Chapter 3 The " Guardian Project " was her late father's most cherished initiative : a de project for advanced smart bionic limbs . Her father had dedicated his life to philanthropy , and his dream was to see this project succeed and benefit countless people with disabilities . ] Sophic had pushed herself to oversee it for months , even during her pregnancy . It was only when the project was on stable ground , right before she gave birth , that she finally stepped back . When Sophie arrived at the company , her assistant was frantic " Ms. Harris , Mr. Wilson has handed over everything to Assistant Moore . We're completely in the dark . " Sophie's expression was calm . " It doesn't matter . Let's go to the CEO's office . I know Matthew's password . " [ ] Moments later , Monica rushed to block her path . ] " Mrs. Wilson , I'm afraid you can't go in . " [ ] Her lips were swollen , a clear love bite on her neck , and her face was a mask of smug arrogance . [ ] " You can't enter without the CEO's permission ! " Sophie pushed past her coldly . " Move . I personally managed this project . I have the right to review it . " || " You abandoned this project when you were pregnant . Now you want to waltz in and steal someone else's credit ? I don't think 50. " 1 Unable to stop her , Monica spat out the venomous words . Just then , Matthew hurried in , a note of panic in his voice . " Why did you leave early ? You didn't wait for me . " Sophie laughed bitterly to herself . You were busy with Monica . You had no time to leave with me . She handed him a file . " Matthew , look at this data ! The prosthetic materials were all supposed to be imported . Why have they been swapped for cheap , shoddy substitutes ? " ] " Who switched the suppliers to line their own pockets ?" ] The products had been compromised by Monica , who used inferior materials and cut corners , with the price difference disappearing into thin air . ] Matthew's brow furrowed , clearly realizing something was wrong Monica's face went white . She stammered , " Mr. Wilson had nothing to do with it I'm sorry , ma'am , I just wanted to make some extra money for my son ... " ] " If you're going to blame someone , blame me . " ] She wept prettily , and Matthew's eyes instantly filled with pity . [ ] Sophie scoffed . " An apology is useless . What you did constitutes fraud . I'm calling the police . " ] Just as she spoke , a small figure darted out and slammed into her " You mean lady , don't you bully my mommy ! Daddy , get her ! " ] ] The shrill , childish voice echoed through the office . ] It was Joseph . ] ] Sophie grunted from the impact , her face instantly turning pale . The nearby employees ' expressions shifted in shock Matthew rushed forward . " Sophie , are you okay ?" Monica quickly pulled Joseph to her side , feigning a scolding . " Joseph , that's so rude ! Apologize to the lady right now ! "[ ] Then she turned to Sophie . " Ma'am , hit me , yell at me , do whatever you want , but please , don't take it out on a child . " [] But Sophie could see the triumph hidden in her eyes . ]] Before Sophie could respond , Matthew interjected , " Don't yell at him . He's just a kid , he doesn't know any better . " He turned to Monica . " He didn't mean it . Take him home . I'll explain things to Sophie . " ] Sophie stared directly into Matthew's eyes , her words slow and deliberate . " Explain what ? That he called me a ' mean lady ? Or that he called you Daddy ? " She was done watching this disgusting soap opera . She turned and walked out . [ ] Matthew hurried after her . " Sophie , her son is only six years old . Why are you picking a fight with a child ? " Sophie clenched her fists . " He's vicious for his age , which is a clear sign of bad parenting . Why shouldn't I care ? Unless .... is he your son ? " Matthew's expression changed , and he feigned anger . " What are you talking about , Sophie ? How could he possibly be my child ? Our daughter is my only child . " Even now , he was still lying . Sophie laughed , a bitter , self - mocking sound , and looked up at him . ] " Then what's our daughter's name ? It seems ... you haven't even bothered to name her yet , have you ? " []
