The last thing Sofia expects when she criticizes her former classmate Chloe, who works as a sales assistant, is to find her rich husband walking into the same store with a lover. But Chloe finds a sinister plan when she gives Sofia money to make up for her mistake.
Sofia ran into her former classmate Chloe, who was employed at a store while looking at designer clothes. With a sly smile, she contrasted her outfits with her own high-end pieces.
“Is that you, Chloe? I can’t believe you work in this hole, oh my god.” Her words burned, but her tone was pleasant in greeting.
Chloe smiled warmly despite the obvious mockery. “Hello, Sophia. Nice to see you! She asked, “How are you?”
Sofia turned around with her smile intact. “Best of all, baby!” she said holding out her hands to show off her gems. “I’m driving a Porsche, wearing diamonds, going to parties, and generally enjoying life as always.”
Then with a sigh, she shook her head at Chloe and expressed regret. “I informed you! You wouldn’t have to work either if you dressed nicely, did your hair, and had some cosmetic surgery,” Sofia continued.
Sofia immediately asked for coffee while Chloe tried to distract her by offering her tea. To get a drink, Chloe called Liam, another cashier.
But Sofia needed to show off one more time. She quickly snapped her finger at the little child. “I’ll have a latte with skim milk and cream that’s lactose-free.” “Make sure it’s not too warm,” she ordered. Hello?
Can you hear me?”
Liam went to get coffee after giving Chloe a knowing look while maintaining their civility. Focusing on Chloe, Sofia continued her criticism.
“Chloe, trust me, I didn’t want to come to this hole, but Tom got an urgent call from work,” she said. “Tom runs his own big business and sets his own hours, but—what am I talking about? You can’t understand it.”
Chloe kept nodding and smiling as she tried to influence her ex-boyfriend to choose them.
Liam brought her coffee and Sofia said, “Anyway, I just decided to have a little fun while he finished his business, so I ended up here.” “It’s cold!”
Liam almost dropped his coffee cup when she shoved it into his shirt. Realizing that Sofia was about to go on another insulting tirade, Chloe introduced the new collection and its exclusivity.
After Sofia stopped talking and pouted at Liam, Chloe showed her the pieces by taking her upstairs.
A public-loving couple unexpectedly walked into the shop and planned the evening. The man’s gruff voice was punctuated by a gentle giggle as the woman chirped and thanked him for delivering her groceries.
Chloe watched them for a moment and offered Sofia another hat to try on, but quickly realized that Sofia was frozen and wouldn’t take off her current hat. one.
Chloe only had to move slightly to see tears forming in her old classmate’s eyes. “Sofia, what’s going on?” Chloe pouted, she asked, but an epiphany came to her. “That’s your husband, isn’t he?”
Sofia just stood there, holding back her sobs and breathing heavily. Her feelings were so different from the woman a few minutes ago.
“Don’t you want to confront him?” Chloe asked. “I thought you were stronger than this.
“I can’t. Everything belongs to him. Even my cars are registered in his name and he has all the money,” mumbled Sofia.
“Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t it look like he already dumped you?” Pointing to Tom’s open respect for the other woman, Chloe remarked. “Money is one thing, but he should at least respect your marriage.
Sofia straightened her shoulders and sniffed.
She turned to face Chloe and said, “You’re right,” before plunging down.
“Tom!” Sophia shouted in a loud voice that filled the entire store. “You’re very bold! What’s going on?” “Who is this woman?”
Tom replied, “Um, listen, what are you doing here?” His eyes widened like a deer caught in headlights. I mistook you for home.
The woman beside him said with a raised hand, “Oh, I’m Melissa; nice to meet you-“
“Keep your claws away from me!” Sofia interrupted him.
Tom turned to his wife and sighed, urging Melissa to continue browsing the store. “Please, God! You’re causing a stir! He yelled at Sofia, “I don’t need a scandal.
“I don’t understand. What about our union?”
Are you indifferent to my feelings?
“Emotions? You’re out of your mind, come on? That ring has no meaning,” Tom sneered. “You’re aware of that! I married you as an investment and you married me primarily for my wealth.”
“No!” Sofia paid back. “I married you for love.
“Jesus. Hurry up! This relationship is only beneficial,” he said, pulling a gold card out of his wallet. “Here, buy something nice.
Sofia flew into a rage and threw the gold card back at his chest, yelling, “You can keep your stinking money! We’re done!” Then she and Chloe rushed out.
Chloe comforted Sofia outside and offered her a place to stay and work. You will get over it. “If it’s okay with you, I can help you,” she offered, patting Sofia on the back.
“Hi, I’m sorry Chloe. Sophia could only say ‘I’m sorry,’ but she happily accepted Chloe’s help.”
Minutes later, Tom and Melissa left the store, and their date was ruined. After bringing Melissa home, he invited his closest friend, Luke, to his home. They talked about how losing Sofia would affect his ambitions and have unintended consequences.
“I can’t set her up to fall for the company’s funding the… creative moves if she divorces me,” Tom said. “That’s why I spent so much money on her.
Luke reassured him, “A gold digger is always good as long as there’s gold.” “He’ll be back. He hasn’t had a job in years. He’ll come to you once he realizes how awful it is.”
