Chapter 170 Thunderclap on a Sunny Day (2)
Little Sophie stood firmly blocking Charlotte Harrison, her gaze fierce.
"You’d better explain clearly to me!"
"Fine, I’ll tell you!" Charlotte Harrison pushed Christopher Smith aside, straightened her clothes, and stood proudly in front of Little Sophie.
"I’ve been by your father’s side for over ten years, always enduring humiliation without any status. Four years ago, when the house was to be demolished, Golden Era offered several million as demolition compensation. I just wanted one million, but that woman actually refused. Your dad wanted to divorce her, and she couldn’t take it and jumped off the building to commit suicide. It’s as simple as that!"
Back then, she tried hard to force Christopher Smith to divorce the two of them, but that woman’s heart seemed as fragile as glass—three words wrong and she would run off to jump off a building and commit suicide; fine, if she wanted to commit suicide. Christopher became remorseful and refused to move out of the old house, and she got nothing from the demolition compensation, yet had to stay here living in poverty with him.
Little Sophie stood in place, unable to utter a word.
Charlotte Harrison took James Smith into the room, leaving just the father and daughter in the cramped living room.
"Sophie,..."
"Don’t say anything." Her voice carried a trace of defensiveness and unfamiliarity.
"Is what Charlotte Harrison said true?"
