Chapter 1162: 1162. The secret is out.

"Sophie, look!"

Melody Baker pointed to the frozen image on the TV, her face showing some unease.

Sophie was furious, blood still flowing from her foot, and now her mother was so anxious for her to watch TV that her face turned dark with anger.

"What’s so interesting about that? Didn’t you see my foot... Uncle Forest!"

The moment Sophie looked up and her gaze fell on the TV screen, she cried out instinctively.

The news footage had obviously startled her too.

Looking back at the content of the news, it was about Ian Foster and his subordinates being arrested.

Both were dumbfounded in an instant.

"Uncle Forest is one of Ian Foster’s men?"

"I... I had no idea either, I just knew he had some skills, but who would have thought he was one of Ian Foster’s men."

Melody’s heart grew even more unsettled.

"Sophie, do you think the plan from nine years ago that Uncle Forest helped you make to get close to Adam Jones might have other hidden aspects we don’t know about?"

Back then, it was Adam Jones whom they were plotting against.

Sophie’s eyelids twitched fiercely, and anxiety began to set in for her too.

Back then, Uncle Forest said he had a way to help her gain Adam’s trust and closeness, as long as she did as he directed.

Her heart was set on entering the Campbell Family, taking Elly Campbell’s place, and seizing everything that belonged to Elly.

And naturally, Adam Jones was Elly’s greatest asset.

At the time, she agreed without hesitation and followed Uncle Forest’s plan to the Brocade Cloud Hotel to save Adam.

As for her being severely injured by that group of people afterward, that was also part of the plan, but she never expected they would beat her nearly to death.

Originally, she thought it was those people overacting and not controlling their strength properly that nearly killed her, but now it seemed... perhaps from the very beginning, their plan was to gamble with her life.

Only if they truly aimed to take her life would Adam Jones truly believe her.

And if she had indeed survived back then, the benefits she would have reaped from Adam’s side would have been unimaginable.

Moreover, if she could have become Mrs. Jones, the benefits would be even greater.

Suddenly, Sophie connected all this to Ian Foster’s recent election campaign; his sudden emergence in the campaign clearly indicated he was well prepared.

To compete with Tony Wilson and Neil Foster, what gave him the confidence if it was not a long-term plan?

Henry Jones’s death, Adam’s accident, and his memory loss yet only remembering her...

Sophie’s mind, without realizing it, had turned a corner.

Was Uncle Forest so eager to help her win the trust of the Jones siblings merely because he and her mother were classmates?

Right now, Sophie dared not think so simply.

What if the purpose of gaining Adam’s trust was to better exploit him in the future?

The mere thought of this possibility made Sophie’s heart tremble violently.

Now, with Uncle Forest arrested, would he confess about what happened back then?

"Mom, what do we do? If Uncle Forest confesses to our plot against her from that year, Adam won’t let me off."

Sophie’s face turned pale in waves, and even the wound on her foot from the glass shards no longer felt painful.

Melody had also become panicked upon realizing this fact.

If Uncle Forest hadn’t spilled the beans about Sophie, it would have been fine, but if he exposed Sophie, both mother and daughter would be doomed.

Even with James Campbell’s protection, it would be of no use.
