“I went for aesthetic cosmetology tonight. Dr. McAslister gave me a jab. He said the jab will make me

more relaxed. It should be more effective than the ones I used before.”

Sophia covered her head with her hands. Her eyes were filled with worry and panic.

She continued, “After I took the jab, my body felt light and relaxed. Then, I fell asleep. But, when I woke

up,

Dr. McAlister asked, ‘Who is Anne?””

Betty gasped. Goosebumps filled her entire body.

“Mom … W-What did you say? Dr. McAlister is in no business to know. How could you …”

Betty knew the actual reason for Jasper’s mother’s death back then.

On some level, Sophia was the culprit who had caused Anne to take her life.

However, it had been executed with meticulousness. Sophia had bribed the maid who took care of

Anne. The maid then swapped her medication for depression. She even asked Liana and Betty to

spread rumors.

As a result, Anne’s condition worsened. She couldn’t stand the physical and mental torture and leaped

off a building.

Her hands might not have been tainted with blood, but she singlehandedly eliminated her love rival.

This incident was the proudest achievement in Sophia’s life. Yet, she could never toot her horn about it

to other people.

“I don’t know. I don’t know how much I’ve said. I don’t know what I’ve told him.”

Sophia’s eyes were losing focus. Her voice trembled as she continued, “But Dr. McAlister swore he

would keep what he heard a secret. He would not tell a single soul.”

“Mom, how could you be so foolish? Dr. McAlister is not your son. What if he let loose his words? What

if he uses this against you?”

Betty had gone pale from the shock. What left her mortified was the medication Sophia had taken.

Did she take a truth serum? How could she blurt out her deepest and darkest secrets while she was

unconscious?

At this moment, Betty heard a faint noise.

Her heart skipped a beat as she looked toward the direction of the bedroom. Then, s

When she reached the door, she swung it open with much force.

However, the room was empty, not even a shadow in sight.

Betty let out a long sigh. Her head was wet with sweat.

What Sophia had mentioned was something very severe. If anyone had heard them, they were

doomed.

“There’s no way. He is on my side. He won’t betray me.” Sophia shook her head profusely. Yet, she

needed

more than that to convince herself of what she herself had said.

What was she supposed to do? She couldn’t leave Tristan McAlister.

Her mind and body were entirely at this man’s mercy.

“Mom, I’m your daughter. I won’t hurt you. Please listen to me.”

Betty sat beside Sophia. She held her mother’s icy hand tightly as she advised, “You should distance

yourself from Dr. McAlister. I think he harbors ill intentions toward you.

“Plus, everyone who knows about the secret to Jasper’s mother’s death has to carry it to their graves.

long as he stays alive, he is a death threat to you.”

“It won’t happen. It had been almost 20 years since the incident. The evidence is long gone.”

Sophia shuddered as she felt a cold breeze on her back. She quickly snuggled into Betty’s embrace.”

Unless that bitch, Anne, comes back from the dead to accuse me. Otherwise, no one knows how that

bitch, Anne died back then!”

“What do you mean no one? How about Liana?”

“Pfft, she’s nothing! She is a chess piece that is no longer useful. If she wants to come back to Solana

City, she had better sew her mouth shut.”

Sophia had regained her composure by this point, employing reason to reclaim her stance. “Oh, yes.

You do have someone keeping an eye on the maid I bribed who served Anne, don’t you?”

“Yes, she is far away in Rolanda. She opened a small restaurant there. She had benefited from us. I’m

sure

she will bury the secret with her.“

The look in Betty’s eyes was grim.

She might have harbored hatred for Sophia, but she knew better than to rock the boat while she was

Sophia calmed down and allowed Betty to help her back to her room.

As they left the room, a gap at the wardrobe door in the bedroom shakily opened.
