Chapter 549 A Change of Heart?


    And all of this was caused by her idiot of a daughter!


    If Ashley wasn''t his own daughter, he would have strangled her to death!


    Upon hearing Elijah''s words, Silvia waspletely panicked.


    Losing everything was no small matter.


    Ever since their family was kicked out of Foreman Group by Sophie, their quality of life had plummeted,


    and their social status was no longer what it used to be.


    When they were all working in the Foreman Group, some of the wealthydies who knew her would


    fawn over her and be friendly with her when she went out.


    But ever since they were removed from Foreman Group, those wealthydies who used to be friendly


    with her didn''t pay much attention to her anymore. When she took the initiative to approach them, they


    either ignored her or made sarcastic remarks.


    Over time, she no longer liked to go out.


    She hated Sophie for ignoring her rtives and actually kicking their entire family out of Foreman


    Group. But after Sophie''s parents passed away, Sophie became the head of Foreman Group, and


    whatever she said was final.


    After Silvia''s husband left Foreman Group, he started a smallpany, which was not even as big as a


    branch of Foreman Group.


    Compared to Foreman Group, her husband''spany was like an armpared to a thigh.


    She despised Sophie to death, and yet, she didn''t dare to offend Sophie at all. When she saw Sophie,


    she still had to smile and please her, hoping that Sophie would have a change of heart and let their


    family return to Foreman Group.


    Although she knew that hope was slim, she still hoped that one day, their family of four could return to


    Foreman Group.


    Or perhaps, there might be an opportunity in the future for her son to rece Sophie and be the


    one in power in Foreman Group.


    By then, no one would dare to look down on her anymore!


    She had always held onto the dream of returning to Foreman Group, but now her husband told her that


    they not only had no chance of returning to Foreman Group, but Sophie would also retaliate against


    them and they would lose everything.


    She had seen countless people who had been in the business world for years fail in their businesses


    and lose everything.


    Former millionaires who lost everything overnight and ended up pushing carts on the street selling


    street food were considered lucky.


    The worst were those who couldn''t handle the blow and jumped off buildings or cut their wrists. They


    lost their money and their lives.


    Just imagining the possibility of such fate was terrifying!


    The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. "Elijah!" She grabbed Elijah''s arm. "Think


    of a way. No matter what, Sophie is your niece! Putting everything else aside, at least keep our


    company! Yves hasn''t gotten married yet. If our family goes bankrupt, what will he do for the rest of his


    life?"


    Elijah remained silent for a while before shaking his head. "There''s no way..."


    Through Edmund''s incident, he had already seen Sophie for who she was.


    Sophie had a narrow mind and was selfish and cold-blooded.

    She could torture Edmund, who had grown up with her and had always been obedient to her, to the


    point of death. How could she show any mercy to him?


    Andpared to Foreman Group, his power was like a drop of waterpared to an ocean.


    Sophie didn''t have to do much if he wanted to ruin him.


    In no time, he would lose everything, be penniless, wander the streets, and be a stray that


    people threw stones at...


    "No! That won''t happen..." Silvia shook her head repeatedly, unable to ept such a result. "There


    must be a way! There must be a way!"


    Her gaze fell on Ashley. "Let Ashley go and apologize to Sophie. Tell her that everything was Ashley''s


    doing and has nothing to do with our family!"


    She grabbed Ashley''s arm. "Ashley, beg Sophie and grovel as an apology! If Sophie doesn''t forgive


    you, don''t get up!"


    "Mom!" Ashley cried out. "I''ve already done that, but Sophie didn''t listen!"


    "Go do it again. If she doesn''t forgive you, don''t get up!" Silvia shouted anxiously. "Ashley, think it


    through. If our family goes bankrupt, our future will be like hell! You''ll have to work hard to earn money


    for food. What kind of job will you do? Washing dishes or selling yourself?"


    Ashley cried and shook her head, almost out of breath.


    She didn''t want to live that kind of life.


    She would rather die!


    She knew what her mom meant by selling herself.


    In the past, she would go to Temptation Tavern to spend money, and she would treat the escorts there


    like they were her ythings whom she could do whatever she wanted with them.


    If her role was reversed, and she had to sell herself, how could she ever show her face in public if


    people found out?


    "If you don''t want to live that kind of life, go beg Sophie!" Silvia stood up and pushed her toward the


    door. "Go quickly! Don''t get up if she doesn''t forgive you! You must make it clear to her that everything


    was your doing and has nothing to do with your dad. Only if our family has money will you have money.


    Otherwise, your life will be over!"


    She pushed Ashley out of the door and mmed it shut, shouting at Ashley outside the door, "Ashley,


    remember, no matter what method you use, you must make Sophie believe that the incident with


    Edmund has nothing to do with your father. You are doomed for the rest of your life otherwise!"


    Ashley looked at the closed door, crying as she sat on the ground.


    She understood what her mother meant.


    But how could Sophie possibly believe her?


    Sophie was like a mad dog; once she bit someone, she wouldn''t let go.


    Sophie already hated her, and now that she had heard with her own ears what she said to that escort.


    Even if Ashley tried her best, Sophie would never believe that the incident with Edmund had nothing to


    do with Elijah, let alone forgive her.


    But her mom told her to go, so she had to go.


    Even if there was only a one-in-a-million chance, she had to try.


    Their family was already at a dead end. This was ast resort, and she could only give it a try.


    After leaving Elijah''s house, Sophie went to thepany first.


    She held an emergency meeting and deployed tasks to obstruct Elijah''spany.


    Elijah''spany was just a smallpany, and with the full force of Foreman Group obstructing it, it


    wouldn''t take long for Elijah to go bankrupt.


    After arranging everything, Sophie immediately boarded a ne to Dusktown.


    Edmund was still in Dusktown.


    She wanted to see him.


    She wanted to let him know that the truth hade to light, and she knew that he had been wronged.


    She wanted to apologize to him!


    She wanted Edmund toe back to her, forget everything that happened before, and start anew with


    her.


    After returning to Dusktown and finding out that Edmund was staying at Oasis Law Office, she hurriedly


    rushed to where she was.


    Edmund had guessed that Sophie woulde to find him after he received the video.


    When the Hart Family''s bodyguards called to inform him that someone was looking for him downstairs,


    he wasn''t surprised at all. He asked the bodyguards to help ry a message to Sophie, asking her to


    Soon, there was a knock on the door.


    Edmund said, "Come in."


    Sophie then opened the door and came in. When she saw him, her eyes turned red. "Ed!"
