Chapter 98: Her Gift

Emily Allen and Mia Stewart were both seething with anger.

However, Ethan Allen seemed pleased. Sophie Allen's entrance was quite spectacular, saving his face.

After all, Sophie was also his daughter — even though he did not care for her much, if she disgraced herself in public, it would also bring a loss of face for him.

Under the scrutiny and murmur of the crowd, Sophie navigated her way through, arriving in front of the Allen family.

"Dad, Auntie Stewart." Sophie extended a soft smile, then turned toward Emily: "Happy birthday, sister."

"Sister, you are a year older than me. I rushed here so I didn't know what gift to get for you."

This intimate address as 'sister' pointed to all the past grievances.

Everyone knew that she was the legitimate daughter. Her mother, Sophia Thompson, was Ethan's actual first wife.

The Allen family business was built from scratch with Sophia's help.

By indirectly pointing this out, she exposed Emily's identity as an illegitimate child.
