Chapter 1355
Seeing Sophie keep her guard up, Joseph casually strolled over to a couch and settled in.
"Sophie," he started, "if we're going by family ties, you really should be callingUncle Joe."
Noticing her icy demeanor, he pressed on, "| mean no harm, really. I've got my own things to handle, and it
seems you're in the way."
Sophie said nothing, her silence louder than words.
Joseph softened his tone, trying to reach her, "Everything I've done, it's been for my wife. | hope you get that."
He continued, his voice tinged with regret, "I genuinely think you're remarkable. If Rose were still around, she'd
be thrilled to have you as a daughter-in-law. It's just too bad... my son didn't know a good thing when he had it."
"Mr. James, | have no idea what you're talking about," Sophie replied, her voice cold as ice.

interfered with Rose, we could've been a happy family. That's something I've regretted for years."

"The day Rose died, | misunderstood her and didn't visit. | carry that regret withalways. Even after living
through this twice, my only wish is to fix my mistakes."
Joseph took a deep breath, "I think we've had smisunderstandings. If you're looking for an apology, I'm
here, sincerely saying sorry. But, hope you'll work withand share the treasure's location. If you do, you can
have all of it, and all I want is
Rose. After that, we can part ways.
What do you say, Ms. Sophie?"
"Mr. James, Joseph, you've left a trail of destruction, ruined countless families, and now you want my
forgiveness? No, | think you're just trying to get that treasure location out offaster."
Sophie cut in, her voice sharp, "You keep talking about how much you love Ruby, but where were you when she
needed you? Why weren't you with her on her last day? Your words might move you, but they don't move me!
Mr. James, you don't love Ruby like you claim."
