Chapter 711: Diamond Ring
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gao Tian’s body was recovering very well. When Jiang An went to the hospital to take a look again, he was already able to sit up and move. However, he was not allowed to stand yet for fear that his wound would tear again.
Sophie’s expression was much better, but she still looked a little gloomy. She smiled at Jiang An.
“I heard that we’ve already found out who did it,” Jiang An said.
Sophie smirked. “I already knew who it was. I only went to investigate to convict them. I just didn’t realize that even my own mother was involved.”
After all, the gun was obviously aimed at her back then. The person the assassin wanted to kill was her. Gao Tian was only injured because he was trying to save her.
Sophie knew it must have been Henry and John, who wanted her dead so they could return to the royal family and fight for the throne.
Unexpectedly, Annie was with them. Her mother wanted to kill her.
Even if Sophie didn’t have such deep feelings for her, it was human nature to crave parental love as a child.
She did not expect her mother to really disregard their mother-daughter relationship and point the gun at her.
Jiang An quickly comforted her. “Don’t think too much. You still have Gao Tian and Gao Jing. You have a family that loves you.”
Hearing these two names made Sophie feel better. Then, she noticed the diamond ring on Jiang An’s finger.
She wanted to change the topic and said exaggeratedly, “What’s this? Did Zou Bai propose to you?”
Only then did Jiang An remember that she still had a diamond ring on her hand. She nodded shyly.
Sophie was happy to see her friend’s happiness, not to mention that Jiang An had helped her so much. She was even more excited than if she had been proposed to herself.
“It’s a big diamond ring. He wants to tell everyone you’re married.” Sophie laughed.
Jiang An blushed. “I didn’t expect him to get such a big ring. I’ll have to put it away when I go back to filming.”
Sophie joked, “If you think it’s too heavy, give it to me. I don’t mind it.”
“Take it. I’ll go to the house where you keep the royal jewelry to choose.” Jiang An also spouted nonsense.
Sophie waved her hand. “Take your pick. As long as you don’t take the crown, everything else is yours.”
The atmosphere became much more relaxed as they chatted and laughed. Sophie’s furrowed brows finally relaxed. Gao Tian was very happy about this and hoped that Jiang An would come more often.
But happy times were short-lived. Now that they knew these people had attacked Sophie, they had to make them pay.
The crown prince had already prepared the evidence and went through legal procedures and called the police. Anyway, those people were no longer members of the royal family.
When they received the news, the three of them could not believe their ears. They had thought that Sophie would take revenge in private, but she had actually revealed the truth.
They couldn’t just sit around and wait for death. They quickly packed their luggage and quietly escaped. Other than William and Mary who could follow, the other children were all left behind.
There was no escape with such a large group of people. Besides, the children were useless. Sophie would not kill them.
The people who were left behind were so frightened that they did not know what to do. They were used to living a pampered life. They were not used to being suddenly stripped of their royal status.
They thought they could still live a good life with their father and slowly get used to it. They did not expect their father to find someone to try and assassinate the future queen then leave them behind.
They were really afraid that Sophie would get angry and make an example of them, but there was no way to run out. Everything in the house had been taken away by their father.
Sophie’s hatred for these people was deep, but they did not know what Henry and John had done. There was no need to take revenge on them. She waved her hand and said, “Arrange a place for them to stay. After the coronation ceremony, arrange for them to live ordinary lives.”
The crown prince approved of Sophie’s decision. If she really wanted to take it out on these people, it would prove that he had made the wrong choice.
However, the people who escaped could not be let off. The entire kingdom knew that these people had plotted to assassinate Her Highness Sophie, and wanted posters were posted everywhere.
Henry and John were on the run every day. They were so tired that they did not have time to think about anything else. William, on the other hand, secretly contacted forces overseas, wanting them to give him and his father protection.
However, in that case, those people would have to use their identities to interfere with Country F. In any case, even if they could not succeed, they could still stir up trouble. In the end, they would not lose anything. This was a choice he had to make.
At this moment, Annie quietly left them and turned around to head to the capital.
