Furious, she confronted Rachel, who denied any involvement. “I had no idea about a camera. That’s awful!” Rachel claimed.
Sophie didn’t believe her until she found a receipt for the surveillance device in her mother, Liz’s, belongings. Confronting Liz, Sophie learned the shocking truth: Liz had planted the camera, believing Matthew would be better off with her.
“You thought spying on me was the answer?” Sophie demanded.
“I was trying to help,” Liz insisted, but Sophie’s trust was shattered.
Sophie forced Liz to leave, vowing to protect Matthew. Her son’s words, “I want to stay with you,” reinforced her resolve.
This Christmas, Sophie realized her strength as a mother and her determination to create a safe, loving home for Matthew—no matter who tried to interfere.
