"It was you! No wonder. I was wondering how would he be fine? Have you been suspicious of me from that moment?"
Queena was a bit angry with what Sophia had said.
"You're still talking so self-righteously about this matter? Don't you feel guilty?"
"What? Why should I feel guilty? When did the old man ever regard me as his daughter after he returned from the army? Although he didn't do anything to me, I still remembered the way he looked at me. I hope that he could give me a little bit of warmth, but he did not even give me a hug. He even didn't let me have his surname. Do you know how painful it was to me at that time?"
Sophia said angrily. It seemed that she could not let go of this matter for so many years.
Queena was so angry that she laughed.
"Perhaps you were not sensible when you were a child, but if you still think like that now, that means that you will be like this for the rest of your life. I don't want to talk too much nonsense with you. In short, everything you have done now is your own fault. You will be punished by the law."
"Do you think you can stop me? I'm afraid that you wouldn't be able to keep me in this house if I summoned my people."
Sophia was quite confident about all of this.
However, Queena sneered and said, "You may be really powerful, but you can't run away from your punishments forever. How long do you think you can play around like that? I have promised my mother that I won't do anything to you as long as you don't do anything illegal. But I can't tolerate you if you turn out as evil as your father. You seem to forget who I used to be."
"Didn't you give up on that life?"
"Yes, but I still have connections. My conscience and loyalty to the country is still there! I am the Xiao family's daughter, and my father is working hard to defend the country. How can I ruin his image? He told me everything before all of you came. Sophia, you hid in Ocean City for so many years for the sake of your terrorist father, right? You can sacrifice your marriage, your son, and even your life for him. But do you know that your father does not want to leave this country with you? Isla contacted your father the moment she was released and she is rushing to the airport now. Your father did not even inform you when he asked her to leave. You have been abandoned by your father and your men outside will no longer have reinforcements. You can't go out."
Queena's words suddenly made Sophia's face turn pale.
"Nonsense! This is impossible!"
"I'm talking nonsense? Do you really think so? Have you ever thought that your father would abandon you one day when you pulled out mother's oxygen tube with your own hands for your father's sake? He has never recognized you as his daughter. He is just taking advantage of you, and he treats you as a shield."
"Stop talking! I don't believe it! I don't believe in a single word you said!"
Sophia suddenly became agitated.
She started to struggle. Just when Mango thought that Sophia couldn't break free, she suddenly untied the rope and even rushed towards Mango at high speed.
"Mango, be careful!"
Queena's was extremely worried.
Although Mango was surprised by Sophia's agility and speed, she still counterattacked and defended herself subconsciously. Then, she quickly retreated after one move.
Mango was simply too shocked and surprised by this.
Sophia, who looked so sick, was so good at martial arts.
Mango didn't have time for anything else because Sophia was already running towards the window.
"Don't run!"
When Mango still wanted to chase after her, Queena stopped her.
"Let her go. She can't escape."
"Mom..." Mango said.
As soon as Mango finished speaking, she saw Sophia jump out and she heard a 'thud' soon after. Mango was so frightened that she hurriedly stepped forward to take a look. However, she saw that Nathaniel had already subdued Sophia with his men.
Behind Nathaniel stood a row of soldiers.
Mango's eyes suddenly became wet.
"Nathan!"
"Are you alright?"
Nathaniel looked at her from outside the window with a worried expression.
Mango quickly shook her head.
Sophia was still struggling. "Let go of me! Do you know who my father is? He is..." "Mom..." Walter said.
Walter walked out of the crowd before Sophia finished speaking.
Sophia was completely stunned when she saw Walter.
"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be at Bontford?"
"Am I supposed to go to Bontford to deliver a letter for you?"
Walter looked at Sophia with terrible heartache and disappointment.
