Incompatible Souls Forced into a Contract Marriage

In the Foster family living room, the air was thick with tension.

Sophia leaned against the doorway, her gaze calm and her face devoid of emotion, which made the two people in front of her somewhat embarrassed.

As soon as she entered, without even having a sip of warm water, her biological parents informed her of the engagement with the Kingston family.

Charles Foster coughed to suppress his lack of confidence, put on his paternal dignity, and with a stern face, said, "We only found out about the engagement with the Kingston family because the elder Kingston took the initiative to send us the news. Once you marry the Kingston heir, it will be of great help to our familys business."

The woman on the other side also nodded in agreement, wearing a motherly expression, "Yes, your grades are not good, and you dont have anything to show for yourself. Unlike your sister, she is talented and beautiful. Last month, she was named the best piano student by her school. You know, Ive always been worried about your future marriage. Fortunately, your late grandfather was prescient. What are you hesitating for?"

In fact, as early as when Sophia was 6 years old, the Foster family and her adoptive parents knew that the children of the two families were switched.

However, the Foster family was reluctant to give up the obedient and lovely Melissa, and seeing that 7-year-old Sophia had a strange temper and was difficult to discipline, they decided not to switch the children back and to raise them as if they were relatives.

But as time went on, Sophia became an outsider in the eyes of the Foster family.

She lazily lifted her eyelids and spoke slowly, "The Foster company has made a mistake, and you think of me? If the Kingston family is so good, why dont you let Melissa marry into it?"

The womans face stiffened, a flash of guilt in her eyes, and then she advised with great sincerity: "Sophia, Melissa is our adopted daughter. When the Kingston family made the childhood engagement, I was still pregnant with you."

Hearing this, Sophia couldnt help but smirk at the woman, her eyes clear and transparent, making people feel exposed: "So, Melissa is unwilling to marry? Of course, I heard that the Kingston heir broke his leg three years ago. I understand."

After saying this, Sophia nodded solemnly as if to emphasize her point.

Otherwise, how would they think of her, their convenient daughter?

The chill and sarcasm in her tone, along with her casual attitude, completely angered the two.

Charless face changed, and he stood up abruptly, smashing the teacup in his hand on the ground: "What kind of talk is this! Is this how you speak to your parents? Do you have any upbringing?"

Seeing her husband angry, the woman hurried forward to persuade: "Honey, dont be angry first. Sophia has just come from the countryside and needs time to digest this news properly,"

Then, she turned to Sophia, her eyes full of disapproval: "The Kingston family is a top-notch family. Even if the Kingston heir is disabled, marrying into it is still you marrying up. Why cant you see the good fortune!"

Sophia slowly dropped the smile from the corner of her mouth and leisurely straightened up.

"What is upbringing? I really dont know. But I wont push my own daughter into a pit. Also, grandma is old, dont disturb her anymore."

Not wanting to deal with them anymore, she finished speaking and turned to leave without any hesitation. Her long, straight legs were lean and strong, and her thin, solitary figure exuded a bit of loneliness.

"This child is so disobedient! Who spoiled her bad temper? Its a misfortune for our family!"

Behind her, Charles roared in anger, his face turning blue.

Not long after Sophia left, Melissa returned.

Looking around, Melissa blinked in confusion, sat down next to the woman, and put her arm around her: "Mom, why did my sister leave?"
