Chapter 569

"You're lying!" Sophia Sherwood screamed hysterically.

Her trembling finger pointed at Vivian Laurent. "She put you up to this! That woman's an expert at playing innocent. Don't be fooled, Ethan!"

"Vivian never mentioned you." Ethan Roscente's voice was icy. "But you—you've targeted her repeatedly, even resorting to such despicable methods!"

He never imagined his childhood friend could be so vicious.

Regret washed over him like a tidal wave. He should've seen Sophia's true colors sooner. She never should've stayed at Roscente Group this long.

"Ethan!" Sophia's voice trembled. "Vivian's the real viper! Even Sophia Evans with all her tricks fell victim to her schemes. Now she's coming after me! I only acted out of—"

"Sophia Evans?" Ethan's eyes narrowed sharply. "How do you know about her?"

Sophia's face paled.

She stumbled backward. "I...I just heard—"

Ethan was already dialing the bodyguard monitoring Sophia Evans.

The woman answered breathlessly. "Ethan! You finally remembered me!"

"Do you know Sophia Sherwood?" Ethan cut straight to the point.

"Who?" Sophia Evans sounded confused. "I've been behaving...wait, someone did contact me recently—"

The truth became clear.

Ethan hung up and looked at Sophia Sherwood like she was a stranger.

"Sophia Evans confessed everything."

Sophia shook her head wildly. "That's not true! I did it for you! Our twenty years of friendship—"

Vivian approached slowly, a glass of liquid glinting coldly in her hand.

"Since you're so fond of acid," she said softly, "why not experience it yourself?"

Ethan turned silently and walked out.

Sophia backed away in terror, handcuffs clanking. "You wouldn't dare! This is a police station!"

She clutched her face—her most prized asset.
