All Chapters of Marriage Fraud? Fine—I'll Rise Higher!: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

"Why do you guys get to call the shots?" Geraldine was upset when she heard that she had to give them the name first. "What if you go back on your word and refuse to let me join the academy once I give you the name?""I'm not the type to break my promise." Lana looked at her with a blank expression. "Whatever I promised you remains unchanged—give me the name, and I'll give you a job. You can record everything I say if you're worried I'll change my mind. If you're not okay with it, then you can go."Naturally, Geraldine didn't want to leave just like that. Even if she still didn't trust Lana, she ultimately decided to give the name first."This is the person who abducted Sophie back then." She gave a photo and a note with an address and phone number scrawled on it to Lana. "I've helped you do all the digging. You can just go straight to him."Lana looked at the photo. It was of a young man whom she didn't recognize. She asked, "How can I be sure it's him?""Do you think I'd just ge

Lana was smart, so she knew what Sophie wanted to do. She immediately called Geraldine.Geraldine was confident in the arrangements she'd made. Per her plan, Lana would contact her within a day. And when the call came less than 24 hours later, her confidence skyrocketed."Are you calling to inform me that I can start the onboarding process?" she asked before Lana could even say anything. She sounded exalted as she said, "I knew I could do it!""Yes, I am." Lana's tone remained cold. "Report to the academy on Monday.""Alright!" Geraldine was so excited that she was even smug. "Good to know you keep your word."Lana chuckled coldly. She hung up without responding to that.She hadn't said anything, but the laugh had sounded like pure mockery to Geraldine."You all look down on me!" The smile melted from her face as she tightened her grip on her phone. Her expression became a little twisted. "I can do everything Sophie can, and I'll do it better! Just wait!"She threw her phone on

"Ma'am, is your grandson's name Oli—" Sophie's tentative question was interrupted by Oliver."Sophie Walker?" He was surprised when he recognized her voice. "What are you doing with my grandmother?""It really is you." Sophie was dazed now that she was sure it was him.Cynthia's eyes lit up when she heard their exchange and Sophie's name. "Oh, so you two know each other. What a coincidence! Here, you two can talk."She held her phone to Sophie's face as her smile turned poignant.Sophie looked at the screen to see a handsome face that she didn't recognize. He had deep-set eyes, a tall nose, and chiseled features. Even through the screen, she could tell that he had a commanding presence.This was her first time seeing Oliver's face so clearly. He was younger and more handsome than she'd imagined.Then, she snapped to her senses and hastily shook her head. "It's fine, Mrs. Halston Senior. Mr. Halston and I are only business partners. We don't know each other that well."Oliver gl

The way Patrick's wife dressed and the way she smiled bore a striking resemblance to Tricia. Maybe that was just what gentle people were like.Because of that resemblance, Sophie immediately felt fond of her despite this being their first meeting."My name is Letitia Carter." Letitia took the initiative to introduce herself. Even her name sounded similar to Tricia's."And I'm Terry." The boy standing beside Letitia, Terry Walker, stepped forward and smiled warmly at Sophie. "Hi, Sophie!"Terry looked to be about four or five. His bright eyes and chubby face made him look absolutely adorable.Sophie returned to her senses and smiled as she greeted them.Everyone settled down in the garden and chatted. The atmosphere was cozy and heartwarming.Terry adored Sophie and kept clinging to her. After a while, he pointed at her sunglasses and asked, "Why do you need to wear those, Sophie?""Because the sunlight is too bright. My eyes are still recovering, so I need the sunglasses to pro

When that thought came to Sophie, her first reaction was that it was outrageous. Terry was only four or five years old. How could he possibly think of doing something like this to frame her?Patrick and Letitia were both so gentle and unassuming, too. They had no grudges against her, so there was no way they would teach Terry to act like this.Sophie felt that there had to be a misunderstanding somewhere. They would have to wait until Terry woke up to ask him what exactly had happened."Thankfully, someone acted quickly, so Mr. Terry's life isn't in danger. He'll be fine after a couple of days of IV fluids and proper rest." The family doctor was done checking on Terry half an hour later, and he emerged from the room to update everyone on his situation.Everyone was relieved to hear that. Thank goodness Terry was fine."Is it okay for me to ask him a few questions in his current condition?" Sophie asked the doctor."It should be fine. He looks like he's in pretty good spirits."W
