Chapter 25

“The driver died,” the police informed Sofia as she sat in the living room. of the mansion. The incident still left her shaken, and hearing that the driver had actually died made her heart jump. Her hands started trembling.

Seeing this, Charlotte immediately grabbed Sofia’s hand, but she pushed Charlotte’s hand without having second thoughts.

“Sis-”

“How?” Sofia ignored Charlotte’s reaction.

“We are investigating this matter, but our initial findings suggest that he was already unconscious before he hit your car- in fact, the reason he hit your car might be because he lost consciousness.”

Sofia’s heart raced; her palms started sweating. For some reason, she could not believe that this was just an accident. The fact that the driver died means something else is going on here.

Sadly, she does not know what it is.

“We will let you know once we come up with something,” the police said.

“Sister, you should stay here. I know you are too shaken up to drive,” Charlotte said. “I believe Father already asked the maids to prepare your

room.”

For a while, Sofia said nothing. She couldn’t help but think about the driver of that car. He was a man in his late forties or perhaps early fifties. He must have had a family, perhaps a wife, kids, and maybe even grandkids. She swallowed.

When she said nothing, Charlotte tried to speak. Again, she was trying to convince Sofia to stay.

Without saying a word, she got up and started walking outside. “Where are you going?” Lawrence asked. He swiftly blocked her way. “If you think I will let you drive while you are in this state, then you are wrong. You need to stay, Sofia.”

Again, Sofia said nothing. Instead, she turned towards Lawrence, her gaze blank. “A car is already waiting for me outside.” Then she slowly pushed him away and left the mansion without saying another word.

The moment she got out of the mansion, she immediately saw the black Volvo waiting for her. She got into the Volvo, and the car immediately left. the mansion.
