Sophie’s intuition told her something was amiss.
Finally, Sophie opened the door and asked, “Is there any breakfast? I’m a bit hungry”
Sophie sat in the center of the courtyard, with the sky just beginning to lighten, while the maid prepared
some morning tea.
Sophie was still pondering the events that had transpired in her dream. If everything in her dream was
true, then her severe hemorrhage was no ident but rather something Nichole had orchestrated.
Initially, she had thought James was the one who had moved the Type A blood, but now, thinking it
over, if James really wanted her deed, what would stop him? Why would he wall until she was about to
give birth?
Moreover if James were to act, he could have killed her quietly without raising any suspicion. With so
many people and eyes in the hospital, why would he use a method like moving Type A blood, giving
others leverage over him?
“Has Mr. Gordon woken up yet?”
“He has been up for a while. The maid asked, “Would you like to see him?”
“think it’s time for me to leave.”
Sophie held in her hand evidence of Perry’s crimes. She could leave at any moment, but exposing
Perry would also mean sending him to prison.
At that moment, Perry had just gotten up when a knock came from the door.
The maid went forward, opened the door, and saw Sophie’s face, startling her. “Mi–Miss?”
Hearing the maid’s voice, Perry alsoe downstairs, asking, “Who is it?”

Perry approached, and when he noticed Sophie at the door, his expression froze for a second but
returned to normal the next. He rushed to Sophie, concem written all over his face. “Sophie, how did
you get out? What happened? Have the police cleared everything up?”
Without answering any of his questions, Sophie smiled slightly and said, “Uncle Perry, you’re really
concerned about me.”
“Of course, you’re my brother’s only child. How could I not be concerned?” Perry sighed, “I don’t know
who’s trying to frame our family and send you to jail. There’s been so much gossip these days. I was
really worried something might happen to you.”
“Don’t worry. Uncle Perry, Im fine and back now, aren’t I?” Sophie said, smiling as she made
herselffortable on the couch.
Perry didn’t know what to say next, and just watched her.
Sophie then turned to Perry. “Uncle Perry, don’t just stand there. Have a seat”
“Alright, alright.”
Perry sat opposite Sophie, asionally ncing at her. He asked. “Sophie, tell me, how did you get
out? Did Colby talk to the officials?”
“Uncle Perry, I’ve been in jail all day and couldn’t contact anyone. Thank you for your concem
yesterday.”
As Sophie still hadn’t answered his question, Perry grew even more anxious, “What are you talking
about? We’re family. Embezzlement and misappropriation of funds are serious issues though. If you
really needed money you could have just told me.”
“Uncle Perry, do you have money?” Sophie seemed intrigued, “I might need a billion to cover the
deficit. The police said that misappropriation of funds is easy to handle. We just need to fill the gap. But
embezzlement might be a bit more serious.”
Perry’s eyelids twitched. “Sophie, you’vemitted embezzlement?”
grow up. Do you think I would?”
“Uncle Perry, you’ve watched me grow up.
“Of course not! It must be a setup!” Perry spoke indignantly. If I catch the person who’s trying to harm
our family, I will-
Suddenly, Sophie threw a document onto the table. The sound silenced everything around them, and
Perry’s voice stopped abruptly.
Sophie spoke calmly. “Uncle Perry, we’re family. I didn’t want to beat around the bush, but you seem
unwilling toe clean.”
Sophie’s straightforward approach left Perry flustered. He only nced at the document and
immediately knew what it contained, yet he still clung to a sliver of hope, “Sophie, what do you mean by
this?”
