Chapter 1652


    Chapter 1652


    Thaddeus had envisioned a peaceful family dinner, a moment of unity and harmony, but it had turned


    into a disaster.


    Being a man, he thought he could smooth things over with some sweet talk, “Ahem! Bertha, I realize


    that I might have been a bit harsh on…”


    But Bertha wasn’t in the mood for histe apologies. Taking Lea by the hand, she prepared to leave the


    table. “Lea, let’s go. We won’t live with him anymore!”


    Lea nodded and stood up with Bertha.


    As Bertha and Lea prepared to leave, a smirk spread across Sophia’s face. This was just the spectacle


    she was hoping for: her father kicking them out.

    Sophia knew that Thaddeus favored her, but she couldn’t stand anyone else taking even a tiny bit of his


    affection and attention. She secretly hoped that Bertha was serious about divorcing Thaddeus and


    taking her ‘brat’ of a daughter with her, never to return.


    Just as Bertha was about to leave with Lea, she caught Sophia’s triumphant grin. She paused and


    turned around. “Sophia, what are youughing at? Are you finally getting what you wanted, rid of me


    and Lea?”


    Sophia quickly withdrew her smile and feigned innocence. “Bertha, I wasn’tughing! Why are you


    using me?”


    Bertha smirked, “I can see clearly whether you wereughing or not. But don’t celebrate too early!


    Sure, I’m divorcing your father, but I won’t leave empty-handed! Your father wants to leave all his


    wealth to you, right? Well, I’ll hire the bestwyers and fight for half of it! You’re aware of thew in M


    State, aren’t you? It tends to favor the mother!”


    “You…” Sophia lost her smile. She hadn’t expected Bertha, who was usually timid, to fight back this


    fiercely.


    Bertha cut her off, “Are you going to mock me now? Saying that I’m greedy and have been after your


    father’s wealth all along? I’ll have you know, I don’t need money and I don’t care for your father’s


    wealth! Thewsuit is to provide a fair share for my daughter. Once I win and gain half of your father’s


    wealth, I’ll donate all of it to charity in Lea’s name! In other words, I’d rather give it away than let you


    inherit it all!”


    Sophia was taken aback. She looked at her father with an aggrieved expression, “Dad, you see. This is


    her true face…”


    Bertha chuckled. As she had expected, Sophia yed the victim card.


    She interrupted again, “Enough! Stop ying the victim in front of your father! Don’t think that acting


    pitiful will make him hand over his fortune to you sooner. I’ll be filing for divorce in court right away. Until


    the divorce is finalized, your father has no right to decide who will inherit his fortune!”


    Sophia clenched her fists. If it wasn’t in front of Thaddeus, she would have pped Bertha by now!


    Seeing Sophia’s anger, Bertha smiled, “You brought this upon yourself! If you hadn’t targeted Lea, I


    would have been fine with your father leaving you all his wealth. Are you happy now?”
