Chapter 155
Joanna gritted her teeth and asked Sophia with her eyes, “Mom, when are we going to make our move?”
Sophia shook her head cautiously and looked around.
She had already arranged for someone to block the elevator to the top floor, so no one should be coming up anytime soon.
But if she wanted to completely take down Yvonne, she had to be meticulous.
Joanna couldn’t wait any longer. She grabbed Sophia’s hand, her eyes flashing fiercely.
Sophia didn’t expect Joanna to be more impatient than she was, so she took out her phone, typed a few words on it, and handed it to her. I’ll go out first, and you find a chance later.]
Joanna was reluctant at first, but Sophia held her down, and she couldn’t do anything about it.
The wind on the rooftop was getting colder and colder.
I tightened my collar, pushed back those childhood memories, and asked straightforwardly, “Dad, what exactly did my mom leave me with?”
“Well…” Yosef had played all the emotional cards he had and couldn’t stall any longer.
His expression clearly began to panic.
I sensed something was wrong, and my brows furrowed.
“Are you lying to me? You deliberately asked me to come to the rooftop. What are you trying to do?” I questioned while jumping up and taking two steps back, instinctively wanting to get away from him.
Hei
e once gave me life and a sense of security, but now he scared me so much.
An unspeakable fear began to grow in my heart.
Yosef’s face stiffened even more as he saw that I had seen through him.
He was a little anxious and stood up too. “Yvonne, what have you done to the company? Give the company back to me, okay?”
“Are you doing this for the company?” I stared at him intently.
Yosef hadn’t spoken yet when Sophia suddenly emerged from behind the flower bed
She said, “Honey, she sold your company behind your back a long time ago! I heard she sold it for 800 million, and the money is already in her pocket!”
“What?” Yosef looked at her and then at me in disbelief, “It is worth that much money?”
I narrowed my eyes, scrutinizing Sophia and the flower bed behind her.
Putting all these flowers and plants on the top deck of the cruise ship was originally intended to be visually pleasing for the guests, but I didn’t expect it to provide Sophia with a hiding place.
Since everyone was there, I decided to settle things all at once.
“You’re well–informed, I scoffed.
“It really is worth that much?” Yosef was shocked at first, but then he took my hand. “The money is all in your account? Yvonne, that money is mine too! Don’t forget, I’m your father!”
Sophia sneered, “You still expect her to give you the money? She’s already embezzled it!

Tm telling you. Yvonne, there is no way I am letting you keep it all to yourself! Hand it over, and your father and I won’t pursue this matter any further!”
“Pursue? The sale of Jackson Group was perfectly legal and compliant. What does it have to do with you? As for the shares you hold, someone will naturally pay you for them.” I had no intention of keeping all the money.
I had long prepared the money for Yosef’s shares.
“Really?” Yosef asked back, his anger somewhat subsided.
Sophia, however, was a tough nut to crack. “How much could it be? Do you want to take the 800 million dollars all by yourself? Yvonne, you ungrateful wretch! Is this how you repay your father?”
I frowned and retorted sharply, “What right do you have to interfere in our family matters? Why don’t you tell my father how you drove my mother to her death?”
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Sophia retorted anxiously.
Unfortunately, Yosef had overheard the gist of it. His eyes widened like saucers. “Sophia… what Yvonne said, is it true? What what did you do to Sienna?”
Sophia glared at me fiercely. At first, there was a flicker of guilt in her eyes, but it was quickly masked.
She said, “I didn’t do anything! I just sent her photos of us together. That’s all. That woman was too fragile. Since she chose to jump off a building, what could I do?”
In the end. Sophia’s face was full of disgust.
I exploded. “If you hadn’t sent those photos to my mother and kept stimulating her, she
“ouldn’t have died!”
“What about you? Where were you at that time? You even ran abroad to take care of a man… If you had been by your mother’s side, would she have jumped off the building?” Sophia scoffed and shifted all the blame onto me.
This was my biggest regret and the most painful thing in my life.
At this moment, it was as if she had grabbed my Achilles‘ heel, and my face instantly turned pale.
If I had been in the country at the time, my mother would have had spiritual support, and she definitely wouldn’t have chosen to jump off the building.
I thought, It’s all my fault… It’s my fault. I killed my mother!‘
Suddenly, a huge force pushed me from the right side. I was caught off guard and staggered several steps to the right.
My waist hit the railing, and just as I was about to steady myself, the force chased after me again, and I was forced to climb over the railing.
My feet were dangling in the air, and I was about to fall from the seventh floor of the cruise ship.
I gripped the railing with all my might, using every ounce of strength to cry for help, “Help…help me!”
“Yvonne!” Yosef was the first to rush over.
He tried to grab my hand and pull me up.
But Sophia rushed over to stop him. “Yosef! Let go of her! What are you doing? She sold your company, don’t you know?” “But…but Yvonne is my daughter! No, she’ll die if she falls into the sea!” Yosef became agitated, almost crying out. Blood was thicker than water, after all. At the critical moment, Yosef could no longer care about past hatred.

Chapter 155
“If she dies, you can get your company back! Are you really going to let 800 millions go? Yosef, haven’t you always wanted a son? I’ll give you one!”
Sophia’s words were too tempting.
I soon felt Yosef let go of my hand, and the force pulling me upward vanished instantly.
My hands were losing their strength, and I felt death approaching me.
At this moment, I saw through human nature clearly.
My biological father had given up on me for 800 million dollars and a son.
Yosef collapsed to the ground.
Just now, he saw the cold and ruthless side of himself.
In the past, for his own selfish desires, he allowed Sienna to commit suicide.
Now, for 800 million and a son, he sacrificed his daughter.
He was shocked as he thought, “What kind of person am I? How can I do such a beastly thing?”
He couldn’t face himself like this, so he kept backing away, wanting to get away from my hands that were still clutching the railing.
They seemed to be mocking and criticizing him.
He took two steps back, and his hand suddenly touched a foot.
He was so scared that he trembled all over. He hurriedly looked up and saw Joanna standing behind him.
Her hands were stiff, her eyes dull.
Yosef then remembered that it was Joanna who suddenly rushed out and pushed Yvonne away.
He said, “It was you! You pushed Yvonne!”
