Chapter 107 The Mother-daughter Plan
Grace's words caught Sophia off guard.
She knew Emily had a new man and was pregnant.
Last time she needed a blood transfusion, Emily was supposed to donate blood, but then she was found to be pregnant, so she didn't donate.
But...
"No, Mom," Sophia shook her head. "Her new man is a faceless fugitive. Carol told me, he's definitely not someone from high society."
Grace was a bit surprised to hear this. "He doesn't show his face?"
"Yeah," Sophia said. "He rarely appears. Carol and Nathan have seen him once. He wears a white mask and never reveals his face. If he were wealthy, Emily would want to show him off!"
Grace pondered for a moment. Sophia was right.
If this man held power and influence, Emily would surely flaunt him, rather than constantly helping him conceal his identity.
"There are two possibilities," Grace said.
"Which two?" Sophia asked anxiously.
"First, this person's identity is unsightly. He could be a fugitive, or there could be another reason. If he were to show his face, it would invite endless trouble, so he must cover it up; second, he doesn't want Emily to know his identity."
Though not the brightest, Sophia could understand this reasoning.
A fugitive wanting to remain hidden long-term was unlikely. So, the most likely scenario was the second one.
Sophia felt relieved. "So, this man probably just used Emily to have a child. Once the child is born, he'll kick her out. Emily probably doesn't even know who she's having a child for!"
"It's not out of the realm of possibility," Grace said with lingering concern. "Sophia, I don't know why, but I have a feeling this man will disrupt our plans in the future."
Sophia dismissed it. "Mom, don't worry too much. Emily will probably be dumped soon."
"No, it's just a feeling I have. I think this man is dangerous and could be a stumbling block for us."
Grace's words made Sophia a bit uneasy.
Sophia trusted and admired her mother. Her successful eviction of Emily and pregnancy with Nathan's child were all part of Grace's plan. Therefore, Sophia believed Grace's words without question.
"Mom, should we investigate this man?"
