Contract Marriage With Mysterious President novel Chapter 223

When Sophia and William entered the house, they saw Grandma Eva and Addy sitting in the living room. Halbert and Cathy were also there waiting for them.

"Grandma Eva, Auntie, Mom, and Dad, what are you doing here?" Sophia was puzzled, seeing that everyone looked very serious.

"Sit down," Cathy asked them to sit down first.

Halbert looked at Sophia with disdain, making Sophia more confused.

"Tell me, why did you apologize to Amy on TV and in the newspapers? And what's going on with the video that posted online?" Halbert questioned Sophia in a serious tone.

At this moment, Sophia's heart beat faster. She thought she was over. Everything she did was known by the family. What should she do? If they knew that she provoked Amy first, they would definitely scold her.

Sophia decided to make the move first, so she pretended to cry out immediately.

"Please let me explain. When I saw Amy Miller, she said she was Amy Newell. I don't care what her name is. She is one of the members of our family, right? I wanted to persuade her to go home. However, not only did she not appreciate it, but she even scolded me. I wanted her to come back, so I apologized to her in front of the public. How did I know that she was so ungrateful? She knew my intention and then humiliated me." The louder Sophia cried, the sadder she became as if she said the truth.

"Did you persuade Amy to go home? And she refused you?" Halbert felt it very strange. When he saw Amy, she didn't call him father. Instead, she called him Mr. Carter. It didn't look like she faked it, actually, she seemed to have lost her memory.

"Yes, I told her that we all missed her and persuaded her to go home to see you and Grandma Eva, but she said that I was crazy. She said she already had a new family and would never return to the Carter's again." Sophia deeply immersed herself into her own story, trying to vent all the grievances she had suffered.

At this moment, Halbert and Cathy were all in silence.

Back then, when Stephen passed away, they did not come to the hospital to see him in the first place. However, after hearing the news, they already rushed to the hospital as fast as they could. But Amy had never appeared. It had been five years since she left. Why did she be angry with them?

"So that's how it is. Forget it if she doesn't want to come back. The incident that happened back then was such a disturbing thing that even made Allison lose her child. There is still a sore spot in my heart. It's better if she doesn't want to come back. If you see her again in the future, just take her as a stranger. Don't ask for humiliation from her again." When Grandma Eva heard what Sophia said, she trusted Sophia without any doubt.

"Grandma Eva, I just think that we are a family. Richard has been so sad after she left, which makes us all feel heartbroken. I think Richard will be happy if she comes back. If Richard is happy, then everyone in our family will be happy as well." Sophia said as if she was a kind-hearted "angel".

William hugged the crying Sophia tightly. He had always hated Amy, and now he hated her even more. It was fine if she didn't come back. His wife tried her best to persuade Amy to come back, but in the end, Sophia had fallen for Amy's trap.

"Darling, I know you're very kind, but don't interfere in such matters in the future. Obviously, it's thankless. Don't cry. It is bad for you." Although William already had a mistress outside, he still liked Sophia very much. Sophia was beautiful and was a pure girl since she married him. Although she was not a smart girl, he just liked her to be like this.

"William, I feel that I have ruined everything. She asked me to apologize to her, so I did it. But she now still wants to ruin me; my reputation is ruined by her." Sophia said to William.

"Alright. It's alright. We just wondered why you apologized to Amy in the newspaper and on TV. It turns out that you did this for our family. You are really a good wife." Grandma Eva comforted Sophia. Sophia did deserve more allowance; after all, Sophia cared about the family.

"I have long known that Amy would bring bad luck to the family. Her father went bankrupt. A woman from a small family like her isn't worth us paying attention to." Grandma Eva still didn't know Amy's background, she had always thought that Amy was from an insolvent family.

Halbert wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say. As for why Amy had become the president of the Newell Group, he still hadn't figured it out.

Cathy just heard that Amy had returned. She had never seen her, so she did not know if what Sophia said was true, so Cathy did not refute Sophia as well.

Seeing that the entire family was supporting her, Sophia felt that she was a really good liar, and was getting smarter and smarter now. She even could confront Amy all by herself.

Sure enough, after the conversations, the food in the family was getting better and better. Grandma Eva knew that the people in this family were very picky. Although it was hard for her, she still spent a lot of money every day for the family. As long as the people in the family came back often, she would feel very happy. Perhaps the family was always the first thing that the older cared for.

However, two men made Grandma Eva very concerned. One was Jacob, who seemed to be very obsessed with Allison, and never took other women into his eyes.

The other one was Richard. He was such an outstanding man, but he was so obsessed with Amy. How could the boys in the Carter family be all love fools?

"Why haven't I seen Richard recently? What does he do every day?" Grandma Eva looked at Halbert and asked him.

During these five years, Halbert was afraid that Richard would commit suicide, so Halbert always kept an eye on him. Halbert would accompany Richard to work and took Richard back home every day.

However, he had rarely seen Richard lately.

"He's in the office; he's very busy recently. He works overtime often." Halbert told Grandma Eva. In fact, he wasn't lying either. What he said was true. Richard did go to work, but he worked at Amy's company.

"This is a good thing that he focuses on the work. He finally realizes that he shouldn't always do something stupid for a woman." Grandma Eva thought that Richard was working in HD Group. She was quite happy that Richard had realized what was important to himself now.

Halbert didn't explain too much. He knew that if he said Richard went to the Newell Group, Grandma Eva would definitely go to the Newell Group to make some trouble. If that was the case, Richard would definitely get furious.

Hearing that Richard had returned to HD Group, William felt a little nervous.

The branch company had not been audited for the past five years. He thought that Richard would no longer be the president in the future, so he was getting more and more greedy. However, he misunderstood that Richard had returned to HD Group. He was very concerned that Richard would definitely audit the accounts. What could he do?
