While Sophia was cursing the imposter, she couldn’t stop her tears from streaming down her face. It seemed that the woman’s words had had a huge impact on her. “Shut up! Shut up!”
If Michael were not restraining her, she would have pounced on the woman and torn her mouth apart.
Seeing that she had successfully enraged Sophia, the imposter felt that she could die with no regrets. Even if she couldn’t survive, she had to make sure that Cooper’s life would be turned upside down, thereby accomplishing the mission her master entrusted her. Her mean words exposed the fragility of the relationship between Sophia and Cooper.
“Do you think Cooper really loves you? No! Just like Annabel, he only loves himself! Whoever gets in his way, he will kill that person, even if that person is his own kid! In his eyes, you are no more important than a pile of dust! Annabel should have been killed a long time ago. It serves her right that she’s infertile! That man had done everything he could to win her heart and acquired everything she desired for her. However, she turned a blind eye when my kid was dying!” The imposter growled, trying to vent her resentment before she were to die. Although she had lost her mind, her hatred was real.
As the imposter was bawling, her face was already covered in tears. She hated the fact that her life had been ruined.
When she was told to imitate Annabel, she executed the order. Firstly, she went under the knife to get her face modified to look exactly like Annabel. Then, she observed her behavior and learned all about her. Also, she took the risk of becoming mute by undergoing vocal cord surgeries to make her voice sound like her.
When Annabel became infertile, she even offered to be her surrogate mother and bore her child. But in the end, she got nothing in return for her favors.
The imposter then laughed maniacally because she felt that the man had loved the wrong woman for all his life. She was also laughing at herself for sacrificing for a man who didn’t love her back. However, she was unwilling to give up because Annabel and her met the man at the same time, but he fell in love with the other one, even though she was the more brilliant one.
Noticing the silence in the room, she came to her senses and lifted her head, only to see that Sophia, who was agitated moments ago, had composed herself. Although there were tears on the corners of her eyes, her expression was as glacial as her father’s.
“Thanks. I’ve learned all I want to know. You shall go to hell now.” With her head tilted, Sophia kept the smile on her face, but her gaze was indifferent. After helping her up, Michael gently brushed the tears off the corners of her eyes.
Sophia’s acting skill had improved significantly under Michael’s guidance, so she easily got the information she needed out of the imposter.
Startled, the imposter knew that she had unwittingly revealed all the secrets. Trying to defend her last bit of dignity, she laughed coldly. “Sophia, now that you’ve figured out that your mother is still alive, I do hope that you’ll find her one day. By then, you’ll understand how despicable your mother is. Hopefully, you’ll still believe that you have the last laugh when that time comes.”
With an impassive expression, Sophia gazed at the imposter without uttering a word. However, Michael noticed that her hands were cold, and her fingers were trembling.
“Alright. It’s time for you to hit the road to hell. Siri, you may do your job now.” After Michael finished talking, he left the study with Sophia, after which the housekeeping robot came into the room and jabbed a needle into the imposter. A short moment later, life left her body as she hit the desk with a resounding thud.
Right before she died, the memories of her life flashed across her mind.
