Chapter 147

Miranda wasted no time in sharing the details of the case with her companions, unraveling the story with precision and clarity.

It was an old case, dating back five or six years.

The story involved two people, Nathaniel's sister, Sophia Pembroke, and her husband, Theodore Chase. They met during their university days and fell deeply in love.

Their backgrounds, however, couldn't have been more different.

Sophia hailed from an illustrious family, while Theodore Chase came from more humble beginnings. Initially, the Pembroke family disapproved of their relationship. Yet, the couple's genuine affection overcame all obstacles, and they eventually married.

After the wedding, Sophia took on a high-ranking position within the family business. Theodore, a naturally gifted doctor, rapidly climbed the professional ladder in a prestigious city hospital, thanks in part to the Pembroke family's influence. Within a few years, he became the head of surgery at Metropolitan Hospital, earning a reputation as an accomplished young professional.

Shortly after their marriage, they had a son. With successful careers and a happy family, they were the envy of many.

But their happiness was short-lived.
