The sudden voice made Sophia's heart clench out of nowhere.
Honestly, ever since Zoe left for Yaniston, Sophia hadn't been able to get in touch with Bruno. She had no idea what was going on with him, and the uncertainty was making her anxious.
And now... Zoe kicked down the door and stormed in. Her voice, as cold as death, seemed to come straight from hell. She definitely knew about the orphanage and Sophia's involvement.
Sophia thought, 'But why isn't Zoe dead? Didn't Bruno say he'd take her out when she was at her lowest?'
As Sophia trembled uncontrollably, she saw everyone in the foyer freeze, their hands suspended in mid-air, all eyes turning to the front door. And then, a girl bathed in a red glow walked straight into the villa.
It was her. It really was Zoe.
Realizing this, Sophia instinctively leaned in closer to Anna. "Mom..."
Zoe was not dead. She was still alive.
Anna didn't know Zoe, but she could clearly sense Sophia's fear, leaving her confused.
The moment Stephen and Clara saw Zoe walk in, shock flashed across their faces, quickly followed by a deep, unmistakable fear.
Stephen was terrified of offending Zoe, worried it would bring the Ludwig family, and especially Shawn, down on them in anger.
As for Clara, her fear was that Zoe might have joined forces with the Ludwig family, and if they turned against the Evans family, she didn't know what to do.
Samuel, who had already looked into Zoe before, immediately recognized her and stepped forward. "So it's you, Zoe. What are you doing here? What nonsense are you talking about? Today is Sophia's birthday party, and you, as the mistress, are really pushing your luck."
He jabbed a finger at Zoe, his tone harsh and full of hostility.
The White family members, now aware of Zoe's identity, were all brimming with hostility. After all, in their eyes, it was Zoe's interference that had wrecked the engagement between the Ludwig and White families.
Alex and Simon exchanged glances, their expressions darkening.
"Samuel, is she the one who stole Sophia's fiancé?" Alex asked.
"Unbelievable. What kind of troublemaker did Shawn get himself involved with? She's the mistress, and she still dares to show up at our door and cause a scene," Simon scoffed.
Eric and Anna, seeing Sophia's pale face and hearing what Samuel said, immediately realized who Zoe was. They assumed Sophia was frightened because Zoe had come to bully her, and their own faces darkened with displeasure.
Eric ordered, "Someone, get her out of here!"
Anna immediately turned around, grabbed Sophia's hand, and reassured her, "Don't be scared, Sophia. Your dad and I are both here. We'll protect you. We're not about to let an outsider just show up and bully you."
Seeing her family all standing up for her against Zoe, Sophia instantly felt a surge of confidence. That was right. She was the only heiress of the White family. With her family backing her, she had nothing to be afraid of.
Sophia stared straight at Zoe, her voice rising with newfound boldness. "Zoe, don't get too full of yourself."
Zoe shot Sophia a cold glare and started walking toward her, step by step. The murderous vibe she gave off was practically suffocating.
But right then, Sophia, just like everyone else, completely ignored Zoe's words and spoke up in front of everyone, "What are you staring at? Your mom said she doesn't want you to marry Shawn. It's not like we forced her to say that.
"If you're upset, go home and talk it out with your mom. Don't come to my house and make a scene."
As soon as everyone heard that, it suddenly clicked. So Zoe was just here to pick a fight with her own mom.
As the head of the family, Marvin stepped forward. "Since this is an Evans family matter, it's not really our place to interfere. Mrs. Evans, maybe you should go home and talk things through with your daughter before coming back to discuss terms with us."
Clara's expression changed instantly. "Mr. White, she doesn't represent the Evans family. Anyway, I absolutely won't let her ruin the marriage alliance between the White family and the Ludwig family, so...
"As for the project between the White family and the Evans family, please don't just cancel it."
While trying to curry favor with the White family, Clara turned and snapped at Zoe, "You little brat, get over here and apologize to Mr. White."
Zoe didn't say a word.
Clara immediately tried to rush over and force Zoe to apologize.
But before she could even touch Zoe, Zoe just turned to the side and dodged her completely.
The next moment, Zoe strode straight toward Sophia, her eyes cold as ice.
Clara shrieked from the side, "You ungrateful girl, stop right there."
But Zoe didn't even spare her a glance. Right now, all she cared about was revenge, and her target was Sophia.
Sophia started to panic under Zoe's glare, her mind spinning. She thought, 'What should I do? So Zoe's still alive, Bruno's plan failed, and judging by this, Bruno must've sold me out.'
The more Sophia thought about it, the more terrified she became. She'd heard all the rumors. Firefox was a ruthless killer. If Zoe was really here for revenge, then she was as good as dead.
The fear of death hit Sophia head-on, and she couldn't keep her cool anymore. She dove behind Anna, desperate for protection.
Anna, always gentle and loving to all her children, immediately turned and pulled Sophia into her arms.
Sophia's three brothers rushed over and stood in front of their mom and sister, forming a human shield.
Samuel blocked Zoe's path. "Stop right there. What do you want with Sophia?"
Alex snapped, "What kind of daughter did the Evans family raise? How can she be so arrogant? Doesn't she know the White family could crush them like ants? She's just asking for trouble."
"Don't take another step, or we'll make sure the Evans family is finished for good," Simon threatened.
With her brothers standing guard, Sophia finally dared to poke her head out and shout at Zoe, "Did you hear that? Don't come any closer. If you do, your whole family's going down too."
They always thought that no matter how tough Zoe was, she had to have a soft spot, the Evans family. After all, if she cared so much about those kids at the orphanage, there was no way she'd just abandon her own family.
But Sophia never saw this coming.
Standing in front of the three guys, Zoe just raised an eyebrow, clearly annoyed at the mention of the Evans family.
Then she said something that stunned everyone in the room, "The Evans family? What does that have to do with me? If you've got the guts, go ahead and wipe them out. I'm only here to take your life, Sophia. You're dead."
