Chapter 173
Dorothy pushed open the ward door, and inside, there was only Sonia.
Sonia looked at her warily, “Dorothy, what are you here for?”
She stopped by the bed, took a deep breath, and looked calmly at Sonia. “I can let bygones be bygones, we are even now. But I have only one request, do not interfere with Rogelio’s judgment.”
Sonia sneered, tilting her head back and looking down on her, “What do you mean by ‘forgive and forget‘? Have I done something to you? You have to show me the evidence.”
“Besides, your brother kidnapped me and even threatened me. Why shouldn’t I have a say in his sentencing? Are you expecting me to let him off the hook?”
Dorothy also smiled, “Sonia, there are no outsiders now, and I am not recording. We both know the truth, so why pretend.”
Sonia still refused to admit, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, I am the victim, Dorothy, you are threatening me!”
Dorothy’s hand hanging by her side clenched tightly, silent for a few seconds, “I’m not threatening you, I know you want to marry Dwayne, but you can’t get past Aliyah.”
This sentence made Sonia’s face turn pale.
She stared at Dorothy, her eyes almost piercing through her.
Dorothy continued, “Even if I don’t go through you to talk to Dwayne, I will still make sure Aliyah steps in. It doesn’t matter what Dwayne thinks, after all, this isn’t the first time I’ve played the villain.”
“If I let Aliyah come forward, she will definitely know that you have started pursuing her grandson again after returning to the country. Will she allow you to continue staying by Dwayne’s side?”
Sonia gritted her teeth, looking slightly pale, “You have the ability, why come to me? Why not go find that old lady yourself?”
“I was giving you a chance,” Dorothy sat on the companion chair, speaking calmly, “If I were to bring Aliyah into this, could you still be with Dwayne?”
Sonia was speechless.
That old hag despised her so much, and she knew it.
For six years, she had been hoping that “the old man” would die soon, so that no one could stop Dwayne from marrying her.
Who knew that old lady’s life was really long!
Her clenched hand slowly loosened, and she sneered, “Why should I believe you? Don’t think I don’t know that you live wit wayne, I don’t believe you don’t want to be Mrs. Lambert!”
Dorothy was speechless.
Mrs. Lambert?
Did she still think about it?
She had already left.
After a while, Dorothy smiled and said, “I really didn’t want to.”
Sonia stared in disbelief at her, half doubting the letter.
She slowly got up and continued, “In forty–five days, I will be leaving Dewbury, and then no one will stand in your way. Ms. Frazier, I hope you will

consider today’s conversation carefully and give me an answer after careful consideration.”
Without waiting for Sonia to say anything, Dorothy walked out of the ward.
The moment the door closed, Sonia’s face instantly fell, her nails almost sinking into the palm of her hand.
She should have come to beg her in a humble manner, but in the end, Dorothy had an attitude of indifference and even said, “Give her a chance?
She gave her a chance!
Let her go, Rogelio?
Ah, the shame she had suffered, must be returned to him twofold!
Sonia picked up the phone and called Mrs. Lawson, asking her to come to the hospital to discuss important matters.
