Sophia let out a sharp scream and stumbled backward, almost collapsing.Â

“She planned everything,” I said clearly. “The drugging, the pregnancy, marrying you–it was allÂ
for the Brown family’s wealth.”Â
“And you… you humiliated me, tortured me, all for her.”Â

Daniel finally found his voice again. “Hannah, don’t go!”Â
