Chapter 54

• "You cannot make informed decisions with only a fraction of the facts. A substantial portion of your life is shrouded in darkness. A judge will likely appoint me as your guardian, whether you agree or not, given my oversight of your assets. Your social standing and wealth will expedite the process, Sophia. Our family's prominence will add urgency to the situation. This is done with your best interests at heart, and it aligns with my duty as your relative. As someone who witnessed your growth and determination, your sacrifices to achieve success," Leon outlines, emphasizing the necessity of his intervention for Sophia's benefit.
• "You swoop in with your wealth and influence, dismantling everything she has painstakingly built here. You may label it as caring, but if she was content in her previous life, what drove her to drive off a cliff?" Glenda's demeanor shifts, her gaze icy as she challenges both men, pointing out a fact they cannot refute and hinting at the notion of suicide. Her slip is notable, suggesting knowledge beyond what she should possess, considering Sophia's selective disclosure to the doctor following the incident.
• Leon appears momentarily taken aback, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features as he hesitates to respond. The internal battle within him becomes evident, reflected in his tense brow and jaw.
