Chapter 434
Jason immediately recognized the woman as Harriet. He could not help but frown, wondering what was wrong with her. Harriet was obsessed with her late husband so he couldn’t understand why she was doing this.
Before Jason could figure it out, the man beside him suddenly extended a firm arm. No one knew what he did, but when Harriet got close, she was thrown back forcefully.
Sophia had run down from the second floor then and tried to steady Harriet. However, the Impact was too great, and they fell to the ground.
Jason’s expression changed abruptly. He ignored the probing gazes around him and strode to the women. “Sophia, are you alright?”
When Jason said this, the surroundings instantly fell silent. The few bystanders held their breaths and looked straight at the woman on the ground.
With just one glance, everyone’s faces were filled with shock. “Isn’t she Mrs. Wilson?” someone exclaimed.
Everyone in Cester City knew Sophia was Jason’s precious. He had treasured her for years. Since Sophia’s death,
Jason had been ill.
Jason looked glorious on the surface, but there was always pain in his eyes. His eyes were dim, and from his dark. pupils, one could clearly see death and desolation.
Someone once said that if one looked into Jason’s eyes for too long, they would not be able to hold back their tears. This was because Jason had hidden the pain of losing his wife in the depths of his eyes. He lived a lowly life, struggling at death’s door.
But now, the dead person had suddenly appeared… Of course, everyone would be surprised.
Sophia’s back hit the steps. Her spine hurt like it was about to break. She subconsciously frowned and was about to reach out to push Harriet.
However, Harriet was one step ahead of Sophia. She suddenly jumped up from the ground and walked toward the CEO of Gibson Group not far away.
Sophia hurriedly raised her hand to pull Harriet’s arm but missed. It even worsened the pain in her back. She hissed in pain,
Jason hurriedly bent down. He wanted to check on Sophia’s condition but was afraid she would be disgusted. He could only ask anxiously, “Where are you hurt?”
Sophia did not respond. She swept her gaze across the surrounding crowd and sighed helplessly.

It wouldn’t take long for the news to spread through Cester City that Jason’s wife, rumored to be dead, had
returned
Jason mistakenly thought that Sophia did not want to reveal her identity. He comforted her gently, “Don’t worry.
I’ll tell them to keep it a secret.”
Sophia looked at Hamet.
Seeing that Harriet was not as reckless as before and was only standing a few feet away from the man and looking at him with tears in her eyes, Sophia could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
“Who is he?” Sophia lowered her voice and asked Jason.
When Jason saw that Sophia was willing to talk to him, a hint of joy appeared on his face. Without thinking, he sold out the identity of his partner. “He’s Cody Gibson, the head of the Gibson family in Travos. Why? Do you know
him?”
Jason had never met Harriet’s husband, so he did not know that the CEO of the Gibson Group looked like her late
husband.
‘No, they are not very similar. They are the same person.‘ Up close, Sophia felt that Cody was Norman. She thought, ‘is Cody the head of the Gibson family in Travos? He is really… a big shot.”
Sophia remembered that Harriet’s husband, Norman, was an orphan. She wondered if he was the oldest son of the
Gibson family that was raised outside.
Although Sophia had never interacted with the Gibson Group from Travos, she knew that the eldest son of the Gibson family had never shown his face. Some people said that Cody was sick and was bedridden at home. Others said Cody was separated from his family when he was young and did not return until a few years ago.
Sophia wondered if the latter was true. “He looks exactly like Harriet’s husband, Norman.”
When Jason heard this, shock appeared in his eyes, but it was fleeting. Since he found out that his wife was still alive, he understood that anything was possible in this world.
“It is cold on the ground. Let me help you up first,” Jason said.
At the same time, Harriet bit her lips tightly. Her tear–filled eyes were fixed on the handsome face she had been. thinking about for years. “Normie, why did you fake your death and lie to me?”
From Harriet’s tone, she was now certain that Cody was her husband.
