like a bad penny. She turned up everywhere. Three years ago, she was the reason Ellinor and her brother were forced apart. Now she was back, stirring up trouble again.

Unbelievable!

If only Veronica could get her hands on her.

Ellinor, on the other hand, was feeling exhausted. She didn't know why, but she felt particularly worn out today, more so than usual.

Perhaps it was because of Balfour’s odd behavior during their car ride home. His unusual attitude had kept her mind racing. She was wondering if he was hiding something.

Judging by Balfour's reaction, she guessed that his conversation with the auction house didn't go well. Otherwise, why would he look so troubled?

With Balfour's status and influence, the auction house wouldn't dare disrespect him. Something was amiss.

Veronica noticed Ellinor's troubled expression. She put down Layla and sat next to Ellinor.

"Don't worry about it. It’s not the end of the world if we can't get that piece of land. Sophia and her family's stuff isn't all that special. Greenhaven is a big place. We can afford any piece of land we want." Veronica said, trying to console Ellinor.

Ellinor just gave a wry smile. "I have my reasons for wanting that land. But it's not up to us anymore. In an auction, once the hammer falls, the deal is sealed. If there's no issue, we must pay. Otherwise, it's against the law."

Veronica frowned. "That's so unfair! Paying ten times the market value to Sophia's family would drive me crazy. We're not short on cash, but why should that woman profit off us? She's disgusting!"
