Chapter 516
Lucas looked at Claire’s shocked and bewildered eyes and cruelly smirked.
He didn’t care if his following words would enrage her to death. That woman is just a slut who slept with countless men. How could she possibly carry my child! You’ve been deceived. Are you satisfied now? My hands and feet are crippled, and the Taylor family lineage is completely cut off.”
“I refuse to believe it!” Claire roared hoarsely. She had yearned for a grandson for so many years, even entertaining thoughts of sacrificing her son to ensure the safety of a grandson. “Are you lying to me? Just because I despised you and didn’t want to save you, did you make up this lie to hurt

If Lucas could have moved, he would have pushed Claire away. After all that, he had no deed to lie to her. “I had ruined my body over the years. Doctors said I was infertile. Did you think I could have gotten that woman pregnant?”
Claire screamed, falling from the bedside and landing heavily on the floor. The blow was devastating for her. The entire world had collapsed around her, and she couldn’t see any meaning in living. “Oh my God, why are you doing this to me? Why?”
Lucas watched as Claire pounded her chest in anguish, showing no trace of pity or sympathy on his face. After silence, he asked, “You just said you sent Sophia to Jason’s bed, and Jason agreed to save me?”
When Claire heard Sophia’s name, it struck her like a thunderbolt, and deep–seated hatred flashed in her eyes. “It’s that bitch Sophia. She must have instigated Jason to cripple you. She initially
proposed it, and she already knows her true identity. To retaliate against us, she must have instructed Jason”
Lucas looked up at the ceiling and smiled in a sinister way. He thought, Jason Wilson! Sophia Taylor! I would make yo
you pay the price!”
Claire couldn’t bear the thought of her son being crippled and losing her grandson. Overcwith emotion, she screamed uncontrollably in the ward. Soon after, the stress caused her to faint.
The rumors about Sophia having an affair with Nathan continued to escalate.

Eventually, the couple’s arguments escalated to the point where they almost filed for divorce at City Hall.

Faced with no choice, Nathan reluctantly broke his promise and revealed Sophia’s identity as a renowned doctor to Ariana.
After learning the truth, Ariana calmed down. However, asking her to drop her knees and apologize to Sophia was entirely out of the question for her
Nathan couldn’t persuade her, so he went alone to Preston Hospital to talk to Sophia.
Sophia focused all her energy on finding Timothy’s whereabouts, ignoring everything else and shutting herself away. She wasn’t a saint and couldn’t forgive Ariana’s defamation easily. From the start, she made it clear if Ariana wanted her back, she must cand drop her knees to apologize.
If Ariana couldn’t even do that why should Sophia bear the pressure of taking on such a contentious situation?
It was okay if Caleb was saved. If he wasn’t, the Harper family would torn her apart alive.
The ward’s door was knocked for the fifth time, and Sophia spoke coldly. “Aaron, tell Mr. Harper that adults should take responsibility for their words. Until I see genuine sincerity from Mrs. Harper, I won’t visit the Harper family. Tell him to go back.”
As she finished speaking, the door swung open, and a familiar voice said, “Sophie, it’s me.”
