She even drugged her own son just to help Sophie. She really did like Sophie and had always hoped they would end up together. After all, they weren’t actually blood relatives.
But Conrad never saw Sophie that way. He would rather suffer in silence than be with her.
After that, Annette finally understood where her son stood, and she stopped trying to force the issue. Every time she pushed, it only led to arguments and made the distance between them grow.
Now, Conrad had someone else he was completely in love with. As his mother, how could she not want him to be happy? Of course she would give them her blessing.
Besides, Wiona was a genuinely good person. And after everything that had happened today, for Sophie to still be saying these things... Annette couldn’t help but feel completely disappointed.
She yanked her hand out of Sophie’s grasp.
“So you’re still not going to admit it?” Her voice shook with anger. “You’re really going to pretend none of this was your doing, that you and Amaya didn’t plan all of it together? Sophie, don’t bother denying it. Twenty years—I’ve known you for twenty years. And I heard what you said to her in the basement. Wiona did too. Sure, you didn’t leave any proof, but do you think I can just ignore everything I heard? You’re still trying to lie to me. I can’t believe you.”
Annette’s anger boiled over. She stood up and slapped Sophie hard across the face.
“How did you become such a cruel girl?”
