Chapter 239

Sophia Laurent's slender fingers glided across her phone screen.

The comments defending Emily Lowell made her lips curve slightly.

"Our Emily is pure and kind-hearted. Unlike you with your scheming mind."

"Growing up in that environment explains your dark personality."

"Stop mentioning Emily. You're only embarrassing yourself."

Adrian Valdemar observed the girl in the backseat through the rearview mirror.

His gaze had lingered on her since she entered the car.

Sophia wore a black turtleneck that accentuated her snow-white skin.

Her thick lashes cast shadows under her eyes.

Her red lips curled in a faint smile.

Even after encountering countless beauties, Adrian had to admit Sophia possessed lethal allure.

This only heightened his wariness.

A woman who suddenly married into wealth always had ulterior motives.

Even if she helped him today, his guard wouldn't lower easily.

Sophia remained oblivious to Adrian's scrutiny.

Her delicate fingers tapped the screen as she posted another update:

"Twenty-three years ago, Emily Lowell and I were born in the same hospital and accidentally switched."

"Her adoptive parents are my biological ones."

"Derek Langley is her maternal uncle."

Those few sentences ignited the internet.

The comment section exploded.

"Switched at birth? Isn't this a novel plot?"

"So Sophia is the real Lowell heiress?"

"Everything Emily has now rightfully belongs to Sophia?"

Emily's fans fell silent.

Their proud "Lowell heiress" title—

The luxurious jewelry, mansions, sports cars—

All should have been Sophia's.

Even those doting older brothers belonged to Sophia by blood.

After a long pause, a fan weakly defended:

"Even if identities got mixed up, the Lowells prefer Emily because she's more outstanding..."

Sophia's eyes flashed with irony at the comment.

Adrian noticed her expression change.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened.

What scheme was this woman plotting now?
