Chapter 116 Sever Ties with the Brown Family as Soon as Possible
Celestia whispered a reminder: "Amelia, even if you make those photos public, Grandpa would never kick Sophia out!"
With Celestia's reminder, Amelia instantly sobered up.
Sophia still needed to treat Benjamin's illness, so Preston would definitely not let her leave easily.
If Sophia then used that favor to manipulate them, the White Family would just have to swallow this bitter pill!
Amelia secretly gritted her teeth, her eyes full of fury.
"Celestia, then what do you think we should do? A woman who's so promiscuous absolutely doesn't deserve to be my daughter-in-law! I will never allow her to stay in the White Family!"
Celestia leaned close to Amelia's ear and whispered: "Why not just have Benjamin divorce her voluntarily? But these photos alone are far from enough."
Benjamin cherished Sophia like a treasure and would definitely not easily believe these photos.
To completely get rid of the trouble that was Sophia, they had to tackle the root of the problem.
Amelia asked in confusion: "Celestia, do you have a good plan?"
"I do have a plan, but..." Celestia glanced at Amelia, hesitating.
Amelia said sternly: "Just say it. There are no outsiders here."
Celestia quietly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said: "Amelia, to completely kick Sophia out of the White Family, we first need to destroy their relationship."
Celestia whispered a few words in Amelia's ear, and Amelia's eyes immediately lit up.
"Will this method really work?" Amelia asked skeptically.
"Amelia, can you think of a better method right now?"
Faced with Celestia's question, Amelia instantly fell silent.
She really couldn't think of a better method.
Dashiell had told her that to completely cure her condition, she must maintain a happy mood.
But whenever she saw Sophia, she couldn't help feeling restless and agitated.
Only she herself knew that her feelings toward Sophia weren't just disgust, but also fear.
She had always thought that losing Sophia seventeen years ago would never be discovered.
But she never expected that Sophia would have a photographic memory.
And publicly reveal the truth from back then.
That day, Benjamin had privately warned her.
If she dared to hurt Sophia again, he would make her regret it for life.
At the time, she was angry and unwilling, but more than anything, she was afraid.
That lunatic Benjamin was capable of anything!
She didn't dare take that risk.
After a long while, Amelia sighed helplessly.
"Let's do as you say."
If it could really make Sophia back down and leave the White Family, she was willing to try.
Celestia's eyes lit up, and she quickly said: "Don't worry, Amelia, I definitely won't let you down."
After Celestia left, Amelia leaned against the headboard, lost in thought.
Those photos kept replaying in Amelia's mind.
She felt somewhat irritated and restless.
In the photos, Sophia was intimate with a man who looked about twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
The two sat in a café chatting and laughing, very familiar with each other.
In one photo, Sophia was holding the man's arm, her fair face wearing a charming smile.
In another, the man's pale jade-like fingers were gently tapping Sophia's forehead.
Ambiguous and intimate.
The two seemed very familiar, with an indescribable closeness.
What shocked Amelia most was that the man's bearing was in no way inferior to Benjamin's.
Although the man's features weren't clearly captured, her instinct told her that his identity was definitely extraordinary.
But before she could think further, Amelia felt a headache coming on.
After the engagement party between the Stewart Family and the Brown Family was canceled, it caused a huge uproar online.
The day after the engagement party was canceled, all the major headlines were about Isabella.
Following Benjamin's instructions, Chase gave that information to many well-known domestic media outlets and magazines.
Isabella was a popular celebrity in the entertainment industry, so the sensation was even greater.
When netizens heard the recording, everyone was shocked.
They couldn't believe that Isabella, who had always been gentle and kind, was actually like this in private.
"This is too vicious, isn't it?"
"She played the victim online before, and I actually believed her! Now it seems she was completely treating us netizens like fools!"
"Isabella is just a fake heiress adopted from an orphanage—what right does she have to target Sophia, the real heiress? Is the Brown Family full of idiots?"
"Sophia is so pitiful! Does everyone remember when Isabella's fans threw hot water on campus at Stellar University? Thinking about it now is terrifying."
"Isabella isn't human, and the Brown Family is even worse, okay? They actually used their biological daughter as a business bargaining chip and gave thedaughter the marriage arrangement that belonged to their biological daughter!"
...
After the incident of Isabella's female fan throwing hot water at Sophia was exposed, Isabella's reputation plummeted.
Now it had hit rock bottom.
Many fans unfollowed her, and passersby all turned into haters.
Under the White Group's operation, Isabella's trending topic stayed on Facebook for a whole week.
The Brown Group and Novalume Group's stock prices plunged.
Even the Stewart Family was affected.
Mason was furious.
Nora and Zander stood in the study of the Stewart Manor, not daring to breathe loudly.
The other branches of the Stewart Family all showed gloating expressions.
Although they were one family, they were actually always in competition.
Mason was already old and preparing to retire.
The entire Stewart Family was eyeing the inheritance rights to the Stewart Group.
And Zander was Mason's most favored grandson.
Also the strongest competitor.
The other branches had long been dissatisfied with Zander and his mother.
Now that they finally caught an opportunity, they definitely had to mock them properly.
"Zander, really. Why didn't you clarify these things before the engagement? Now look what's happened—our Stewart Family has become ungrateful."
Zander's original engagement partner should have been Sophia.
However, Zander and Isabella had been childhood sweethearts.
Even after Sophia was found, no one ever took her seriously.
But it was precisely this overlooked Sophia who destroyed the reputation that the Brown Family and Stewart Family had carefully built.
Mason was also extremely disappointed in Zander.
"Did you know about the Brown Family's affairs beforehand?" Mason asked in a low voice.
Nora was so shrewd—how could she not guess the meaning behind Mason's words?
She quickly assured him: "We had no idea about this! I watched Isabella grow up, and I never imagined she could be such a vicious person."
After speaking, she fiercely pinched Zander's arm, signaling him to explain quickly.
Zander opened his mouth dully.
Before he could speak, Mason interrupted him.
Mason sneered and instructed in a low voice: "This matter has already seriously affected the Stewart Group's stock price. You need to figure out how to issue a statement quickly, and it would be best if you could cut ties with the Brown Family as soon as possible."
