    “I… I need to make a call. I’m going back to my room.”

    Sophia forced a smile but couldn’t really smile when facing Rickard’s cold expression. She looked as if


    she was going to cry and it looked


    “Rickard, what’s going on?” Julie unhappily said, feeling bad for her daughter. “Why the long face? Who


    made you angry?”


    Rickard kept this cold expression. “There’s something I need to ask the two of you. Wanda, can you


    please take Renfrew to y?’


    Wanda was startled when she was suddenly spoken to but quickly took Renfrew away.


    Julie noticed that something was wrong and frowned.


    “Just say what you want to say. Why do you need to take the kid away?”


    “Because,” Rickard said, taking a deep breath, trying really hard to control his anger. “I’m afraid that


    what I’m going to say would


    traumatize him.”


    Rickard threw a folder at Sophia and coldly said, “Look at what you


    did.”


    Sophia just took a nce and her expression immediately changed.” Rickard, this… Someone is trying


    to frame me. I didn’t do this!”


    “You’re still trying to lie?” Rickard was infuriated. “I personally looked into this. To avoid wrongfully


    ming you for something, I even triple- checked it! Three times! They all still pointed to you!”


    He had known that Sophia was spoiled, but he thought that it was alright because she was a girl. He


    never thought that she would think


    of hurting people!


    “Rickard, please don’t be angry. I’m sorry.” Sophia almost burst out in


    tears.


    Knowing well that they wouldn’t be able to hide this any longer, Julie spoke up. “Rickard, calm down.


    Your sister was young and naive at that time and made a mistake. That woman ended up fine anyway,


    so it was just a scare.”


    “Young and naive? Just a scare?” Rickard repeated as heughed ironically. “I’ve checked the records.


    There was no way Sophia had that much money, so someone had to be funding her.”


    The man’s eyes turned red as he red at them. “Sophia, if you don’t want to make me angry, you


    bettere clean. Who gave you the money?”


    “I… I don’t know.” Sophia was frantic as tears ran down her face, not out of guilt, but out of fear. “Mom,


    please say something!”


    “What do you want me to say!” Julie frowned. Even though Rickard didn’t say it out loud, she knew her


    son well enough to know that he was suspecting that she gave the money. “Rickard, this is all in the


    past. Hesper already split up with you and has her own life now. What’s the point of going through all


    this trouble? Why are you tearing the family apart because of an outsider?”


    “Who says that she’s an outsider?” Rickard’s anger was at its peak. No matter how long has passed,


    Herper will always be the mother of my son. She was wrongly used when she was with me.


    Shouldn’t I find out the truth?”


    “What do you want to do then? Kill your sister?” Seeing how she


    couldn’t convince him, Julie started to throw a tantrum. “All you want is to find justice for Hesper that


    you don’t care how you’re putting your sister in a tough spot for her. You might as well kill her in


    Hesper’s name!.But listen, Sophia is my only daughter, so if anything


    happens to her, I don’t want to live either!”


    Rickard was disappointed. He understood that his mother said all


    that because this was linked to her. On one hand, it was his family, and on the other, it was Hesper.


    How would he choose?
