Chapter 1025 The Cat Is Out of the Bag
Sofia wanted to refute, but even after opening her mouth several times, she couldn’t find the words to say. If she were to say she understood Eunice, it would be a lie.
Looking at the silent Sofia, Nicholas ran out of patience and simply played the recording of the stage operator’s testimony.
“It was Eunice’s assistant who approached me, saying that as long as I caused something to happen on the stage, I would be given 500 thousand. Later, she came to me once more, offering me another million to pin the blame on Susan, and that she would get me out of jail afterward.”
At the end of the speech, unsurprisingly, Sofia’s expression became distorted.
Nicholas reached out to turn the recording off and said coldly, “I don’t want Tessa to know about this for the time being, so I hope you’ll step in and settle this matter.”
“I understand. I’ll definitely give Tessa an explanation.”
With those words, Sofia got up and left the cafe, returning to the orchestra with a somber expression.
Meanwhile, Eunice was completely unaware of what was happening and was currently on the phone with Wanda, who had not heard from Eunice after waiting for a long time and was calling to question her.
“It’s been a long time. How are things going?”
“Something cropped up. Tessa was unharmed.”
When she said this, Eunice felt a little embarrassed. After all, she had sworn to make sure that something would happen to Tessa in the beginning.
Similarly, Wanda did not expect this outcome either and immediately mocked her discontentedly, “It seems that you are not as invincible as you thought you were.”
Eunice was also a little annoyed at her bitter words. “It’s true that I’m not invincible, but you’re not any better!”
“What’s wrong with me? At least I’ve done everything I should have done!” Seeing that Eunice was still trying to shirk her responsibilities, Wanda immediately retorted unhappily.
Eunice sneered and said sarcastically, “That’s hilarious. What do you mean, you did everything you should have done? You didn’t manage to get Nicholas back, but you still have the nerve to criticize me? Who gave you the courage?”
On the other end of the phone, Wanda was furious. As the eldest daughter of the Muller Family, there had never been a time where she had been accused in such a way. Immediately, the two began arguing, and it was at this moment that Sofia approached.
Seeing this, Eunice couldn’t care less about the quarrel and hung up the phone sheepishly. “Why are you here, Miss Sofia? Is there something wrong?”
Sofia looked at her coldly and did not respond immediately. On the contrary, Eunice inexplicably felt a little guilty from her stare, and the expression on her face became a little unnatural.
What’s with Miss Sofia? Did she overhear my conversation with Wanda?
However, she suppressed the idea the moment it rose. With Sofia’s temper, she would have been questioning her by now if she had overheard.
At that thought, she calmed down and inquired puzzledly, “Miss Sofia, what are you staring at me so much for?”
“I just want to see what kind of person you really are. You’ve been with me for 20 years, but to this day, I feel as if I’ve never known you before!”
Sofia looked at Eunice with a complicated expression, her eyes filled to the brim with all kinds of emotions. When Eunice saw this, her heart thumped, and a bad feeling loomed in her heart.
“Miss Sofia, did something happen?” She forced a smile on her lips, feigning calm.
Sofia stopped beating around the bush and immediately demanded, “What exactly is your grudge with Tessa that you would go to such great lengths to harm her? You didn’t even spare the child!”
The moment Sofia said this, Eunice’s complexion immediately paled with shock and panic.
Miss Sofia found out that I did it? No, I can never admit to it, or I’ll be doomed.
“Miss Sofia, where did you hear those rumors from? How could I harm Tessa?”
When Sofia saw that Eunice wasn’t admitting to her mistake in the slightest, endless disappointment filled her eyes. “Don’t deny it anymore. The stage operator has already confessed that it was you who sent your assistant to bribe him to break the stage, and then have him pin the blame on Susan.”
