Chapter 465 Mutual Destruction

Sophia, on the other hand, didn't have the luxury to mull over life like Dean.

She had just left the studio with a cool $700,000 in her pocket.

Sophia was ecstatic, already daydreaming about how she'd spend the money. As she wandered down the street, an elderly woman, hunched over a cane, suddenly approached her.

Sophia wanted to avoid her, but the old woman seemed to have zeroed in on her, inching closer until Sophia was backed into a corner with nowhere to go. Only then did the woman slowly lift her eyes.

Just as she was about to hand it over, Sophia instinctively glanced at the old woman.

To her shock, the woman looked eerily like Evelyn.

"You... you..." Sophia almost thought it was Evelyn in disguise.

Thankfully, it wasn't.

The old woman took the money, nodded quietly, and left without saying much, leaving Sophia standing there, stunned.

It was then that Sophia thought of Evelyn in the psychiatric hospital.

She bit her lip, hesitated, and decided to visit the hospital.
