Chapter 526 Both of You Are Calculating
"I think you have heard some news about what I just said. After her failed attempts, she finally took the step of drugging my son."
Laura said angrily, "This is nonsense! Who in the world doesn't know that my daughter loves Drake? As for your son, don't you think he's out of my daughter's league?"
She sounded extremely arrogant, and she successfully belittled Rashad with those words at the same time.
Lily stiffened. "Mrs. Lawson, what do you mean by that? Aren't you clear about how much your daughter liked my son back then?"
"No. You claim that my daughter likes your son, but I can tell you with certainty that in all these years I've never heard my daughter mention your son."
"Oh, I see. The truth is that your son has liked my daughter all these years, but he knew that my daughter had married his cousin when he came back, which he could not stand, so he tried to get my daughter by setting her up. However, he found that my daughter did not fall for his tricks, and then he did such a nasty thing!"
"You say it was my daughter who drugged your son. May I ask if you have any proof?"
Lily was not intimidated, but said, "Bring the witness here."
Everyone was watching. After all, it was unbelievable to see such a farce at the funeral of the Old Riley.
A person was brought over, and he immediately lowered his head when he saw Sophia.
"Come and tell Mrs. Lawson what is going on!" Lily said.
He glanced at Laura, noticed the horrible stares and lowered his head before saying in a low voice, "That day I was the waiter who was assigned to the box of Ms. Lawson and Mr. Witt, and Ms. Lawson came to me secretly and required me to spike Rashad's wine."
"I didn't agree and said I couldn't do it, but she said that if I didn't, she would have the manager fire me."
"Not everyone gets to work in a hotel like this. I am well paid, and I don't want to be fired. So I agreed to do it, considering Ms. Lawson's high status."
Chloe gripped Helena's hand. It was clear that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavourable for Sophia. It was hard to imagine Lily actually doing that at the funeral of the Old Riley.
"Later I also received 100, 000 dollars transferred to me by Ms. Lawson, and this is the record of it!" The waiter showed them the transfer record on the phone.
Sophia also took a look at it, but she was not surprised at all. Rashad was a top hacker, so a little trick like this was a piece of cake. But why did he have to do so?
Sophia looked at Rashad, who looked back at her. Though Rashad was smiling gently all the time, Sophia felt that the man in front of her was becoming stranger and stranger. She didn't know who he was, although it was obviously a very familiar look.
Lily looked at Laura. "What else is there for you to say?"
Laura looked at Sophia. "Sophia, tell her."
Sophia stood out for her own business.
"Lily, how do you want us to be responsible?"
At this time, Sophia was not at all ashamed; on the contrary, she still gave off a powerful aura.
But many people did not quite understand why Sophia was not ashamed. Even if there was official proof that Sophia and Rashad did not have a sexual relationship, the current situation itself had proved they had an affair..
Lily, however, passed the buck. "You caused this and your grandfather left because of it. You have to take all the responsibility, so you should be the one to tell everyone how you are going to take that responsibility."
Sophia smiled. "Lily, there is no need to feign innocence now. To put it bluntly, you and Rashad came back to get everything from the Riley family."
"But you've targeted the wrong person. Even if I give up, it won't affect Drake."
"Oh yes, you two must think Drake loves me so much that he will give up the control over the Riley family for me."
"You two are so calculating!"
"Especially you, Rashad!" Once again, Sophia looked directly at Rashad.
"You contacted me from the beginning because you know I have been with Drake for years. You have spied on him many times through me, so when you feel you are his match, you come back.
"You tried to get me to cuckold him so that he would lose his mind, but you didn't expect that he wouldn't fall for your trick."
"You were at your wit's end, so you drugged yourself and then came to frame me! Rashad, you have planned for so many years and finally succeeded. You are very proud of yourself, aren't you!"
What? Everyone looked at Rashad in disbelief, secretly drugging himself? Really?
"Sophia, you can't accuse me falsely. How could I possibly drug myself?" Rashad frowned.
"That's right!" Lily said, "What evidence do you have!"
"Evidence? What do you mean by evidence? Do you think that what you said is evidence? Who knows Rashad is a top hacker here except me?"
Sophia exposed Rashad's another identity, and people were more confused.
Rashad turned out to be a top hacker, so it was actually possible that the transfer record on Sophia's phone was forged.
"I admit that I really can't find any evidence now. After all, you two have plotted all this long ago. And the reason I didn't say anything for so long is that I feel now that the Old Riley was gone, it would simply be disrespectful for us to talk about this right at his funeral."
A few simple words cleared all doubts!
That was right. It was not that Sophia could not fight back; she just didn't want to do this in front of the Old Riley!
After all, the Old Riley passed away, and Sophia wanted him to rest in peace, but Lily and Rashad were unrelenting and insisted on discussing this.
They were indeed lacking in courtesy!
Lily and Rashad did not expect that a few simple words from Sophia would turn the tables.
If they continued to pester her, they might be criticized, so Lily then said, "Okay, in that case, let's wait until after your grandfather's funeral to talk about this matter."
"Whatever!" Sophia finished her words and came to keep Abbott and Laura company.
Drake didn't go with her because he still needed to greet other people.
In a room in the Riley manor, Laura held Sophia's hand.
"Sophia, I thought nothing bad would happen to you when you married Drake this time, but I didn't expect so much to happen in such a short time."
