Natasha held her head, frantic, and said hoarsely, “Stop talking! Stop talking!”
“Oh, I don’t want to talk to you,” Sophia said.
Natasha desperately covered her ears, but then she suddenly remembered something that she could taunt Sophia with.
“Even if I’m down and out, I’m still the Young Lady of the Mitchell Family. But what about you? You’re just Joe Edwards’ bastard!” Natasha jeered. “You are an illegitimate daughter that can’t be brought to light! You are a bastard who came to this world because your mother was r*ped!”
Sophia didn’t get angry when she heard what Natasha said. Instead, she chewed on her apples with relish before speaking, “Who told you that I was Joe Edwards’ daughter?”
She quietly said to the screen, “I will tell you this quietly; my father is not Joe Edwards. My father is the former family head of the Mitchell Family, Cooper Mitchell.”
Natasha was shocked. Cooper Mitchell’s daughter… Didn’t Cooper only have a son?
“You know him, right?” Sophia blinked and said. “He’s my father. I’m actually the true Young Lady of the Mitchell Family.”
“My father isn’t dead. Very soon, he will return to the Mitchell Family, and when he comes back, your father will have to step down as the family head!”
“That’s enough talk. I need to get busy with my work.”
She hung up the video call, and Natasha stared at the TV screen in a daze.
Sophia is actually Cooper Mitchell’s daughter?
The 60-inch big TV screen which overshadowed her gloomy face flickered to life again and started to broadcast news all related to Sandra Oak. To be more accurate, it was the news of Sandra Mitchell, the daughter of the Mitchell Family.
“SANDRA MITCHELL, THE YOUNG MISTRESS OF THE MITCHELL FAMILY, APPEARS AT THE MITCHELL FAMILY’S ANNUAL FAMILY MEETING, WEARING A DIAMOND RING WORTH TENS OF MILLIONS IN HER HAND. SHE HAS AN ELEGANT TEMPERAMENT.”
“SANDRA MITCHELL ADMITS THAT SHE LOVES THE YOUNG MASTER OF THE EDWARDS FAMILY. A MATCH BETWEEN A CAPABLE YOUNG MAN AND A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, TRULY AN ENVIABLE PAIR.”
“CHAIRMAN OF THE MITCHELL GROUP, ALEX MITCHELL, TRAVELS WITH HIS WIFE AND DAUGHTER. SANDRA MITCHELL’S BEAUTIFUL SWIMSUIT PHOTOS ARE EXPOSED.”
“NOT ONLY DOES SHE KNOW HOW TO SWIM. BUT SHE ALSO KNOWS HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO: THE YOUNG MISTRESS OF THE MITCHELL FAMILY GAINS RECOGNITION FROM A MASTER PIANIST FOR HER SKILL AT PLAYING THE PIANO. PRAISED FOR BEING ADEPT AT BOTH THE SWORD AND PEN.”
“ALEX MITCHELL GAVE SUPERSTAR SANDRA MITCHELL AN EXTRAVAGANT BANQUET TO WELCOME HER HOME. MANY FAMOUS STARS GATHERED IN THE UNPRECEDENTED GRAND OCCASION.”
…
News about Sandra Mitchell continued to appear one after the other. The proud and contented face that appeared from time to time kept tearing at Natasha’s heart.
That illegitimate child that wasn’t worth mentioning had stolen everything that belonged to her, and she was even strutting around acting all triumphant! But the sad thing was, her parents would rather acknowledge an illegitimate daughter for the sake of appearances!
And she, the true born daughter of the Mitchell Family, could only wait here and die!
She knew she couldn’t live anymore. Sophia was torturing herself deliberately, and she wanted her to suffer in hell and beg for death!
Death itself was not terrifying. What was terrifying was waiting for death to come.
When she was in the mountains, it was like she was in hell, but she still harbored hope in her heart. She knew that the Mitchell Family was powerful and they would find her soon, and she would be able to get out sooner or later. But now, she knew that no one would be coming to save her. She was deliberately scratched by Richard Harper, so there was a high chance that she was infected with AIDS as well.
Everything was already late. All she could do now was to lie down and wait for death every day, slowly dying in torment.
