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

"I'm sorry. I forgot to bring money." With her phone and wallet left behind at the Carlson mansion, she found herself penniless. She decided to remove the diamond bracelet from her wrist and handed it to the driver.Taken aback by the bracelet, the driver didn't bother to check if the diamond was genuine. He started the car and quickly drove away from the apartment building. 'Is this woman crazy?'"Ma'am, you're back?" Mrs. Carrie heard the commotion and immediately opened the door. At the sight of Sophie standing outside, covered in blood, her face drained of color.Sophie entered the apartment with unsteady steps, her eyes darting around as if searching for something."Ma'am, are you looking for Cherry? Ms. Archer called earlier, saying that she had taken Cherry to her place tonight. She also asked you to call her when you come back.""Okay. I'm a little tired. Please, don't disturb me for a while." Sophie nodded mechanically, her voice sounding hoarse as if it had been scorched

Sophie could not even control the thought: 'If it was Tristan this time, what about next time? What if it is Cherry? What will I do then?'A hint of shock flashed across Jeanna's eyes, but it quickly turned into anger. "That's her biological son! How could she do such a thing?! Sophie, please stop overthinking and pull yourself together. You won't become like Vivienne! She's insane, while you're not!"Yesterday, chaos erupted as soon as the video was uploaded online. If Sophie did not pull herself together and face the upcoming waves, she would be carrying this burden forever."Pull myself together? I don't even know where to start. Should I continue to go all out and retaliate against Vivienne, and then wait for her to counter again out of desperation? If that's the case, who'll be the next victim?" Sophie's lips struggled to curve into a smile, but it felt even more agonizing than crying.Seeing her like this, Jeanna felt both heartache and urgency. She knew better than anyone el

"Ma'am, are you going to work?" When Mrs. Carrie saw Sophie coming downstairs, her demeanor returning to its usual state, a hint of relief appeared on her face. She quickly served breakfast to the table."Yes, there are still many things waiting for me to handle." With a faint smile, Sophie lowered her head and started eating her breakfast.-Half an hour later, Sophie's car stopped at the ground floor of Luxford Group.As soon as he got out of the car, a large group of journalists swarmed around her."Ms. Luxford, was the incident involving Ms. Valerie Brynd orchestrated by you? Were you two colluding to take revenge on Ms. Kerrigan?""Ms. Luxford, did you injure Tristan Carlson in the restroom because, as Ms. Kerrigan said yesterday at the hospital, you were seeking revenge for being pushed into the sea five years ago?""Ms. Luxford, do you have any justification for what you've done? The surgeon said that Tristan might end up in a vegetative state. What do you have to say abo

Evander parted his lips hesitantly. "Mr. Carlson, Ms. Luxford is..."When the woman was throwing eggs at Sophie just moments ago, he felt as though Cedric's fists might punch through the window. However, he refrained from intervening, allowing Austin to play the hero and win favor."If she can't endure this trial, the road ahead will become even rougher, with more challenges in the future," Cedric muttered, turning away.His jaw muscles tensed as he ground his teeth, the fierce gleam in his eyes betraying his inner turmoil. Yesterday, at the hospital, he had wanted to embrace her desperately, yet all he could do was watch her leave.Knowing that revealing the truth was the best protection he could offer at present, he resisted the urge to rush to Luxford Group and pressed his lips together. "Have you reviewed all the surveillance footage?""Yes, but the incident occurred in the restroom, where there are no surveillance cameras. We only have footage from outside the restroom," Evan

"I'm fine. Thank you for earlier." Sophie tried to appear nonchalant—the more others insulted her, the more she had to hold on."There's no need for you to be so polite with me. Besides, I'm a man. I can't just watch you get hit by eggs." Austin said, his frown softening as he adjusted his tight suit and smiled gently in response to Sophie's gratitude.Sophie was about to continue expressing her thanks, but Jeanna beat her to it. "It seems that the Carlsons actually have reliable men.""Jean!" Sophie stopped her."I'm just stating a fact. What's wrong with that?" Jeanna refuted.A hint of embarrassment flashed across Sophie's face. She had originally wanted to clarify her relationship with Austin to the public at Jeff's birthday party. Unfortunately, she did not expect something like that to happen, and Austin had been implicated again."By the way, is Grandpa okay?" Sophie asked."Grandpa's fine. He's just very worried about you." Thinking of Jeff's admonition, Austin lied. Jef
