How could someone with such favorable economic and personal conditions have such
a troubled past?
Sherry was taken aback and asked, “Is it… because of the scars on your face?”
“Sherry, I am a man.
Η
“What about men?
“For men, having a handsome face can never compare to the usefulness of their
abilities.”
Sherry felt like she had heard him say this before.
She nodded and said, “Your abilities are really strong now.”
I know Mr. Sniper seemed to have something more to say: “Since I met you, I told
I must become stronger. Suicide is the option for losers; most succeed!

Sophia had been staying at the Wilson residence for the past few days.

Restlessly, she sat on the sofa in the living room, flipping through channels on the TV
with the remote control. She changed over a hundred channels repeatedly.
Malcolm announced the cancellation of the wedding; he actually did it!
Sophia felt a sense of powerlessness; she thought that she was so close to achieving
her dreams, yet everything was in vain now.
Today was the weekend, and Joseph didn’t go to school. He was jumping on the sofa
and dining table, with a basketball flying past her eyes from time to time. Several times,
she was scared and quickly protected her stomach, afraid that Joseph’s aim would hit
her belly.
The only thing she had to turn the tables on now was the child in her belly. She couldn’t
afford any more mistakes.
More sat on the side, peeling walnuts for Joseph to eat. Joseph, come over Walnuts

are good for the brain. You should eat more so that you can be as capable as your
father in the future.”

Joseph was sweating from running around in the living room. Suddenly, the basketball
flew toward Sophia and hit right next to her hand. It was just a little bit away from
hitting her.
Sophia exclaimed in fear, drenched in cold sweat. She said with dissatisfaction, “Mom,
can you please control Joseph? He’s too mischievous.”
“Boys are mischievous. How can little boys be quiet?” David happened to come out of
the study upstairs and heard Sophia’s words. He looked unhappy. “He didn’t hit you, did
he?”
Sophia took a deep breath, feeling extremely irritated. Recently, David had not been in a
good mood either. He had sweet–talked her, saying that she should treat this place as
her own home and him as her biological father. But whenever the topic of Joseph came
up, he would still be biased toward his own biological son.

“Yeah,” David replied absentmindedly, asking, “Did Malcolm call?”

Nora replied, “No, he hasn’t. He must be busy with work. Young people nowadays have.
a lot of work pressure, especially as the CEO of a company. Recently, there have been
issues with the shopping mall project, so he must be extremely busy.”
Upon hearing this, David’s expression worsened. “I have to say, young people nowadays
are completely different from our generation! It was a good project. We agreed that as
long as I joined Ford Real Estate, I would be the chief designer. But now, things have
gone wrong, and I, as the chief designer, have become an empty promise. Many people
in the industry are laughing at me. Malcolm, on the other hand, used me and then
discarded me. Not only did he not come to apologize, he didn’t even make a phone call.
Is this how a younger person should behave toward their elders?”
“David, don’t be angry. Come and have some walnuts. I spent the whole morning
peeling them,” Nora offered.
David immediately declined: “I don’t have the mood to eat. Also, Malcolm has canceled
the wedding. What is he thinking? If he really doesn’t want to marry Sophia, then we
should just cut ties with him.”

“No, Dad, I must marry Malcolm!” Sophia urgently said, “I’m already pregnant with his
child. If I don’t marry him, who else can I marry? I… I will go and talk to him.”
David glanced at her and said, “Sophia, I’m not scolding you, but as a young girl, you
should be more reserved. You’re not even married yet, and you’re already pregnant.
Insisting on marrying him like this, what’s so good about Malcolm?”
Sophia was about to speak, but Nora quickly pulled her and shook her head, signaling
her not to argue with David.

“David, young people’s relationships are bound to have ups and downs. It’s just some
small quarrels. Maybe they’ll make up in a few days. As parents, don’t we hope that our
children can be with the person they love? Weren’t we together because we liked each
other?”
Nora’s words barely calmed David down, but he still had his bottom line. “This is the
Wilson family. It’s Sophia’s home; she can come back to live without any problem.
However, Joseph is the only boy in the Wilson family and the young master of the
house. He can do whatever he wants in this house. What’s wrong with him playing basketball in the living room for a while? It’s such a sunny day outside; do you want him

to go out and play? What if he gets sunburned or gets heatstroke? Since we live here,
we have to abide by the rules of the young master of the house. How can the guests
find fault with the master? Whose house is this after all?”
“Alright, alright, Sophia was just anxious for a moment. David, calm down.”
Nora patted David’s chest, helping him calm down.

Sophia’s eyes turned red with anger, but Nora gave her a meaningful look, so she could
only endure it and let Joseph play basketball like a shuttlecock, flying around in the air.
Sophia’s phone rang. She picked up her phone and walked outside. “I’ll answer a call.”
The atmosphere inside was too oppressive, and she felt so uncomfortable that she
wanted to escape.
“Hello?”

Sophia frowned and confirmed the caller ID several times. She was surprised and
angry. “Sherry? Are you crazy? Do you want to see me?”

“Yes.” Sherry’s voice was calm and indifferent. “You better come over; this is your only
chance.”
“Are you using the speakerphone again? Is Malcolm with you?”
Sherry sneered, “I’m not as foolish as you. I cannot employ the same tactic repeatedly.”
“What are you planning to do? Last time, you vowed never to see me or Malcolm again?”
Sherry replied, “Do you still intend to marry Malcolm?”
“I won’t divorce, so what can you do?”
Sophia questioned, “What do you mean?”
Let’s discuss the terms; Sherry said. “I may consent to a divorce, but you won’t just
drive me away I must reclaim what is rightfully mine.”

She wasn’t concerned about Sophia not showing up. On the contrary, Sophia was eager
for her to divorce Malcolm as soon as possible.
Sherry sent a text message to Malcolm, providing him with the details of the time and
location, and then switched off her phone.
