Chapter 714: Don’t Want Mom

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Annie was crying her heart out. People who didn’t know better might really be fooled into thinking she had her reasons, but Sophie wouldn’t believe them.

Although the consequence of this a.s.sa.s.sination was that Gao Tian was injured, these people wanted her dead from the beginning. If not for Gao Tian, this country would have returned to their hands.

In that case, the country would never have peace. Moreover, these people had contact with overseas countries. They might even sell the country’s interests.

Sophie would never allow such a thing to happen. She had to cut off her so- called family, not to mention that these people had long lost their kins.h.i.+p.

In Sophie’s silence, Annie understood that she wasn’t going to go soft. It would take a different way of talking.

“Sophie, even if you don’t believe me, so many things have already happened before you officially ascended the throne. Without anyone to help you, no one can guarantee that you can successfully ascend the throne.”

Sophie smiled when she saw her like this. “Sure enough, this is the real you, only talking about benefits.”

Annie did not feel ashamed of being mocked and continued, “With me around, I can block Henry and John’s schemes. I’ve fought with them for so many years. I know very well what methods they have, as long as you promise to restore my royal status after the matter is done.”

Sophie looked at her. “What makes you think I’ll say yes, and when things calm down, you’ll still be trying to figure out how to squeeze me out and be queen yourself.”

Annie did think so, but she didn’t expect Sophie to say it out loud. It was obvious that working together was a good thing for her.

Sophie had made up her mind from the start that she wasn’t going to agree to anything Annie said.

She already had the intention to kill, so no matter what she said, it was only a temporary compromise. She would definitely cause more trouble in the future.

Annie stared into Sophie’s eyes and saw that she spoke with extraordinary conviction.

“Sophie, are you abandoning me as your mother?” Annie stood up.

Sophie nodded. “I’m not going to have a mother.”

Annie pretended to casually look in the direction of the escape and tried her best to pretend to be furious. “Other than me, no one will sincerely help you. Even Jiang An is only doing this to obtain the trading rights with Country F.” “So what? I’ll give Jiang An the right to trade, and she’ll always support me,” Sophie said nonchalantly.

She had already thought about what Annie would say in advance. No matter what the other party said, she would not waver.

Annie turned around and said, “You’d better calm down and think about what I said. I’m going to the washroom. Give me the answer when I come back.” Sophie knew what she was going to do and nodded. “Okay.”

Annie walked calmly to the washroom. Then, she opened the hidden door immediately and ran in.

She had not expected Sophie to be so impenetrable. She had cried and begged, but she had not been willing.

In that case, she had to leave as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would be bad if she was arrested. Killing Sophie was just a temporary fix. If her daughter really died, the throne would fall into the hands of others, and she might not be able to s.n.a.t.c.h it.

Might as well let Sophie be queen first and make plans later.

She finally reached the other door. When she opened it, Annie was horrified to find soldiers standing outside. Their guns were aimed at her.

Instinctively, she tried to close the door, but Sophie stepped out. “I’d advise you not to move, Mom, or they’ll shoot.”

Annie looked at Sophie with hatred. “Are you trying to kill me?”

Sophie shook her head. “I’m not you. I can’t do anything like that, but you’re going to spend the rest of your life in prison.”

To Annie, this was worse than killing her. She shouted, “Sophie, you don’t have to be hypocritical. If you have the ability, let these people shoot me. Don’t say anything that will imprison me for the rest of my life. That’s not benevolence at all.”

“I’m not going to do that,” Sophie said. “You brought this on yourself. When I let you go, you could have gone and just lived your life, but you didn’t give up. You can’t blame me.”

The soldier went over and held Annie down, then threw her into the car and sent her directly to the prison for detention.

Knowing it was all over for her, Annie cursed Sophie loudly. “Don’t you dare think you can live in peace. They won’t let you be queen. You’ll die at their hands eventually.”

Listening to her mother’s curse, Sophie’s expression did not change.

“Don’t worry, they’ll all come to accompany you.”

After returning to the palace, Gao Tian and Gao Jing silently accompanied Sophie, using their actions to tell her that the people who loved her were around.
