Chapter 1854 Sophia's confrontational attitude left Adam speechless. He could not fathom that the manic person in front of him was his daughter. 'How did Sophia cto this?' he thought to himself.
Lilin lost her temper and said angrily, "Enough, Sophia! Haven't you demanded enough from Dad over these years? You're never satisfied with what you have, and we've only reached this point now because you insisted on taking things that don't belong to you! How could you have the audacity to blyour father for this? You should reflect on yourself!" Sophia glared viciously at Lilin and retorted, "You little b*tch! You don't have the right to talk tolike that! I wouldn't have to share Dad's affection with you if you were never born, and he would never have treatedlike this in the first place!" Lilin snorted. "Even if I never cinto this world, Dad would eventually realize you're not worth his care and concern. You're greedy, ungrateful, and selfish!" Sophia seemed to lose her mind at that moment and yelled, "Cover here, you little b*tch! I'm going to teach you a lesson!" She extended her hands through the iron bars and attempted to strangle Lilin.
Melinda reacted just in tand pulled her daughter away from Sophia's reach.
Sophia's slow but sure descent into madness erased the last remaining slivers of pity and tolerance in Adam's eyes. He grabbed a cup of water from a nearby wooden table and splashed it onto Sophia's face. The sudden shock brought her back to her senses.
Adam looked at her disappointedly and said, "It's my fault that you're like this. Accept the consequences you're about to face and try to turn over a new leaf. You don't want to be a menace to society after you're released, do you?" He placed the teapot down and led Melinda and Lilin away. "We're done here." He had assumed that Sophia might feel scared after what happened, but he was wrong. She remained arrogant and failed to recognize her wrongs. Her plan to splash acid on Corinne was not a mere impulse-it stemmed from her unwavering confidence that Adam, her father, would always be prepared to back her up.
Panic finally started to creep in after that cold splash of water shocked Sophia back to her senses. She reached out and pleaded, "Don't go, Dad! You can't leave! You can't abandon your daughter! Help me... I'm... I'm scared." Adam never looked back at her despite her pleas. As soon as he left the police station and got into the car, he was overwhelmed by a strong sense of sadness. He raised his hands to cover his eyes and tried his best to hold back his sobs.
Lilin never witnessed Adam in such a vulnerable state before. She asked cautiously, "Are you okay?" Adam sobbed softly without answering her.
