Sophia went berserk behind the iron bars and yelled all sorts of profanities as she kicked the doors.


    The police officer who escorted Adam and his family said with a frown, "She''s been causing a ruckus ever since she was ced in here, and she''s been insulting our colleagues repeatedly, too."


    Adam''s expression remained somber, and his face grew even gloomier. Melinda apologized sheepishly to the police officer and felt ashamed that Sophia had been causing so much trouble.


    The police officer declined toment any further and simply gestured for them to go ahead and visit Sophia. She was still kicking the iron bars frantically when she spotted her father, and her eyes lit up right away. "Dad! You''re finally here! Tell them to let me out, Dad! It''s cold and wet here. This ce isn''t fit for humans!"


    Sophia''s unrepentant demeanor left Adam feeling a deep sense of regret and helplessness. "Do you realize what you''ve done, Sophia? Do you think you can just walk out of here?"


    Sophia looked at her father and shed crocodile tears. "I know you''ll have a way to save me, Dad! Let me out! Can we save everything else for after I''m out?"


    Adam frowned and asked in a stern voice, "You''ll have to stay behind bars and face the consequences of your actions."


    Sophia was aghast. "What are you saying, Dad? Are you going to abandon me? You''re my biological father! You can''t do that to me!"Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "I might be your biological father, but I can''t overlook all the wrongdoing you''vemitted. You''re not a child anymore. It''s time for you to face the consequences of your actions!"


    When Sophia realized that her father was not bluffing, she threw a fit and gritted her teeth while ring at him. "So you''re going to betray me too, huh? How dare you betray me, you b*stard! They said things about you, didn''t they? You''re doing this because of them, right?!"


    She pointed viciously at Melinda and Lilin, and it seemed that she would have attacked them if she was not behind those iron bars. Adam''s disappointment only continued to grow, and he finally snapped when he saw his daughter''sck of remorse and unjustified anger toward them. "Shut up! This has nothing to do with Melinda or Lilin! Youmitted a crime, and whatever you''re facing now is karma! You''re in this situation simply because of your actions! How did you evene up with a n as horrible as sshing acid on other people?"


    "Karma? Hahahaha... That''s easy for you to say! Everything I did in the past was with your help. Should karma bite you back first? Hahahahahaha!" Sophiaughed maniacally and did not hold her true feelings back.


    Adam could only mumble. "But..."


    "But what? The apple doesn''t fall far from the tree, Dad. I inherited my evil tendencies from you! Hahahahahaha... You taught me never to give in to anyone''s demands, and you promised to help me get whatever I want! Why didn''t you keep your word, then? Why won''t you help me when I''m asking for Zachary? He''s the only man I want! It''s such a simple wish! Was everything you said just an empty promise?"
