Chapter 165 Sophiaâs hand that held the white cloth froze. She thought, âDad hasnât come out of prison yet?â
Sophia had knelt before Jason and even agreed to please his clients. Yet Jason didnât hold up his end of the deal and get her father out of prison.
Ever since Sophia was kidnapped by Lucas to Vayberry and learned from him that she was not the Taylor familyâs daughter, she did not pay attention to them anymore.
Sophia thought her father had already returned to the hospital. Jason had lied to her again. He had no intention of letting her father off.
While Sophia was dazed, Claire rushed to her, trying to slap her.
Sophia sensed danger and grabbed Clarieâs wrist, blocking her assault.
Sophia had already done her best for the Taylor family. She had begged Jason to pay her fatherâs medical bills and gambling debts for the last few years. She had long repaid the Taylor family for raising her. Sophia didnât owe them anything.
Sophia stated, âDonât slap people without reason. It makes you look illâmannered.â
Claire was furious when her wrist was grabbed. Now that she was lectured, her anger rose. âYouâre too much, How dare you stop me and talk back to me? How did I raise an ingrate like you?â
Sophia smiled and said coldly, âSince you think Iâm redundant, kick me out.â
Claire was furious. She pointed at Sophia and trembled violently. âWhy did I...â
But Claire stopped talking abruptly. She almost said the word âadopt. Fortunately, Clarie stopped just in time.
Two days ago, Ada had warned Claire repeatedly not to reveal anything about Sophiaâs background. Ada even said Claire would benefit from it when she became successful.
Clarieâs husband was terminally ill and her son was frivolous. There was no one Claire could depend on. Only by clinging to Adaâs family would the rest of her Ele not be too bad.
Claire shouted, âHow did I give birth to an evil creature like you back then? You didnât even care about your fatherâs life.â
Claireâs gaze shifted to the body on the bed. She sneered and said viciously, âWhen I came here just now, I heard rumors that you offended Mr. Niles and he chased you all over the hospital with a knife. But you didnât die. Instead, an innocent girl died.â
Claire snorted. âSophia, those around you end up badly. If it werenât for you, my son wouldnât have gone astray. The Taylor Group wouldnât have gone bankrupt, and my husband wouldnât be jailed.â
Claireâs accusations magnified the guilt in Sophiaâs heart. She looked at the pale and stiff Molly on the bed with a pained gaze.
Even her soul wept. It seemed she brought bad luck to everyone.
If Molly hadnât met Sophia, she would not have died so miserably. Freya had suffered all sorts of hardships to raise her daughter, but Molly died because of Sophia. She was the one who should be hacked to pieces, Molly shouldnât be dead.
âIâm sorry. Itâs my fault. I brought this upon you,â Sophia whispered. Tears fell silently. Her sobs grew.
19:08 Fri, 28 Jun 8 GG Chapter 165 çµ45%ç¶ Claire spat at Sophia fiercely, making her old face look even more bitter and mean. She was about to curse when her phone suddenly rang. It was from the police station. Claire wondered if her husbandâs condition had worsened again.
Sophia quickly answered the call and asked anxiously, âDeputy Wess, did something happen?â
Randall Wessâs uneasy voice came. âMr. Taylor is not looking good. He has to go to the hospital for emergency treatment. But Mr. Wilson has ordered us not to let Mr. Taylor go without permission. Please ask him to make an exception.â
Claire glared at Sophia fiercely, wishing she could kill her. âIdiot, what are you waiting for? Hurry up and call Jason.
Beg him to spare your fatherâs life.â
Sophiaâs eyes gradually turned red. She had already taken a life. She could not take a second one. This had nothing to do with raising her. Sophia simply didnât want anyone to die.
No matter what, Corey was implicated by her and ended up in prison despite being seriously ill. If he died in prison, Sophia would not have any peace before she died.
âSophia, are you going to stand by while your father is tortured by his illness?â Claire screamed at the top of her lungs.
She rushed to Sophia and started punching and kicking.
At this moment, Oliver, who had gone to the directorâs office to get Sophiaâs report, rushed in. He grabbed Claireâs collar and dragged her off Sophia.
Then, Oliver looked up and asked Sophia, âAre you okay?â
