Chapter 547 Sophia Is Missing
The tumbler in Sophia’s hand dropped into the snow with a slosh.
“Teacher!”
Cutting off her scream, Melissa covered her mouth and nose with a cloth soaked in ether.
Sophia waved her arms frantically, trying to get anyone’s attention, but her small body slowly weakened as she inhaled more ether into her system. Finally, losing consciousness in Melissa’s arms.
A glint of satisfaction flashed across Melissa’s eyes as she looked down at the unconscious Sophia.
“That woman is crafty.” She caressed Sophia’s smooth, soft face, mumbling under her breath, “I can only lure Natalie to me with a small bait like you.”
Carrying Sophia into her arms, she left the ski area.
Meanwhile, a hundred miles away in a warm office somewhere, Yara sat elegantly sipping on her coffee and snacking on macarons prepared by famous chefs as she watched the camera footage transmitted from the ski area.
She had given Melissa a pair of earrings fixed with a mini spy camera to allow her to always be in control of the latter’s whereabouts and actions.
It seemed like it wasn’t a wasted effort in instigating Melissa recently.
This sister of a different mother of mine actually blamed Natalie for Yandel’s disliking her. I can’t believe she’s so stupid.
“Ms. Yara, what should we do next?” asked a guy with a feminine face.
“We only need to support her from the dark.” After another sip of coffee, she continued, “Melissa alone is not enough to topple Natalie, but if Sophia dies from the struggle between Natalie and Melissa, what comes next will be interesting.”
Gale watched as cruel words came out of Yara’s mouth, despite the innocent smile on her face.
At that moment, he finally understood King’s decision to collude with Yara.
Despite her lack of powerful background and capabilities, she made up for it with her tenacity.
If she saw an opportunity, she would sink her fangs into her prey and not let go until she had her hands on it.
Her cruelty could be the reason for King to collude with Yara, hoping she could sink her poisonous fangs into Natalie and Dream.
“Samuel hates me, but he loves the twins, especially that little girl. If she dies, he will never forgive Natalie.”
Yara laughed evilly, “Will Natalie kills herself from guilt if she finds out her biological daughter survived five years ago just to die in her own hands?”
She couldn’t contain the glee blooming in her heart and the curling of the corners of her lips at the thought.
Gale thought that women were indeed the cruelest kind of humans on the planet as he watched the evil smile on Yara’s face.
The skiing session in the evening had ended.
Xavian was holding onto the hand of a little girl dressed in red. “Sophia, are you tired? I have some chocolates with me. Do you want some?”
“Yes!”
The wind’s howling had distorted the child’s answer leaving Franklin unable to hear it distinctly.
Franklin and Clayton immediately assumed the little girl was Sophia when they saw Xavian holding onto her hand. Without much thought, they joined the group gathered at the assembly point.
Xavian removed his snow hat and ski goggles and searched his pocket for chocolate before handing it over to the little girl. “Here you go, Sophia.”
“Okay.”
The little girl removed her snow hat and goggles to eat the chocolate, finally revealing her face.
“Daisy?” Xavian was dumbstruck. He hadn’t thought that the little girl he had been holding onto the entire time wasn’t Sophia. “How come it’s you? Where is Sophia?”
Baffled at his question, Daisy paused and answered with a mouthful of chocolate, “I don’t know. You’re the one who held onto my hand and asked me to follow you. You told me to stay right beside you.”
Franklin and Clayton frowned when they saw Xavian had been holding onto the wrong girl the entire time.
“She’s not Sophia.” Franklin began to panic. “Where is she then?”
