William looked at Sophia, who was lying on bed, and had mixed feelings. He wanted to come back and divorce her, and then give his son a proper social status. But now that Sophia was in this state, he could not say anything.
"How long will she last like this?" William asked the doctor. Sophia's face was now pale, without a trace of life. Without knowing that she was alive, people would probably all think she was dead. Even her face, which did not look too bad before, was now unattractive.
"I don't know, maybe a year, maybe a lifetime." The doctor shook his head. No one could give a definite answer based on the current situation.
"Based on surveillance footage, she ingested the poison herself. The poison was for poisoning rats. I didn't expect her to take such drastic measures," Hilary told William what she heard.
William sighed. "Maybe this is fate. She deserved it. It's a pity that my child won't get social status for a long time." William was not very worried about Sophia. He was worried about his new lover and his son.
Hilary could only glance at William. He was her brother, so she did not know what to say. She suddenly felt bad for Sophia.
William did not stay long after he came back. After Jacob became the President of HD Group, he took advantage of his powers to take care of William's issues, so no one mentioned what happened with William anymore.
However, he had become accustomed to staying abroad with no one there looking down on him. He had already transferred his shares to Jacob so Jacob could defeat Richard and become the boss of the HD Group. The agreement at that time required Jacob to take care of William's issues after becoming the President.
When William came back this time, he neither returned to the Carter family's old house nor met with Richard or Cathy. He only met Jacob once and then visited his mother, Addy. Since he could not divorce Sophia, he did not stay any longer.
"Richard, I want to see Allen," Hilary said.
"No, you can't go see him, Hilary, you can leave. You are not welcomed here. Go back to the old house." Richard did not care about Hilary's feelings or reputation in front of his subordinates.
"Richard, how could you do this? Are you doing this to me for the sake of that woman? I'm your sister. Don't you think you are crossing the line?" Hilary cried in the house.
"You know best what you have done. Don't make me talk to you any further. As your older brother, I've let you in, but my children and my wife cannot forgive you. Leave before I change my mind. Get out!" Richard pushed Hilary out.
Hilary ran out crying. She was aggrieved when she left, so she called Allison.
"Allison, where are you? I'm coming to find you."
Jacob's investment project had already begun operations under the strong request of him and his men. It performed well and generated considerable earnings initially.
