Chapter 546 Fight
After cleaning up any traces they might have left behind, they walked out of the private room.
In the adjacent room, Sebastian and Madeline also left and returned to their car.
The group returned to the Harts' vacation mansion. After Quinton extracted valuable footage, he sent it to Sebastian.
Sebastian and Madeline watched it together and then forwarded the video to Madeline. "You can handle this video on your own now."
"Thank you!" Madeline thought for a moment before she leaned over and kissed him on the cheek.
Sebastian was momentarily stunned, but he soon smiled. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Blushing, Madeline dared not look at him. After thinking for a moment, she sent the video separately to Sophie and Edmund.
…
Dusktown.
The Foreman Family's secondary estate.
It was already late, but Sophie couldn't fall asleep as he tossed and turned in bed.
With her mind filled with thoughts of Edmund, she was angry, resentful, and in pain.
She couldn't leave nor forget him.
This was like an obsession. Edmund belonged to her and must be hers. She would never allow Edmund to leave her!
As she was fiercely plotting, determined to find Edmund regardless of where he was hiding or what price needed to be paid once morning came, her phone buzzed.
Impatiently, she reached for her phone and glanced at it. It was an unfamiliar number that sent her a video.
She opened the video. After watching it, she sat up abruptly, her blood running cold.
Is this true?
No.
It can't be!
This can't be real!
The Foreman Family were all fools. How could her parents, who were so shrewd, be deceived by Elijah?!
But this was a video and not a photo. The possibility of it being fake was very small.
The person in the video, Ashley, was as alive as any other living person. Judging from her expressions, actions, and tone of voice, it didn't seem like she was lying.
Have I been deceived by Elijah and Ashley?
Her mind was in chaos. With trembling fingers, she dialed her personal bodyguard's number. She told the bodyguard to prepare a private plane for her to return to Yolas City.
After putting away her phone and changing her clothes, she rushed out unsteadily.
Her butler was already waiting outside the door when he called out anxiously, "Miss Sophie, why do you suddenly want to go home so late? It's not safe to go back at night. Can't you go back tomorrow?"
Sophie didn't say a word. She opened the video and tossed her phone to the butler to watch before she dashed toward the airstrip.
"Miss Sophie!" The butler hurriedly chased after her.
As he chased after her, he glanced at the video a few times. Although he only saw different parts of the video, he understood what was happening.
In fact, he had always believed that Edmund was innocent.
But sometimes, those involved couldn't see clearly.
The Foreman Family had deep feelings for Edmund, which was why they were easily swayed by
emotions.
As an outsider, he had a clearer view.
He had advised Sophie and her father, but they were passionate people who loved intensely. They were too angry to calm down and think.
They couldn't listen to his advice.
He wasn't too surprised when he saw the video. He only felt a headache coming.
Now that Sophie knew she was wrong and had wrongly accused Edmund, based on his understanding of Sophie, she would probably do two things.
The first thing would be to seek revenge on Elijah and Ashley.
The second thing would be to hope for a reconciliation with Edmund.
The first thing was easy to handle. She just needed to keep an eye on Ashley and prevent her from doing anything illegal, so as not to land himself in prison.
As for the second thing, according to his understanding of Edmund, Edmund might forgive Sophie, but he might not return to her side.
Would Sophie be able to accept this outcome when the time came?
How should I persuade Miss Sophie?
Thinking about this difficult problem gave him a headache.
He called for Sophie's personal bodyguards and boarded the plane back to Yolas City.
It was still dark when the plane landed in Yolas City.
Sophie went straight to Temptation Tavern.
After some effort, she managed to locate Ashley.
Ashley was still unconscious in her private room.
Without saying a word, Sophie brought a basin of water from the bathroom and poured it all over Ashley's face.
Ashley proceeded to scream and woke up from her sleep.
She was bewildered when she sat up abruptly from the couch, but when she saw Sophie's face clearly, she screamed, "Sophie, are you nuts?! Why are you acting crazy again?"
Sophie didn't say a word; she showed Ashley the video.
After Ashley watched the video, her limbs went cold, and she trembled all over as she stammered, "I-I was drunk. I was talking nonsense. It's not true—"
"Don't you know that drunken words are often true?" Sophie put away her phone, walked up to Ashley,
grabbed her hair, and gave her several hard slaps. "You dare to plot against me and Edmund? Edmund nearly lost his life because of your schemes! Your father was raised by my grandparents. Everything he has now is thanks to the Foreman Family. Not only is he ungrateful, but he's also turning against us, plotting against our family. Ashley... you're finished!"
She slapped Ashley repeatedly until she finally stopped. Then, she turned to the butler and instructed, "Davis, give the order. After daybreak, attack Elijah Foreman's company with full force. I want them to go bankrupt and have nothing left. I want them to suffer!"
The butler nodded. "Yes, I understand, Miss Sophie. I will pass on the message."
It was only natural for Sophie to seek revenge. There was nothing wrong with it.
If she targeted Elijah's family for no reason, she would definitely be criticized and have her reputation tarnished.
But now, she had a legitimate reason.
Because of Edmund's situation, her parents had died one after another. Based on this alone, it was within reason no matter how Sophie dealt with Elijah's family.
No one would sympathize with Elijah, let alone help him.
"No! Please!" Ashley was so scared she was trembling. "Sophie, I beg you, please don't! The things I said were all lies. I was fooling that gigolo! Please, my father is your uncle. You can't do this!"
She was scared to the point of breaking down.
Her father's small company, which he ran himself, was making some money, but compared to the Foreman Group, it was like a little chick compared to an eagle.
If an eagle attacked a little chick, it wouldn't take many rounds for the little chick to be eaten.
The company might even end up in debt.
If her father's company was gone and they were heavily in debt, how would she live in the future?
Also, if her father, mother, and brother found out that their family had brought disaster upon themselves because she had drunkenly revealed the truth, they would definitely hate her.
The more she thought about it, the more afraid she became. She knelt on the ground, clutching Sophie's legs. "Sophie, I beg you, please believe me. I was really drunk last night when I said those things. None of it was true. I really love Edmund, and I got pregnant with his child—"
She shouldn't have said these things. The more she said, the more furious and hateful Sophie became.
After Sophie kicked Ashley to the ground, she kicked the latter mercilessly as if she had gone mad.
