Chapter 77 - 77 77 She Doesn't Want Such a Father Anymore
77: Chapter 77 She Doesn’t Want Such a Father Anymore 77: Chapter 77 She Doesn’t Want Such a Father Anymore When Sophie Parker saw the surveillance footage on Emily Parker’s mobile phone, she had an ominous premonition.
Sure enough, when she clearly saw the video on the phone, Sophie Parker turned pale with fright.
By then, it was too late for her to stop Emily.
Emily had already handed the phone to the police officers, who immediately started checking it.
This footage was taken backstage.
In the video, they could clearly see a woman sneaking up to a wardrobe when no one else was backstage.
She opened the wardrobe and took a bottle of medicine out of her pocket.
Then she sprinkled the powder from the bottle onto the clothes.
Just as she turned around, another female contestant appeared behind her.
The two exchanged a few words, and their conversation was also recorded.
The hospital room fell silent as a tomb.
Adam Willow’s face was full of astonishment.
Mrs.
Parker, who had previously been harsh, now suddenly fell silent, like a chicken being strangled.
From the video and the conversation, the police realized that the two women in the surveillance footage were contestants in the Capital’s ambassador selection.
The one who drugged was called Sophie Parker, and the other was Rainny White.
Sophie Parker was the contestant lying in the hospital bed, and she was the one crying “thief” while being a thief herself.
The police, holding the phone, asked Emily what was the matter with the video on the phone.
“I heard before participating in the competition that such events could involve dirty tricks.
Just in case, I installed a hidden camera at my spot.
I didn’t expect someone would actually make a move against me, and that person turned out to be my own sister,” Emily said with a hint of irony.
Everything was now clear as day.
Emily and Sophie had lived together for many years, and Emily knew all too well about Sophie’s temperament.
Since they were young, Sophie often used mean tricks to frame Emily, like placing mice and snakes in her wardrobe and drawers, and tearing up her books.
In the past, Emily had tolerated it.
But ever since leaving the Parker Family, Emily decided not to endure Sophie’s actions any longer.
“Emily.
Sophie is your sister, she certainly didn’t mean it, she just wanted to play a joke on you.”
Mrs.
Parker hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Emily scoffed,
“When she poured the powder on my clothes, she never thought that I am her sister.
If I hadn’t been cautious, today it could have been me lying on this hospital bed.”
Emily then said to the police,
“Officer, please handle this case fairly.”
The police walked up to Sophie Parker’s hospital bed.
“Sophie, we currently suspect you are involved in a poisoning incident.
We need to take you back to the police station for further investigation.”
Mrs.
Parker was startled and rushed in front of the officers, pleading,
“Officer, there must be some misunderstanding, my daughter wouldn’t do such a thing.
That video must be fake.
Don’t be deceived by Emily.”
“Whether it’s real or fake, we will verify the evidence back at the police station,” the police said professionally.
“My husband is Henry Parker, you must know Henry Parker from the health organization.”
“Madam, we handle our cases impartially.
Please save your explanations until your daughter is with us at the police station.”
Seeing that the police were unmoved and determined to arrest her, Sophie began to panic; she quickly turned to Adam with a pleading look,
“Brother Adam, please help me.
I don’t want to go to the police station.
I haven’t graduated yet; if I go to the police station, I could likely be expelled.”
Adam Willow sighed and then approached the police.
He informed them that Sophie Parker had just gotten out of critical condition due to a severe allergic reaction.
But she still needed to stay in the hospital for observation, and if the investigation required cooperation, it would have to wait until Sophie Parker’s condition stabilized.
The police had no choice but to start taking a statement from Sophie Parker.
Emily Parker stepped out of the hospital room, and Adam Willow quickly followed her.
“Emily, I didn’t know Sophie would treat you this way, I apologize on her behalf.”
“Adam Willow, I don’t care for your apologies.”
Emily said, and walked away without looking back.
Emily reached the elevator, remembering that the Old Master and Carlos were still waiting for her in the hospital garden.
She was about to go to the garden when her phone rang.
Glancing at the caller ID, it was Father Parker.
A cold glint flashed in Emily’s eyes as she answered the call.
“I’ve heard about what happened between you and Little Sophie.
It was Little Sophie who was in the wrong this time, just think of it as her making trouble without reason.
She’s young and sometimes naive in her actions.
But no matter how much you quarrel, it’s still a family matter.
Why did you have to bring it to the police station?
Withdraw the case immediately.
We may be shameless, but the Parker family still cares about face.”
On the other end of the phone, Father Parker’s voice was very stern.
Emily held the phone, her palm icy cold.
“Emily, did you hear me?”
“I heard.”
Emily’s voice was cold.
Every time she had conflict with Sophie from childhood, Father Parker always asked her to give in to Sophie.
Father Parker said, Emily, as the elder sister, should always make concessions to the younger.
She had been obedient before, always yielding.
“I can withdraw the case, but this is the last time.
From now on, there is no relation between you, me, and the Parker family.”
Saying this, Emily directly hung up the phone.
As a child, after losing her mother, she was sent to the Capital, hoping to receive fatherly love.
But she waited so many years and never received that love.
Since that was the case, she no longer wanted this father.
In the hospital corridor, Adam Willow stood still, standing for quite a while before he turned back to the hospital room.
Inside the room, Sophie Parker was now calling Father Parker.
Not sure what Father Parker said, but Sophie Parker suddenly burst into tears of joy.
Seeing Adam Willow enter, she quickly hung up the phone, and then signaled to Mrs.
Parker who then left the room.
“Little Sophie, I didn’t think you were this kind of person.
I always thought you were just a simple college girl,
capable of something as sinister as poisoning.
Let’s break up.”
Adam Willow’s gaze was cold.
“Brother Adam, I was just confused.”
Hearing this, Sophie Parker’s face changed drastically.
She quickly got out of the hospital bed, holding Adam Willow’s hand tightly,
“We can’t break up.”
She wanted to marry Adam Willow; how could he break up with her.
“Brother Adam, I really love you.
I know I’ve done wrong before.
I will listen to you in everything from now on.”
Sophie Parker cried pitifully.
Adam Willow thought of how well Sophie got along with his mother and sister, and besides, Sophie was indeed smart, came from a good family, and even knew how to trade stocks.
Compared to that, Emily had even lost her job…
Adam Willow softened again.
After a while, he sighed,
“I’ll forgive you this one last time, but you can’t do such foolish things anymore.”
What do you think?
