Chapter 1366
After Sophia left, the woman with a helpless look squatted down and patiently lectured her daughter.
“Lea, what’s up with you today? Sophia just got home; why were you so rude to her?”
The grievances she had for Sophia were evident from Lea’s expression. “But she insulted you, Mom. She
disrespected you; why should I still call her my sister?”
The woman was at a loss for words. She had heard Sophia’s curse earlier, but she didn’t want to argue with her
husband’s daughter from a previous marriage.
Understanding her daughter’s feelings, the woman didn’t say much more and took her to find her husband.
As the mother and daughter walked to the lotus pond, they saw Thaddeus sternly commanding his subordinates to

The woman knew her husband like the back of her hand, and by his look, she knew he was up to no good again.
She didn’t like his aggressive nature, especially at his age.
When his subordinates left after receiving the orders, the woman took Lea and walked over, asking, “Malloy, what
did you just send them off to do?”
Thaddeus’s real name was Malloy Reynolds, only those close to him knew this, and only his wife could call him that.
After seeing his wife and daughter, Thaddeus’s face softened immediately. “Nothing much. I just sent them to
investigate someone.”
The woman frowned and asked, “Why are you suddenly investigating this person?”
Thaddeus didn’t dare lie to his wife, fearing she would misunderstand that he was having an affair. He sincerely
replied, “Bertha, don’t overthink it. I just asked them to find out who the girl who is fighting over a boy with Sophia
is.”
The woman, named Bertha, was elegant and sophisticated.
Thaddeus’s explanation did not make Bertha feel relieved, and she asked, “Why are you investigating her? Is it to
help Sophia get rid of that girl?”
She knew Thaddeus’s way of doing things; he was definitely trying to remove obstacles for Sophia.
But she didn’t agree with Thaddeus doing this.
Thaddeus admitted it. “Ah! Sophia is only interested in Theo. If I, as her father, don’t help her, who else can she rely
on?”

Bertha advised him with a worried face, “Malloy, I know you love Sophia, but you can’t force love. Even if you get
rid of that girl, would Mr. Blanchet definitely accept Sophia?”
“Bertha, you know I owe Sophia too much. Her mother passed away early when I was young. I was only interested
in making a name for myself, leaving little Sophia to be taken care of by her grandparents. Now I want to make up
for as much fatherly love she lacked as possible.”
Bertha actually understood Thaddeus’s feelings.
“But this is not the way to compensate her; you can’t build your daughter’s happiness on the pain of others. Mr.
Blanchet has a woman he likes, and I heard that she’s already pregnant with his child. It would be wicked if you
broke them up.”
Thaddeus loved his wife very much, but he also valued his daughter’s wishes. “Alright, Bertha, I have some ideas
about Sophia. You don’t have to worry anymore. By the way, have we chosen a school for Lea yet?”
Bertha knew he was deliberately changing the subject. She shook her head helplessly and sighed. “When can you
let me and Lea feel at ease?”
