Chapter 546 Fight


    After cleaning up any traces they might have left behind, they walked out of the private room.


    In the adjacent room, Sebastian and Madeline also left and returned to their car.


    The group returned to the Harts'' vacation mansion. After Quinton extracted valuable footage, he sent it


    to Sebastian.


    Sebastian and Madeline watched it together and then forwarded the video to Madeline. "You can


    handle this video on your own now."


    "Thank you!" Madeline thought for a moment before she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.


    Sebastian was momentarily stunned, but he soon smiled.


    Blushing, Madeline dared not look at him. After thinking for a moment, she sent the video separately to


    Sophie and Edmund.


    …


    Dusktown.


    The Foreman Family''s secondary estate.


    It was alreadyte, but Sophie couldn''t fall asleep as he tossed and turned in bed.


    With her mind filled with thoughts of Edmund, she was angry, resentful, and in pain.


    She couldn''t leave nor forget him.


    This was like an obsession. Edmund belonged to her and must be hers. She would never allow


    Edmund to leave her!


    As she was fiercely plotting, determined to find Edmund regardless of where he was hiding or what


    price needed to be paid once morning came, her phone buzzed.


    Impatiently, she reached for her phone and nced at it. It was an unfamiliar number that sent her a


    video.


    N?vel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.


    She opened the video. After watching it, she sat up abruptly, her blood running cold.


    Is this true?


    No.


    It can''t be!


    This can''t be real!


    The Foreman Family were all fools. How could her parents, who were so shrewd, be deceived by


    Elijah?!


    But this was a video and not a photo. The possibility of it being fake was very small.


    The person in the video, Ashley, was as alive as any other living person. Judging from her expressions,


    actions, and tone of voice, it didn''t seem like she was lying.


    Have I been deceived by Elijah and Ashley?


    Her mind was in chaos. With trembling fingers, she dialed her personal bodyguard''s number. She told


    the bodyguard to prepare a private ne for her to return to Ys City.


    After putting away her phone and changing her clothes, she rushed out unsteadily.


    Her butler was already waiting outside the door when he called out anxiously, "Miss Sophie, why do


    you suddenly want to go home sote? It''s not safe to go back at night. Can''t you go back tomorrow?"


    Sophie didn''t say a word. She opened the video and tossed her phone to the butler to watch before she


    dashed toward the airstrip.


    "Miss Sophie!" The butler hurriedly chased after her.


    As he chased after her, he nced at the video a few times. Although he only saw different parts of the


    video, he understood what was happening.


    In fact, he had always believed that Edmund was innocent.


    But sometimes, those involved couldn''t see clearly.


    The Foreman Family had deep feelings for Edmund, which was why they were easily swayed by


    emotions.


    As an outsider, he had a clearer view.


    He had advised Sophie and her father, but they were passionate people who loved intensely. They


    were too angry to calm down and think.


    They couldn''t listen to his advice.


    He wasn''t too surprised when he saw the video. He only felt a headacheing.


    Now that Sophie knew she was wrong and had wrongly used Edmund, based on his understanding


    of Sophie, she would probably do two things.


    The first thing would be to seek revenge on Elijah and Ashley.


    The second thing would be to hope for a reconciliation with Edmund.


    The first thing was easy to handle. She just needed to keep an eye on Ashley and prevent her from


    doing anything illegal, so as not tond himself in prison.


    As for the second thing, ording to his understanding of Edmund, Edmund might forgive Sophie, but


    he might not return to her side.


    Would Sophie be able to ept this oue when the time came?


    How should I persuade Miss Sophie?


    Thinking about this difficult problem gave him a headache.


    He called for Sophie''s personal bodyguards and boarded the ne back to Ys City.


    It was still dark when the nended in Ys City.


    Sophie went straight to Temptation Tavern.


    After some effort, she managed to locate Ashley.


    Ashley was still unconscious in her private room.


    Without saying a word, Sophie brought a basin of water from the bathroom and poured it all over


    Ashley''s face.


    Ashley proceeded to scream and woke up from her sleep.


    She was bewildered when she sat up abruptly from the couch, but when she saw Sophie''s face clearly,


    she screamed, "Sophie, are you nuts?! Why are you acting crazy again?"


    Sophie didn''t say a word; she showed Ashley the video.


    After Ashley watched the video, her limbs went cold, and she trembled all over as she stammered, "I-I


    was drunk. I was talking nonsense. It''s not true—"


    "Don''t you know that drunken words are often true?" Sophie put away her phone, walked up to Ashley,


    grabbed her hair, and gave her several hard ps. "You dare to plot against me and Edmund? Edmund


    nearly lost his life because of your schemes! Your father was raised by my grandparents. Everything he


    has now is thanks to the Foreman Family. Not only is he ungrateful, but he''s also turning against us,


    plotting against our family. Ashley... you''re finished!"


    She pped Ashley repeatedly until she finally stopped. Then, she turned to the butler and instructed,


    "Davis, give the order. After daybreak, attack Elijah Foreman''spany with full force. I want them to


    go bankrupt and have nothing left. I want them to suffer!"


    The butler nodded. "Yes, I understand, Miss Sophie. I will pass on the message."


    It was only natural for Sophie to seek revenge. There was nothing wrong with it.


    If she targeted Elijah''s family for no reason, she would definitely be criticized and have her reputation


    tarnished.


    But now, she had a legitimate reason.


    Because of Edmund''s situation, her parents had died one after another. Based on this alone, it was


    within reason no matter how Sophie dealt with Elijah''s family.


    No one would sympathize with Elijah, let alone help him.


    "No! Please!" Ashley was so scared she was trembling. "Sophie, I beg you, please don''t! The things I


    said were all lies. I was fooling that gigolo! Please, my father is your uncle. You can''t do this!"


    She was scared to the point of breaking down.


    Her father''s smallpany, which he ran himself, was making some money, butpared to the


    Foreman Group, it was like a little chickpared to an eagle.


    If an eagle attacked a little chick, it wouldn''t take many rounds for the little chick to be eaten.


    Thepany might even end up in debt.


    If her father''spany was gone and they were heavily in debt, how would she live in the future?


    Also, if her father, mother, and brother found out that their family had brought disaster upon themselves


    because she had drunkenly revealed the truth, they would definitely hate her.


    The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. She knelt on the ground, clutching


    Sophie''s legs. "Sophie, I beg you, please believe me. I was really drunkst night when I said those


    things. None of it was true. I really love Edmund, and I got pregnant with his child—"


    She shouldn''t have said these things. The more she said, the more furious and hateful Sophie became.


    After Sophie kicked Ashley to the ground, she kicked thetter mercilessly as if she had gone mad.
