She decided to move a part of their family’s property to Sophia’s home country, then live there as a permanent resident. Their


    family had expanded its business overseas for almost two hundred years, so it was about time for them to return to their roots.


    She even decided to be buried with her husband in the future,Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    In the evening, Sophia strolled in the garden outside with Martha, listening to the older woman''s amusing stories about her


    husband’s antics when he was at young child. She kept lowering her head to chuckle discreetly. Everyone''s childhood was filled


    with fun, it seemed -even Arthur was no different.


    Just then, a servant came over to Martha and reported, ‘Old Madam Weiss, Miss Jennings is outside and wants to see you.”


    Martha frowned as soon as she heard. that. “I don’t want to see her. Tell her to leave.”


    ‘She’s on her knees and won''t budge no matter what we say. She insists on seeing you.” The servant had tried to chase her


    away too, but it was exactly because


    Emily refused to leave that the servant came to report it.


    Martha huffed for a few seconds, furious at the mention of the Jennings. She said to Sophia, “Sophia,e with me!”


    Thetter nodded and followed Martha out of the yard. On the other side of the iron gates, Emily was kneeling with tears


    streaming down her face. She trembled visibly when she saw Sophia, then lowered her head in shame.


    She never thought that Sophia would see her like this. It wouldn’t be too embarrassing if she kneeled and begged Martha, but

    come begging for mercy?”


    “Grandma, my parents have repented. They didn’t mean anything evil; they just

    ‘Grandma’.


    “Don''t call me that, for | don’t have a grandchild as evil as you. Your parents love you, but you also allowed them to carry out


    their ns. What makes you any different from them?”


    “You did something to Artie so that he would forget about me. Do you think you can attain happiness just like that? Did it ever


    ur to you that Artie’s life could’ve been in danger?” Sophia also questioned angrily.


    Tears streamed down Emily’s face as sudden anger took over her. She looked up and red at Sophia as she said, “If it weren''t


    for you, | would’ve been a perfect match for Artie. You! You''re the one who caused this to happen.”


    “How dare you! You haven''t repented at all! You''re even pushing the me on Sophia, but she’spletely innocent in this


    matter. | was wrong about you,” Martha shouted. She once thought that


    Emily was a decent girl, but she never thought that thetter would turn so evil because of her jealousy. Emily truly wasn’t a good


    person at heart.


    Emily''s hatred only grew stronger. She had originallye to beg for mercy, but when she saw Sophia, her anger was stoked.


    Thus, she did the wrong thing again. She shouted in panic, “Grandma, I’m sorry-*
