The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 347 Turning Them Against Each Other

"Yes, Ms. Sinclair." Two men appeared out of nowhere and dragged the weak and powerless Sky upstairs.

Sophia remained seated on the couch for a while before getting up to pour herself a glass of red wine. She swirled the liquid gently, then raised her glass in a quiet toast to the air.

"Sophia, congratulations on your rebirth," she murmured to herself. Then, she downed the wine in one gulp before turning and heading upstairs.

Sky was thrown into the master bedroom on the second floor-the same room Emma had chosen for herself when he arranged for her to move in. Now that it had been hers, Sophia had no intention of using it.

"You two can leave now."

With a wave of her hand, the two men stepped out.

Sophia pushed open the door and entered. Inside, Emma and Cindy were tied together, while Sky lay weakly on the floor.

"Cindy, the one who killed Shane is right here. Now's your chance for revenge."

Sophia stepped forward and untied Cindy's ropes. "Think about it-how did Sky plunge that knife into Shane's heart?

"He's right in front of you. You can avenge your son now."

Her voice softened, almost hypnotic, as she leaned in closer. The corners of her lips curved up ever so slightly, her tone gentle yet laced with an undeniable lure.

"Cindy, the opportunity is right here. Think about how cruelly Shane died. If it weren't for Sky, would Shane have dared to lay a hand on me? And if he hadn't, would I have ever had the chance to make Sky kill him?

"You're Shane's mother—his real mother. Watching your own child die before your eyes must have been unbearable. But now, the one responsible is right here. Kill him, and Shane can finally rest in peace."

Cindy, her hands now free, stood frozen as Sophia's words echoed in her mind. Sophia rose to her feet, giving Cindy freedom but keeping Emma restrained. Emma's eyes widened in disbelief, terror flashing across her face. "Sophia Sinclair, you've lost your mind! You're insane! Do you even realize that?"

Sophia's hand slapped hard across Emma's face. "Am I insane? Wasn't it you who drove me to this?"

"Emma, drop the innocent act," she sneered. "You made me this way you all did."

Sophia smiled, crouching down to grip Emma's chin tightly. "Don't be so hasty. Your turn will come soon enough."
