Hiding the Twins from Their Billionaire Father by Pixie

S31 43. Eye for an Eye

“Actually, I have to stop following your orders because of my mother,” Ava stated.

Sophia was stunned. With wide eyes, she glanced at Frank. The man smiled faintly.

“I have someone that can watch over Ava’s mother. He’s tough

enough to defeat all the hospital security officers. You can’t stop her life support machine,

Sophia.”

“I’m not that cruel.”

Frank sneered. “But you intend to stop paying for her treatment. Isn’t that the same as

threatening Mrs. Connor’s life?”

Suddenly, a servant came over to Sophia. Her eyes were wide and her breathing was

short.

“Miss Hall!”

After the servant whispered, Sophia immediately got up from the chair. Her eyes widened

too.

“What did you do to my people?” Sophia’s tone finally rose.

“Have you ever heard of eye for an eye?” Frank replied lightly. “You gave me stimulants

even though in the end, Jeremy was the one who got it. What’s wrong with me giving

sedatives to your people?”

Sophia grimaced. She couldn’t imagine what chaos was happening around the truck. The

guards must have collapsed and probably crushed each other.

“Miss Hall!” Another servant came. “You have to see this.”

The girl in uniform showed her phone. When Sophia looked at it, her

breath came out quickly.

Melanie’s face was back in the headlines. The comments started flooding in.

“What? This was all Sophia’s doing? She was the one who was obsessed with Frank Harper

and locked Melanie in a rehab center?”

“Can someone explain to me? Doesn’t Sophia already have a husband? Why is she

chasing Frank Harper?”

“What an ungrateful woman. She already has Finnic, but still seeks happiness from other

men. You cheap woman!”

Sophia’s voice rose uncontrollably. “You published that video?”

Frank shrugged. “I told you, eye for an eye. You’ve cornered Kara with your video. It’s my

turn to retaliate. Now we’re even.”

Sophia laughed dryly. Her gaze was cold, fixed on Frank. “How dare you ruin my good

name? Aren’t you afraid of my family?”

“It’s not me, but you who is ruining your family’s good name. I’m just trying to protect my

family.”

Sophia’s head shook slowly. “You’ll regret it, Frank. You’ll regret it!”

Suddenly, Sophia grabbed the walkie-talkie at the servant’s waist. With eyes full of hatred,

she ordered, “Gerald, bring Mrs. Harris to me

Now!”

Sophia gripped the walkie-talkie so tightly, as if it was the last hope she had. However,

after waiting a few seconds, she didn’t get any

answer.

“Gerald?” Sophia gulped, nervous. “This is not the time to joke around. Quickly carry out

my orders!”

“Gerald won’t answer, Miss. He’s asleep. Maybe he’ll wake up in half an hour.”

Sophia stared wide-eyed at Ava. “You drugged him?”

As soon as Ava nodded, Sophia started to panic. Her eyes vibrated rapidly. “If Gerald is

drugged, then Mrs. Harris-”

“Here.”

Sophia turned towards the voice. Seeing Melanie walking beside

Jeremy like a normal person, her feet moved backwards. “Mrs. Harris?

Π

“Yes, it’s me. Are you surprised to see me sane?” Melanie stopped in front of Sophia.

Without warning, her hand flew to Sophia’s cheek.

“That’s for my son. You’ve tried to ruin his life.”

Unexpectedly, another slap landed on Sophia’s left cheek. “And that’s for me. You’ve lured

me into your evil plans.”

Sophia sighed in disbelief. Her cheeks were red, hot with anger. She now realized that all

this time, Melanie had been pretending to be crazy in front of her. That meant, Ava hadn’t

given her an injection for a long time.

“You all tricked me? You all made me fall on purpose?” A single te

rolled out of her eye.

“We reap what we sow, Sophia.” Frank moved next to Melanie the pulled her mother back.

“You have been deceived by your own lies.

“But your mother is guilty too! She hates Kara. She wants her fortune, and wishes you two

would separate.”

“But not now. I’m already aware. Moreover, Kara takes great care of me every time she

comes to visit. Even when I was still under the influence of drugs, she patiently took care

of me. I’m ashamed that I considered her an enemy. You’re the one I should have opposed

a long time ago.”

While laughing sadly, Sophia clutched her head. Then, smoothing her hair, she looked up.

“What now? Do you want to sue me? Or lock me up in a rehab center like Isabela?”

Frank shook his head faintly. “Kara asked me to be wiser. She remembered your kindness

on the cruise ship, although I’m not sure if your concern was genuine. She asked me to

give you a chance.”

Sophia snorted. “So it’s true? Kara is really good at deceiving. She wants me to think of

her as a hero?”

“She wants you to return to the right path. Forget your envy and greed, Sophia, while it’s

not too late.”

As Sophia shook her head, Frank glanced at the door. “My part is done. Now it’s your

turn.”

Sophia gasped when she heard that. She turned her head. A second later, her heart

jumped as if it had been struck by lightning.

A man smiled wryly. “Surprised to see me?”

“Finnic?” Sophia’s voice got caught in her own throat. “How is possible? You’re working

with Frank?”

Finnic shrugged his shoulders vaguely. “This is the only way to sa

our marriage.”

Taking a deep breath, he took Sophia’s hand. She wanted to dodge,

but it was too late.

“I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have made you Kara’s replacement. I shouldn’t have used

you to make her regret it.”

Sophia snorted in disgust. She tried to withdraw her hand. However, Finnic was reluctant

to let go.

“But do you know the real reason I chose you?” Finnic deepened his gaze, hoping that

Sophia would see his sincerity.

“That’s because I feel you are superior to Kara. You can make her embarrassed by your

background and achievements. You can make her realize that her position has been

replaced by a woman who is much more worthy of being next to me.”

“Nonsense! I know you don’t really love me. You think I don’t know what’s on your mind?

That night, when your eyes met Kara’s again, I saw regret. And when you saw Frank side

by side with her, I knew you were jealous.”

“But it’s only temporary,” Finnic emphasized. “The next morning, I realized that it was just

about pride. I was annoyed because Kara got a better man than me, because I thought

she wasn’t worthy.”

While Frank let out a faint snort, Finnic held Sophia’s hand tighter.

“Right at that moment, I made up my mind that I would be the best man for you. I really

love you, Sophia. The vows I said were sincere. Sorry if I made you doubt, but I really don’t

want to lose you.”

Sophia looked at Finnic from the upper corner of her eyes. Her jaw throbbed in

displeasure.

“You are not a big liar, Fin. If you really loved me, you shouldn’t ha put me in anyone’s

shadow. You would have provided a new place f me, not the throne that was long

abandoned by your ex-lover.”
