Chapter 527 It's disgusting to breathe the same air as you
"It's okay, Mom. They can't beat me!"
"That's true, but this time it's different because these two are determined to screw you and Drake and there's no telling what they'll do next."
Laura, as a member of the gentry, knew the dog-eat-dog fight for property in rich families.
And because of that, from the time she came into the Lawson family, she raised the children well and did not allow them to fight among themselves like that.
But the Lawson family was a rare example. There was fierce competition in the Warburg family and the Greenspan family. Of course, the Thomas family was the same peaceful as the Lawson family, but that was because there was only one child raised in the Thomas family.
"Mom, they've been hiding for so long. Aren't they just waiting for this day? Before they were in the dark and I did not know exactly what they were up to, but now that they have shown their true colours, I know their purpose and I can defeat them. You must have faith in me!
Yes, her daughter was strong enough! But, in Laura's eyes, her daughter was still a child after all!
"Sophia, don't worry, the Lawson family will always be there for you, and no one dares to do anything to hurt you!"
"The fallback plan is to bring Drake back to the Lawson family. Since your brothers all hate managing companies all day long, and Drake is so suitable, so he can still use his talents there."
"Got it!" Sophia couldn't help but smile. She was lucky to have such a family.
It looked bad for Sophia to be over here all the time. No matter what other people thought, she still had to go out to greet guests since she was the only granddaughter-in-law of the Riley family.
As soon as Sophia left, Bard said angrily, "If we knew Rashad would set Sophia up like this, we should have taught him a good lesson."
Edwin glanced at him. "That's useless. He would still do what he wants to!"
"Then let's find a sack and beat him up when no one is around. I'm annoyed by the sheer look at him!"
Travis spoke up, "Nonsense! If something happens to Rashad at this time, he will definitely smear Sophia and Drake again. Do you want to make things worse?"
Bard walked around the room anxiously. "Are we just going to do nothing? When I think about the labels they put on Sophia, I feel like I'm too much of a loser if I don't do something as her brother!"
"Hold on a few more days!" Travis's eyes narrowed slightly.
The corners of his mouth raised when Bard saw Travis like this. He knew that his oldest brother would not stay indifferent.
Sophia replaced Drake at night to keep vigil. Even if she was alone there, she was afraid of nothing.
The Old Riley treated her badly before she got married to Drake, but later he treated her well.
"Grandpa, you left just like that, but do you know what a mess you left? You say you're sorry and you shouldn't have listened to Olivia and treated me like that, but what about now? I'm still an outsider in your eyes, aren't I?"
"Admittedly, compared to the grandson you haven't seen for so many years, I naturally was less important, but what about Drake? Do you even stop caring about Drake anymore?"
"And right! You are too old to take care of anything..."
Then a person sat beside her. Sophia knew who it was even without looking up.
She just pretended there was no one around and went on with what she was doing.
"Sophia!" Rashad couldn't help but call out.
Sophia still did not look away. "Mr. Witt, shouldn't you stay away from me a little bit? You set me up last time, and now you're here again. If anyone sees us, especially your mother, they'll definitely think I'm hooking up with you again!"
"Sophia!" Suddenly, Rashad grabbed her hand.
Sophia subconsciously pulled her hand away and looked at him this time.
"Rashad, please respect me!"
Rashad did not take the next step, but he was looking at her with deep affection.
"Sophia, I really didn't know that you loved me, and I know they treated you so badly during the day and made you suffer, but you are not alone, I can tell you frankly today before my grandfather's dead body that you have been in my heart all these years!"
"Stop it!" Sophia really couldn't bear it anymore.
"Stop saying that, okay? Especially in front of Grandpa. It was these things you did that angered him to death. Are trying to bring him alive through this ridiculous play?"
"Sophia, I understand that ..."
Sophia directly made a gesture to tell him to stop.
"Mr. Witt, I beg you to stop. Your kneeling here is enough to make me feel sick because I have to breathe the same air as you."
"After all ..."
"Others don't know who did those things. Don't you and I know it?"
Their eyes met.
The breeze blew, sending a chill down the spine.
After a long time, Rashad stood up. "I know you can't accept these things now, and it's okay. One day you will figure it out!"
Sophia didn't know why he was so confident, but after this incident, they were true enemies. From now on, it would be impossible to fix their relationship.
The Old Riley's dead body was put at home for three consecutive days, the cremation was on the fourth day, and then came the real funeral.
All the way down, Lily and Rashad did not make trouble again.
"Wait, don't leave, everyone. Please wait for me at the Riley manor where I will read the will." After the funeral was over, a lawyer who was hired by the Riley family appeared.
Laura had a bad feeling, and she looked at Sophia worriedly.
Sophia, however, held her hand, signaling her not to think too much.
Laura and Abbott did not leave. They were not a part of the Riley family, so they couldn't hear the announcement of the Old Riley's will and had to wait elsewhere.
Sophia, Drake, Aria, Baron, Lily and Rashad, had arrived at the Riley manor.
The lawyer walked in. Everyone was very familiar with him, as he was in charge of all the legal matters of the Riley family, large and small.
"This is the will that the Old Riley asked me to make when he was alive, and now I will read it out to you!" He opened his mouth and said.
"All the property in the name of Drake belongs to Drake, in addition to the company shares he deserves; Aria does not have the company's shares, but the property in her name still belongs to her; Baron's company shares and the property in his name belong to him."
"In addition, all of the Old Riley's company holdings, as well as the funds that he bought, and the other property in his name, all go to Rashad, and he shall enjoy them with Lily."
