Chapter 1599

As she was about to leave, Sophia felt a gust of wind blow past her, prompting her to glance towards the balcony.

Hadnt she shut the balcony door tight? Why was there now a sliver of an opening?

“Marcus, why is the balcony door open again?” She asked as a hint of suspicion crept into her eyes.

Marcus paused and glanced towards the balcony. “The room felt stuffy, so I cracked the door open for some fresh

air.”

Sophia looked at Marcus. “You’re sick. You shouldn’t be catching a draft. You should close it.”

Marcus nodded. “I will in a bit. You go ahead.”

Sophia didn’t say anything more. Her gaze lingered on the balcony door before she turned to leave.

After Sophia left, Marcus closed the room door and then glanced towards the balcony.

It was silent. The little lady was gone,

He then lowered his gaze to his open palm, where two pills that he hadn’t actually swallowed lay.

Sophia seemed to have noticed something. He should warn her to avoid visiting him unless necessary. Although he

did enjoy seeing her.

He had no memories of her, but seeing her improved his mood.

Sophia left her suite and headed to her father’s. A nagging feeling about Marcus’ balcony door persistently weighed

on her mind.

Marcus had also locked the door to his room. He was acting suspicious.

As soon as she arrived at her father’s suite, Bertha was there with a plate of fruit. “Sophia, would you like some

fruit?” She asked gently. Sophia looked at the fruit plate and rolled her eyes at Bertha without uttering a word,

heading inside to find her father.

Bertha was a bit helpless, but she was used to Sophia’s rejection.

While Bertha didn’t mind, her young daughter Lea did.

After seeing her mother being ignored by Sophia, Lea crossed her arms and said, “Mom, she’s so rude! Don’t

bother with her next time!”

Bertha looked at her daughter. “Lea, whatever your sister does, it’s directed at me, not you. Don’t let my issues

with your sister affect you. Understand?”

Lea wasn’t happy with her mother’s submissive attitude. “Who’s got issues with her? I wouldn’t stoop to her level.”

Bertha frowned. “What do you mean by that? What kind of person is your sister?”

Lea snorted. “We all know what kind of person she is. To get a man who doesn’t love her, she would do whatever it

takes. She even ruined his life and broke up his family to satisfy her desires. I can’t mess with such a frightening

woman. I’m afraid she might ruin my life next.”

Bertha knew that what her daughter said was true. Her face fell; she was feeling very conflicted.

Sophia was the person her husband cared about the most. His peace of mind relied on Sophia’s happiness.

And she, being deeply in love with Thaddeus, also wanted him to be happy and at peace.

Sophia’s actions were indeed excessive. She ruined a perfectly good family. But it was already done, and neither

she nor Lea could change anything about that.

All they could do was silently pray for Marcus’ old girlfriend, hoping that she could find happiness again.
