Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59

Finally, she leaned in close, her lips curling into a vicious smile. “Tell me, if your mother could see what a pathetic wreck you’ve become, do you think she’d be angry enough to crawl right out of her grave?”

The string of venomous words, combined with that twisted expression so different from her usual facade, was utterly shocking.

Especially that line-“your mother couldn’t compete with my mom”–which essentially confirmed the rumors about Rhea being the other woman.

Only after she finished speaking did she notice Sophia’s trembling hand rising to slap her.

The broadcast then cut to field reporting.

Two key witnesses appeared on screen, their faces heavily pixelated and voices digitally altered.

But their identities were clearly labeled: Walter, former driver at the Anderson Manor, and Bennett, former kitchen assistant at the Anderson Manor.

Both had worked at the Anderson Manor for over fifteen years. 1/6

Their testimonies were calm and measured, and they stated their willingness to accept legal responsibility for their words.

These two witnesses confirmed that the version circulating online was taken completely out of context.

The truth was that Isabelle had repeatedly provoked Sophia, using her dead mother against her, hurling insults and physically blocking her from leaving. Sophia only hit her because she was devastated and furious.

As their account unfolded, a much older and more disturbing chapter of the Anderson history was revealed:

Shortly after Michael Anderson’s first wife, Elaine, passed away -her body barely cold-current wife Rhea moved in with her daughter Isabelle.

Isabelle was already six years old when she moved in, which meant Michael had been having an affair while Elaine was still alive.

Eight-year-old Sophia, having lost her mother at such a young age, hadn’t even begun to heal from her grief when she was forced to face a new stepmother and stepsister.

In that household, she was constantly taught to defer to her younger sister.

Whatever toys or things her sister wanted, Sophia couldn’t compete for or claim.

Michael poured all his affection and attention onto Isabelle, growing increasingly cold toward his elder daughter.

Sophia endured this life until she finished elementary school.

Later, when Rhea failed to produce a son, Michael finally considered developing Sophia’s potential and sent her to study

in France.

Sophia’s guardian during her time in France was Julian Hall, the third son of the Hall family.

Michael simply wired money to Julian’s account year after rarely concerning himself with his daughter’s situation.

The two longtime servants spoke plainly and without embellishment, yet their specific details and clear timeline made their testimony incredibly credible.

At this point, Bella’s voice came through clearly:

“In addition to security footage and witness testimony, we have an audio recording provided by one of the parties involved. Please note, the following content may be disturbing.”

The director switched audio tracks, and a private conversation15

began to play:

Isabelle’s venomous voice spoke first, each word like a poisoned needle:

“Sophia, why aren’t you dead yet?”

Just that opening line sent shockwaves through countless

viewers.

The recording continued, with Sophia’s angry questioning:

“Isabelle, it was you who ordered Frank to cut off my water and food, trying to let me die, wasn’t it? And Snowball-my mother’s cat-you killed him too, didn’t you?”

Isabelle’s response carried a chilling lightness:

“So what if it was me? I didn’t just kill that annoying little cat-I specifically told Frank to take extra good ‘care’ of you.

“What a shame you have nine lives. Dorothy had to go and save you. That meddling Dorothy-she’ll never set foot in my house again.”

She paused, her voice dripping with boastful madness:

“Oh, and those news stories online, all those comments cursing you out-you saw them all, didn’t you? Enjoying yourself? 14:15

Didn’t you want peace and quiet? Well, I won’t let you have it!

“I want the whole world to despise you, to curse you! Do you know how thrilled I was, watching all those strangers online get worked up, using the most vicious words to condemn you, to attack you?”

“Zenith Corporation’s CEO, caught abusing her own sister- moral failings causing stock fluctuations. Tell me, Sophia, do you think you’ll be able to hold onto that position much longer?”

The recording captured Sophia’s breathing as she asked, “Everything you’ve done-does Damian know about it?”

“Of course he knows. He’s been on my side this whole time. Don’t tell me you still think he cares about you?”

“Sophia, listen carefully-in Damian’s heart, I will always be the most important person.”

The recording wasn’t over.

The background noise suddenly became chaotic-shouts, crashes, footsteps…

It clearly captured the moment a deranged person burst in, screaming for “that bitch to die” and asking “which one is

Sophia.”
