The year Zoey and Claire graduated, I was still only halfway through my journey–medical school required eight years of study for both a bachelor’s and master’s degree!
At that point, Claire had become a well–known short video influencer with over ten million followers, while Zoey had successfully gotten pregnant.
We exchanged a look and smiled.
“Let’s have the showdown at the graduation ceremony,” I said.
On graduation day, Sophie took the stage as the most outstanding graduate.
She was even more dazzling than before.
I heard the set of pink diamonds she wore was worth millions, and it was an engagement gift from Jonathan. She had signed with a TV station and was engaged to a top–tier heir.
At that moment, she had it all.
It was then that Zoey showed the two videos to Jonathan’s parents.
Immediately, their faces changed. They left the ceremony with the Lewis brothers, cutting the event short.
Zoey followed them out, but not before giving Claire and me a reassuring look.
Soon after, Edward was arrested by the police for allegedly orchestrating and inciting the kidnapping case. He insisted that Sophie was only six years old at the time and that she had no knowledge of it.
Reed Group was completely absorbed by Lewis Group.
With that, Sophie was no longer a wealthy heiress.
To our surprise, Jonathan still wanted to marry Sophie.
But according to Zoey, the relationship between the Lewis brothers and Sophie was now a complex web of love, hate, and tortured emotions. The harmonious trio from before was no
more.
It made sense–Sophie had once saved their lives and was their savior. Even though she had now revealed her calculating nature, the deep bond forged over more than a decade of being by their side was hard to shake off.
But in terms of emotions, the dynamics had shifted.
Sophie’s mentality was starting to unravel, and it was clear she was teetering on the edge of madness.
The three of them became more reckless with time, and the Lewis brothers eventually lost the
