Chapter 1714
Lea looked at her silent father. “Dad, you can’t agree, can you? Then just go home.”
Thaddeus furrowed his brows at his wife and daughter. “Why would you two ask something like this? What good
does it do you to have Marcus leave Sophia?”
Bertha was at a loss for words.
Lea, with an air of righteousness, said, “There’s no advantage for us, but it’s only fair for Marcus. Dad, you know
very well that Marcus isn’t a Rogers. He’s a Blanchet.
Back then, Sophia insisted on stealing him away, causing Marcus to lose his memory. She then gave him a new
name, deceiving him into thinking he and Sophia were a married couple.

high time it ended.”
Thaddeus became infuriated as he listened to his daughter bring up what was now an uncomfortable family secret.
“Enough! These matters are not to be discussed any longer. As it stands, Marcus is part of our family. He’s my
brother-in-law, and his past is no longer relevant.”
Lea looked at her father in disappointment. “So, you’re saying that you won’t agree to the request Mom has
made?”
“Agree to what?! You’re just a child. Don’t meddle in this and encourage your mother’s unreasonable demands.”
Lea huffed. “What’s unreasonable? Isn’t everything I said true? Dad, you’re just too protective of Sophia, to the
point where you can’t differentiate between right and wrong. That’s what Mom and I hate the most about you!”
Thaddeus frowned and ignored the young girl. He looked up at his wife and said, “Bertha, she doesn’t understand.
Please don’t join in the fuss. Come on, let’s go home.”
Bertha felt a sense of powerlessness in Thaddeus’ eyes. “I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I genuinely hope
you could consider allowing Marcus to return to his real family so they can be reunited. Let’s stop causing more
harm.”
Thaddeus simply couldn’t comprehend this. “What do those people and their issues have to do with us? I just want
our family to be happy. Bertha, you know very well that Sophia can’t live without Marcus. You’re forcing me to let
Marcus go now? Isn’t this pushing Sophia towards a dead end?”
Bertha disagreed. “Even without Marcus, Sophia will live just fine. Don’t you understand your own daughter? She’s
never neglected herself. She loves herself too much to die for anyone. From my perspective, she doesn’t love
Marcus. It’s all about possession and conquest. If she truly loved someone, how could she bear to torment him and
leave him in a wheelchair?

You’ve spoiled Sophia too much. From a young age, you’ve indulged her every whim without regard for right and
wrong. That’s actually harmed her mentality.
If you don’t stop her now, one day she will encounter something or someone she can’t have, and that’s when she’ll
resort to extremes and make a huge mistake.”
“Enough! Stop talking!” Thaddeus was frustrated. “Sophia is my daughter. As a father, why wouldn’t I help my own
child?”
Bertha was equally disappointed. “If that’s the case, you should go. I won’t return home to aid and abet this.”
Thaddeus sat back on the sofa, pulling out his phone to call his assistant waiting outside. “Come back and grab my
luggage. I’m staying here.”
Bertha was irritated. “This is my friend’s house, and you’re not welcome here. Please leave immediately!”
Lea joined in. “Yes! Please leave my mom’s friend’s house immediately. We don’t welcome geezers who can’t
differentiate between right and wrong!”
