Lilin then continued, "My father has always felt guilty toward Sophia because he was abroad when her mother was ill and couldn't return in time before she passed away. He's been riddled with this feeling of regret and wants to make amends for his neglect, but Sophia is a greedy little wench who exploits her father's love and feelings of indebtedness to manipulate him into doing her bidding. I hope you'll succeed in your quest for revenge! Sophia needs to suffer the consequences of her actions. Evil people should never be allowed to prevail!"Corinne looked at Lilin with admiration. She felt that the young girl had a strong sense of justice and a desire to stand up for the truth."Are you two done chatting?" Zachary's impatient, stern voice interrupted the conversation between the two girls.Corinne cocked an eyebrow at him. "Not yet! I'm getting along pretty well with this young lady, and I'd like to chat with her a bit more before I leave."Zachary frowned. "You're going to be the

"Have you met him yet?" Melinda asked."No, not yet."The concerned Melinda frowned. "Well, why don't you meet him, then? He's found you anyway. I know you've always been thinking about him."The woman's voice sank slightly. "I don't know how to face him, and I don't want to hear him talk about anything remotely related to that family. He's doing well, and I'm content with the occasional see updates about him in the financial news.""If you truly felt that way," Melinda said, "you'd be sleeping soundly right now instead of calling me to talk about it. Deep down, you know that it's not just your son who's been searching for you. Your son's father must be the same, too. He still cares about you, and doesn't a part of you still think about him?"The woman's tone turned bitter. "Does he? If he did, he wouldn't have gotten married at the drop of a hat. Don't sugarcoat this, Melinda."Melinda responded, "But I heard that their marriage is on paper only. A few years ago, the woman was s

After they exited the restaurant, they gathered in Lucas' car while waiting for Corinne to come back with Bryan. That was when they spotted Jeremy dining on the first floor.Francine was anything but calm. She had resigned herself to the idea that her brother was gone forever, so seeing him in the flesh felt so surreal that she felt as if she had to touch him to truly believe his existence."You're all seeing it too, right? That's Jeremy! Jeremy is back! Let go of me! I'm going to ask him where he's been in the past three years!" Francine struggled to break free of their hold.Xante adjusted her spectacles and spoke rationally, "Yes, we're seeing the same thing as you are. However, I suggest that you look at who's sitting across from him before you charge in blindly."Francine thus looked over and noticed a woman sitting opposite Jeremy. It was none other than Sophia, and her presence only served to intensify Francine's anger."Hmph! I knew it had to be Sophia! She hid my brother

Melinda felt that the young woman was very familiar, so she questioned Corinne, "Who are you?"Corinne led the two children over and smiled at Melinda. "To be honest, I didn't want to interfere when you punish your daughter, but I just couldn't bring myself to let you continue when I heard that you wrongly accused your daughter of lying."Corinne's timely appearance allowed Lilin to find some form of solace in her predicament. "Miss Savior…I… I didn't tell anyone about you or Zachary."Corinne lowered her head and glanced gently at Lilin. "I know. You've done well, but you shouldn't get yourself into a misunderstanding with your mother because of us."Melinda was puzzled, but she immediately deduced Corinne's identity when Lilin addressed Corinne as 'Miss Savior'. That young woman had to have been the savior that Lilin mentioned—the same young woman who donated blood to save her life several years ago. However, she still did not understand why Corinne brought Benjamin to hide in th

Lilin intended to heed her mother's advice to speak less and avoid engaging in arguments with Sophia, but Sophia's persistent provocations became increasingly irritating. She glared at Sophia and curtly replied, "Mind your damn business!"Sophia's expression stiffened, and she refrained from responding to Lilin. Instead, she pursed her lips and looked at Melinda, saying, "Is this how you raise your daughter? She's not afraid of you and doesn't even listen to you because you've been overly indulgent with her. I think it would be best to let Dad take charge of teaching her a lesson. It'll probably be more effective."Melinda always tried to treat Sophia as her own daughter, hoping to be a positive influence on Sophia and encourage Sophia to accept her as a stepmother. However, her years of effort all proved unsuccessful. Sophia never treated her with respect and only pretended to be polite to her in front of Adam. Melinda could tolerate Sophia's attitude toward her, but she could not s
