Chapter 88
about this. Who in the world spilled the beans?” Luca demanded.
“I’ve already told you multiple times not to tell anyone about this.
As he spoke, he slammed his hand hard on the table and appeared terrifying. However, Melanie wasn’t scared at all. After all, she didn’t do it. So, there was no reason for her to be afraid.
Meanwhile, Felicia’s face turned pale. When she thought about how other people knew what happened to her, even her hands started trembling. She wondered how people would view her from then on.
Sophie looked extremely guilty as she silently cursed herself. She had told Lilith not to tell anyone about it, but the promise was broken immediately. At that moment, she knew she was doomed. It her family knew that she was behind the secret being out, she would be lectured territ
Sophie couldn’t keep a straight face at all, and anyone would be able to tell she was guilty. So, Luca didn’t even need to investigate further. “Sophie, did you leak the secret?
She trembled a little and hurriedly shook her head. “No… It wasn’t me. I didn’t tell anyone about it. Dad, you can’t just accuse me for no reason.” When Felicia noticed it, she was furious as well. She glared at Sophie, thinking how much of an idiot the latter was.
“How dare you deny in? Who else would it be? What were you even thinking? Do you feel proud to tell the whole world about it? Damn it! This is ridiculous!”
Sophie looked upset and frightened that she was about to cry. She shot a glance at Sapphire, hoping to get some help However, Sapphire didn’t look at her at all. Under such circumstances, not even she would pamper her children.
Fortunately for Sophie, she was just a young lady. Otherwise, Luca would’ve punished her severely already. However, she was still sent back to her room as a punishment so that she could think about her mistakes. She wasn’t even allowed to have her meal.
That night, Felicia didn’t have any appetite. After taking a few bites of her food, she retreated to her bedroom. She knew she had to fight back. Otherwise, she would have no place in the family anymore. When it came to that, she figured that Melanie would shit on her.
After all, Felicia had failed terribly in their first confrontation, and Melanie went all out against her.
Sophie was starving. After all, she didn’t even have a proper lunch that day. Now that she wasn’t allowed to have dinner, there was no way she could handle it. Shortly after she returned to her room, her stomach started rumbling.
At that moment, she suddenly heard someone knocking on her window. Sophie looked outside and saw Melanie standing there. The latter was even holding two slices of ple in her hands.
Sophie warily opened the window. “Why are you here?”
“I’ve brought you some pie. It should keep you from being hungry for now,” Melanie said softly, worried that Luca and the rest would hear her. Sophie had a bad feeling. After all, her relationship with Melanie was terrible, and she would bully the latter all the time. So, she didn’t believe that Melanie would be kind enough to bring her some food. However, when she saw the ple in Melanie’s hands, she couldn’t help salivating
“Did you polson them?
Melanie didn’t say anything. When Melanie didn’t respond, Sophie figured her question sounded dumb. After all, Melanie would have to be really bold if she was poisoning Sophie in her own home.
“If it weren’t for me spilling the b

beans, you wouldn’t have been punished. So, I’m partially responsible for this, too. I’ll leave the pie here, and it’s up to
After saying that, Melanie set down the pie and left. Sophie hesitated for a few seconds but ultimately took in the p
