Faced with Sonia's interrogation, Julia parted her lips, but nothing slipped out of her tongue.
Nonetheless, Sonia didn't let her go just like that. Instead, she approached her step by step and questioned, "Your adopted daughter, on the other hand, deliberately pretended to be me, made me suffer six years of humiliation, and then repeatedly threatened to kill me. I would consider myself fortunate to survive after all that, or I would have died long ago. Mrs. Gray, please answer me. Isn't your family being too cruel to me and my family?"
"I… I…" Julia's face turned pale as she stuttered, unable to form a coherent sentence.
Truth was, she was not someone who had no morals.
In fact, she did.
She was well aware that in comparison, the Grays committed the biggest fault. It was their family who wronged the Reeds in the first place. She knew how merciless her husband and adopted daughter were.
Nevertheless, she was a member of the Grays, so despite knowing that her husband and adopted daughter were wrong, she could only stand by their side.
As she was currently faced with Sonia's interrogation, she couldn't bring herself to defend her family. Moreover, she felt inexplicably ashamed in her heart.
That realization shocked her.
She was surprised that she would feel guilty toward the brat standing before her.
Julia figured that she might have gone insane.
Just then, the sound of heels stepping on the ground echoed through the hall.
"Mom!" Seeing her mom sitting on the bench, Tina called out to her.
Soon, she noticed Sonia standing opposite her mother, and her expression instantly darkened.
Why were they together?
What were they talking about?
Afraid that her secret might be exposed, she hurriedly went over. "Mom."
"Hey, Tina." Noticing her daughter, Julia quickly wiped off her tears and forced a smile. "Why did you arrive so late?"
"There was a traffic jam on the road, so I came late," Tina said and handed over the bag in her hand. "I brought you some food. Have some."
"Okay." Julia took the bag.
Then, Tina glanced at Sonia.
She deliberately walked in front of Sonia. Since her heels made her appear taller than the latter, she completely blocked Sonia's line of sight. Since Sonia was not facing Julia directly anymore, Tina felt relieved.
"Hello, Miss Reed." Looking at Sonia, Tina forced a smile and greeted her.
Sonia glanced at her indifferently. "You don't have to smile if you don't want to. No one is forcing you."
Being unceremoniously exposed by Sonia, Tina instantly pulled an embarrassed expression.
Nevertheless, growing up with the Grays taught her many things, one was being good at controlling her expressions.
Soon, Tina collected herself and presented her usual expression while brushing her hair behind her ear before apologizing, "I'm sorry for making you feel uneasy due to my expression earlier, Miss Reed."
Sonia rolled her eyes and didn't bother to pay her any attention. With that, she turned around to leave.
However, Tina stopped her. "Why are you in the hospital? I heard that you went abroad with President Fuller."
A dark light flashed in Sonia's eyes as she stopped, turned her head, and countered, "Can't I come back after leaving the country? Something came up, so I came back first. Besides, I'm not used to the food abroad, so I haven't been feeling so well. I stopped by the hospital to get checked. Is there something wrong with that?"
"Of course not." Tina smiled. "But you're in the nephrology department. You shouldn't be here if you're getting a checkup."
