If Colin had to marry someone else, Sophia hoped he would take Leila as his wife.
But Leila didn't agree, she wanted Sophia to get back with Colin. She had heard another piece of distressing news. "Colin has chosen to marry Dorothy Lien."
Sophia's world shattered. The shock was too much for Sophia to bear. Feeling her legs weaken, she fell to her knees.
Leila and Justina quickly caught her in time. Leila frowned and raised her voice. "Sophia Lo! Don't you want to avenge your parents? How can you avenge them if you're so vulnerable! You let me down, Sophia Lo!"

"Do you remember my mother? Sandra Hang, she's actually your aunt. Your mother was also a member of the Hang clan. I'm your cousin, Sophia." Leila always had a feeling that she had seen Sophia somewhere before. Now she realized that Sophia looked a lot like her aunt.
Sophia's eyes widened in shock. "Miss Ji... Did I hear it wrong?"
"No, you heard me right. My mother had a little sister called Adelaide Hang, and she was your birth mother. She passed away when you were one and a half years old. After her death, your father married Julia Qiao, your foster mother."
