“All you see is me backing Nina up, but do you even know what she’s done for your brother? You’re still a kid, but instead of learning anything good, you just hang around Claire and pick up all her manipulative crap,” she said.
Grace gave Sophia a cold stare. “You don’t want Nina as your sister-in-law? Fine! Let me spell it out for you: Ryan’s wife is Nina, and that’s final.”
‘If you’re so desperate for Claire to be your sister-in-law, then join the Goodwin family. Go be their daughter, see how you like it. That way, you won’t have to keep pining for Claire, you two can just be sisters for real!” she added
Sophia burst into tears, sobbing, “Seriously, what did Nina do to you guys? Has she brainwashed everyone? Why is it always her that you all side with?”
“This is the last time I’m warning you,” Grace said icily. “If you ever spout off like this in front of us again, you’re out of here. I’m dead serious.” Grace said.
Grace didn’t even bother with Sophia anymore. She turned to Charles and said, “Let’s go get things moving.”
Charles shot Sophia a look, but didn’t bother saying anything.
He thought, ‘This girl’s been spoiled rotten. She’s got no sense at all, lets people play her for a fool, and still calls them her
sisters.
‘It’s about time she learned a thing or two. he thought to himself
After Charles and Grace left, Sophia turned to Zachary and Maria. “Grandpa, Grandma.”
Without a word to Sophia, Maria got up and said to Zachary, “Let’s go to the prayer room and pray for Nina and Ryan’s safety.”
Zachary agreed, and the two of them helped each other to the prayer room.
They didn’t even look at Sophia.
Sophia was seething.
But thinking back on how she barged in just now, she did feel a bit guilty.
Sure, she didn’t like Nina, but it’s not like she ever wished for her to die.
It was just that Claire had said that if Nina was out of the picture, she could finally marry Ryan.
Honestly, she was just excited for Claire.
‘Seriously, it’s not like I’m happy just because something happened to Nina!’ Sophia thought to herself.
But her grandparents and parents went off on her before she could even get a word in.
Sophia couldn’t help but feel wronged.
Sophia sighed. ‘Whatever. With Nina’s life hanging in the balance, I guess I shouldn’t make a fuss.’
At the end of the day, Nina was someone Ryan cared about. Sophia found herself hoping Nina would pull through.
Deep in the heart of a forest in Betrico, there stood a house so lavishly decorated that it.
When Nina opened her eyes, she immediately started sizing up her surroundings.

Chapter 456
@
Even though she’d spent years living in the countryside with Scalet, she wasn’t some country bumpkin
She’d seen plenty of fancy houses before, but this one….
Luxury doesn’t even begin to describe this place,
It was nothing short of a palace.
Like the kind of palace a king would have lived in centuries ago lecadent beyond belief.
After taking in her surroundings, Nina sat quietly in a chair, waig
The people who brought her here hadn’t bothered to tie her up hey just dumped her in the room and didn’t pay her any further attention.
She only came to after they’d left the room.
Truth was, she hadn’t passed out at all.
She’d let herself get caught on purpose, all to figure out who was really orchestrating everything behind the scenes,
Footsteps echoed outside the door.
Then the door swung open, and an old man in a Clusian-style st stepped inside.
The old man glanced at Nina sitting calmly in the chair and chuckled. “I knew someone as capable as you wouldn’t get caught so easily. Looks like I was right, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
