Chapter 107
Nora’s revelation caught Sophia off guard.
She knew that Sherry was already involved with another man and was carrying his
child.
Last time, when Sophia needed a blood transfusion, Sherry offered to donate blood.
However, it turned out that Sherry was also pregnant, so the blood donation was
canceled.
But…
“No, Mom,” Sophia shook her head, “the man she’s with is a wanted criminal who is too
afraid to show his face. Violet has mentioned it several times, and he’s definitely not
some famous or noble person.”
Nora was a little surprised to hear this. “He doesn’t dare to show his face.”
“Yes,” Sophia said, “that man rarely appears. He came once on the day of my accident,
and both Violet and Malcolm saw him. He wore a white mask the whole time and didn’t

dare to reveal his true identity. If he were a wealthy person, Sherry would probably want
him to show off his true identity.”
Nora pondered for a moment, and what Sophia said made sense. If the man was.
powerful and influential, then Sherry wouldn’t be so secretive about his identity,
especially now that she was pregnant with his child.
Nora contemplated. “There are two possibilities.”
Sophia couldn’t wait and asked, “What are the two possibilities?”
“Either this person is indeed, as you said, someone with a disgraceful identity, a wanted.
criminal, or there may be some other reason. If he reveals himself, it will bring countless
troubles, so he must conceal his face. Or, he simply doesn’t want Sherry to know his
true identity.”
Although Sophia was a bit slow, she could still comprehend her words.
In modern society, with advanced technology, it is unrealistic for a wanted criminal to
remain in hiding for a long time. Therefore, the second possibility was most likely the
truth.

Sophia suddenly felt relieved. “So, it means that this man probably just used Sherry to
have a child, and once the child is born, he will abandon her. She won’t even know who
to turn to!”
“It’s not impossible.” Nora was still worried. ‘Sophia, I don’t know why, but I feel that this
man will disrupt our future plans.”
Sophia shrugged. “Mom, did you attend some mystical classes again? It’s better to talk
about science.”
“No, it’s just a feeling. I can’t explain it, but I have this sense that this man is dangerous.
He could become an obstacle for us on our path forward.”
Nora’s words made Sophia’s heart skip a beat. Sophia had an inexplicable trust and
admiration for her mother. When they were still abroad, it was her mother who gave her
advice and guided her step by step in executing a meticulous plan. It was thanks to her
mother’s guidance that they successfully removed Sherry from Mrs. Ford’s position.
Sophia believed every word her mother said.
Mom should we hire someone to investigate that man?”
Nora replied, “Don’t get involved in this matter. Let me handle it. You will soon be Mrs.
Ford, and you must not make any mistakes. Once you drive Sherry out of the Ford
family, there will naturally be many women waiting to take your place. So, you must be
cautious in your words and actions. There can be no room for error.”
Sophia could only nod. “I understand, Mom. I will be careful.”
“And also, regarding the child in your belly, you must insist that it is Malcolm’s, even if he
threatens you. Do you understand?”
“I understand… but Mom, once the child is born, there will be a paternity test. What if
the child is not his? Won’t everything be exposed?”
Nora remained composed. “It won’t be exposed. Regardless of whose child it is,
Malcolm must acknowledge it. Ms. Gianna is at the hospital, and she can take care of
things. If necessary, we can give her more money. She can handle the paternity test.”
Sophia finally felt relieved and let out a long sigh. “Mom, it’s really great that you’re

back. I feel so much more confident with you here!”
“I only have one daughter. How could I not dote on you?”
“But you also have Joseph!”
Nora’s smile became somewhat forced. “Joseph? Ha ha, boys forget their mothers
once they get married. Daughters are more reliable.”
Sophia didn’t notice the slight change in her mother’s expression. She only felt that
Nora favored her more than Joseph. She had the urge to cry. “Mom, I will definitely
make you proud and be a filial daughter.”

Nora smiled. “Good. By the way, you saw Sherry just now. Where was Joseph? Wasn’t
she playing with him?”
Speaking of this, Sophia didn’t really pay much attention. She was just thinking about
her own things and completely forgetting about her younger brother. It was only after
Nora reminded her that she remembered, “Oh right, Sherry said she went into the
haunted house to find Joseph.”

“Yes, it seems that Joseph insisted on going to the haunted house, and she had no
choice but to accompany him. As a result, Joseph got scared by the staff and ran away,
and they got separated. Mom, Joseph is still my younger brother after all. Should I go in
and look for him again?”
Nora waved her hand, not looking too worried. “No need; you just sit here and rest. If
Sherry loses Joseph, someone will naturally take care of her. We can just watch from
the sidelines. Oh, and remember, in front of David, you must be a loving older sister to
Joseph, understand?”
Sophia didn’t understand why, although she had never met Joseph, he was still her own
blood brother and she would naturally care for him. She didn’t quite understand why
Nora specifically instructed her to do this, but she nodded, indicating that she
understood.
“Mom, should we find another place to rest or go back to Dad’s place?”
“We’ll go back later. If we go back too early, he will blame us for not taking good care of
Joseph. If we go back a little later, we can say that we have searched the entire park:
We have done what a mother and sister should do. David won’t blame us, and all the
anger will be directed at Sherry.”
After listening to her words, Sophia could only express her current sentiment as
admiration. “Mom, if you had been born in ancient times, you would undoubtedly be the
best strategist in war!”
Norá chuckled and reprimanded, “If only I possessed such wisdom. Just ensure that
you’re capable of achieving what you want.”
“Don’t fret, Mom. At least there are no issues with the child in my womb. I will certainly
secure Mrs. Ford’s position.”
