this matter over with. After all, the Bourn family initially arranged a marriage with your second son, Jonas, but you fancied that girl from the Dawson family. Look at what happened! You deceived them by replacing your son with someone else! Now, they have also switched their daughters! Letting a cripple marry into the Nicholls family is simply a big joke!” 

Sophie couldn’t hold back anymore after being repeatedly referred to as a cripple. She said slowly, “Aunt Jasmine, I understand that you are criticizing me for the sake of the Nicholls family’s reputation. However, even if you go to the Bourn family on this matter, I’m afraid you won’t be justified. After all, it was you who changed the candidate for the marriage alliance first. Moreover, I am indeed the daughter of the Bourn family. Even if I was adopted, I am still Laura’s sister. You can’t deny this even if you want to.” 

None of them expected the daughter of the Bourn family to be so assertive and dare to speak to her elders right after arriving. 

A glint flashed in Norman’s eyes. Sophie seemed to be quite interesting. 

Jasmine did not relent. “Adopted? Russell, that sly fox! He went to adopt a paralyzed person to insult us so he would not have to marry his daughter here?” 

Sophie laughed. “Sorry to inform you, but the Bourn family has adopted me for ten years. It’s just something not well known to the public.” 

Sophie had been kept in near captivity for those ten years. If it weren’t for her marrying into the Nicholls family in Laura’s stead today, perhaps no one would ever know of Sophie’s existence until her death. 

Jasmine was left speechless. Still, she found the sight of Sophie an eyesore. “You’re pretty calm, girl.

Sophie cast a glance at Norman. “You are right, Aunt Jasmine. There are elders present here. However, aren’t you also expressing your opinions? Why not calm down and listen to what Grandpa has to say? You may set a good example for me.” 

With just a few words, Jasmine’s face went dark. How could a paralyzed girl be so sharp–tongued? Sophie even managed to shut Jasmine up. 

Everyone present couldn’t help but cast a curious glance at Jasmine. They knew about her fiery. temper, and it was the first time they had seen someone shut Jasmine up so quickly. 

No one noticed that the corners of Roger’s mouth curled upward. Sophie… She was a newcomer but she couldn’t hide her personality anymore. 

Chapter 4 

Sophie had suppressed herself for a long time. She had been controlled by the Bourn family all along and had been trying to find a way to escape. 

Now that Sophie had finally escaped from there, she naturally wouldn’t give anyone a chance to bully her. To resist the Bourn family, Sophie couldn’t do without the Nicholls family for now. Since she couldn’t leave, Sophie had to fight for herself to live more comfortably. 

Norman stared deeply at Sophic, his sharp gaze gleaming with authority. After a long silence, he finally asked, “Is what you said true?” 

Sophie did not flinch under Norman’s sharp glare. “Everything is true. The Bourn family is smart, too. Since they decide to do this, they won’t allow you to find faults.” 

Even if Sophie was adopted, she was still the daughter of the Bourn family. Moreover, the Nicholls family was the one who switched first. Thus, the Nicholls family couldn’t kick up a fuss when the Bourn family switched brides after that. 

Norman naturally knew that what Sophie said was the truth. His gaze turned to Roger. “Roger, do you agree to this?” 

After all, Roger had gone personally to bring his bride home. Since he was at the scene, he must have known the truth. 

To everyone’s surprise, Roger nodded solemnly. “Yes. We’ve already obtained the marriage license.” 

“What?” Jasmine was even more shocked. “The Bourn family changed daughters at the last minute, but you didn’t come back to discuss it with your grandfather and Uncle Damian?” 

Rebecca also felt pity. “Yeah. You should have come back and discussed it with us at least.” 

When he saw their hypocritical looks, Roger spoke coldly, “Aunt Jasmine arranged the marriage. Aunt Rebecca asked me to marry on behalf of Ronald. The process was arranged by both of you. long ago. Do I have the choice?” With that statement, everyone fell silent instantly. 

Roger had no choice from the beginning. The Nicholls family’s marriage alliance didn’t even consider him previously. If it weren’t for Rebecca and Ronald Nicholls setting their sights on the Dawson family’s daughter, they wouldn’t have thought of letting Roger marry in place of Ronald. 

Norman sensed Roger’s grievances, and his eyes grew dark. He said gravely, “Roger, you’ve been treated unfairly this time. However, if you want to change, I can back you up.” 

Sophie didn’t expect that Roger was also forced into the marriage. Her hands involuntarily clenched together. She hadn’t thought that even after getting married, things might still change. If Norman insisted on canceling the marriage, the Bourn family would undoubtedly agree to it. 

Sophie couldn’t help but look toward Roger expectantly. Even though she knew he was blind, she still turned to him. With Roger’s identity as the third son of the Nicholls family, the Bourn family

would still be somewhat wary of him. At least, until she gained independence and could protect herself, Sophie needed Roger’s protection. 

Time dragged on. It was so tense that Sophie thought she could choke on her anxiety. 

Finally, Roger seemed to gaze in her direction and slowly said, “Since she doesn’t mind me, 1 will not abandon her. When I was at the Bourn family’s residence, I already decided on her. She is my wife. I’m not changing.” 

‘Wasn’t that what I said to him?‘ she thought. Sophie did not expect him to repeat those words to her. When Roger said it, they sounded even more solemn and committed. Emotions rippled outward from Sophie’s heart. 

It was also the first time the Nicholls family saw Roger, who was usually silent, speaking so solemnly for the first time. 

Norman narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt that Roger was different today, but he couldn’t pinpoint exactly how. Taking a deep breath, Norman sighed. “Alright. Since you’ve already decided on her, the marriage is a done deal.” 

“Norman!” Jasmine was extremely surprised. 

Norman raised his hand to signal Jasmine not to protest it further. Jasmine could only bite her. 

tongue. 

When Rebecca saw Roger accept the marriage, she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. She expressed her gratitude immediately. “Roger, I know it’s unfair to you this time. If you need anything in the future, tell me.” 

Such familiar words. Sophie sneered in her heart. Rebecca seemed submissive, gentle, and soft- spoken, but the tone of her promise was exactly like Ursa’s. Sophie had already seen through her. 

Seeing that things were almost settled, Roger’s mother, Daisy Nicholls, who had been silent, said, “Since Roger has agreed, we are one family from now on. I have no objections as long as you two are well. Although there was no wedding ceremony, some things still need to be done. I have prepared a welcome present for you.”
