Sophia's Revenge

Daniel stood before my father calmly, smiling slightly.John let out a relieved sigh and took the lead in applauding. "What do you think, Tim? My son isn't half bad, is he? He secured the deal for you. Shouldn't he be rewarded?"The others at the table hesitated at first but soon joined in, clapping along.The atmosphere grew lively again.I wondered what made Daniel feel he could make up the loss so easily by merely securing the deal with the BL Group.I walked up to him with a frown and looked at him with red eyes."Daniel, why are you still wearing the suit from our wedding day? Have you been so busy taking care of Ms. Jones that you didn't even have time to change?"The banquet hall fell silent as the smile on Daniel's face froze.I forced a bright smile, stepped forward, and pushed him toward the door."Go home and take a shower. Get some rest. Don't worry. I'll take care of the rest."Behind me, a loud bang echoed through the hall as someone slammed the table.It was m

"It couldn't have been you, could it? Are you out of your mind?"I leaned back in my chair and smiled at her without saying a word.Susan stared at me for a long time. Her gaze started to waver.She was panicking."Sophia, what exactly are you after?" I laughed out loud."Ms. Jones, you called me Mrs. Rothman. Do you really need to ask? I want to protect my family and keep my husband. I spent over twenty years trying to marry Daniel. How could I possibly hand him over to you?"Susan was furious. She grabbed the coffee cup on the table, ready to splash it at me.I pulled out a document and placed it in front of her.Her face turned pale when she read through the document."You! Where did you get this?!"I smiled, picked up my purse, and stood up."Ms. Jones, I won't let this go. Let's see who's more capable."A few days later, I attended the twentieth birthday party of the Summer Corporation's heiress, Chloe Summer.The moment I walked in, Chloe delivered a loud slap acr

"No! No! Not unless you prove it to me! Slap her across the face! I'll only believe in you if you do so!" Daniel turned to the city mayor seated beside him. His expression turned dark, and he did not even spare much glance at Daniel.Finally, Daniel's face fell as he yelled, "Stop this nonsense, Susan!"Perhaps he had never spoken to her so harshly before, but Susan lost it the moment he spoke.She ran off the rooftop, got into her car, and slammed on the accelerator, plowing straight into the crowd.There were too many people in the way. They had no time to react.All we could do was watch in horror as bodies were struck and sent flying on the live broadcast.Susan did not stop. She sped off and disappeared.By the time we arrived at the scene, both the police and paramedics were already there. The area was in complete chaos.Injured people lay scattered across the ground, blood staining the pavement.I immediately took charge, ordering staff to assist the sightly wounded

"Susan lied to me! She lied to me! She never had cancer! She made it up to gain my sympathy! No wonder she refused to go to the hospital and insisted on staying home."She had a medical exam in the detention center, and that's when I found out. She was never sick! Never!" Daniel broke down crying, his sobs raw and painful."I regret everything, Ceres! I hated my father for over ten years because of her. I missed our wedding for her. I hurt you for her. After going in circles all these years, I finally realized you were the only one who ever truly cared about me."Daniel kept talking, and I listened quietly.The gentle evening breeze drifted through the open window, carrying me back to the year Susan was sent overseas by John.Daniel took his anger out on me, giving me the cold shoulder for a long time, but I still worried about him.Every time he was drunk with his friends, I would pick him up with the driver and bring him home.The wind was just as gentle as it was that night

"The CEO of the BL Group is a close friend of yours from your time studying in Amelica. You traded another deal with him on behalf of the Rothman Group in exchange for him shelving any cooperation with the Foster Corporation. Your goal was to crush the Foster Corporation, am I right?"I glanced at Susan, who stood to the side, utterly confused.I smiled and continued, "Speaking of which, I should really thank Ms. Jones. When you heard that she was terminally ill, you rushed overseas to bring her back, even at the cost of missing our wedding. In order to make up for that, you had no choice but to present the contract with the BL Group to calm my father's anger."I know Susan was the one regret you could never let go of, but it was your father who separated you two. I did nothing wrong, yet you took all your frustration from being powerless against your father and directed it at me and the Foster Corporation. "I once loved you with all my heart, but you wronged me. You married me j
