Chapter 165: Chapter 165 Saved
Lily finally understood why Stephen Wilson had never gotten the marriage certificate with her all these years.
"This is too much!" Cassandra Lee was trembling with anger, "Doesn’t she like you? How could she treat you like this?"
"Mom..." Lily felt a lump in her throat. She was still here, so why did her mother-in-law have to bring up how much that woman liked Stephen?
It made her feel so embarrassed.
"What’s going on now?" Cassandra demanded, "Did Sophie’s mom come looking?"
"No, not really." Stephen remembered the person he had seen at the hospital, but he didn’t let his mind wander for long and continued, "Sophie somehow found out about what happened back then and brought a lawyer over."
"That ungrateful brat, our family raised her for so many years, and she takes everything!" Cassandra cursed viciously, "A bitch is a bitch."
"Enough, Mom, this is how things are now. I’ll find some friends to think of a way to make a comeback. It’s just that for the time being, it will be tough for you all." Stephen, trying hard to conceal his grief, made Cassandra’s heart ache.
"It’s okay, we aren’t troubled. It’s you who must take care of your health." Cassandra looked at her son with a heart full of pity, "Money isn’t important, as long as we’re safe."
"I know," Stephen nodded.
Sophie really underestimated the situation if she thought he would just admit defeat like that?
It’s not that simple.

All items from the rental apartment had been moved, so Sophie wasn’t in a rush. She was waiting for Lawyer Newell to handle the corporation’s legal representative change before going to the company.
During this time, she stayed home to have a well-deserved rest.
As for Grace Wilson, she found it difficult to accept the transition from a wealthy second-generation heiress to an ordinary person. However, warned by Stephen not to seek out Sophie, she wandered the streets.
When she felt unhappy before, she would go to nightclubs or shopping malls to vent, but now, she hardly had any money left.
Even if she had a credit card, she was afraid to use it because she couldn’t pay it off.
The night dragged on, and the streets became deserted, but Grace still didn’t want to go home.
Yes, that little place was now her home.
Her villa, her car, her jewelry, her clothes... all gone.
Even with her skincare products running out, she had no idea what to use next.
She still couldn’t figure out what had happened, why everything suddenly became that bitch Sophie’s.
Was it all because of Sophie’s boyfriend?
With such a powerful backer, did her father even dare not to confront it and had to resign himself to it?
Unwilling!
She was unwilling!
A car slowly stopped beside Grace, the window rolled down, and the person inside called out, "Grace."
Grace looked up, confusion turning to shock, shock transforming into joy.

"What time is it already, and she’s not back yet?" Stephen looked up at the clock on the wall and asked Lily, "Did you call her?"
"Yes, but it’s off. Maybe her phone’s out of battery." Lily was also anxious. It was almost midnight, and Grace wasn’t back yet, without any news. She was worried too, "Should we go out and look for her?"
Just as she finished speaking, the door opened with a bang, and Grace burst in excitedly, "Mom, our family is saved! We’re saved!"
"Dad, I can help you make a comeback!"
