    Chapter 72


    Ada’s hand flew to her cheek, eyes widening in disbelief as she stated at Sophia. The fiery sting


    across her face confirmed it wasn’t a dream this little tramp had pped her! Since returning home


    a month ago, Ada had kept Sophia under her thumb Now, suddenly, she dared to fight back. Shock


    turned to fury. “You hit me?” she spat.


    Sophia, her fingers tingling from the p, red coldly. “ying homewrecker, Ada? Maybe it’s


    time you kept your tail tucked between your legs. Twenty years on this earth, and I’ve never seen a


    woman so shameless with a married man. Be grateful it was just one p”


    Fury choked Ada. “You… you…” She clutched her face, ring at Sophia, her body trembling. That


    little. How dare shel


    Footsteps echoed from the stairs, Jason appeared, frowning, “What’s going on here?”


    Ada blinked back tears, the picture of a wronged woman. Throwing herself into his arms, she


    sobbed, “I wasn’t feeling wellst night. Couldn’t sleep, worried I’d wake Sophia. Came down to


    apologize, but she… she thought I was bragging about dragging you out of bed, and just… pped


    me for no reason! It hurts so bad.”


    Jason studied her face, spotting the red fingerprints and blood at the corner of her mouth, evidence


    of a forceful p. He shifted his gaze to Sophia, who stood aloof, indifferent. His eyes darkened.


    “Didn’t you decide to give those baby clothes to Ada’s kid? Why target her the minute youe


    downstairs? Can’t you just be civil?”


    There it was again. All it took was a few tears and a sob story, and Jason would be on her side,


    pinning the me on Sophia. Sophia used to believe she held a ce in his heart. Now, it seemed


    she’d been fooling herself. “Civil? Fine,” she said, her voice cool. “What if I put Oliver in front of


    you? What would you do?”


    “Don’t even think about it,” Jason snapped.


    Sophia let out a humorless chuckle. Brushing past them, she headed towards the stairs, “Can’t be


    the bigger person, Jas? Don’t expect me to be either.” She paused, looking back at the teary Ada


    clinging to Jason. “Those who stir the pot get burned, remember that.”


    Jason’s face remained dark. It wasn’t the attack on Ada, but the harshness in Sophia’s voice. In his


    memory, his wife had always been kind, never resorting to suchnguage. All in half a month, she’d


    changed so much.


    “Jason, I’m starving.” Ada mumbled from his arms, pulling him back from his thoughts. He gazed at


    her retreating figure, a mix of emotions swirling within him. “You’re not well, stay upstairs. Eve will


    bring food.”


    Ada’s smile faltered. He wasn’t worried about her health, just keeping her out of Sophia’s way. He


    was practically shoving her back into the room. This man was bing more and more invested in


    that… that other woman. No, she wouldn’t sit around and wait for disaster. It was time to eliminate


    Sophia, permanently. “Alright, back to the room then.” She expected him to carry her, but instead, a


    firm hand on her shoulder pushed her away. “Jason…”


    “Go. I have things to do. Can’te with you.” And with that, he stormed towards the stairs. Ada


    watched his retreating figure, her eyes narrowing She had to get rid of Sophia. Now, Otherwise,


    there would be endless trouble.

    Sophia had just reached the bottom step when a young man burst through the door, fear etched on


    his face. “Sophia, help! They’re gonna kill me! They’re gonna kill me!”
