"Mom, save me, mom..." "Sophie, what on earth is going on?" Melody Baker panicked too, remembering the earlier scene at the Campbell Family's doorstep and feeling a sudden sinking sensation in her heart.
"We'll talk about it at the Police Station, don't waste any more time." The police officer didn't give the mother and daughter a chance to argue and directly escorted Sophie into the police car.
Standing pale-faced, Melody Baker watched as Sophie was taken away; her legs gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

Sophie was only 26, with a bright future ahead of her, and she had just had the opportunity to join Campbell corp; how could she end up in prison? "Right, I'll call James..." Fumbling through her bag in a panic, Melody Baker pulled out her phone and dialed James Campbell.
Elly Campbell was unaware of the serious trouble that the Baker mother and daughter were currently facing. After settling things, she went back downstairs.
"Jane." "Miss, do you need anything?" "I'm going to the hospital to see Great-grandfather later. Please prepare ssoup to take to him." "Of course, Miss." After instructing Jane, Elly Campbell also called her mother in Alaska to inquire about William Campbell's condition.
Ever since she noticed Lynn Clark's feelings for Adam Jones, she wasn't concerned at first, but Lynn's behavior gradually made her wary.
Lynn might not have realized how resentful her gazes toward her were, but Elly saw it clearly.
She hadn't spoken out because Lynn had indeed been very attentive in caring for William, and she didn't want to embarrass her.
Even so, she couldn't risk William's safety, particularly in this crazy world. She had to be cautious, especially after Lynn had shown strong hostility towards her on several occasions; she couldn't let William continue to stay with her alone.
Therefore, before leaving Alaska, she entrusted the care of William to her mother, which allowed her to cto Boston with peace of mind to deal with her private matters.
"Baby, you need to be a good boy at Grandma's, don't be naughty, okay?" "I know." William's soft, tender voice cthrough the phone, immediately melting Elly's heart, and involuntarily a smile curved on her lips.
"Great-grandfather isn't well, so Mommy is taking care of him for a few days before I cback to be with you, okay?" "Okay." The smile on Elly's lips spread wider, and then she heard William ask, "Mommy, have you seen Daddy? I miss him too." Upon hearing her son suddenly mention Adam Jones, the smile on Elly's lips stiffened slightly.
After a moment, she forced herself to reply, "Yes, Daddy said he misses you Prosaiche too, and he'll cto see you once he's done with his work." She heard her son's excited laughter from the other end of the phone, but her heart felt somewhat sour.
Though William didn't often show a Ethers hey keen longing for a father figure in front of her, he was only three years old fa three-year-old child, after all, wishes for a father who can play games with him and tell him stories.
More than once, she had heard William talk about kindergarteners going places with their fathers or the toys their fathers bought for them.
