Annie did not believe that her daughter would really deal with her. After all, she was the one who had given birth to Sophie after ten months of pregnancy. They were connected by blood.
The best course of action was to concentrate the firepower on Henry and John, then go to Sophie herself and beg her, as her mother, to let her go.
Sophie's heart would soften, and she would definitely agree. When the time came, she would just push all the blame onto them.
Annie knew that now was not the time to fight for the throne. Staying alive was the most important thing.
She should not confront Sophie now. She planned to charm her with her mother's affection, and wait until she was back in the royal family to make plans. There was always a way to take the throne.
Sophie didn't know that Annie had such a fantasy. After the doctor confirmed that he only needed to recuperate, she took Gao Tian back to the palace, where security was the tightest.
