Jeremy scoffed. "Do you think I'm in the mood to joke with you right now?"
Sophia shrugged. "Why not? I mean, Miss Corinne could be having the best time in her life as we speak. There's no reason for you to be sad."
Jeremy frowned. "That's enough chit-chat for the night. Go find another room to sleep in."
Sophia shook her head. "Where? I can't sleep here or in Francine's room, and I'm not going to sleep in the guest room."
"Only you would believe in the words of a tarot reader!" said Jeremy with annoyance.
"That's right! And I don't see anything wrong with that! You're never going to make me sleep in the guest room! You should just let me stay here for the night since it looks like you'll be too worried about Miss Corinne to ever fall asleep. I promise I'll go find a hotel tomorrow morning."
"No!"
Sophia rolled her eyes and scoffed. "What a stingy man! I don't think Miss Corinne cares one bit whether another woman sleeps on her bed since it's so obvious she doesn't want to be with you anymore."
Jeremy's expression darkened. At first, he tried to suppress his anger since Sophia was an old friend of his, and she also helped him out with the whole fake marriage thing. This time, however, she had gone too far.
"Don't blame me for kicking you out of the house if you don't get out of the room this instant!"
Sophia shrugged. "Oh please, Jeremy. You don't scare me. I know you, and you'll never do something like that to me. But I've decided to be the bigger person, so I'll get out like you want. I'll just watch the television the whole night in the living room. Bye."
"You don't speak for your whole family! Your grandmother seems to like me, or have you forgotten she asked you to give up your room for me? I have half a mind to tell her that you didn't do as she asked you to! Do you want to bet that she's going to ask you to move out so that I can stay in your room?" said Sophia confidently.
Francine was beyond livid. She did not understand why Pamela would allow such an annoying woman to stay in the house when there was a more important crisis to solve!
"Pah! My grandmother dotes on me a lot, so she'll definitely kick you out if I tell her you're bullying me! That is, unless you didn't use any of your voodoo magic on her!"
Sophia smirked provocatively. "As if I'll believe that! Tell her that, and see whose side she'll take!"
"Why you evil, shameless woman! How dare you act so cocky in front of me?" exploded Francine.
