Chapter 104 Do You Dare Swear?
"Sophia! Can you please be more rational? Look at yourself now! You're acting like a shrew!"
"It's all because of this wretched woman, Emily!" Sophia sneered coldly, her teeth clenched, as if she wanted to sink her teeth into Emily's flesh. "If it weren't for her, we would be happily married!"
Emily stood by silently, listening to their conversation.
But Sophia clearly wasn't going to let her off easily. She continued her tirade, "She's a woman without a university degree. She's only fit for jobs like cleaning or being a maid. What right does she have to be Mrs. Reed?"
Emily grew angry, "Sophia, I didn't use any dirty tricks to become Mrs. Reed. You know why I got married. It was Nathan's grandfather's dying wish. I never had any intention of gaining anything from this marriage. I merely agreed to fulfill an old man's last request."
"You're talking nonsense! Don't paint yourself as some noble figure! Nathan's grandfather is dead, and No one can prove your story! You're quite cunning! I underestimated you."
Emily furrowed her brow, her expression serious, "Sophia, please show some respect for the deceased."
"Did I say something wrong? Nathan's grandfather mentioned that you helped him, so he wanted you to marry his grandson. But you're just an ordinary woman. How could he have known you? You must have used some dirty scheme. Don't think I'm a fool."
Nathan angrily interjected, "That's enough, Sophia! Shut up!"
"No way! Today, I'm going to expose Emily's true face in front of you!" Sophia hysterically mocked, "Emily, your excuse is so low-grade. I don't believe it. Even if you helped him once, why would he insist on you marrying Nathan?"
Emily's tone turned icy, "What do you mean?"
"Haha, it's simple. Why would Nathan's grandfather value you so much? Emily, despite his age, he's still a man. When a man esteems a woman so highly, what could be the reason?"
Sophia's insinuations instantly infuriated Nathan, "Are you insane? Do you even know what you're saying?"
"Do you know the truth?" Sophia directly questioned him, "You don't, right? You only know that your grandfather wanted you to marry Emily. Do you know what happened between your grandfather and Emily?"
"That's impossible," Nathan immediately refuted, "My grandfather was a man of integrity. He was a soldier."
"And what about you? You're his grandson, and yet you cheated?" Sophia sighed lightly, "Emily, I didn't want to bring this up, but since you've been constantly ruining my marriage, I'll say it. In order to enter the Reed family, you didn't hesitate to seduce an eighty-year-old man. Your scheming runs deep!"
Amidst the eerie music playing in the haunted house, Emily felt that no matter how terrifying the music, it couldn't compare to the darkness within Sophia's heart.
Sophia's heart was the most frightening thing in this world.
