Chapter 16 

After being bullied for so long, Sophie couldn’t rein in herself anymore. Sophie stared intensely at Jasmine, appearing intimidating and formidable. “Daisy is frail, and Roger is indeed blind. But soon, I won’t be a cripple anymore. They will be able to count on me. What can you do to stop me?” Sophie had never felt such a strong desire to protect someone. From today onward, Sophie would protect Daisy and Roger at all costs. 

Upon seeing Sophie stand on her feet for them, Daisy was shocked. Sh agitated that she wouldn’t speak. 

covered her mouth, so 

Roger’s gaze became extremely profound. Sophie had endured for so long, and unexpectedly, she stood up for him today. Although Roger was strong and didn’t need her protection, at that moment, seeing Sophie with her slender and frail body standing in front of him, emotions rippled through 

him. 

Threatened by Sophie, Jasmine gritted her teeth resentfully. “You? You can’t even protect yourself. Who do you think you can protect?” Jasmine pushed Sophie without thinking. 

Sophie staggered back. She did not fall. A man stood behind her, his warm chest providing the support she needed. Sophie looked up. Roger was there again. Even though Roger couldn’t see, whenever Sophie was in danger, he would appear in the nick of time. 

Sophie felt safe and smirked at Jasmine. “I’ll show you whether I can protect them today.” With that, Sophie glanced at the servant who hadn’t kept an eye on the dog earlier. “Come here.” 

The servant was terrified by Sophie’s gaze. She shivered and hurriedly answered, “M–Mrs. Sophie…” Sensing that something was wrong, the servant was scared and couldn’t speak properly. “What happened? Mrs. Sophie seemed weak and gentle yesterday. Why is her presence so powerful now?” the servant wondered. 

“It’s you who didn’t watch over Million, right? That’s why it ran into the living room and hit me, causing Roger to get injured. It’s all because of your negligence,” Sophic stated. 

As soon as the servant heard Sophie wanted to hold her accountable, she was immediately frightened. She hurriedly found an excuse. “Mrs. Sophie, spare me! I… I didn’t do it on purpose!” 

“Not on purpose?” Sophie glanced coldly at the ball on the ground. “Million only chases after the ball. Who threw the ball just now? By checking the fingerprints on the ball, the police can find out who did it. Why don’t you tell the truth?” 

“Mrs. Sophic!” The servant looked at Sophie in astonishment. Was Sophie going to call the police? Seeing that Sophie was about to accuse her, and she might have to go to jail, the servant was so frightened she glanced at Jasmine. 

Jasmine couldn’t be bothered with the pain in her face and erupted into fury. “What are you

looking at me for?” 

In that instant, everyone present knew who was behind the incident. 

Seeing Jasmine still denying it, Sophie decided to go all the way. “Willard! Since she won’t confess, there’s no need to keep her! Call the police and report her for intentional harm. Tell them that she attempted to murder her employer! File a lawsuit and demand compensation! Intentional harm, at the very least, should get a three–year sentencel‘ 

Willard was surprised by Sophie’s nerve and nodded. “Understood, Mrs. Sophic. His respectful address signaled his acknowledgment of Sophie’s status in the house. 

The servant was frightened. “Mrs. Sophic, please, nol I didn’t mean to harm anyone. I had no choice!” 

“Shut up!” When Jasmine saw that the servant was about to spill the beans, she rushed up, only to pull on her wound. 

Seeing this, Willard acted quickly. He immediately blocked Jasmine and told her, “Mrs. Jasmine, the matter must be clarified, or I have to inform Mr. Norman.” Since someone dared to plot against Roger and Sophie, they must get to the bottom of it. 

With Willard’s intervention, Sophie berated the servant, “Who forced you? If you’re willing to confess, I can let you off, and find you a good job. Otherwise, you can forget about this line of work for the rest of your life!” With just a few sentences, Sophie scared the servant out of her wits. 

Seeing Sophie offering her protection, the servant, afraid of missing the opportunity, nodded immediately. “I–it was Mrs. Jasmine who forced me. She gathered everyone to her courtyard, then told me to secretly open the door, and when you were coming downstairs, throw the ball at you…” 

“You wretched bitch! Shut up!” Unable to bear it any longer, Jasmine kicked the servant and sent her sprawling to the ground. 

The servant let loose a scream. “Mrs. Sophie, save me! Mrs. Jasmine is trying to kill me!” The servant curled up on the ground and shouted exaggeratedly. 

Willard saw Jasmine fly into a rage and quickly intervened again. “Mrs. Jasmine, you’re injured. Go take care of your wound. Let me handle this.” 

“You!” Jasmine was furious but knew she had been exposed. If Willard reported to Norman, she would be in big trouble. 

Sophie looked at Jasmine with a teasing expression. “You injured Roger today, and I returned the favor. Let’s call it even. I won’t complain to Grandpa. But, Aunt Jasmine, remember what I said. If you dare to bully Roger and Daisy again, be careful of your eyes next time!” * 

Her threat startled Jasmine. “You dare to blind me?”

Sophie laughed maniacally. “Who knows? I don’t like it when people keep saying my husband is blind. One day, I might let her experience the same!” 

Sophie’s eyes, at that moment, seemed a bit maniac. The sudden change scared Jasmine, sending shivers down her spine. The cripple must have mental issues. Why else would she have such a crazy thought?” Jasmine thought. 

“Sophie, you’re indeed ruthless. You better watch out!” Jasmine refused to show her fear and, after gritting her teeth, dragged Rebecca away with her. 

As Rebecca left, she couldn’t help but glance back at Sophie. When Rebecca met Sophie’s cold gaze, she felt a chill in her heart. Fortunately, it was Jasmine who clashed with her. Otherwise, Rebecca wouldn’t get any advantage in setting herself against Sophie. Sophie wasn’t someone easy to deal with. 

Seeing them leave, Sophie finally relaxed, feeling a hit weak in the legs. 

Fortunately, Roger supported Sophie and instructed promptly, “Willard, bring the wheelchair.” 

“Yes, sir.” Willard immediately brought the wheelchair over. 

Roger helped Sophie sit down in it, asking with concern, “Tired?” 

Sophie forced a smile. “Yes. If I stand for a long time, I’d still be tired. During her daily rehabilitation, Sophie had to take breaks after walking a few steps. She stood for quite a few minute’s just now. Without Roger’s support, Sophie might not have endured it for so long

“That must be tough. Thank you.” Roger’s tone still carried indescribable worry. 

Willard, who stood at the side, could sense that Roger truly cared for Sophie. 

Sophie, however, cared nothing for herself. She reached out to touch his forehead, and replied, “Compared to what you’ve done for me, it’s not tough at all.”
