"Yes, I’ve always known where Sophie was. I was the one who saved her from the sea five years ago," Austin confessed, his tone unusually stern and cold. "The Sophie you knew, Cedric, was destroyed by you and Vivienne. The woman she is now is different. She's a woman you don't deserve," he added.If not for Austin's vigilance against Vivienne’s actions, arranging for someone to be ready, Sophie would have died in the cold sea.Cedric's eyes hardened as he recalled that fateful day from five years ago, a mix of pain and unspoken emotions evident. He gazed at Sophie, who sat nearby with calm composure, and spoke in a deep, commanding voice. "As long as she remains the same person at her core, she is my wife, your cousin-in-law. It's not your place to judge whether I deserve her or not."Austin met Cedric's gaze with an equally cold look."Time will tell," he replied.Sitting by the fountain, Sophie noticed Austin approaching and glanced at Cedric, who stood alone. With just one loo

"Mrs. Carlson, are you okay?" an onlooker asked Vivienne, who emerged from the fountain looking disheveled. Her plan to humiliate Sophie had backfired, drawing attention to herself instead.Barely controlling her fury, Vivienne feigned injury and distress. "Ms. Luxford, you already hurt my ankle while dancing. Why did you push me into the water?""I was sitting peacefully when you pushed me in," Sophie retorted. Her disheveled appearance was evident as she climbed out of the fountain, appearing more distraught than Vivienne."I would never push you!" Vivienne cried, her voice breaking.The crowd watched, absorbed by the drama unfolding between the current and former Mrs. Carlson.-In the restroom.Sophie faced the mirror, Cedric entering shortly afterward."Since when does Mr. Carlson frequent women’s restrooms?" Sophie mocked, applying her lipstick.Ignoring her comment, Cedric approached and grabbed her arms. Sophie's heartbeat quickened but then steadied. She looked at him

Upon noticing Cedric, Vivienne quickly wiped away her tears, yet her pitiful look had more impact than her crying.Cedric frowned upon seeing her drenched. "What happened?""I was looking for you after resting. As I passed the fountain, Ms. Luxford grabbed me, and I fell into the water," Vivienne fabricated. "She might have felt uncomfortable seeing us together. Earlier, while dancing, she deliberately tripped me. She probably pushed me into the water to vent her frustration."The crowd, sympathetic to Vivienne’s story, whispered and speculated about the strained relationship between Vivienne and Sophie."Mrs. Carlson, I was in the restroom the entire time. When did I push you into the water?" Sophie’s mocking tone came from behind the crowd, surprising those who had assumed she was the one in the fountain.'If Sophie is here, who is the woman in the fountain?!'Vivienne widened her eyes, staring in disbelief at the approaching Sophie. Her heart skipped a beat. 'How could this be

Vivienne clenched her hands tightly under the coat as she bit her pale lips. 'Both he and Sophie haven't pulled their punches today when it came to taking revenge on me!'As soon as Cedric finished speaking, Evander approached and glanced at the disheveled Vivienne in surprise before whispering, "The nanny from the villa just called and said that your son is missing."Upon hearing this, Cedric's previous cold face immediately turned stern. 'Tristan is missing?'Vivienne regained some of her rationality and pulled Evander's arm. "How could Tristan go missing?""I don't know either, Ms. Kerrigan. The maid claimed she had called you several times but couldn't get through, so she called me instead," Evander replied.Sophie smirked mockingly. She suddenly had no desire to stay any longer, so she turned around and walked toward the villa.Cedric frowned and glanced in the direction she had walked toward, and his jawline tightened. "Go and find him.""Yes!" Evander responded instantly.

Tristan had not expected her to return. He wiped the tears from his face and spoke up timidly. "I'm not a ghost. I got lost and got in here, and then the door got locked."Cherry's face slightly relaxed upon hearing that. "You almost scared me to death! I thought you were a ghost and ran upstairs.""I'm not a ghost," Tristan clarified."Got it. Just wait here. I'll go get my mommy and ask her to get someone to unlock the door and rescue you," Cherry instructed."Wait! Can you not get someone to rescue me right away?" Tristan stopped her with a nervous tone.Caught off guard by the strange request, Cherry tilted her head in confusion. "Shouldn't someone who's trapped want to get out as soon as possible? What's the matter with you?""I... I snuck out here..." Tristan's voice went soft.'If Mommy finds out I've snuck out and followed her secretly, she'll surely be angry.'"What a coincidence, I snuck out too!" Cherry's face lit up when she heard that. She had finally found a like-

Tristan finally let out a smile and touched the door with his fingers. "Cherry, you're so kind."Like an angel, she made him feel warmth he had not felt in a long time."Of course, I'm kind. I'm the Cherry that everybody loves," Cherry said with confidence.Laughter echoed from the basement.-Cedric and Vivienne had already arrived home. The maid became even more nervous when she saw that Cedric had come back.She really did not know where Tristan had gone. She thought he might be hiding in the room as usual and had not come out. It was not until she called for him for dinner that she realized he was missing."Evander, go check the surveillance footage inside and outside the house."Cedric came out of Tristan's room. Everything inside was normal, so it seemed like he had walked out on his own."Okay." Evander immediately went to pull the surveillance footage.Vivienne anxiously paced back and forth in the room, searching every corner, but there was no sign of Tristan. "Trist

"Because I have to find my daddy. My intuition tells me that my daddy should come from where my mommy used to live," Cherry replied without any hesitation.Otherwise, why would she have black eyes and black hair, inheriting none of the genes of a typical Altrurian girl with blonde hair and blue eyes?"Then do you know what kind of person your daddy is?" Tristan was very curious, wondering what kind of person Cherry was looking for, and whether he would be like his own daddy.Cherry immediately as she imagined Cedric's appearance. "Rich, handsome, and maybe...""Maybe what?" Tristan wished to know more."Never mind about my daddy. Tell me about your daddy. What kind of person is he?" Not wanting to discuss the possibility of her biological father possibly having a mistress and an illegitimate child, Cherry chuckled and changed the subject."My daddy? He's an incredibly talented person. He can do anything, and I admire him a lot. I hope I can grow up to be just like him," Tristan s

"Daddy! You came to save me."The coldness and indifference in Cedric's chest were ruffled by the embrace and cry.Meanwhile, Sophie glanced at Tristan, who was now in Cedric's arms.The face in her memory had grown significantly, but the unsettledness and fear in his gaze were not typical for a child of his age.Thinking of the small hands that had pushed her into the ocean, she squinted. 'Vivienne is the person who's ruined her own son!'Seeing Sophie about to leave, Vivienne pulled her back. "Sophie Lucford, don't leave! Why would you do this to my son? Is humiliating me today not enough? Why can't you even spare a kid?"Sophie was kind enough to save the boy, yet she was being blamed now.She turned around and glanced at Vivienne's face coldly. "How dare you question me? Out of the two of us, who's the one who won't even spare the kid?!"Just then, curious onlookers began to gather, drawn by the commotion.Upon seeing the boy in Cedric's arms, they immediately thought of t
