Chapter 251

“Mr. Morgan, there’s a small issue with the Mrs.”

A short while later, Chris knocked and entered.

Upon hearing this, Marcus’s smile quickly vanished.

Chris informed him of everything that had happened at the mall, and then handed over a file. “This is everything we have on Michelle.”

Marcus slowly relaxed his clenched fist and glanced at the file –

The Michelle Family.

In Riverland’s elite circles, the Nelson family had long since fallen from grace. The Nelson family had once amassed wealth through shady business dealings, which allowed Michelle’s father and brother to establish themselves in the upper circles.

But as the saying goes, if you walk along the riverbank long enough, you’ll get your feet wet. Ten years ago, a financial upheaval wiped out the Nelson family’s fortune, exposing them for what they really were–nothing more than a grain of sand disguised as a pearl.

In the blink of an eye, Michelle’s father was arrested and thrown in prison, her mother jumped into the river, unable to bear the shame, and the Nelson family’s decades of wealth came crashing downL

Michelle’s brother, Miller, had escaped prison due to his cooperation with authorities.

In those three days, Miller used his father’s last connections to send his sister abroad, while he stayed behind to hold up the crumbling Nelson family.

Now, ten years later, Miller had achieved some success, though it was nowhere near his father’s former glory.

“When Michelle was sent abroad at the age of fourteen, it’s been ten years now. Miller had planned for her to never return, but this time she came back due to an accident,” Chris continued, handing over another document.

Marcus slowly opened it, and a blood–red photo came into view—

“During her time abroad, Michelle bullied a Chinese classmate. This time, she killed someone in a fit of rage and fled back to the country to avoid punishment,” Chris said coldly.

The photos were like daggers to Marcus’s eyes. Michelle’s wicked grin made her look like a demon.

After flipping through the photos, Marcus’s lips moved, “The Nelson family can go bankrupt now.”

His fingers, sharp as bones, tossed the photo aside, and his voice was frigid. “Also, make her disappear from Sophie’s world.”

Chris nodded. “Understood.”

At the mall,

They had bought so much that Sherry had to call the bodyguards back.

She looped her arm through Sophie’s, raising an eyebrow. “Looks like Mr. Morgan still has some sense. He handed over all the money.”

But Sophie seemed distracted, her brows furrowed as she pondered the situation.

“But all these things…. they’re all for me. He shouldn’t be upset, right?” Sherry turned to count the bags in the bodyguards‘ hands, then shrugged. “Whatever! If he’s upset, there’s nothing we can do about it.”

She looked up at Sophie. “Hey, what are you thinking about?”

Sophie’s thoughts gradually returned, her brows still knitted. “Sherry, do you remember the last thing Michelle said when she was taken away? Did you hear it clearly?”

Seeing that Sophie was still fixated on this, Sherry sighed in frustration and shook her hand. “Come on, stop thinking about those things that upset you.”

“What did she say?” Sophie pressed, still unsettled.

Sherry sighed with a sarcastic chuckle, “Oh, just more of her nonsense. She called me an illegitimate child and said we were sworn enemies.”

“Yes, the illegitimate child,” Sophie’s eyes suddenly lit up, gripping Sherry’s hand tightly, her emotions rising.

Sherry, somewhat lost for words, said, “Sophie, what’s going on?”

Sophie’s voice was firm, “You said she grew up abroad and doesn’t know much about domestic affairs, not even about my marriage to Marcus. But how does she know about those rumors, calling me an illegitimate child, and sound so sure of it?”

Sherry looked at Sophie, surprised.

Sophie’s eyes narrowed, a sudden realization dawning on her. “How did she know those rumors?”

Suddenly, both of them glanced at each other and, almost simultaneously, spoke the same name-

“Sophia!”

It all made sense now.

Sherry chuckled dryly. “How did those two end up getting together?”

Sophie felt a sudden, ominous premonition. She gripped Sherry’s hand tighter. “Sherry, I think you need to plan ahead.”

“The situation with the Shaw family is getting worse, and with Sophia like this, she’s probably planning to destroy us both.”

Sherry nodded in agreement.

Soon after, she laughed bitterly. “I thought that cutting ties with the Shaw family would completely rid us of them, but now it’s just a self–inflicted

mess.”

Sherry sighed deeply. “Well, if that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

With that, she pulled out her phone, and after a few quick taps, a wicked smile spread across her lips.

Less than a minute later, a headline exploded on social media-

‘Shaw Family Heiress Arrested.‘

The discussion threads erupted.

“No way, is it really the Shaw family’s daughter?”

“Wasn’t she supposed to debut in a talent show? Why is she suddenly arrested?

“Such a morally corrupt person wants to debut? Don’t make me laugh! Boycott the show!”

“I heard the show was funded by her family, let’s boycott! We can’t let a person like her enter the entertainment industry!”

The accusations against the Shaw family grew louder, and the official accounts for the talent show were flooded with complaints, forcing them to close the comment section.

The Shaw Group’s stock, already teetering on the edge, plummeted to rock bottom.

When Mr. Shaw heard the news, he suddenly stood up, but his vision darkened, and he collapsed howvily in the grou

The wall of an ambulance pierced the night air.

Sophia had just been bailed out from the police station and was about to cause more trouble for Sopide ehen de

“Miss, you should go check on Mr. Shaw. We heard about the news, and he had a heart attack this afternoon. He’s wit

Sophia froze, and immediately flagged down a taxi, rushing to the hospital.

That night, Sophie returned home, her body fatigued.

She kicked off her shoes, too tired even to put on slippers, and walked barefoot to the couch. She collapsed, letting out a deep sigh, feeling & rats moment of peace.

Soon, she felt a warm hand gently wrap around her cold ankle,

As she sat up, she locked eyes with Marcus’s deep gaze.

“Why aren’t you wearing shoes?” His voice was unusually gentle.

Sophie, her voice weary, responded, “I’m just tired.”

Marcus sat beside her, brushing a stray lock of hair behind her ear, his touch sending a shiver through her.

“The Nelson family declared bankruptcy this afternoon.”

Sophie’s eyes widened in shock.

Marcus’s fingers lightly brushed her ear, his voice cold. “Anyone or anything that makes you unhappy shouldn’t exist in this world.”

“Sophie,” Marcus’s voice softened, but his gaze hardened as he looked at her seriously,

Sophie, her eyes flashing with coldness, stared back. “Are you secretly watching me?”
