Chapter 495 Richard Wants to Send Aleah to Jail

Sophia, with teary eyes, grabbed Richard's wrist. "Richard, Mom's doing this for you. I don't want you to get used. Betty's a schemer. She came from nothing; there's no way she's into a poor guy."

Sophia didn't trust Betty at all. She thought Richard, being Arnold's son, deserved better. She wanted them to divorce ASAP and cut ties cleanly. Betty was tough to deal with.

"She married you to stay under the radar. She controls everything in the Hughes family. If she married someone powerful, she'd draw too much attention. She's using you as a cover, you fool."

"Enough!" Richard snapped at Sophia. "I don't care why you showed up, saying you're my mother. I'm telling you, I don't want to have anything to do with you! I never will! Betty's my wife, and I trust her completely. Even if she wanted me dead, I chose her over you!"

With that, Richard slammed the door and left. The door, already weak, fell off its hinges. Sophia jumped back, startled.

Richard doubted every word she uttered. She had to expose Betty's true nature and prove to Richard she was the one who truly cared for him.

"Your son's a bit rebellious," Brade smirked.

"Our goal's the same: get Richard and Betty to divorce," Sophia reminded Brade.

"Yeah," Brade nodded. "I want them to split so I can get Betty and everything of the Hughes family. What's your reason?"

"I need my son's love," Sophia said calmly. "A man only sees his mom's worth after a woman breaks his heart."

She hoped Richard would eventually see that his mom was the only one who truly cared for him. If he listened to her, getting Arnold's assets would be easy. As long as her son obeyed, everything would be fine.
