Melinda felt that nothing she said could snap Adam back to his senses. "Fine! In that case, I'm done with you! You can go and bail Sophia out if you want, but give Lilin back to me." She took Lilin from Adam and walked out when the elevator
doors opened.
Adam caught up to them and said, "What do you expect me to do, Mel? I can't just ignore Sophia!"
Melinda took a deep breath and said disappointedly, "Go help Sophia, then. Lilin and I won't support you in this decision. We'll go our separate ways from now on. You can take Sophia, and I'll take Lilin. If Sophia does anything to hurt anyone, you can bear the consequences alone."
Adam could only remark helplessly, "Mel...Sophia isn't as evil as you make her out to be..."
Unable to bear his unreasonable remark, Melinda looked at Adam in
bewilderment and said, "Haven't you seen all those wrongdoings she did over the years? She nearly succeeded in splashing acid on Corinne today! Sophia has always resorted to extreme measures when she doesn't get what she wants, and today's incident takes the cake. Is that still not enough for you to see that she's a bad person? I'm starting to wonder what your definition of a bad person is.
"The concern you show for Sophia's well-being is so great that it comes at the expense of turning a blind eye to the harm that she could cause to others! Why must Sophia be excused from facing the consequences of hurting other people? Corinne saved my life. She might not mean much to you, but she means a lot to me. I can't bear to live with you anymore! I won't stop you from rescuing Sophia, but we're going ahead with the divorce once you're done!"
Adam was speechless. He knew that Sophia had committed much wrongdoing, but he could not bring himself to leave her be. "Mel, you're forcing me to choose between you or Sophia!"
"I'm not forcing you to choose between us," Melinda corrected him. "Lilin and I are simply removing ourselves from your life so you can pamper Sophia to your heart's content."
A trace of sadness appeared on Adam's expression and tried to strike a compromise. "I'm going to the police station just to see Sophia. I won't interfere with the police investigation. Just let me see her, Mel! Please! She's never been in such a situation before, and she must be scared at the police station!"
Before Melinda could say anything, Lilin sneered and said, "You're too soft on her, Dad. Why would someone who tried to splash acid on another person be scared so easily? She's braver than you think!" "But she's still your sister!"
"Tch! I don't want to have an evil sister like her!"
Melinda recalled just how manipulative Sophia was, so she thought about Adam's suggestion before saying, "Lilin and I will go with you to the police station on one condition-that you don't indulge any of her requests or try to protect her."
Adam felt a little conflicted but nodded regardless. "Okay. I'm not planning on doing anything anyway. I just want to go there and check on her."
