Chapter 327

Sophia Laurent clapped her hands lightly. The sharp sound echoed through the living room.

"William Lowell, your stupidity is truly one of a kind."

William's face darkened. "What do you mean?"

"You emptied your savings for Emily Lowell, yet she used the Lowell family's money to buy property for her biological parents." Sophia's lips curved slightly. "Perhaps she thinks deceiving you brings you more joy?"

William's pupils constricted. "What property?"

The entire room fell silent. All eyes turned to Emily.

Tears welled up in Emily's eyes as her shoulders trembled slightly.

"They forced me..."

She didn't dare deny it. If Sophia dared to say it, she must have evidence.

Emily's fingers dug deep into her palms. She silently vowed to make Sophia pay.

Victoria Lowell's teacup shattered on the floor.

Nathan Lowell let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with mockery.

William looked thunderstruck. He'd sold the house gifted for his coming-of-age ceremony and scrimped to give Emily an allowance, only for her to hand it over to those butcher parents?

Even the cheapest suburban property cost millions.

Richard Lowell frowned. "Emily said she was forced. What more do you want?"

William's expression softened slightly.

Sophia chuckled. "This is a society governed by law. How could they force you?" Her gaze turned razor-sharp. "Unless... you have some unspeakable secret they're holding over you?"

Emily paled and shook her head frantically. "They threatened... to take me back..."

"I just didn't want to leave this family..."

William patted her head affectionately. "Silly girl, why didn't you tell us if you were in trouble?"
