Chapter 22
Matthew‘ mom was instantly mortified. “I didn’t know. Matthew never said anything. I just assumed…“]
Sophie snorted with contempt.[]
“Monica used substandard materials, which harmed many people and severely damaged the reputation of this technology.”
“But my father always had a backup plan. The core technology for this patent has been under continuous development by his team overseas. The prosthetics you were producing were already obsolete.“]
The matriarch, who had been so confident moments before, was now pale with shame.[]
“Even so, you should have protected Matthew’s reputation! He was your partner! How can you publicly steal his business like this? Is that fair to him?“]
Sophie couldn’t help but laugh out loud.[]
“Ma’am, allow me to remind you again.“]
“Your dear son and I have no legal relationship. We were never registered at the city hall. The woman he married was Monica Moore, the housekeeper he fired.“]]
Instantly, the entire room erupted in chaos.]
The reporters, sensing a scandal, immediately shoved their microphones in Madam He’s face.[]
“Nonsense! That’s absolute nonsense!” Matthew‘ mom gasped for air, slapping Matthew’s arm. “How could my son possibly pass up the Harris heiress to marry some country maid?“]
“You explain this right now! What is going on?!“]]
Hearing this, Sophie found it almost funny.]]
Yes, she thought, once upon a time, she had wondered the same thing countless times.
Why would Matthew be foolish enough to marry a housekeeper?]
Perhaps it was because her blind devotion had fueled his arrogance, making him believe she would never leave him, no matter what he did.[]
Matthew bowed his head like a guilty child, his hair falling over his eyes, hiding the broken look within them.]
“Mom…” Matthew’s voice trembled. “Everything Sophie said is true. I’m the one who wronged her.“[]
“Actually, I came here today to discuss a partnership with her.“[]
As he spoke, the entire room fell silent.]
Matthew stepped forward with a thick folder.[]
“The Wilson Group may be in a bit of a crisis, but we are still a leading company in mechanical manufacturing.”

“If you’re willing to partner with me on this new project, I’ll give you manufacturing at cost, use the best materials… I’m just asking for one chance.“]
Sophie was silent.]
She never thought that the once–arrogant Matthew Wilson would be begging her so humbly for a partnership.f
If she had heard such sincere words from him in the past, she would have been overjoyed.[]
But now, Sophie simply shook her head.]
“I only have one partner, and that is my husband’s company. The Delaneys have always been ahead of the Wilsons in manufacturing. The current batch of prosthetics is being produced by them.“[]
“So, you’ve missed your chance.“[]
This time, the entire audience understood.]]
Someone couldn’t help but sneer.[]
“Wasn’t that old lady just threatening to sue her? Now it’s her turn to get sued, I bet.“[]
“Exactly. Watching someone shoot themselves in the foot in public. So embarrassing.“[]
“For the Wilson family to raise a son like that, the mother must have played a big part…“]
Matthew’ mom, her eyes filled with resentment but unable to argue, grabbed Matthew and started to leave. “Matthew, don’t beg her! A loose woman like her isn’t worth your time!“]
But before they had taken a few steps, Sophie called out to her.[]
“Mrs. Wilson, I’m not finished.“]
“When I was still at the Wilson Group, Matthew abused his authority and allowed his employee, Monica Moore, to produce inferior prosthetics, damaging the reputation of my family’s design.“[]
“At the same time, I will also be suing her for hiding razor blades in my daughter’s crib and injuring her.“]
The chaotic scene at the press conference, far from damaging Sophie’s reputation, actually attracted a large wave of supporters for her company.]]
Once the new generation of bionic limbs was released, it received widespread acclaim for its high quality and affordable price.[]
Countless individuals with disabilities were able to live essentially normal lives with the help of this prosthetic.[]
Sophie officially stepped from behind the scenes into the public eye.[]
With the help of her lawyers, she formally filed lawsuits against Matthew and Monica.]]
Fearing Matthew would be implicated, his mother had Monica released from the basement overnight and gave her a sum of money.

“Take this money and go to the police station. Take the fall for everything. If you dare to slander my son, I will make your life a living hell.“]
“And don’t forget, we still have your son. If you try any tricks, I promise you will never see him again.“[]”
Monica, terrified, nodded repeatedly. “I understand. I’ll go turn myself in right now…‘
..“I
But once she was at the police station, Monica seemed much calmer.
“I confess to everything I did, but you can’t do anything to me.‘
“Because I’m pregnant. With Matthew Wilson’s child. I’m four months along.“[]
