Chapter 1395


    Sophie wanted nothing more than to spit out a venomous “serves you right,” but the subsequent words


    choked her into silence. It was as though the sins of her parents had indeede back to haunt her, a


    karmic retribution for their past misdeeds.


    She had everything one could want in life, except for the love of the man she truly desired. Ironically, it


    was Eleanor-the one her father had cast aside-who basked in that love, who was adored even to the


    point of suffering on her behalf. Could this really be fate’s cruel hand?


    “But it was my parents who did those things, not me,” Sophie protested, her voice trembling with


    indignation. “I was just a child; I knew nothing about it. Why should I bear the brunt of their karma,


    why?”


    “Because,” Eleanor said, pinching Sophie’s cheek with deliberate slowness, “deep down, you are as


    venomous as they were, maybe even more cruel!”


    Sophie, despite her youth, had cold-bloodedly harmed Dominic, who loved her dearly, and stubbornly


    refused to admit her role in his demise. A woman like that was inherently malicious.


    After Eleanor spoke, she let go of Sophie’s face. In that instant, Sophie, fueled by fury, attempted to


    punch Eleanor in the stomach but was swiftly restrained by a man in ck.


    Sophie’s face flushed with anger. “Eleanor, count your blessings. If I hadn’t lured you to Area Opaca


    using Bernard as bait, you would never have found your husband. Without that, you wouldn’t be here,


    spewing your arrogance in my face!”


    Eleanor, now seated calmly again, nodded in agreement. “For that, I do thank you. Without your


    vengeful scheme, how could I sit here and watch your mask contort with rage?”


    Eleanor’s taunt enraged Sophie further, “What’s so great about you anyway? You’re nothing but a


    lowlife, unting your cheap life. Without your precious title, you’re worth less than the mud on my


    boots.”


    As soon as she finished speaking, the man in ck raised his hand and pped her hard across the


    face. “Watch your mouth in front of Miss Sharp, or I’ll feed it to the snakes!”


    Sophie seethed with jealousy, thinking of Eleanor’s secure ce in Bernard’s heart and her legitimate


    status as the second granddaughter of the Sharp family. “You imposter! Make sure you double-check


    her story!”


    Eleanor had said all she wanted to say. Now, it was time for revenge. She looked to the man in ck.


    “Please, bind her and throw her into the sea, let her experience the agony of drowning.”


    Yates entered the room and interjected, “That’s too easy a death for her. Throw her into the lower


    district first, let her y the survival games with the others, then weigh her down and dump her in the


    ocean.”


    This punishment was previously discussed with Yates, who had promised maniption of the game if


    Sophie kept silent about Bernard’s ordeal in Area Opaca, ensuring her survival and eventual escape.


    Sophie thought Yates would honor this deal for the sake of the Siren Organization member list in her


    possession, so she remained silent, plotting hereback and the demise of Eleanor and her unborn


    child.


    Yates shifted his gaze from Sophie to Eleanor. “Let’s go to the surveince room and watch, to soothe


    your anger,” he said softly, then turned sternly to the guards, “What are you waiting for? Get moving!”


    The guards undid Sophie’s shackles and hauled her out, treating her as if she were nothing more than


    lifeless cargo. As she was hauled away, Sophie cursed over her shoulder, “You better start collecting


    some karma for that little devil in your belly!”


    The word “devil” ignited Eleanor’s fury. “Sophie, calling Bernard’s child a devil shows you never truly


    loved him. Stop hiding behind a facade of love to vent your inherent malice.”


    Sophie didn’t respond; instead, sheughed maniacally, her sinister cackle as though she was cursing


    the unborn child, who instinctively kicked in protest.


    Eleanor soothed her swollen belly, whispering, “Don’t worry, baby. It’s just a bad auntie with evil


    intentions.


    Mommy will take care of her. You’re safe.”

    Even as the child calmed, Eleanor’s own heart couldn’t settle. It was Sophie who was in the wrong, yet


    Eleanor still grappled with the moral dilemma of retribution.


    Yates saw Eleanor’s distress andforted her. “Your child is reminding you to finish this. Get rid of


    Sophie, don’t let her continue to harm others. Let’s go, do what must be done.”


    Yates helped Eleanor to her feet and escorted her to the surveince room.


    His eagerness wasn’t just about justice. It served two purposes – avenging Vanya and her daughters,


    and removing the Ratliff Group, who knew too much.
