As Rose spoke, her face twisted in pain, and everyone there froze. Seeing this, Firm suddenly snapped out of it and Blutted, “It wasn’t mes
Finn turned to Nadia, who was standing next to Rose, pointed at her, and said, “It was her, She’s the one who pushed her?
Nadia quickly reached out to steady Rose when she cried out in stomach pain, but froze when Finn spoke. At that moment, some blood started running down Rose’s thigh, staining her evening dress.
Everyone’s faces turned pale as they understood how serious this was. They quickly followed Finn’s lead and turned on Nadia, accusing her, “You pushed Rose, right?”
Rose’s face was pale from pain. When everyone spoke, something flashed through her mind. She didn’t say yes or no.
“Take me to the hospital,” Rose shouted.
They quietly helped Rose out of the Moore residence and rushed her to the hospital. Nadia just stood there, frozen. Jackson, unable to leave, looked at Nadia with sympathy and said, “You should explain this.”
Nadia stood there in a daze, her head down. She was staring at the blood on the floor, her hands shaking. She thought, ‘I’ve been framed and wronged many times since I was a kid, but nothing made me feel this cold–this is about a living being!‘
“Why bother explaining?” Sophia’s voice suddenly cut in. No one saw when she arrived–she was already leaning against the pillar on the other side, acting very relaxed and careless.
“Sophia, when did you get here?” Jackson asked, surprised and happy.
Sophia stepped around the pillar and stood in front of Nadia, raising an eyebrow. “Weren’t you supposed to get me a drink? So, where’s my juice?”
Still stunned, Nadia said, “I’ll go get it now.”
Jackson chuckled, “You two know each other?”
“We’re roommates,” said Sophia.
“With you here, she’ll be fine,” Jackson said, scratching his head.
“Of course,” Sophia raised an eyebrow.
Jackson shifted awkwardly, avoiding her eyes. Dorian and Maelis arrived, both unaware of what just happened. Maelis carried a plate of desserts, and
Dorian held some fresh fruit.
Maelis said, “All girls love sweets. Here, Sophia, have some.”
“Sophia, have some fruit! It’s good for your skin,” Dorian said.
Nadia returned with the juice, still in a daze. Sophia took the glass from her, took a bite of dessert from Maelis’s plate, and then picked a few blueberries from Dorian.
“Sophia likes blueberries?” Dorian said happily.
He added, “Blueberries are good for your eyes, you know.”
Hearing that, Maelis also put some in her mouth. Sophia handed two blueberries to Nadia and said with a kind smile, “If you didn’t push her, what are you so worried about?”
Nadia took the blueberries and whispered thanks. Only then did Dorian and Maelis realize Rose was losing her baby.

Chapter 168
Maells rolled her eyes. “Come on, Rose’s not stupid, Tinn pushed her, so why would she blame it on Nadia /»
Daran rolled her eyes. “Of course she picked Nadia – she’s an easy target. If Rose is really smart, she will use this to get something out of sinne
Marlis’s eyes got big. “Wow, she’s that evil?”
Soon after, Ophelia rame looking for Nadia. “Nadia, come with me,” she ordered.
Nadia instinctively took a step forward seeing Ophelia’s serious face, but Sophia grabbed her wrist. “Ophelia,” sophia said firmly, “I’m the one who brought Nadia here.”
Ophelia’s face darkened. “She’s part of the Moore family,” she snapped.
Sophia shot back, “Yes, she’s part of the family–but she’s not your servant! Now that Rose had a miscarriage, you want to blame everything on Nadia and use her as a scapegoat, just so you can keep control?”
Her blunt words made Ophelia look very upset. “Sophia,” she snapped, “this is our family business. An outsider like you has no right to get involved.
Sophia crossed her arms and lifted her chin, showing she wasn’t backing down. “Can’t help it–I love getting into things and I can’t resist sticking my nose where it doesn’t belong,” she said with a smirk,
Seeing this, Dorian handed the fruit plate to Jackson and stood beside Sophia. He looked at Ophelia and said firmly, “You could call the police.”
Maelis opened her eyes wide and pushed her plate into Jackson’s hands before moving to Sophia’s other side. “Don’t even think about taking Nadia away from us,” she said boldly.
Jackson just stood there, holding a plate in each hand, looking confused. Ophelia seethed with anger, glaring at Sophia.
She thought angrily, ‘If it weren’t for Sophia, Rose wouldn’t have had to rush into that bad marriage–she’s to blame.’
Maelis snapped, “Your daughter just had a miscarriage, and you’re still staring at us? Are you even her real mom?”
Ophelia got angry. “Are you really going to side with Sophia and go against me and the Moore family?”
Maelis, who was usually naive, had sharp instincts about trouble. She said, “Just because you’re older doesn’t mean you can bully us. That’s playing dirty!”
Dorian said, “Ophelia, surely you wouldn’t stoop so low?”
Ophelia fumed, “Fine, I won’t stoop to your level, but I will talk to your parents about this.” She turned to Sophia, her voice cold. “Sophia, step aside.”
