Chapter 184
He’d thought Sofia set him up not just to warn him, but to force him to hand over his shares and give her the upper hand over James,
Sofia said, “Of course I want them. But whether I actually get them depends on you. Do you want to cling to those shares and rot in jail, or do you want me to bail you out?”
Xavier’s face turned livid he understood exactly what she meant. Aber all these years with Sofia, he knew that even if he handed over the shares, in her eyes, he was nothing but a descarded pawn
He clenched his teeth, no longer bothering to hide his feelings, and looked at Sofa with undisguised hatred,
After a long moment, he said, “My wonderful mother, why don’t you take a look at something before you decide if you still want my shares?” He then pulled out his phone, opened his photo album, and played a video.
The video was high definition, but shot from a cleverly concealed spot, making it look like it had been secretly recorded
Right in the center was Sofia herself, dressed in all her elegant, expensive finery.
In front of her, tied to a chair, was a woman with seductive looks and heavy makeup
Sofia stood there, cold and emotionless, ordering the two bodyguards she’d brought to strangle the woman with a rope. Then, they hung up the body to make it look like a suicide. Before leaving, Sofia even told the bodyguards to clean the room thoroughly.
The video was crystal clear, and one could easily hear Sofia calling all the shots.
Sofia, who had been sitting calmly on the sofa, finally lost her cool. Her expression changed as she gripped the phone with both hands and shot to her
feet
Xavier watched with satisfaction as her expression finally changed, then strolled over to the sofa and sat down at his leisure. He crossed his legs, shedding all traces of weakness from before,
He said, “You killed our biological mother just to get your hands on me and Jackson, and then staged it to look like a suicide.
“if the cops ever see this video, tell me–who do you think will end up rotting in prison, or maybe even facing a firing squad?”
This time, it was Sofia whose face turned ashen. She gripped the phone so hard it looked like she might snap it in half. She asked, “How did you get this?”
She’d thought she’d covered her tracks perfectly back then–never expected she’d leave behind such damning evidence.
Xavier smirked and said, “You were right about one thing–Jackson is smart. Long before you ever showed up, he already knew you investigating us. So he set up hidden cameras at home and caught this brilliant footage
u were secretly
Sofia’s eyes widened in disbelief. Back when she first came after those twins, they were just a couple of brats barely in their teens. She didn’t expect Jackson to have that kind of nerve and shrewdness.
She shot Xaviers look so cold and venomous it was like she wanted to strangle him right then and there, but she didn’t dare make a move.
Ater a long pause, she suddenly sneered, Jackson really is pathetic. He did so much for you, and yet you ended up sending him to a place like St. Gabriel Reform Academy”
Xavier’s smag grin froze on his face, almost like be was furious out of embarrassment. He snapped, “if you hadn’t deliberately let it slip about St. Gabriel Reform Academy, I never would’ve sent him there.”
He thought, “I honestly had no idea what kind of place that was, and I never meant to get Jackson killed it was all because this old woman manipulated
me into it.
Sofia sneered. She didn’t bother arguing with him and said bluntly, “I can help clear your name, but at this point, someone’s gotta be the scapegoat.”

Chapter 184
Seeing her expression, Xavies knew she’d already made up her mind. “Who is it?” he asked.
Sofia raised an eyebrow and said, “The Dennett family already has someone in mind to blame. They don’t need me to find a scapegoat for them
Xavier saw exactly what she was planning. He thought, “Emily, the unwanted fake heiress, is truly a perfect scapegoat
If the Jenkins family got dragged into the Bennett Family’s internal drama, we could squeek out even more profit from the new project dest with one stone–this old woman really is a tough mut to crack”
Right then, Xavier was glad he’d had a brother like Jackson, even in death, Jackson had left him a priceless trump card.
