As the saying goes, don’t push a desperate person. Sherry fell silent and sat quietly,
observing the doctor as he treated the wounds on Joseph’s face.
She chose not to push further and remained calm, which finally put David’s mind at
ease.
Nora suffered the loss in silence, but David gently placed his hand on her shoulder,
reminding her not to cause a scene in public. She had no choice but to suppress her
anger.
“The family of Joseph…” A nearby nurse called out loudly.
David glanced at Nora with a deep gaze, seemingly warning her, then turned his head
and responded, “I am Joseph’s father.”
“Oh, the child needs to use the bathroom. Take him there first.”
Alright, alright. Can I ask if the treatment for this injury is considered complete?”

“The emergency measures were done very well and in a timely manner, so it saved us a
lot of effort. The child may still feel some pain, but there is no major harm. Just give
him some anti–inflammatory medicine, and he will be fine after a while.”
David was overjoyed. “Thank you, nurse.”
“No need to thank me. This is what medical staff should do. If you want to thank
someone, you should thank the person who helped with the emergency treatment for
the child.”
David nodded repeatedly, “I will.”
Joseph no longer displayed his former arrogant demeanor. He obediently followed
David to the restroom, tears streaming down his face.
“Ms. Wilson, you really surprised me,” Nora said from the side. “If your mother had half
of your intelligence, she wouldn’t have died so early.”
Sherry felt a pang in her heart. “No one is born with cunning and scheming. Mrs.
Wilson, you are the same. If it weren’t for your deliberate plan to marry David, with your

temperament, how could you have endured being submissive for over twenty years?”

Nora sneered, her eyes filled with disdain. “Are you suggesting that we are
fundamentally the same kind of people?”
“No, we are not the same kind of people at all. You can do whatever it takes to achieve
your goals, while I only target my enemies and won’t blame others. I would even go out
of my way to save them, like Joseph. Today, I could have just let him suffer and ruin his
life completely.”
“Is that so? Should I be grateful for your great kindness then?”
Sherry chuckled lightly. “I can’t handle your gratitude. Who knows if you will backstab
me all of a sudden?”
The tension between the two had reached its peak, but they were both putting on a
good show in front of David. They took turns performing, just like more than twenty
years ago when Nora put on a good show, and today it was Sherry’s turn to

On the way back, they sat in the same seats as before, with Sherry in the front
passenger seat and Nora holding Joseph in the back.
David drove, his expression somewhat complicated.
The events of today had alerted David, and only now did he realize that his
stepdaughter had such sinister intentions.

“David, let me accompany Joseph for the next few days until he falls asleep. He’s still
so young, and today’s events must have really scared him.”
David glanced at her through the rear–view mirror, remaining silent. Usually, when David
didn’t respond to her words, it meant that he was angry. And he was not just a little
angry.
“Let Sophia move out tomorrow,” he said.
Nora was taken aback. “Move out tomorrow? Why so sudden?”
le it sudden?” David’s face darkened. ‘Showing up in Ms Wilson’s room in the middle

continue to shelter a stepdaughter like that, fearing that one day there will be a loss of
life in my house.”
Nora’s face turned pale. In her mind, she cursed Sophia ten thousand times. Why did
this brainless girl have to take matters into her own hands? It could have been easily
solved by spending some money to hire a thug outside, but she had to do it at home!
“David, Sophia must be feeling anxious too. She loved Malcolm for so long, and just
when they were about to get married, he abandoned her. It’s hard for her to bear!”
“She was abandoned?” David tightened his grip on the steering wheel. “It’s true that
Malcolm is someone who changes partners quickly, but he clearly abandoned his
rightful wife. I didn’t say anything before, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t understand.
Malcolm and Sherry have been married for four years. When did Sophia get involved
with Malcolm? As soon as Malcolm separated from Sherry, he announced that he would marry Sophia. Don’t tell me Sophia didn’t know he was already married. Can she
not recognize her own cousin’s husband?”
That’s how people’s hearts were. Once they started to doubt, they would think further,

and it wouldn’t stop there.

He also had doubts about Sophia at this moment. When they first met, he treated her
as a little girl, his wife’s child. Although she wasn’t related to him, he had heard that she
had a tough life over the years. As a stepfather, elder, and someone reputable, he had to
maintain a reputation of “treating younger generations well” in society. So he had
always taken care of Sophia.
But recently, a series of events made him gradually realize that his stepdaughter had a
violent personality and a lack of intelligence. It was likely that she would cause trouble
in the future, which would be greatly detrimental to his reputation.
In addition, she had just used sulfuric acid to harm his beloved son, whether
intentionally or unintentionally. This harm was real, and he couldn’t suppress his anger.
“Nora, in the future, you should also have less contact with Sophia. This child may have
the Jimenez family’s genes in her. The people in the Jimenez family are a bit crazy.
Alice was like that in the past, and her brother is not much better. Sophia’s biological
father is still alive, so let her have more contact with her biological father.

His statement sounded like he was driving Sophia away. He wanted to completely
sever ties with Sophia.
Sherry listened quietly on the side, not saying a word.
Her expertise lay in maintaining silence and striking at the opportune moment. This
skill had been imparted to her by Mr. Sniper, and she should
be as instinctive as a
hunter.

Engaging in fights and brawls would not resolve the issue. The predator directly attacks
the neck of their prey.
“David…”
“Enough, stop talking. I have made my decision and will not change it.” David
impatiently interrupted all of Nora’s pleas.
“But where will Sophia, a young girl, go? She is pregnant, so at least give her some time.
to find a place to stay right?”

At that moment, Sherry interjected, “Uncle Noah’s original house has remained vacant
all this while. Since Sophia is his daughter, it is only appropriate for her to inherit her
uncle’s house and relocate there.”
