"Sonya, I have something to tell you." Jenny said earnestly."Why Jen? Are you afraid of them?" Sonya smiled sarcastically.Jenny took a deep breath, "It's not about being scared or not being scared, Sonya. The problem is that this is Philly, not New York, the Wilson family is an influential and powerful family here, wherever possible we should avoid dealing with them."Sonya laughed at Jenny's reasoning. It was the same as being afraid. Sonya emphasized that she wasn't afraid of the Wilson family at all, she knew them better than Jenny knew them, the Carter family was just as big as the Wilson family."That's another reason why you need to behave yourself, Sonya. Keep your grandfather's good name. If your grandfather finds out you're making a scene with them, especially since you're no longer under contract with Nathan, I'm guessing he'll be furious with you."Sonya didn't comment on Jenny's last words because she had come here to talk to her grandfather. Sonya walked straight to J
"Decision? What decision, Mom?" asked Sonya in surprise, fear in her heart. Mrs. Delilah didn't answer immediately. The woman stayed where she was, her face flat as if there was no more emotion in that tired-looking face."Mom, what's wrong, don't confuse me." Sonya urged again. Mrs. Delilah sighed heavily again."Sonya, from now on you can't use Carter as your last name." Mrs. Delilah mumbled, but her voice was clear enough to be heard in Sonya's ears."What? What does that mean, Mom? What kind of joke is this?"Mrs. Delilah looked at her daughter, weakly shaking her head, "No, Sonya. It's not a joke.""What does that mean, Mom? I'm the legitimate grandchild of the Carter family, I'm Daddy's legitimate daughter, Mr. Carter's son, why can't I use the Carter name?""That's right, Sonya. You are your father's legitimate daughter, but your grandfather has stricken your name as his heir.""What?!" shrieked Sonya. What her mother said was like a thunderbolt in broad daylight. "No, that's i
"What the hell? What are you doing?" Sonya screamed as she struggled, but the two servants had her firmly restrained."I'm sorry, Miss, you are not allowed to approach the master," one of the servants said. Sonya was stunned. She looked at her grandfather as if she couldn't believe it."Grandpa..." Sonya said softly."Why did you come here, the door is already closed for you."Mr. Carter spoke flatly but sounded very sharp in Sonya's ears. Instantly, tears spilled down the face of the woman who had always looked tough and arrogant."Grandpa... Why would you say that to your biological granddaughter," Sonya said softly, her voice stammering through the sobs that began to break out."Granddaughter'?" repeated Mr. Carter, "I don't have a granddaughter who is a prostitute, my descendants are good and honorable persons."Suddenly, Sonya felt her body go weak. She slowly fell to her knees, her body shaking."I'm sorry, Grandpa. I had to do it, you know, the cost of living in New York is ver
"Horrible? What's terrible?" asked Grandpa Wilson curiously."He looks terrible, Dad. Her hair was disheveled. She was sitting on the side of the road crying, just a far cry from her previous arrogant and haughty appearance." Mrs. Barbara described Sonya's condition as she saw it."Ah, really, Auntie? Are you sure it's the sorceress Sonya? Because Mom, my sister-in-law, and I just met her a few moments before when we were at the mall." Christy interrupted her aunt's explanation."That's right, Chris. Your auntie's eyes are not myopic; your uncle saw it, too." Mrs. Barbara turned to her husband, who responded with a nod, acknowledging his wife's words. "I almost went downstairs to greet her, but when I remember how she's been behaving, especially with you, Tan, I get sick of it. Maybe it's God's punishment for her.""Hm, maybe she's already met her grandfather." Mr. Wilson commented."So what, Dad? She should be happy after meeting her grandfather, right?""How can she be happy, Auntie
"Auntie..." came the adorable little girl's voice. Sonya was stunned, staring at that cute face, that pair of small eyes so clear, clean, and peaceful. "Why are you crying?"Sonya smiled and took the tiny hands that were wiping away her tears. Sonya kissed those little hands."Hi cutie, what's your name?" Sonya asked in a hoarse voice. She immediately grabbed the little girl onto her lap."I'm Lily, auntie." The girl said her name."Lily, what a sweet name, symbolizing purity and sincerity.""Everyone says that, but Mom says I'm the epitome of the sincerity and purity of Mom and Dad's love.""Hm, really? That means you are very special indeed.""That's right, auntie. I am indeed special to Mom and Dad. And since I'm the epitome of Mom and Dad's love, then I'll always give love and affection to everyone, even if they don't like me.""Oh really? You will still love people who don't like you?""That's right Auntie, there should be no grudges, because grudges will only lead to destruction
"Guests? Who?" Nathan asked Jim, Grandpa Wilson's trusted servant."Mr. Daniel Carter," Jim replied. Suddenly, everyone in the room was stunned. Daniel Carter was Mr. Carter's second son, Sonya and Bob's biological father. What was he doing meeting Mr. Wilson at this time of night?"Well, I'll see him." Grandpa Wilson immediately stood up and stepped into the living room, followed by Jim."Grandpa, don't take too long, you need to rest soon." Nathan reminded his grandfather, and Grandpa Wilson smiled and nodded."I wonder what Sonya's father wants to see grandpa for, at this time of night." Mike could no longer hide his curiosity."It seems very important, otherwise he could postpone it tomorrow, right?" Chris chimed in."Hmm, my sister's pretty smart, too, but what's the big deal?" Mike asked. Chris just shrugged."For sure, it has to do with Mr. Carter." Nathan said."Could it have something to do with Sonya?" This time, Nina weighed in."Aha, that makes sense, it must be about the
"Thanks, Dad. But I already have my own plans," Sonya said softly, smiling at her father."What plans, dear? Are you going back to New York?" Mr. Daniel asked cautiously, but Sonya shook her head and smiled."No, Dad. I promised myself I would leave the glamorous world that has blinded my eyes and heart, I will start with a simpler life that is closer to nature.""What do you mean, Sonya?""Earlier, when I was really feeling desperate, I met a little angel who changed my outlook on life, and then I had a long discussion with my best friend, Jenny.Finally, we agreed: Jenny and I will open a ranch business. Before that, I will first learn from Jenny's uncle, who has become a successful ranch businessman in Texas. Jenny has contacted her uncle, and he is welcome. He will help. Just wait until I'm ready.""So, you're moving to Texas?""Right, Dad. But before I go there I'm going to Detroit first to meet the Harris family and drop Mom off, doesn't Mom want to go home?" Sonya smiled as she
"Where are you, Sonya? Don't try to betray me."Richard's face was red. He had contacted Sonya many times, but the woman's number was not active. Richard had indeed cut off communication with Sonya for some time, but it was for the time being until the situation was safe.Now, he heard the news that the Wilson family was having a big party in Philly, which meant that Nathan and his family focused on the event, so he felt that his supervision was starting to loosen up. Richard also had a plan, but Sonya was going to spearhead it. Unfortunately, she couldn't be reached. Had she changed her number?On the other hand, Bob has received information from his father about Sonya, a detailed explanation, and access to Sonya's apartment. Bob was very happy to hear the news about his sister. He hopes that Sonya has really realized and wants to change herself for the better.Bob immediately checked Sonya's apartment and contacted the organizers of a charity bazaar to auction off Sonya's belongings
