“After all, you’re getting married in a few days and then we’ll be a family. Sofia is like my own daughter, so don’t cause trouble in our family.”
I looked at Darius's mother coldly. I had thought she was a reasonable person, but now it seemed this family had been planning this all along.
I remained indifferent as I said, “This can’t end like this. Either give me the house or return the down payment I paid. Otherwise, I'll call the police."
Hearing this, Sofia timidly grabbed Darius's arm.
Darius glared at me angrily and scolded, “Do you really have to make such a scene? It’s just a name—is it really that important?”
I borrowed a phone from a passerby and pressed the call button.
As I pressed the button, Darius shouted loudly, “Here, I’ll give you the money back!”
Seeing the payment confirmation on my phone, I finally composed myself.
I grabbed my belongings without saying a word and turned to leave.
Just as I reached the door, Sofia suddenly rushed out from inside and knelt down before me without saying a word.
