Chapter 713: Crying
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Jiang An was a little hesitant. “Are you sure you want to do this? She’s your biological mother after all.”
It was not that she wanted to persuade Sophie to forgive her, but it was indeed a little bad to lay hands on someone close to her. A bad reputation was a small matter. It was Sophie who had to face the condemnation of her conscience.
Jiang An was worried that Sophie was just being impulsive now. She would regret it when time passed and it would only be more painful.
Sophie knew what she meant and nodded. “Of course I’ve made up my mind. Mom and the other two uncles are accomplices. If I don’t deal with Mom, I won’t have the right to question anyone else. Besides, I’ve already given Mom a chance before.”
Sophie did not take away their possessions when she sent them out of the palace. They were enough to live a life without worry for the rest of their lives, a life that many ordinary people could only dream of, but they still wanted to kill her.
From that moment on, Sophie knew that these people would never be satisfied. Instead of giving them freedom, it was better to capture them all so that she, Gao Tian, and the child could be safe.
Seeing how determined she was, Jiang An stopped persuading her and said, “I’ll get the secret guards to follow you and ensure that she won’t hurt you.”
Sophie knew how important she was to the country now and couldn’t afford to be willful. “Thankyou,” she agreed.
The meeting place was at a cafe. It used to be Annie’s private property. If she dared to meet Sophie here, she must have made some preparations. At the very least, she could run away if they couldn’t reach an agreement.
Jiang An had blocked her paths in advance. The secret guards went over and searched the place, even finding the tunnel.
“Don’t worry about it for now. We’ll block them when they meet,” Jiang An instructed.
Annie had no idea that the tunnel she thought was hidden had been discovered and was trying to say something to her daughter. She thought Sophie must have wanted her to love her. A child who had been deprived of maternal love since she was young would grow up to crave it vengefully. As long as she could lower herself and cry, she would be able to move her daughter.
However, Sophie was no longer a child. When she was young, she did hope that her parents would love her, just like other ordinary families who could live together and go out.
However, after meeting Gao Tian, her desires were satisfied. When she was in China, she lived in love. After giving birth, she realized even more clearly that her mother really did not love her.
Sophie was a strong person. Now that she knew this, there was no need to cause herself any more pain. She would pretend she had never had a mother.
Before leaving, Gao Tian pulled her back. “Sophie, don’t let yourself be sad no matter what.”
With her lover’s support, Sophie had nothing to be afraid of. When she pushed open the coffee shop door, she exuded a shocking aura. Annie actually saw her father in her.
She suppressed her panic and said with tears in her eyes, “My daughter, Mom has let you down.”
“Then tell me, what did you do to me?” Sophie was unmoved.
Her attitude made Annie a little nervous. Logically speaking, since she had already said so, she should be a little moved, right?
However, since the show had already started, she had to continue acting. Annie continued to cry, “I saw that someone tried to assassinate you on television and only then did I know that Henry and John actually did this. If I had known earlier, I would definitely have informed you in advance. It’s Mom who’s too stupid. I believed they wouldn’t attack their family.”
Sophie felt that she was treating herself as a fool, not knowing that they would attack their family. Then what was going on when the three of them discussed killing the crown prince?
Annie cried very sadly, but the other party did not react for a long time. She looked up and saw her daughter’s mocking gaze.
“Mom, do you think I’ll be touched by your words and bring you back to the royal family?” Sophie’s tone was full of certainty.

Annie quickly shook her head. “I’m not delusional enough to return to the royal family, but you have so many enemies outside now. I have to return to your side to help you.”
“Then I won’t have to trouble you.” Sophie smiled. “I’ll be lucky if you don’t give me any trouble too.”
Annie was a little anxious. “How can you think of me like that? After all, I’ve been a princess for so many years. I know how to help you.”
Listening to Annie’s feigned ignorance, Sophie couldn’t help but raise her hand. “Alright, I don’t want to waste time talking about these useless topics with you. I know that you wanted to kill me with them. Stop acting here.”
Annie was still hoping that Sophie was just guessing and did not have any real evidence. She continued to cry. “They used my name to do that. You’re my only daughter. How could I do anything to you? You can’t be deceived.”