“Maybe, but maybe,” Tom said as he poured himself a hearty drink. “I have other options.
Sofia was greeted by Chloe who told her to stay as long as she wanted. But she had a secret that no one else knew about. That evening, Sofia felt sick and had a terrible bout of vomiting on the toilet while Chloe was already asleep.
For some reason, she only had morning sickness at night. How can I raise my child alone? without money? Even though Sofia was sad, she made sure she would make it. I can do it if others can do it. Repair?
When she returned to bed, she was surprised to see that Tom had sent her a text message.
“Sophie. I’m sorry. I’ll send you 100 million dollars to make it up to you. I’d like to meet with you tomorrow to discuss this. I won’t stop you if you still want to go. I appreciate you.”
The next morning she told Chloe, but the whole time she was shaking her head. “He’s lying. I wouldn’t believe him if I were you—I have no idea what he’s up to.”
Clinging to hope, Sophia said, “But the $100 million. What if it’s real?
Before she left the house for work, Chloe informed her rather sternly, “I wouldn’t see him again if I were you.”
Sofia exhaled and remained motionless in thought.
Tom arrived to find Chloe at work. She hoped Sophia wouldn’t arrive yet. A few minutes later Chloe walked up to Tom as he was reaching for his phone. She reached for her own phone and clicked on a specific app, though she wasn’t sure if it would be useful.
“Once she signs the papers, it’ll be her head on the block, not mine,” Tom remarked. It is time for her to make up for the large amount of money she has also spent. What is a short custodial sentence?”
Although Chloe didn’t know who she was talking to, she discreetly gasped and listened.
“I can’t afford to face legal consequences even if I was the one who did the scam. I’ll lose everything. A few million will shut her up later,” Tom sighed into the phone. “I have to leave.
She is present.
Not at all! Chloe looked at Sophia as she entered the store and thought. She looked around for a moment, looking like a lost little child, but Tom came up to her and gave her a friendly greeting.
His voice was as smooth as velvet as they sat down. “I promise to make up for what I did, even though I know it was terrible. Wait, I have a document for you to sign. His voice was smooth as velvet as they sat down, “I promise to make up for what I did, even though I know it was terrible.” Wait, I have a document for you to sign.
That’s why I texted you.”
“What?” Sofia thought about it.
Tom handed her some papers. “The moment you sign these documents, I will send the money directly to your account,” the man said.
Sofia reached for the papers and started to scan them, but Chloe stopped her and almost skidded across the floor to get them. She screamed, “Don’t do it!” and turned to Tom. “I heard your conversation and I refuse to let Sophia go to jail.
Sophia listened in disbelief as Chloe revealed Tom’s plans. “He’s going to blame you for all his fake crimes if you sign the papers. You’re going to serve time in jail instead,” Chloe explained.
Tom looked like a fool. “What on earth are you? Now go back to your work! Sophia is lying! Why would I even want to treat you this way? I love you,” he yelled, pointing to his chest.
“I recorded him talking. He’s not able to get—” Chloe insisted, pulling out her phone to reveal that she had recorded the exchange. However, Tom attacked her in an attempt to stop her from playing.
While one hand reached for her hair to distract, the other tried to grab the device.
Although Sophia was taken aback by his behavior, she jumped at the chance to assist Chloe.
“Let her go! You lying piece of shit.”
Liam was among those who gathered and tried to talk Tom out of his relationship with Chloe. Chloe straightened when he did, but her eyes were full of determination. “The police have already been called and are on their way. You’re going to jail,” she stated proudly.
Tom tried to escape but it was too late.
After being arrested and removing Chloe’s phone as evidence, they left. The moment they were out of sight, Sofia burst into tears.
Chloe was still breathing heavily, “It’s okay sweetie.” “You have nothing to fear anymore.
“Do I have anything to fear if the father of my child goes to prison for fraud?” she gasped.
“Nonsense! Sophia, you’re smart. You’re just underestimating yourself,” Chloe argued, hugging Sophia. “Besides, I’ll help you with anything you need.”
After the chaotic events at the store, Sofia is devastated by the drastic turn her life has taken. The revelation of her husband’s betrayal and the revelation of his sinister plans shook her to the core. However, she was not alone in facing this storm. Chloe, despite the harsh words and condescension thrown at Sofia at first, stood by her side. Chloe’s kindness and courage not only exposed Tom’s fraudulent activities but also offered Sofia a lifeline in her darkest hour.
As the days passed, Sofia began to see the world differently. The life she once boasted of—full of luxury and superficial success—was now a distant memory, overshadowed by the harsh reality she ignored. But in this new reality, Sofia has found a strength she never knew she had. With Chloe’s unwavering support, she began to rebuild her life from the ground up. The betrayal that once threatened to break her now served as the foundation for a future based on integrity, resilience, and true friendship.
Chloe’s offer of accommodation and work was more than a gesture of goodwill; she was a reminder that life is not defined by wealth or status, but by the relationships we cultivate and the character we build. Sofia has accepted the challenges that await her, knowing that she has the courage to face them and a friend who will stand by her through it all. Together they embark on a new chapter, one where trust, loyalty, and self-respect will guide their paths, away from the deceit and greed that once ruled Sofia’s life.
