"What should he tell me? My brother never told me anything. In his eyes, I was just a troublemaker."
Sophia didn't expect this. She shouldn't have leaked that information.
"Sophia, come on. You are not going to keep it from me, are you? Do you think I'll just ruin your plan if I know it?"
Sophia had a headache. She thought for a second and said, "Stay on your set, I'm going there now."
On the way there, Sophia sent Drake a message. "Sorry, I made a mistake. I told Aria that your grandpa was controlled by Olivia. But I don't regret it. Aria was ignorant before, but she has grown up after going through so many things. So, I am going to remind her to guard against Olivia."
Drake replied, "Alright, do it then."
Sophia smiled upon seeing the text.
When she got there, Aria had finished filming and was waiting for her.
Sophia froze for a moment. "Are you done?"
"Yes, my part for today is over. I'll do the rest tomorrow. Let's go somewhere and sit down."
"Okay!"
They went to a cafe and sat at the same side of the table by the window.
Sophia murmured, "I thought your brother had told you."
Aria was sad. "Nobody had ever told me anything since I was young. I regarded the bitch Olivia as my mother for twenty years and whenever I think about it, I just feel like...!"
Sophia understood Aria's feelings, although she had never experienced such things.
"Your brother kept this from you because he wanted you to grow up happily."
"But I knew it anyway. This feeling is awful. I sometimes don't know why I exist in this world."
Sophia held Aria's hand. "Don't think that way. Aria, at least your brother, your mother, and your father all love you. And of course, your grandfather loves you too."
"By the way, Sophia, what did you mean by saying my grandpa was controlled by Olivia?"
Sophia told Aria what happened that day after she was rescued.
Aria subconsciously covered her mouth. "My God, I am completely unaware of these things. So, my grandpa..."
"Don't worry. Your brother has settled it. Your grandpa isn't really controlled. He's just acting with Olivia."
"Does my... Does she know about this?"
Although Aria didn't say the word "mom", Sophia knew who she was referring to.
"Yes."
"It looks like I'm the only one who's kept in the dark." Aria looked disappointed.
"No need to feel sad about it. I told your brother that I would tell you the truth on my way here. And guess what? He didn't stop me. It means he's starting to trust you."
"Really?" Aria looked at Sophia in disbelief.
"Of course, look, this is the message I sent him." To prove all this, Sophia showed Aria the phone.
