Chapter 544 William and Hayden
Sophia was directly scared and unconscious, and when she woke up, she was brought directly in front of Finn.
However, Sophia was not stupid at all. Over the years, she and Pierre had done things that, if she told Finn, would definitely get her killed. If she didn't say anything, she might still have a chance to live. Seeing her still pretending to be pitiful and innocent in front of him, Finn was especially annoyed. He rushed over, grabbed her by the hair, and lifted her up, angrily shouting, "Are you going to talk or not?"
Her hair was connected to her scalp, and Sophia felt like her entire scalp was about to be torn off by Finn. Pain! Besides pain, there was only pain. "Finn, I don't understand what you want me to say. I... Ah!" she said.
Once again, without waiting for Sophia to finish her act, Finn disgustingly threw her away, just like throwing away a ragged sack. "Take her down and peel off a layer of her skin to see if she talks or not," Finn commanded coldly without even looking at Sophia.
"Yes, Mr. Bush Smith," the bodyguard replied and immediately went to pull Sophia up to leave. "I'll talk, I'll talk, Finn, I'll talk..." Since she said that, the bodyguard also immediately waited for Finn's command. "Then let's start from fourteen years ago, when you first seduced me," Finn said, staring at her with a terrifying voice. "Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk..." Sophia nodded vigorously and dared not continue the performance.
Sophia collapsed on the carpet and revealed everything she and Pierre had done. When she reached two-thirds of the story, she ran out of strength and fainted again. However, based on what she had said earlier, Finn had already figured out the rest and didn't need her to continue. Hayden was right. Even Mia's suicide was forced by Pierre and Sophia. "What happened to Pierre and Ophelia?" Finn asked, closing his eyes and leaning back in his chair, sighing deeply.
"Ophelia bled heavily and died on the spot, Sienna committed suicide, and Pierre went insane," Bill reported respectfully from the side. A dozen strong young thugs took turns raping Ophelia, and she surely couldn't survive. Sienna, already in her middle age, was abused to that extent and witnessed her daughter's death, so she surely couldn't go on living. The most pitiful one was Pierre, forced to witness everything, and even with the best mental resilience, he couldn't bear it.
"Could he genuinely have lost his mind, or is this an act?" Finn mused, his eyes shut as he considered the likelihood. Pierre was known for his cold-heartedness; it seemed improbable that he'd succumb to madness so readily.
"He appears to be truly deranged, yet a professional assessment would confirm it," Bill responded with deference.
Finn waved off the suggestion with a measured pause, then formed a fist and tapped it thoughtfully against his temple. After a moment of contemplation, he issued his directive, "Secure his signature on the will. Once that's done, confine both him and Sophia to the asylum in the western suburbs. House them in the same room. Limit their meals—tacos al pastor for breakfast and merely a slice of bread for both lunch and dinner."
"Yes, Mr. Bush Smith." Bill nodded respectfully and asked, "How should we explain this to the public?" Finn still had his eyes closed and said slowly, "Sophia died from a massive hemorrhage due to a miscarriage. Sienna and Hall were caught having an affair by Pierre, leading to a deadly confrontation between the brothers. Pierre, deeply affected, left all the Johnson family's assets to Daniel and then suffered a stroke with a brain hemorrhage, falling into a coma. Sienna took Ophelia and fled abroad."
In a brief moment, Finn fabricated a dramatic conflict within the Johnson family. The Imperial Capital, and even the entire country's public opinion, had always been controlled by the Bush Smith Group through several major news media conglomerates. Therefore, The Smith Group always influenced the topics of people's idle chatter. "Yes, Mr. Bush Smith," Bill nodded and signaled to the two bodyguards at the door, who immediately came in and carried the unconscious Sophia out from the carpet.
