Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Plans to eliminate her!

As Sophia continued her stroll down the hallway, she noticed a faint murmur emanating from behind one of the doors. Her curiosity piqued, she wondered who could be having a conversation in hushed tones. She felt an overwhelming urge to know more, and her feet seemed to move of their own accord, drawing her closer to the door.

As she approached the door, Sophia's heart began to beat faster, and she could feel her senses heightening. She leaned in, her ear inches from the door, and strained to listen. The voices grew louder, and she could make out the words.

"Ahh... I thought you said he doesn't have any relatives," a male voice said, laced with a hint of surprise.

"Yes, I did a lot of research, and I couldn't find any relatives of his," a female voice replied, her tone dripping with malice.

Sophia's eyes widened as she listened, her mind racing with the implications of their conversation. Who were they talking about? And what did they mean by "relatives"?

The male voice spoke up again, his tone laced with concern. "Ahh... what are we going to do now? Our plan would be ruined if Mr. Jonathan decided to make this new visitor the heir."

The female voice responded, her words sending a chill down Sophia's spine. "Ahh... I don't know, our plan would be ruined, if Mr. Jonathan decided to make this new visitor the heir...

Do not worry, we will find a way to eliminate her."

Sophia's heart skipped a beat as she heard the words "eliminate her." She felt a surge of fear, and her mind racing with questions. Who were these people? And why did they want to harm her? It was clear they were referring to her.

Before she could process her thoughts, Sophia heard the sound of footsteps approaching the door. She knew she had to hide, and fast. She quickly scanned her surroundings, her eyes landing on a nearby flower porch. She darted behind it, holding her breath as the door creaked open.

A man and a woman emerged from the room, their faces obscured from Sophia's view. They glanced around cautiously, their eyes scanning the hallway as if searching for someone. Sophia held her breath, hoping she wouldn't be discovered.

The couple began to walk down the hallway, their footsteps echoing off the walls. Sophia watched them from her hiding spot, her mind racing with questions. Who were they? And what are there plans?

As she watched, Sophia noticed something peculiar. The woman's hair seemed familiar, and her posture reminded her of rachel. A shiver ran down Sophia's spine as she wondered if she was seeing things.

The couple disappeared from view, leaving Sophia to process her thoughts. She felt a sense of unease, knowing that there were people in the mansion who seemed to want her harm. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing heart.

After a few moments, Sophia emerged from her hiding spot, her eyes scanning the hallway cautiously. She decided to continue her exploration of the mansion, hoping to uncover more secrets and piece together the mystery.

As she walked, Sophia came to the end of the hallway, where she found a door that seemed to lead to the garden. She pushed it open, and a warm breeze greeted her, carrying the scent of blooming flowers. Sophia stepped out into the garden, her eyes drinking in the beauty of the surroundings.

But despite the peaceful atmosphere, Sophia's mind remained troubled. She couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being watched, and the words "eliminate her" continued to echo in her mind.
