Marnie hugged Sonia and said, "You have to work hard, too. Marry into a powerful family soon, and give me something I can be proud of."
As long as Sonia married well, Marnie believed that Skyler would no longer dare to sneak around behind her back.
Sonia understood what Marnie meant, but the way Lucius was treating her chilled her heart.
She would never forget what had happened on the cruise ship.
If she hadn't blurted out in a panic that she had found the whereabouts of Phantom Healer, she might have been the one thrown into the sea.
Sonia didn't know whether Valerie was dead or alive, only that Lucius had leapt in after her without any hesitation when she fell into the sea.
After being rescued, Sonia used all of her connections to inquire about Lucius and Valerie's whereabouts.
She was hoping that Valerie had perished, and Lucius had somehow survived.
After all, the White family was a powerful backer that she had worked so hard to secure for herself.
If she lost that connection, climbing back into the upper social circles would take time and careful maneuvering.
Left with no other choice, Sonia was forced to use her trump card, Hannah. She immediately called Azure Bay.
Sure enough, it was Hannah who answered the call. Suppressing her excitement and pretending to be calm, Sonia asked, "Is Mr. White at home right now? He saved my life on the cruise ship, so I'd like to thank him in person."
Hannah didn't seem suspicious at all on the other end. "Hello, Ms. Woodward. Mr. White isn't feeling well, so he's resting at home and doesn't plan to see anyone for the time being."
Sonia let out a sigh of relief.
Judging by Hannah's tone, it seemed like Lucius was still alive.
