Chapter 222

At a safe distance from the commotion, Sophia and Isabelle watched the entire scene with smiles on

their faces.

"Poor thing, she's lost her golden goose," Sophia mocked, sipping her juice.

"And now we just need to get rid of that kid," Isabelle said, finishing her coffee.

"I guess... but there's something I don't understand."

""What's that?"

"Roger is going to register him as his son?"

"Obviously," Isabelle said as she stood up and tossed her empty cup in the trash. "I need George to see that Roger is interested in the kid, so he can get his position back as president."

"I suppose you're right, but what about me?" Sophia asked, mimicking her and throwing away her trash as they started walking to their vehicle.

"For now, you'll act like a loving stepmother and..."

"Forget it... I don't want to be changing diapers, especially not for a kid who isn't mine."

"That's already the case, you fool," Isabelle snapped, annoyed. "But you need to say that to bother Deborah."

"Ah... got it."

"Once we have that child, we'll get rid of him."

"But... what will you tell his ex when she asks about the kid?"

That the poor thing had a terrible accident, or I'll say that De

wasn't fit to be a mother because she

neglected him, causing his death.. or whatever comes to mind when she asks."

"Well," Sophia said, not too sure about that part of the plan. "By the way, earlier... what did you give Marie?"

"A bit of aphrodisiac to ensure she ends up in Cooper's bed."

"Interesting. You seem well-prepared."

"Of course. You need to be ready for anything."

They arrived at the registry and saw Roger and Deborah just getting into the car, so they quickly went to their own vehicle to follow them.

"Are we being followed?" Deborah asked, trying to check the side mirrors discreetly.

"Hm... since we left the mall," Roger said, keeping his eyes on the road.

"Don't take this the w

"I recently noticed.

No network available now. Please check your network.

By the way, you did

a great job... haha, you almost convinced me," Roger said, trying to change the topic.

"I practiced a bit at home," she admitted, embarrassed. "And by the way, is he...?"

"Don't worry, he should be arriving at that safe place by now," Roger said, and Deborah cradled her "baby" in her arms.

After a few minutes of driving, they arrived at the registry, where Roger held Deborah's arm to give the appearance of forcing her to get out of the vehicle and enter the building. Isabelle and Sophia arrived just as they were going in, so they waited for them to come out, not wanting to alert Deborah and have her back out of letting Roger register the kid. After about 15 minutes, they emerged, with Roger carrying a folder.

That was the signal they had been waiting for to make their move.

They approached immediately.

"Well, what a coincidence," Sophia said as she walked up to them.

"Roger, what's going on?" Deborah asked, frowning.

"Isn't it obvious?" Sophia said, hugging Roger. "I'm here to take my stepson for a stroll."

"Oh no, that's not happening." Deborah said, scowling and holding James tightly. "You're not taking James."

"Deborah, stop causing a scene," Isabelle ordered. "Hand over my grandson."

"No."

"Deborah..." Roger said.

"I won't let you take my baby because I don't trust you, Deborah said, clinging to her sleeping child.

"Why don't you trust me? Do you think I'd harm my own grandson?"

"Of course, I know you could harm him because you never saw him as a real family member."

"Enough of this. Roger, take the kid," Isabelle commanded.

"What!" Deborah gasped at the order and saw Roger approaching, trying to forcibly take her son, causing him to wake and start crying. "Roger, you're hurting him!"
