Chapter 1164: If you don’t choose the path to life, you are leading him to the path of death.
Sophie’s face, which had been filled with anger, collapsed the mont lody Baker ntioned that topic, and turned into a look of panic.
“Uncle Forest is now detained and can’t be released on bail. Even if he could be, we’d risk exposing ourselves by making a move.”
Sophie’s brow furrowed, “We can’t go to visit him either. As soon as we get in touch with Uncle Forest, Adam will definitely get the news.”
This was what lody Baker was afraid of.
Now, the only hope was that Benjamin Forest wouldn’t betray them, mother and daughter.
After all, they had only been pawns in the whole affair.
lody Baker comforted herself with this thought.
“No! Mom, we must et Uncle Forest and make it clear to him that he can’t sell us out.”
A sinister look flashed through Sophie’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.
“Mom, Uncle Forest is just Ian Foster’s subordinate, he only acts on orders from Ian. If he testifies against Ian to reduce his sentence, he won’t serve long.”
“As long as we do well, when he gets out, we can take care of him. He won’t be unable to survive in society, but if we fall, it’s going to be even harder for him when he gets out.”
“If we pass this ssage to him, he definitely won’t betray us.”
As long as Benjamin Forest wasn’t foolish, he would know what outco was best for him.
lody Baker’s face showed a trace of difficulty, “Even if we could see Benjamin Forest, would he really agree?”
Hearing lody Baker’s concerns, Sophie suddenly smirked darkly, saying:
“If he doesn’t want a way out we offer, then we’ll give him a dead end.”
lody Baker was startled by Sophie’s words, especially by the glimpse of cold ruthlessness that had surged up, as if she had been possessed by a demon, and it made her shudder.
“Sophie, have you lost your mind! Do you realize what you’re saying?”
lody Baker went straight up to Sophie and slapped her.
She, who was always scheming and aspired to rise above others, crushing everyone who looked down on her, had never thought of killing.
Had her daughter gone crazy?
Sophie, after being slapped by lody Baker, wasn’t even angry.
Just as lody Baker said, she had truly gone mad.
From childhood to adulthood, she had lived in Elly Campbell’s shadow, growing up by comparison.
She had always dread that one day she would surpass Elly Campbell, beat her down, and make her crawl at her feet, begging like a dog.
But every ti, just as she was about to succeed, reality cruelly knocked her back down. How could she accept that?
“Yes, I’ve gone mad. What other choice do I have?”
Sophie, covering her face, looked at lody Baker and coldly laughed:
“Mom, we’ve been enduring for over twenty years. You’re still the unrecognized mistress, and I’ll forever be the illegitimate daughter who can’t show her face. Do you know why?”
Sophie’s gaze beca sharp and aggressive—
“Because of Elly Campbell and her mother. Even though Jenna Clark divorced Dad, as long as she’s around, people will rember she was Dad’s first wife, and you are just a lowly mistress trying to rise. No one will truly recognize you as Mrs. Campbell.”
“It’s the sa with . The only Campbell Family heiress acknowledged by outsiders is Elly Campbell. No matter how Adam treats Elly, people won’t look up to . I’m either the illegitimate daughter or the mistress’s child, forever crushed under Elly Campbell’s feet.”
