Christopher Smith looked at Charlotte Harrison confusedly, and Charlotte turned her head away unnaturally.
"What exactly did you tell Little Sophie?" Christopher pressed.
"I-I just asked her to send so money to help at ho. Who knew she had no conscience? She absolutely refused to send money to the family. I just said you were sick, otherwise that girl definitely wouldn’t hand over any money..."
Charlotte exaggerated on purpose, criticizing Sophie Smith.
"Have you said enough? Shut up!" Christopher truly lost his temper, almost shouting these words.
Charlotte seed to be frightened by the shout, and suddenly fell silent. The entire living room beca as quiet as a mouse.
Three seconds later, Charlotte snapped back to reality.
"Christopher, how dare you yell at ?" Charlotte swept everything off the coffee table onto the floor in a rage. "I’ve been by your side for over ten years, without a title or status, never having a good day, and you dare to yell at ?"
What is she talking about?
Over ten years?
"Dad, what does Aunt Harrison an?"
Sophie Smith, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, her voice shaking violently.
Christopher’s face turned ashen, losing even the courage to face her.
"Dad, you must explain clearly!" She wasn’t naïve; she naturally understood the implication in Charlotte’s words, but she refused to believe it with all her heart.
"I..." Christopher stamred, giving Sophie a sense of foreboding.
"Explain? What’s left to explain?" Charlotte had nothing to hide; she was long done with it.
"The fact is that I was your dad’s woman over a decade ago. Little Jas is his biological son, got it? So don’t be so self-important, you’re an outsider in this family since your mom died!"
Sophie inhaled sharply from the bottom of her heart, feeling unable to breathe for a mont.
"Dad, is this true?"
Christopher nodded with imnse guilt, finally breaking the lie hidden for over a decade.
The consequences were imaginable.
Sophie felt she could hardly stand; it was like a bolt from the blue. After all these years, she’d been living in deception, and her most revered father had personally built this dirty lie.
"Why did you do this?" Tears of despair stread down her face as she knelt in anguish. Why was heaven so unfair to her, making her bear so much?
Her father had always been so sacred in her heart, but unexpectedly, ...
"Little Sophie, I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Back then, it was my impulsive mistake, a mistake that can’t be undone, I don’t seek your forgiveness,..."
"Stop talking!" She covered her ears, refusing to hear anymore!
"How could you do this to mom? She was such a wonderful woman, always contributing to this family, did you know?"
"Don’t ntion that dead woman again, it makes sick!"
Charlotte snorted coldly, filled with disdain in her gaze.
"Shut up!" Sophie wouldn’t allow her to insult her mother, "Being a mistress is disgusting enough, how dare you talk about my mom?"
"You!" Charlotte hadn’t expected the always ek Sophie to beco so assertive, but to her, it didn’t matter; she wouldn’t give in.
"Since things have co to this, I don’t mind telling you sothing even more shocking. Do you know why your mom died?"
"Charlotte Harrison! I beg you, don’t say anymore!" On the side, Christopher trembled as he dragged Charlotte towards the guest room.
Do you know why your mom died?
Why did she say that? Deep down, she believed her mother’s death was deeply intertwined with the pressure from Golden Era Consortium, but now...
"Explain clearly to !" Sophie shouted angrily.
