Chapter 6: Fake Son
While on the other side of the city.
"We already got the fake results. Why do I need another check-up?" Annabelle grumbled as Sophia dragged her into the hospital, dropping her limping act now that they were out of suspicious eyes.
"Vincent insisted on taking you to another hospital for a speedy recovery. I asked him to come here, so just cooperate with the doctor," Sophia replied, shoving Annabelle into the orthopedic department. Annabelle's act had been a little too perfect that Vincent had actually started liking her. While this was exactly why Sophia had hired this con artist—to steal Vincent away from Evelyn—his concern for this cheap con artist was beginning to grate on her nerves.
"Hello, doctor," Annabelle greeted as they entered the office. The doctor looked surprised but sighed heavily. With a forced smile, he stood up and bowed to Sophia.
"Vincent Blake will be here soon. Keep your act together," Sophia warned as Annabelle lazily sat on the chair before his desk. The doctor nodded, and Sophia excused herself as her phone rang loudly.
"Hello, William," she pretended, stepping out of the room. Once outside, her tone changed to one of irritation. "Where are you?" she demanded, scanning the corridor. A man in a white coat and mask waved his phone at her. She quickly looked around before following him to another floor.
As they reached an empty lab with the corridor completely cleared, Sophia cautiously scanned the surroundings before entering the room. As soon as the man removed his mask, she slapped him hard.
"Are you out of your mind?" Sophia yelled, her usual kind demeanor breaking into the maniac she truly was. The stunned man glared back at her, holding his burning cheek, which was jagged with a huge scar.
"I've told you many times that killing her isn't the solution! No matter how much that useless man hates his daughter, he still has a soft spot for her, and we need to be careful!" Sophia continued, referring to William. Though she had ensured William loathed Evelyn for his wife's death over the years, she couldn't completely get rid of her. That was why she hired Annabelle and played this fake heiress act like in those dramas.
