Chapter 834

She decided to move a part of their family’s property to Sophia’s home country, then live there as a
permanent resident. Their family had expanded its business overseas for almost two hundred years, so
it was about time for them to return to their roots. She even decided to be buried with her husband in
the future,

In the evening, Sophia strolled in the garden outside with Martha, listening to the older woman’s
amusing stories about her husband’s antics when he was at young child. She kept lowering her head to
chuckle discreetly. Everyone’s childhood was filled with fun, it seemed -even Arthur was no different.

Just then, a servant came over to Martha and reported, ‘Old Madam Weiss, Miss Jennings is outside
and wants to see you.”

Martha frowned as soon as she heard. that. “I don’t want to see her. Tell her to leave.”

‘She’s on her knees and won’t budge no matter what we say. She insists on seeing you.” The servant
had tried to chase her away too, but it was exactly because

Emily refused to leave that the servant came to report it.

Martha huffed for a few seconds, furious at the mention of the Jennings. She said to Sophia, “Sophia,
come with me!”

The latter nodded and followed Martha out of the yard. On the other side of the iron gates, Emily was
kneeling with tears streaming down her face. She trembled visibly when she saw Sophia, then lowered
her head in shame.

She never thought that Sophia would see her like this. It wouldn’t be too embarrassing if she kneeled
and begged Martha, but Sophia simply had to come along to watch.

A hint of strong hatred flashed across her downcast eyes.



As soon as Martha saw Emily, she felt fury raging inside her. “Your family did such horrible things, yet
you still have the guts to come begging for mercy?”

“Grandma, my parents have repented. They didn’t mean anything evil; they just loved me too much and
wanted me to have a happy life in the future. They didn’t do it on purpose.” Emily still called her
‘Grandma’.

“Don’t call me that, for I don’t have a grandchild as evil as you. Your parents love you, but you also
allowed them to carry out their plans. What makes you any different from them?”

“You did something to Artie so that he would forget about me. Do you think you can attain happiness
just like that? Did it ever occur to you that Artie’s life could’ve been in danger?” Sophia also questioned
angrily.

Tears streamed down Emily’s face as sudden anger took over her. She looked up and glared at Sophia
as she said, “If it weren’t for you, I would’ve been a perfect match for Artie. You! You’re the one who
caused this to happen.”

“How dare you! You haven’t repented at all! You’re even pushing the blame on Sophia, but she’s
completely innocent in this matter. I was wrong about you,” Martha shouted. She once thought that

Emily was a decent girl, but she never thought that the latter would turn so evil because of her jealousy.
Emily truly wasn’t a good person at heart.

Emily’s hatred only grew stronger. She had originally come to beg for mercy, but when she saw Sophia,
her anger was stoked. Thus, she did the wrong thing again. She shouted in panic, “Grandma, I’m
sorry-“
