“Mom, I can’t contain my anger anymore; I can’t handle it!” Sophia exclaimed, removing
the coat covering her head in anger as they sat in the car. In the rear–view mirror, she
caught a glimpse of her own face, looking particularly ridiculous.
Nora glanced at her and said, “There are still reporters outside; lower your voice.”
Earlier that day, Nora had rushed over to pick up Joseph from school after receiving a
hurried call from Sophia. The situation she encountered was even worse than she had
anticipated.
Fortunately, the reporters had already gathered enough material, including videos,
audios, and photos. They didn’t bother them much anymore.
Nora skillfully drove the car, bypassing a few persistent reporters, and took a shortcut
out of the park.
“Sophia, what happened to your face?” Joseph widened his eyes in surprise. “Did you
smear mud on it?”

Still angry, Sophia wasn’t very polite in her response. ‘Adults should speak without
children interrupting.”

Joseph, with his mischievous personality, immediately became unhappy. “Why are you
scolding me? Even my dad hasn’t scolded me that much. Who do you think you are
scolding me?”
“Alright, alright, you two are siblings; why are you arguing?” Nora said, her expression
not looking good as she drove.
While waiting at a red light, she glanced at her phone. Sure enough, there were
overwhelming news articles about Sophia, with various photos and videos appearing.
She directly threw her phone aside, her face slightly darkened.
“Mom, you don’t even know; today Sherry has completely changed, like a predator.”
“It means she has grown up, Nora said irritably. “Sherry, who used to be easily
manipulated, has learned to defend and attack. Only you are still stuck in the same
place.

Sophia sulked and sat in her seat, not saying a word.

“What, you’re still mad at me for what I said?” Nora didn’t give her a good look. “You
made your moves so poorly; I’m really amazed by you. After this news today, let’s see if
Malcolm still wants to marry you.”
“He has to marry me,” Sophia said. “The whole country now knows that he is going to
marry me. If he backs out now, it will be a complete betrayal.”
Nora sneered, “What do you think Malcolm is? He is the CEO of a company, after all. Do
you think his connections and scheming are weaker than yours? If it weren’t for David’s
return, Malcolm would have kicked you out of the Ford family long ago.”
“What should I do then?” Sophia began to throw a tantrum in frustration. “Mom, teach
me; what should I do?”
“Don’t rush me, I’m thinking. You’ve made such a mess for me; I have to clean it up first.”
Nora sighed and said, “For now, you should come back to the Wilson family. Don’t go to
the Ford family.”

Sophia shook her head and said, “No, once I move out, it will be difficult for me to go
back. I can’t leave, Mom.”

“Why are you still clinging there? Malcolm has already seen through your previous
kindness. He knows it was all a facade. If you appear in front of him now, you’ll only be
disliked. It’s better to stay low–key for the time being and find another way.”
Before returning to the Wilson family, Nora had Sophia touch up her makeup in the car.
After confirming that she had returned to her usual appearance, she pushed open the
car door and got out.
Joseph ran into the house, and David hugged him. “Hey, my son, you’re back from
school? Did anyone bully you at school?”
Joseph waved his hand confidently. “I’m the head of our class; who dares to bully me?”
“Great.
David kissed his face, but Joseph wiped it off with his hand. He said with disgust, “Dad.

your saliva got on my face.”
“Do you think I’m dirty?”
“This is personal hygiene, Dad, don’t you understand?”
David could only gently coax him: “Okay, okay, I don’t understand. I won’t do it anymore,
okay?”
Catching sight of the lost and dejected Sophia, David said, “Oh, Sophia is here too.”
Sophia smiled and called him “Dad.”
“Mhmm,” David’s smile faded from his face, and there he said meaningfully, “I just saw
you on TV.”
Sophia was slightly taken aback. “Ah…”
“Sophia,” David’s tone was somewhat solemn, “although you are not my biological
daughter, I still care about your well–being. But shouldn’t people also consider each

other? Shouldn’t you also think about me? Every time you appear on TV or in the news,
especially with such a big scandal this time, my friends and colleagues ask me if that
person on TV is my daughter. How am I supposed to respond? My reputation is ruined!
And what about Joseph? He’s still young. If someone at school mentions his sister’s
situation, how is he supposed to interact with his classmates?”
Sophia clearly did not expect today’s incident to provoke such a strong reaction from
David. She was momentarily taken aback and turned to look at Nora.
Nora was also a bit surprised, but she quickly concealed her surprise and greeted him
with a smile. “David, did something go wrong at work today?”
David replied irritably, “A few students came to see me this morning, and coincidentally,
the news was playing on TV. I’m afraid the whole industry is going crazy now.”
“No way,” Nora poured him a cup of tea attentively and gently persuaded him, “Today’s
incident was someone deliberately set up to frame Sophia. Sophia couldn’t help it.”
David wasn’t foolish either. “When you say ‘someone, are you referring to Sherry?”

Nora lowered her head and replied, “Not exactly. It’s the media that deliberately
sensationalizes news for the sake of headlines. Sherry is a kind–hearted girl. She must
feel very wronged after seeing those malicious reports, thinking that Sophia stole her
father. She must have developed some resentment.”
“Why does she have any resentment?” David slammed the table. “I’m not even sure if
I’m her biological father. What right does she have to be resentful? And why take it out
on Sophia? This is too much.”
“Exactly.” Nora noticed that David believed her and continued to say, “But David, please
don’t be angry. Sherry is not a bad person. I suspect that she didn’t receive a proper
education from her two uncles. You know what kind of people they are. They are only
concerned about money and lack morals. They have had a negative influence on
Sherry.”
David waved his hand, looking annoyed. “Okay, okay, there’s no need for you to defend
her. Here’s the plan: let’s schedule a time for Sherry to visit our house. She can voice all
her complaints at once, whether they’re about money or anything else. We’ll have a
transparent and sincere discussion to finally resolve this issue. By doing so, she won’t
