Chapter 279
The Vinci Rivera Group was the core of the advanced technology sector in the country, and the
professional requirements of working with them were extremely high. So, they worked with some of the
best local universities to specifically train the students as the future workforce to meet their demands.
They needed a few people to promote their new campaign, and Sophia happened to be one of the
chosen ones.
Firstly, the university she graduated from was one of the universities the Vinci Rivera Group was
interested in. Secondly, Sophia was an online celebrity and influential among university students. She
used to be an orphan, yet she joined the Vinci Rivera Group after she graduated. Her life story is pretty
motivating for most people.
Sophia graduated in the same year as Lydia’s son. Even though her university was not as good. as
Calton, she managed to get into such a good company. She even became the spokesperson for Vinci
Rivera before her probation ended. There was just no way that Lydia could be okay with it.
“I’d never expect Sophia to be the most successful person in the Jewell family. She got to work in a good

“The blind fortune teller back in our old house used to say that she would someday excel in life. How
right he was!”
“What does this have to do with that fortune teller? Her father’s the reason why she could achieve
something like this.”
“What about Stella then? She got into an even better university, and Rainee just couldn’t stop bragging
about that. But what happened? Not only did she choose to be an art student, but she got married right
after she graduated. What a shame.”
“I think she’s acting in one of the online shows now. Haa… She even made herself look like a freak on it.
Isn’t her mother-in-law very wealthy? Why does she still need to work?”
“I
guess she prefers spending her own money. Albert called her and said he wanted to send the old man
over for a few days, yet she kept finding excuses to reject him. I’m pretty sure this is because she can’t
make any decisions in the family, and she’s just a nobody.”
“She came from such a good university, yet she married right after graduating. What’s the point of even
studying? Look at Sophia. She got into a large corporation. She’ll be well- respected by her husband’s
family when she gets married because she has her own career.”
Sophia was delighted to hear those things.
Even though she knew her relatives only said some of those things to flatter Albert, she still felt very
good about herself. After all, before Rainee got into that accident, they had only praised Stella.
Sofia spoke softly after being satisfied listening to their compliments. “Uncles, aunties, that’s not right.
Stella values the family more than me, and I’m only working because I don’t like spending money that’s
not mine. My dad spent so much money and effort on me, and I just can’t let him down.”
Sofia made it sound like she was putting a good word in for Stella, but she was actually belittling Stella
by saying that Stella didn’t have a dream to chase to make herself look better.
“Sophia’s such a good kid. Just look at how many clothes she buys for the old man these days. He
couldn’t stop smiling while praising her to me.”
Lydia finally found the chance to interrupt them. “Sophia, you haven’t worked here for a month yet, right?
How did you receive your salary so soon?”

Sophia glared at Lydia and then smiled faintly. “Auntie Lydia, it’s only been half a month, and I didn’t
receive any payment at all. The money I used to buy my great-grandpa’s shirt came from my scholarship
and the money I earned from working part-time. Dustin’s so good at studying. I’m sure he received a
good amount of scholarship, too, right? What did he buy for you?”
Dustin never spent anything on her. Lydia’s face twitched. She cursed at Sophia inwardly while saying in
a flat tone, “O-Of course. Dustin’s a good kid.”
Stella heard everything as she stood at the door. Her relatives did not let her down. She could hear them
chatting from the other side of the wall, and even the pedestrians could listen to what they were talking
about.
She was about to turn around and leave, but Keegan grabbed her wrist and rang the doorbell. Very soon
later, a teenage girl came to open the door. She was shocked to see the couple that looked like
superstars as she could not recognize them. “Who are you looking for?”
Stella knew who that girl was. It was Sarah Jewell, Lydia’s daughter. Sarah was still going to high school.
She was very skinny and looked very scared when she met anybody. She looked nothing like her
mother, and Jewell once gave her tuition.
Stella smiled. “Sarah, we’re here to pick up great-grandpa.”
Sarah only came around after hearing that. “Stella?”
