Chapter 267 A Sharp Glance

Sophia was trying to sound tough, but Emily could see the tears in her eyes and the redness at the corners.

Sophia was trembling all over, shaking like a leaf. That fear hit Emily hard; she remembered feeling the same way, abandoned and let down time and again.

Emily looked up and saw Sophia still crying, curled up on the ground with nowhere to hide.

"Get up," Emily said, her voice cutting through the air.

Sophia looked up to see Emily reaching out a hand, stepping closer.

Unable to hold back her pain any longer, Sophia snapped. "Emily, I don't need your

fake kindness! Save your pathetic act for your mom and Michael!"

As expected, Sophia rejected her kindness outright. Emily was ready for this; she knew Sophia wasn't worth her pity.

She just saw a bit of her old self in Sophia and felt sorry for her out of habit.

But Sophia misunderstood, thinking Emily was being fake.

Emily smiled, pulled back her hand, and steadied herself. "I'm not here to comfort you, Sophia."

Emily's voice was calm and firm, no sympathy in her eyes, just clear rationality. "I'm a Brown, Hayden's daughter. I'm looking out for you for his sake. I know you're not reliable. Neither he nor your mom can count on you. So, I just pity you, got it? Since you don't appreciate it, there's no need for us to continue this. Let's go."
