Chapter 5 Everyone turned . I let out a breath - finally , she was here . I looked at the newcomer . Sophia . With some gold chain - wearing businessman right beside her . There she was - finally showed up ! Couldn't control the nerves building inside me . After more than a decade , she looked the same but different . These past years wore her down . Compared to me ? She looked rough - wrinkles showing through her heavy makeup . She walked over holding the middle - aged dude's arm . My son William frowned hard . " Who are you ? " " This is your Aunt Sophia . " I jumped in . Sophia got all worked up . " NO ! Kid , I'm your real mother ! " The whole room exploded . Everyone stared at me in shock. My son raised an eyebrow . " You're lying . You're the one who had a baby and ran off - Grandpa and Grandma are raising that kid . " I'd never hidden Sophia's existence . When the kids were little and asked about their grandparents . I told them straight up their grandparents were alive . But I didn't wanna go back there . Also told them about Sophia having a baby and them trying to force me to adopt it . So Marcus's whole family knew about the bad blood between Sophia and me . Now Sophia started crying : " Son , she's lying ! After I had you , I had the doctor take you to the Hartley house so your grandparents could watch you . But your mom stole you away . " " All these years , she hasn't come back ' cause she was afraid you'd be found ! " " Sister , why would you do this ? I've been searching for my child this whole time . You can't keep tearing us apart like this . " Everyone watched her sob like crazy . But quickly realized something was off . She looked up and around . Saw everyone staring at her with disgust . She panicked : " Why don't you believe me ? It really was her ! " " That's not right ! " Mrs. Rodriguez stepped up . " Sophia , don't you dare spread lies . When Harold Ming brought that baby over ? He said it was Mia's son . After Mia beat the crap outta him , he changed his story and said it was your baby . " " Then we called the cops . He finally admitted you had the baby and ran off . Dumped the kid on your parents . " " How were two old people supposed to raise a baby ? So they got rid of it ! " Sophia was shook ! 0936 Raise Your Bastard ? Nah . Reborn to Return Your Future Jailbird ! 2.9 % Chapter 5 Mom jumped up : " I didn't get rid of him ! I had someone take him to Mia's work ! " Mrs. Rodriguez snorted : " I went to Mia's wedding and never saw any kid ! " " Yeah , Mr. Hartley , you and your wife can't just make stuff up ! " Mom got desperate : " I had someone take him to Mia's company ! Sophie , don't be confused - your sister helped raise your child all these years . You should be thanking her ! " " Look how well the boy turned out - he got into Harvard ! " Mom was really scared this whole thing would blow up . Especially seeing the look in my eyes . For some reason she was terrified and quickly switched up . Sophia wiped her tears and turned to me : " Sister , I guess I misunderstood . But son , I really am your birth mother ! " My son looked at her all confused , then at me : " Stop lying . I'm not your son ! " My mother - in - law stepped forward and slapped Sophia across the face : " What bullshit are you talking !
