“No, Ginger, you’re just feeling guilty. You love me. How could you ever love Nina Davis?”
“Was it because of the baby? But the baby is gone now!”
“Besides, you killed two of her children! We all know Nina Davis–she would never forgive you!”
Ginger Franklin looked at the hysterical Sophie Mitchell before him.
She was nothing like the gentle, sweet, and innocent girl he remembered. Her eyes were now filled with calculation.
But didn’t she love Josh Walton?

Why did she care so much about who he loved?
For the first time, Ginger felt a sense of revulsion toward Sophie Mitchell and quickly seized on the inconsistencies in her story.
“Even I just found out Nina was pregnant. How did you know?”
Ginger’s tone was icy, his eyes cold and menacing.
Sophie Mitchell backed away in fear.
He suddenly recalled the distress message Sophie had sent him that day, claiming Nina Davis had followed them to the hospital and dragged her into the stairwell with ill intent.
That was why, when he saw the two of them tumbling down the stairs together, he had

instinctively chosen the pregnant Sophie Mitchell without questioning. He had never doubted her before.
But now, her story seemed full of holes.
Soon, the hospital’s surveillance footage was pulled up.
In the video, Nina Davis, pale and weak, was forcibly dragged into the stairwell by Sophie Mitchell.
With a face full of malice and triumph, Sophie asked Nina who Ginger Franklin would choose.
Watching this, Ginger Franklin gasped and stood up from his chair, clutching his chest and breathing heavily.
In the final half hour of the video, Nina Davis

lay in the stairwell, blood pooling beneath her as tears streamed down her face. She kept weakly calling out, “Please, save my baby…”
She struggled to crawl upward but couldn’t manage it, eventually losing consciousness in the stairwell.
“How could you!”
Ginger Franklin exclaimed, covering his chest.
Sophie Mitchell, held down by two security guards behind him, trembled in terror.
The hospital staff around them cast looks of contempt.
One was a homewrecker who had gone so far as to kill the other woman’s child.

The other, the father of the child, had abandoned his own wife in a moment of
crisis to save another woman.
Someone in the crowd had already called the police, and the sound of sirens grew nearer.
Sophie Mitchell finally realized the gravity of the situation.
“No… it’s not like that. It was Nina Davis. She was the one who provoked me. I acted out of impulse. Ginger, you have to help me.”
In the past, Ginger Franklin had always bailed her out.
Now, instinctively, she turned to him for help. But Ginger kicked her away.
“Enough! I know Nina Davis better than you

do!”
Still not satisfied, he kicked her in the stomach over and over.
“Since you take such pleasure in hurting other people’s children, why should you be allowed to become a mother unscathed?”
Sophie Mitchell screamed in pain, clutching her abdomen and wailing, begging the medical staff to save her baby.
In reality, she was just a lowly assistant.
Her relationship with Josh Walton was never legitimate.
The initial thrill had long faded, and she
had hoped to use this child to capture Josh Walton’s heart.

The indignant medical staff only half–heartedly began to restrain Ginger Franklin and tempt to save Sophie Mitchell as the police were about to enter.
Ultimately, Sophie Mitchell lost her child, and Josh Walton returned.
Upon learning of Sophie Mitchell’s actions, he made no move, allowing the Franklin Group’s lawyers to press charges and exert pressure on her.
After being detained for half a month, Ginger Franklin finally returned home.
The moment he opened the door, he called out a name, “Nina!”
But the empty living room no longer held
that gentle, serene smile or the steaming hot meal.
