Chapter 340 The Past I Don't Want to Remember Libbie's voice gradually brought Sophia back to reality.
Thinking about her friends nearby made Sophia feel less afraid.
But Sophia knew Tobias wouldn't let her off so easily.
She didn't want Tobias to harass her friends.
"I'm fine," Sophia said, forcing a smile.
Libbie could tell Sophia was hurting inside, even though she was trying to put on a brave face.
Libbie helped Sophia into the break room. They still had a few scenes to shoot today and couldn't afford any more delays.
Sophia quickly adjusted her emotions and went back to work.
What they didn't know was that someone had been watching from a distance.
That person had seen everything that happened between Sophia and Tobias.
She hadn't expected to stumble upon such a secret while taking a break.
Although she didn't know the full story between Sophia and Tobias, she wasn't about to let this opportunity slip away.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Tobias, who had clearly just gotten out of prison, was a hot topic. After all, Sophia had always claimed she was an orphan who grew up alone. She looked at the photo in her hand and made a call to a newspaper.
"I have sexplosive gossip for you, and I'm willing to provide it for free..." The next day.
The shoot had been halted due to a technical issue, and she had hoped to get srest, but Libbie's incessant calls woke her up.
"What's going on?" Sophia asked, rubbing her eyes as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
Libbie's anxious voice cthrough the phone.
"Sophia, there's real trouble this time..." Libbie explained the situation bit by bit. Sophia didn't need to check the trending topics to know how badly she was being smeared and criticized.
As Sophia listened to the last sentence, her phone slipped from her hand.
"Everyone is demanding you acknowledge Tobias as your father, or they'll call the police." Sophia was trembling, unable to form a complete sentence.
She wanted to hide, just like before, to find a place where no one could find her, as long as she could stay away from Tobias...
Libbie sensed the silence on Sophia's end and immediately tried to calm her down. "Sophia, don't overthink it. Wait for me. I'm coming over right now!" Libbie didn't waste any time. She hung up and grabbed her car keys, heading out the door.
Sophia hid in her bedroom, wrapping herself in a blanket. She didn't dare look at her phone or read the comments, afraid of seeing anything about the past.
She knew someone must have taken pictures of Tobias visiting her yesterday and maliciously posted them online, speculating about her past. She didn't want to remember, didn't want anyone to know how terrible her past was, and certainly didn't want anyone to find out she had killed someone...
Tpassed slowly, and Libbie finally arrived as quickly as she could.
She opened the bedroom door and saw Sophia curled up in the bed, her heart aching as she went over to hug her, gently stroking her head.
"Sophia, don't be afraid. I'm here. None of this is your fault, and it has nothing to do with you." Libbie kept comforting her softly as Sophia cried in her arms.

I was living just fine. Why does he have to disturb me? I didn't want to hurt him... But if I hadn't fought back... that person would have..." Libbie knew these past events were a deep pain in Sophia's heart.
She didn't say anything, just held Sophia quietly, staying with her.
Sophia didn't know how long she cried before falling asleep in Libbie's arms.
Libbie gently laid Sophia down and covered her with a blanket, just as she heard a knock at the door.
She went to open it and saw Steven, out of breath from running.
"How is Sophia?" Steven asked.
"She's asleep. Stay with her," Libbie replied.
"Okay." Libbie handed Sophia over to Steven and went to the stuto handle things. Steven entered the bedroom and saw Sophia sleeping. He frowned, feeling a pang of sorrow, and went over to smooth her brow, staying by her bedside.
He held Sophia's hand and whispered, "Sophia, I'll take care of everything. I won't let anyone hurt you, and I won't let those who have hurt you get another chance." Steven's words seemed to have a calming effect. Even in her sleep, Sophia heard them and slept peacefully, without any signs of distress.
Meanwhile.

Tiffany woke up and saw the news. She was so angry she skipped m breakfast and/immediately set out to clear Sophia's name. She wouldn't let any of the online attackers off the hook, taking screenshots of all the comments as evidence.
Leon, knowing Tiffany was upset, wanted to help. As s soon as he got to the office, he had the company issue a statement in support of Sophia.
This was the first tLeon had publicly supported a female celebrity, and many people began to change their stance.
They thought Sophia couldn't be the kind of person who would abandon her father for her own success.
And with her father in prison, possibly for a serious crime, it seemed reasonable for Sophia to disown him.
Seeing the online sentiment shift, the person who leaked the news couldn't sit still. She spent a lot of money hiring hackers to dig up dirt on Sophia. Though they weren't as skilled as Steven, they were still capable and found sinformation.
Sophia's hometown was uncovered, and she sent people to investigate.
But there was nothing worth revealing.
Finally, she decided to approach Tobias, thinking he might have suseful information.
She had the hackers pinpoint Tobias's location and set out to find him.
Tobias was sleeping on a park bench. When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him.
"Who are you?" Tobias asked, frowning.
"I'm someone who can make you rich, but you have to doa favor," she replied.
"What favor?" Tobias asked cautiously, not wanting to get into any more trouble.
She smiled, took off her sunglasses, and said slowly, "Helptake down Sophia, your precious daughter."
