Chapter 1164: If you don’t choose the path to life, you are leading him to the path of death.

Sophie’s face, which had been filled with anger, collapsed the moment Melody Baker mentioned that topic, and turned into a look of panic.

"Uncle Forest is now detained and can’t be released on bail. Even if he could be, we’d risk exposing ourselves by making a move."

Sophie’s brow furrowed, "We can’t go to visit him either. As soon as we get in touch with Uncle Forest, Adam will definitely get the news."

This was what Melody Baker was afraid of.

Now, the only hope was that Benjamin Forest wouldn’t betray them, mother and daughter.

After all, they had only been pawns in the whole affair.

Melody Baker comforted herself with this thought.

"No! Mom, we must meet Uncle Forest and make it clear to him that he can’t sell us out."

A sinister look flashed through Sophie’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Mom, Uncle Forest is just Ian Foster’s subordinate, he only acts on orders from Ian. If he testifies against Ian to reduce his sentence, he won’t serve long."

"As long as we do well, when he gets out, we can take care of him. He won’t be unable to survive in society, but if we fall, it’s going to be even harder for him when he gets out."

"If we pass this message to him, he definitely won’t betray us."

As long as Benjamin Forest wasn’t foolish, he would know what outcome was best for him.

Melody Baker’s face showed a trace of difficulty, "Even if we could see Benjamin Forest, would he really agree?"

Hearing Melody Baker’s concerns, Sophie suddenly smirked darkly, saying:

"If he doesn’t want a way out we offer, then we’ll give him a dead end."

Melody Baker was startled by Sophie’s words, especially by the glimpse of cold ruthlessness that had surged up, as if she had been possessed by a demon, and it made her shudder.

"Sophie, have you lost your mind! Do you realize what you’re saying?"

Melody Baker went straight up to Sophie and slapped her.

She, who was always scheming and aspired to rise above others, crushing everyone who looked down on her, had never thought of killing.

Had her daughter gone crazy?

Sophie, after being slapped by Melody Baker, wasn’t even angry.

Just as Melody Baker said, she had truly gone mad.

From childhood to adulthood, she had lived in Elly Campbell’s shadow, growing up by comparison.

She had always dreamed that one day she would surpass Elly Campbell, beat her down, and make her crawl at her feet, begging like a dog.

But every time, just as she was about to succeed, reality cruelly knocked her back down. How could she accept that?

"Yes, I’ve gone mad. What other choice do I have?"

Sophie, covering her face, looked at Melody Baker and coldly laughed:

"Mom, we’ve been enduring for over twenty years. You’re still the unrecognized mistress, and I’ll forever be the illegitimate daughter who can’t show her face. Do you know why?"

Sophie’s gaze became sharp and aggressive—

"Because of Elly Campbell and her mother. Even though Jenna Clark divorced Dad, as long as she’s around, people will remember she was Dad’s first wife, and you are just a lowly mistress trying to rise. No one will truly recognize you as Mrs. Campbell."

"It’s the same with me. The only Campbell Family heiress acknowledged by outsiders is Elly Campbell. No matter how Adam treats Elly, people won’t look up to me. I’m either the illegitimate daughter or the mistress’s child, forever crushed under Elly Campbell’s feet."
