"Don''t put all your eggs in one basket and end up with nothing. Make sure Mr. Wilson truly loves you before you decide on a divorce."


    Sophia nodded, her eyes shining with happiness. "Mr. Wilson and I have been together for over twenty years. Our connection is very deep. He''s sorting out his assets right now. It''s over between him and Mrs. Wilson. I''m the only one he loves. Let me put it this way: I''ve always been the one he''s loved."


    "I originally hoped your father would get everything from Wendy, but it''s even better that you did. Your father is selfish and vain, obsessed with his image but with no ability to back it up. Living with him is exhausting."


    "The reason I got together with Mr. Wilson all those years ago was to create an exit strategy for myself. I wanted to ensure I could escape a life I hated at any time and have the power to choose how I wanted to live."


    “So, Joanna, the only reason I waited for your father was that I didn''t want you to be an illegitimate child."


    Joanna understood what she meant, but it still hurt.


    She choked up. "But Mom, I still ended up as one."


    Sophia''s heart ached to see her daughter''s pain. "It''s okay, Joanna. I''ve already gotten revenge for you. Things are looking up now. Even without Wendy, your talent will ensure you have a great life."


    Thinking of her recent sesses, Joanna managed a smile that reached her eyes.


    "Yeah," she murmured. "Mom, now that your problem is sorted out, we need to deal with mine. I can''t keep the baby."


    Sophia''s head throbbed. "Why couldn''t it have been Sebastian''s baby?"


    Joanna felt a surge of anger. Sebastian wouldn''t even touch her.


    A cold sneer crossed her lips. “Sebastian can''t perform."


    Sophia was taken aback. "What do you mean, he can''t perform?”


    Joanna summarized her experiences. Sebastian had always been good to her and taken care of her. She had tried to seduce him countless times, but he never responded.


    He always remained cool and distant.


    She''de to one conclusion: he was impotent.


    "Maybe his parents messed him up, but he has no interest in women. I could sit on hisp and he wouldn''t react at all.”


    Sophia was speechless.


    Joanna just wanted to get rid of the baby now and n everything elseter.


    "Mom, can you take me somewhere else for the procedure? News of it can''t get


    out."


    Of course, Sophia had a solution.


    She said, "Let''s go. I''ll take you


    today. We''ll go to a small ind


    where no one wa recognize you. We


    won''t even need to pay any hush money."


    She wouldn''t let her daughter''s future be ruined now.


    Joanna knew that her mother would be able to figure something out, a way to do it without leaving any evidence.


    The two of them gathered their things and prepared to leave.


    Outside the door, Nathan slipped away silently.


    Downstairs, his eyes were filled with murderous rage. He had been loyal to Sophia, but she was going to abandon him for that bastard Wilson


    And the daughter he had cherished her whole life was just using him as a stepping stone. His whole life was a joke.


    "Hah..." Nathan let out a cold, bitterugh. There were tears in his eyes, but they were crocodile tears.


    He stared at snow in


    "Sop the blindingly white e distance and met


    "Sophia, you think you can get rid of me for five million In your dreams.


    Standing in the cold wind, a more vicious n began to form in his mind.
