Chapter 161

“She ganged up with Eric Finch, who made Miss Tessa drunk and tried to violate her.”

When Sophia heard Edward say this, her face turned pale, but Edward wasn’t finished yet. With

contempt in his eyes, he continued, “This kind of person deserves it even if they’re beaten to death.

Don’t you think so, Mr. Reinhart?” He paused for a second and chuckled sarcastically. “Oh, I’m sorry.

Before you even found out the truth, you already cracked open your own son’s head. It’s the first time

for me to see such a thing. Even a tiger doesn’t eat its own cubs, but it’s really an eye-opener for me

when I see how you treat him and your methods.”

Astonished, Silas quickly explained, “I-I was m-merely… caught up in anger for a moment. I can’t

possibly watch on as he beat Sophia to death, can I?”

“Fine, if that’s your explanation. But if Miss Tessa didn’t happen to run into President Sawyer tonight,

I’m afraid she would be ruined in the hands of your other daughter. At that time, will you be as

heartbroken as you are now? Or, do you actually not regard Miss Tessa and her brother as your

children?”

Every word he said was powerful, and Silas was dumbfounded. After being in a daze for a few

seconds, he turned to Sophia with an ashened face and asked, “Is it true what Mr. Jackson just said?”

Terrified, Sophia shook her head anxiously. “Dad, don’t you know what kind of person I am? Would you

rather believe an outsider than me? Listen to me: This matter isn’t what you think it is. I really didn’t

contact Young Master Finch or steal Timothy’s phone, nor did I try to harm Tessa. You have to believe

me!”

After hearing her out, Silas turned back to Edward and said, “You heard her, Mr. Jackson. My daughter

said she didn’t do it, and this is my family affairs, after all. So, I’ll get to the bottom of this.”

In other words, he meant to say that Edward was an outsider. No matter what, they would settle this

behind closed doors, and he shouldn’t be involved in this.

As for how it would be settled, that would be entirely up to Silas’ rules.

Edward sneered, “Family affairs? If I remember correctly, both Miss Tessa and her brother are no

longer members of this family. How can you say that this is a family affair, then?”

He was very sure that if he left Timothy here by himself, Silas, the incredibly biased man, would never

let him off that easily.

And the reason he was here was to make sure that Timothy was alright. Therefore, he couldn’t leave

just like that.

In addition, he had carried a dislike for this spineless Silas for a very long time and was very disgusted

with his blood-sucking ways.

“Well.”

Since Edward didn’t plan to leave the matter alone, Silas was caught in a dilemma, and he glared at

Timothy angrily. “It must have been troublesome for you to make this trip, Mr. Jackson. However, my

daughter already said that this incident has nothing to do with her, so how should I settle this, now that

she was beaten up for nothing?”

Seeing that Silas was covering Sophia adamantly, Edward decided not to be polite as well and said

indifferently, “Nothing to do with her? Tell me then, Sophia: How did five million end up in your bank

account? Do you dare to say that it wasn’t given to you by Eric Finch? Or are you going to say that it’s

the pocket money your father gave you? As far as I know, the Reinhart Group can no longer give you

that much money to spend anymore. Otherwise, is Mr. Reinhart still giving you special treatment? If

word of this gets out, you should know what the consequences are without me telling you, right? Oh,

by the way, I thought of an excuse for you: You have found a boyfriend now, and it’s understandable

that he gave you five million just to make you happy.”

Before Edward could go on, Sophia interjected furiously, “That’s nonsense! My father didn’t give me

that money, and neither do I have a boyfriend.”

Halfway through her sentence, Sophia stopped herself, and her face was a few shades whiter. I blurted

the wrong thing…

A smirk crept across Edward’s lips. “Since you admit it yourself that this money was given to you by

Eric Finch, then it’s kind of obvious whether you really sold off Miss Tessa. Silas, if you don’t even

regard them as your children, you should stop trying to make a benefit out of them.”
