When Sophia was asleep, Drake's phone rang. It was Paul
"Well, I see. Send her in. Jail fits her better."
"Yes, sir."
When Drake turned around to return to the bedroom, he was surprised to see Sophia standing there. He said, "I thought you've been asleep."
"Yes, but I woke up after you left the room."
Drake walked over quickly and held her in his arms. "Don't be afraid. It's all over. I'll protect you."
"Have you found who did it to me?"
"Yes, it was Abby. I have told Paul to send her to prison. The hospital is too good for her to recuperate."
"Well, I see."
The next day, Sophia went straight to the prison. When Abby saw her, her eyes were filled with hatred.
"Sophia, I hate myself for my incompetence. I failed to bring you down. If I was given another chance, I would kill you. Even if I couldn't get Drake, I wouldn't let you have him!"
Sophia curled her lips. "If you were given another chance, you think you would succeed? You are bound to lose. You should have realized it sooner, you could have enjoyed a longer life if you did."
"A longer life?" Abby seemed to take it as a joke. "From the moment Drake set me up with Roman in the same bed, it's over."
"The man I love sent me to another man's bed. Never had I ever imagined it!"
"If you didn't covet him, he wouldn't have done that to you. It's your own fault!"
"But!" Abbylooked at her. "No matter how hard I try, all he sees is you!"
"That's why you should have been smarter and given up in the first place. You wouldn't have got here today if you did."
Abby smiled gently, as if in self-mockery, "Yes, if I had, I wouldn't have been here."
There was nothing Sophia wanted to say to her now. She stood up and left.
Not long after, Sophia heard that Abby committed suicide in prison. Sophia was not surprised. After all, she was bound to be sentenced to a lifetime in jail.
What was the point in leaving jail after decades as an old woman?
But to everyone's surprise, the coroner found Abby pregnant.
It was self-evident who the father was.
Olivia got a chill when she heard the news. Why? Why? Although she didn't like Abby, that was her grandchild. It left with its mother before it was born.
Was it a sign? A sign that her and Roman's plan was bound to fail?
No, she didn't believe it!
After all these years of deployment, she couldn't fail like that!
She would surely succeed.
Roman was soon released from prison. He should have stayed in jail for two or three years, but because of Abby's death, Olivia realized that even if she and her son had become estranged, she could not let Drake succeed.
So, she got Roman out of jail.
Roman blamed her. "Mom, why did you get me out so soon?"
"What are you talking about? Are you still hoping that Sophia Lawson would go visit you?"
"She has been there! I'm sure she would come again!"
"You fool! Even if she did come to see you, she came with a purpose. The whole thing was a trap they had set to let you speak out the truth but you fell into it voluntarily!"
"Sophia wouldn't set me up!"
"She owns so many companies. Do you think she's naive and stupid? Roman, listen to me, get away from her. You are no match for her!"
Roman was silent for a while before he looked up, "Mom, I have never thought of going against Sophia. I do love her."
