Nobody was around. Jay Lo, who should have been in the bathroom, was gone.

The bathroom door was ajar, the air, now free to flow.

Sophia searched all the rooms frantically, but Jay was nowhere to be found.

Contemplating whether Jay was taken by those people, Sophia suddenly saw a piece of paper on the table, the writing indicating that it was written by her father.

Sophia, I'm going. No need to look for me. During my imprisonment by those people, I figured out that as long as I wasn't in Country A, any other place would be safe for me. I'm really sorry that Colin and you got divorced because of me. I'm so sorry. I hope that you get to live a happy life in the future.

I feel like a loser. Although I know who our enemy is, I can do nothing about it. I have been nothing but a burden on you.

The Lien and Pei Families must not be provoked. I hope that, if possible, both Aaron and you can drop all this hatred and live a stable and happy life. Can you promise me that?

Sophia, I have to tell you that you are wrong in thinking that I have deliberately keep that secret from you. Honestly, I don't know where the object is. You mother had planned on telling me. Unfortunately, her plans were too late. She was murdered before she could reveal the secret to me.

That secret will help you dominate the Lien, Pei and Ji Families. A long time ago, your grandfather had been the adviser for all these three companies, as well as the key witness to the truth. He had witnessed the dark history first hand, the bad debts and some gruesome scandals going around in those three companies.

When he died and that item disappeared, they turned to your mother and me. They even forced your uncle and aunt out of here because of their unspeakable wickedness and brutality.

Furthermore, I am sure you know by now that Julia isn't your biological mother. Sophia, I am burdened with this guilt towards you and your biological mother, Adelaide.

However, your adoptive mother, did nothing wrong. She was a good woman, who loved you as her real daughter through all those years.

The love and hatred shared by the previous generations should not be your concern. Sophia, can you live a good life with your brother?

Jay Lo, a father who loves you.

Tears trickled down the white paper, soaking it and blurring its words.

Her father wished her to let go of the hatred. Could she possibly do that?

Then there was the truth about her biological mother, Adelaide, a woman that she had never met.copy right hot novel pub
