    Chapter 84


    Jason gripped the report, knuckles white. Fury darkened his eyes. The doctor, his gaze flitting


    between Sophia and the unconscious Alison, cleared his throat. “This report shows a toxin on


    Sophia’s clothes. A colorless, odorless gas, harmless normally, but deadly for someone critically ill


    like Mrs. Wilson, Lucky I recognized the signs, or this could’ve gone south fast.”


    Before Jason could explode, Cam stormed toward Sophia, a p ringing through the room. “You


    ungrateful bitch!” she spat. “Alison has always treated you with kindness and care, like a


    granddaughter. But you, you repay her kindness with harm, over and over again. Four years of


    marriage, and you haven’t gotten pregnant. Then Ada gets pregnant, a wonderful thing, and Alison,


    bless her heart, wants you to take in the baby. What a wonderful thing! But you hate Alison because


    of this, and you want to kill her. You are just too evil”


    Sophia’s mouth was bleeding, and there were fresh red marks on her pale face. Her eyes looked


    incredibly cold. She didn’t say anything to defend herself because she knew her exnation


    wouldn’t make any difference. After all, if her own husband didn’t believe her, no one else would


    either. But she knew that one day the truth woulde out, and then Jason would feel immense


    pain.


    Seeing Sophia’s stoicism, Cam raised her hand again. A strong arm mped down on her wrist.


    It was Jason. “Jason, what are you doing? This woman is a snake. Stole her cousin’s fiancé,


    poisoned Alison…”


    Jason pulled Cam back, his voiceced with ice as he turned to Sophia. “Did you do it?” The


    intensity in his gaze momentarily flickered fear in Sophia’s eyes. She instinctively clutched her


    stomach and retreated, trapped against the wall. Jason’s wrath, when unleashed, was terrifying.


    Though numb to life’s cruelty, she wasn’t sure she could face it. “Would you believe me if I said no?”


    she whispered, a tremor in her


    voice.


    Jason’s body tensed at the flicker of fear. A tense silence stretched before he leaned in, his voice a


    chilling whisper. “Don’t lie to me, Sophia. if this leads back to you, I swear you’ll regret the day you


    were born.” He shoved her away violently. Her head mmed into the wall, and dizziness washed


    over her. She almost copsed, but she managed to steady herself by bracing her hands against


    the wall. She thought to herself, “He’s going to investigate, which means he doesn’t believe me. I


    can already guess what the results will be. That malicious woman Ada set this trap and arranged


    everything. There’s no way I can escape.

    A violent cough wracked Sophia, her heart condition ring up. Blood welled in her throat, staining


    her lips crimson. The man across from her seemed like a distant memory, a stranger recing the


    brash young man she’d once known.


    Seeing blood, a jolt of concern shot through Jason. “How hard did my mother hit her?‘ he


    wondered.


    Cam, ever vignt, interjected, “So, what now, Jason? If she did it…”


    Jason hesitated, his gaze lingering on Sophia’s sickly pallor. The harsh words caught in his throat.


    Cam didn’t urge him either, and she said matter–of–factly, “If you won’t say it, then I wilk if it’s


    really her doing, she’ll be sent to prison for attempted murder.” Jason suddenly clenched his fists


    tightly, his face showing hesitation. If she were to be sent to prison on such charges, she would


    have to spend at least three years inside.


    Cam pressed on, refusing to let him back down. “Jason, answer mel Don’t let Alison down!”
