Chapter 155 Revelations and Regrets
If Colin had to marry someone else, Sophia hoped he would take Leila as his wife.
But Leila didn't agree, she wanted Sophia to get back with Colin. She had heard another piece of
distressing news. "Colin has chosen to marry Dorothy Lien."
Sophia's world shattered. The shock was too much for Sophia to bear. Feeling her legs weaken, she
fell to her knees.
Leila and Justina quickly caught her in time. Leila frowned and raised her voice. "Sophia Lo! Don't you
want to avenge your parents? How can you avenge them if you're so vulnerable! You let me down,
Sophia Lo!"
"Please don't, Miss Ji... Sophia's condition isn't good. There have been signs of a possible
miscarriage." Justina gently persuaded Leila. She couldn't bear to see Sophia suffer. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Taking a deep breath, Leila continued,"I didn't mean to hurt you, Sophia. But you have to know that
your name is taboo in A Country. Colin forbids everyone from mentioning it in his presence. Do you
have any idea how much he hates you?"
Everyone in A Country knew that Sophia Lo had disappeared, so had her ex-boyfriend, Payne Tai.
Rumour had it that they eloped together.
"What can I do? Everything seems beyond repair..." Sophia grabbed the handrail beside her to steady
herself.
Leila revealed her purpose for coming over. "When the baby is born, seek the Hang clan's help. We'll
do everything we can to get you back with Colin."
"The Hang clan? Why would the Hang clan help me?" Sophia was puzzled.
"Do you remember my mother? Sandra Hang, she's actually your aunt. Your mother was also a
member of the Hang clan. I'm your cousin, Sophia." Leila always had a feeling that she had seen
Sophia somewhere before. Now she realized that Sophia looked a lot like her aunt.
Sophia's eyes widened in shock. "Miss Ji... Did I hear it wrong?"
"No, you heard me right. My mother had a little sister called Adelaide Hang, and she was your birth
mother. She passed away when you were one and a half years old. After her death, your father married
Julia Qiao, your foster mother."
Leila's words sounded familiar. It reminded Sophia of the story Colin had told her when they met
Sandra...
"You're saying that... your mother had a sister, who was disowned by the Hang clan for eloping with
someone for love. But the guy fell in love with someone else, and she died from depression..."
"Yes."
Leila's confirmation turned Sophia's face paler.
She remembered Colin asking her,"If you were the daughter of Sandra's sister, would you forgive
Sandra?"
Thinking about it now, could she truly forgive the woman who indirectly killed her foster mother? Even if
Sandra had changed her mind, her previous actions helped the killer...
Leila kept talking, but Sophia didn't hear another word.
When Leila was gone, Sophia stumbled back to her room. She lay in her bed and stared at the ceiling
as she digested the news that Leila told her.
She never imagined that so many innocent people would get involved in her revenge plan. She never
meant to hurt any of the people she loved. Everything she did reflected nothing but ingratitude.
Her disappearance brought nothing but shame to Colin and the entire Li clan.
And the scandal even undermined Levi's status...
Sophia couldn't help thinking about the other piece of news that Leila had told her. Her birth mother
was apparently the younger daughter of the Hang clan, Adelaide Hang. Julia Qiao was actually her
foster mother. And she had two cousins, June and Leila Ji.
But her birth mother's sister, her aunt, indirectly killed her foster mother. Although Jonas and Gregary
drew the knife, Sandra participated in the crime.
Now, her cousin had told her that she could seek the Hang clan for help. That Leila and Sandra would
convince the clan to take Sophia in.
Then they would aid her in restoring her marriage with Colin...
Sophia closed her eyes. Everything was so overwhelming. For a moment, she wished she could have a
good night's sleep, and never wake up again...
She was a sinner.
She had hurt Colin and the entire Li clan.
She didn't deserve a quick death for her actions.
When did she lose control of everything? When she found a prostitute with syphilis, she only wanted to
get revenge on Payne Tai. She was too blindsided with hatred, that she didn't even think of the
consequences if her plan failed. She meant to have Cora approach Payne. She even imagined that
Payne and Dorothy would divorce because Cora got pregnant with Payne's child...
But in the end, nothing went as planned. Payne and Dorothy got divorced as she wanted, but at what
cost? She ended up destroying everything she had, and hurting everyone who loved her...
Sophia felt regretful for not listening to Colin. She regretted refusing his help and keeping him in the
dark. She should've waited for him before executing her revenge...
She missed Colin so much. She had no idea how she could get him back.
Curling up into a ball under the sheets, Sophia fell asleep.
When she was five and a half months pregnant, Sophia plucked a hibiscus flower from the yard and
raised it into the air. The lilac petals looked transparent against the sunlight, and looked particularly
beautiful.
The beautiful scene was enchanting in Herring's eyes.
He meant to confront Sophia during his visit. But he couldn't help being dumbstruck at the sight of the
smiling woman in a blue maternity dress. She was holding a hibiscus flower up against the sun, her
long hair floating in the air.
He couldn't understand how a charming woman like Sophia could choose to betray his friend.
When Sophia prepared to move to the backyard garden, she spotted Herring through the iron gate.
The smile on her face immediately fell. She shot Herring a panicked look, wondered the purpose of his
visit.
The butler seemed to know that Herring was coming, and opened the gate for him while Sophia was in
a daze.
"Sophia Lo!" Herring had dyed his hair from blonde to wine red, making him look different.
Since she had divorced with Colin, Sophia was no longer Herring's equal. She nodded politely in
greeting. "Mr. Huo."
Herring raised his eyebrows. He stood in front her and put his hands in the pockets of his trousers.
"I heard you were the one who filed for divorce."
Sophia nodded despite her confusion.
"How could I have not noticed that you were such an ungrateful wife? Colin did everything for you. He
used a lot of manpower and resources to find the culprit who ripped your family apart.
To please you, he kept calling me every day to ask me how to please a woman. He personally bought
and arranged the roses he had given you, because he wanted to give you something he made by
himself. Even when you betrayed him, he was willing to endure what no man could stand, just to stay
with you.
Sophia Lo, how could you betray him after everything he's done for you? How could you be so
heartless? How could you be so ungrateful?"
'How could you be so ungrateful?' Herring's words made Sophia's nonchalant mask suddenly collapse.
But she didn't say anything. Sophia remained quiet as her face turned pale.
"I'm sorry, did I offend you? I haven't even started yet. I have no obligation to consider your feelings. I
know you're pregnant, but the bastard you're carrying has no relation to me or my friend. Because of
you and that bastard, my friend is suffering great difficulties alone, and you have the nerve to do
nothing about it. If not for him, do you really think I'd come over and talk to you?"
After a long pause, Sophia finally replied. "It's not a bastard."
