Cedric's keen gaze swept the room, noting the housekeeper guiding Tristan toward the restroom. He was about to follow them, but Sean stopped him. "Hey, bro, you're not actually mad at me, are you? We’re practically brothers. I’m totally on your side."Cedric paused, his expression icy. "Since when are we like brothers? You seem to be getting carried away with your imagination. You’d make a good castrato with that kind of thinking.""Nonsense!" Sean bristled at the comparison. "I'm nothing like a castrato! I mean, castrati can’t... Well, you know!"Sean was more concerned about correcting the anatomical challenges of castrati than defending his relationship with Cedric, almost causing Cedric to spit out his wine."Who are you calling a castrato? Cedric, we’re in the same boat. How long has it been since you were with a woman? Don't pretend Valerie counts. I don’t believe it for a second." Sean had seen Cedric’s descent into despair and his reckless dive into the sea for Sophie five

Sophie lingered in the stall a little longer, unwilling to confront anyone with her pallid complexion.Meanwhile, Tristan cautiously navigated the restroom, feeling his way along the wall. Suddenly, a sharp cry pierced the air as he was struck on the back of his head."Argh!"Startled, Sophie bolted out of the stall only to find Tristan sprawled unconscious on the floor, a blood-stained stick lying nearby."Tristan?" she called out, rushing to him with maternal instinct. As she cradled his head, her hand was covered with sticky blood.'How could there be so much blood?!'"Tristan, wake up!" she pleaded repeatedly, but there was no response. As she struggled to lift Tristan, her dress became smeared with blood.As Sophie struggled to stand and call for help, the restroom door suddenly swung open. A woman entered, her eyes widening in shock as she beheld Sophie, covered in blood, the crimson stick lying nearby, and Tristan hanging limply in her arms."Murder!" she screamed.The

Austin rushed in, saw Sophie sitting on the floor in a daze, and immediately pulled her into his arms.Cedric's expression dimmed, and his sharp gaze landed on Austin's hands that were holding Sophie."Cedric, you only have two hands and limited time," Austin reminded him.Austin's reminder changed his expression. He glanced at the unconscious Tristan in his arms, quickly got up, and walked toward the door.Blood dripped onto the clean white floor tiles as he strode forward, a sight that was shocking to the eye.Upon hearing the commotion, Jeff, Matthew, and Melissa rushed over and were startled too."What happened here? What are you people still standing here? Call 911 and go to the hospital now!" Jeff let out a deep roar, his expression showing both urgency and worry.Although he did not like Vivienne and did not want to acknowledge Tristan, he was still his great-grandson, so how could he not care?"Father, don't get too worked up. Take care of your health," Matthew comforte

Sophie finally regained her voice. "Grandpa, it wasn't me."Jeff immediately grabbed her hand. "Silly girl, I've always said that I'll always believe in you and support you. Austin, send Soph to the hospital now."Austin nodded. "Yes."He was about to stride out when Sophie stopped him. "Wait a moment.""What's wrong, Soph?" Jeanna thought she might be feeling unwell, but then she noticed that Sophie had gradually calmed down. She no longer showed any signs of discomfort."Jean, don't come to the hospital for now," Sophie said with a trembling voice and looked up at the surveillance camera opposite the restroom.There were no cameras inside the restroom, but the cameras in the mansion might provide some clues that could lead them to the real culprit.Although Jeanna was anxious, her mind was sharp. She immediately understood what Sophie meant. "Okay, I know what to do. Austin, I'm leaving Soph to you.""Don't worry. I won't let anyone hurt her." After firmly saying that, Austin

Cedric frowned, but his gaze was particularly firm. "It has nothing to do with her."'Sophie has always been a woman with extreme pride at heart, just like a peacock. Even if she's been forced into a corner, she'll still uphold her proud demeanor. Even if she's planned to seek revenge, she'll never harm Tristan.'Melissa was instantly offended. "Cedric, have you lost your mind?! Why are you still speaking up for her? There was no one else in the restroom. Who else could it be if it wasn't her? Are you saying that Tristan knocked himself unconscious with a stick?" Seeing Melissa rambling incessantly, Matthew could not help but roar, "Can you please keep quiet for a moment?"Melissa was not one to back down. "Why are you yelling at me? It's Sophie who tried to kill someone, not me."Just as the two were about to start arguing, they were silenced by Cedric's cold voice. "That's enough! Either you stay here quietly, or you go home now and take care of Grandpa.""Your grandpa has ser

The crowd fell into silence, but this silence was soon broken by the sound of hurried footsteps as a group of journalists somehow made their way up. They immediately aimed their equipment at Sophie."Ms. Luxford, can you explain what happened? Why did you lay hands on such a young child?" The journalist closest to Sophie held up his cell phone, displaying a video of the incident. Although it did not capture what happened in the restroom, it clearly showed the outcome.Someone had already posted the video online so quickly."Ms. Luxford, please answer our questions. Was it out of malicious retaliation against Ms. Kerrigan for intervening in your marriage with Mr. Carlson?""Ms. Luxford, your actions have already violated the law. Have you considered the consequences?"The pressing questions came one after another, but Sophie showed no signs of evasion and asked, "What evidence is there to prove it was me who did it? And have I been convicted by the law yet?"With a demeanor simila

Vivienne suddenly grabbed Sophie's arm, cried, and shouted agitatedly, "Sophie, I know you hate me. You made me make a fool out of myself at the charity gala, instigated Valerie to interfere in my relationship with Cedric, and turned me into someone everyone despises. You're just seeking revenge on me!"Just as everyone assumed she'd harm Sophie, she unexpectedly dropped to her knees with a thud, startling both Sophie and the onlookers. "However you wish to retaliate against me, I accept it, but I implore you to spare my son."Tristan was merely three years old five years ago. He acted out of fear that you might abduct him again, so he inadvertently pushed you. He never intended for you to fall into the sea. He's been tormented by guilt, unable to sleep at night all these years. He's innocent!"It's all my fault. I vow to leave Cedric and this place tomorrow, never to cross your path again. Please, spare my child. He's still so young, so blameless."Her tearful plea for mercy cut t

As the momentary darkness in front of her eyes faded away, Sophie regained her composure and walked toward the operating theater door. She then peered inside as if she were waiting for the verdict of fate.The renowned head of the neurosurgery department emerged from the theater, his weary figure indicating the challenging nature of the surgery."Doctor, how's my son?" Vivienne grabbed the surgeon's arm, her anxiety evident as she longed to rush in and take a look."We've successfully cleared all intracranial hematoma, but due to the location of the injury involving many nerves, I can't rule out the possibility of nerve damage. Prepare yourselves for the possibility that your son might never wake up," the doctor explained solemnly.Feeling the seriousness in the head's tone, Cedric narrowed his eyes, and his lips pursed into a straight line.After a few seconds, he asked in a dangerous tone, "What do you mean by 'prepare for the possibility that he might never wake up'?"He wante
