America: Starting with the Last Liberty

The beautiful woman walked out of the intensive care unit with her head down, only raising it when she reached Rosen.

The two locked eyes, and Rosen noticed anger in the beautiful woman's eyes.

"You're following me?"

The woman spoke very softly, clearly because she didn't want others to hear her.

"Ms. Sofia, please don't be so self-important! A friend of mine is in the hospital, and I'm here to keep him company!"

Rosen also lowered his voice, then picked up his coffee and sandwich and showed them to Sophia.

Sofia then realized that she had been a bit rash, which was probably related to the pressure that Francis had put on her these past two days.

"Sorry! I... I might be a little nervous!"

"This isn't the place to talk. Come with me!"

Rosen noticed that the men in black guarding the intensive care unit had noticed Sophia and him, and immediately turned and left the corridor.

Sophia hesitated for a moment, then pretended nothing had happened and walked forward, though she was actually keeping an eye on Rosen's movements out of the corner of her eye.

A few minutes later, the two met in another corridor.

Sofia nervously glanced around, as if worried that someone was watching her.

"Mr. Rosen, are you really here to provide companionship?"

"It's the real deal. If you don't believe me, I can take you to my friend's hospital room."

"No need, I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

Rosen raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Ms. Sofia, is someone threatening your life?"

Sofia pursed her lips, seemingly embarrassed to speak.

Seeing this, Rosen had no choice but to remind the other party again.

"Ms. Sophia, you've already said you don't have that much time, so it's best not to waste any more time."

These words finally prompted Sofia to speak again.

"I feel that my godson, Francis Richie, has special feelings for me."

Rosen wasn't surprised; it was perfectly normal for others to have special thoughts about a woman as beautiful as Sophia.

Especially since Sofia's husband has now suffered a stroke and lost consciousness, she has become even more alluring and tempting.

Just as Rosen said at St. Mary's Church, a precious canary does not gain freedom by losing its owner.

"So, after the canary's previous owner lost their abilities, someone was already eager to become the new owner?"

Sophia glared at Rosen, not knowing why she couldn't control her emotions in front of him.

"Mr. Rosen, what do you mean by that!"

"Ms. Sophia, don't get so agitated! I'm just reminding you, making you understand the predicament you're facing. Besides, you look much better when you're angry than when you're all gloomy."

Rosen's words startled Sophia, and she then looked away in a fluster, no longer daring to look directly at his face.

"Mr. Rosen, you said you have a way to deal with Francis Richie, is that true?"

"Of course, but I need a suitable opportunity to expose it face to face, and that's where I'll need your help."

"What should I do?"

"Find a suitable opportunity, preferably during a Bonanno family gathering, and let me into the gathering place. I will make sure Francis Rich is completely finished."

Sofia nodded.

"I'll ask the Bonanno family when they've been gathering recently."

"Ms. Sophia, this matter must be handled quickly! Just last night, Francis Rich orchestrated the elimination of more than a dozen mid-level executives of the Bonanno family. He is accelerating his efforts to seize power, and if he succeeds, you should know what that means."

The information Rosen provided made Sophia's eyes widen. She knew, of course, what this meant: it meant she might have to continue being a kept woman for the rest of her life.

At this moment, Sophia suddenly began to doubt herself, and her eyes became misty.

"How could this happen? Can we really succeed?"

Well, this woman was originally a weak-willed woman, so even though old Martin almost directly caused the death of her parents, she still obediently lived as a kept woman for ten years without ever thinking of revenge.

Rosen had previously mentioned that Sofia had the opportunity to directly retaliate against Old Martin, since history has proven that the honey trap is timeless.

Many heroes and dynasties have fallen because of women. If Sofia were to harden her heart, she could certainly change the situation.

pity……

However, Sofia was a formidable character, so Rosen was out of the picture.

Rosen began to fully unleash the power of the Joker Ace, his tone of voice seemingly possessing a special magic.

"Ms. Sofia, are you very scared?"

Sophia nodded involuntarily.

"But let me tell you, fear is useless! You will only gain true freedom by taking down Francis Ritchie!"

Sofia breathed heavily, and tears still streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"I can't do it! I really can't!"

Rosen suddenly grabbed Sophia's chin, forcing her to look directly into his eyes.

"Think of your father who committed suicide, think of your mother who died of illness, do you still remember their faces?"

Sofia's pupils dilated and contracted repeatedly, indicating that she was going through a fierce internal struggle.

"You were powerless to change anything before, but now an opportunity is presented to you. Do you still want to continue wallowing in this despair?"

Sofia bit her lip, her eyes starting to dart around, revealing that she was still instinctively resisting Rosen's words.

"Look me into my eyes, Sofia! The only way to overcome fear is to face it head-on!"

Sofia simply closed her eyes and stopped looking into Rosen's eyes.

It seems that people who are naturally weak are not so easy to change.

Rosen had no choice but to resort to his trump card.

"Sophia, if you don't believe in your own abilities, why not believe in me!"

These words made Sophia open her eyes again and look at Rosen.

"Do I trust you?"

The two stood by the window in the corridor, and a ray of sunlight shone on Rosen, giving him a soft halo.

At that moment, Rosen seemed like an angel who had descended to earth.

"Yes, don't think about anything, just follow my instructions and do what you're supposed to do! The rest is up to God!"

"The rest is up to God..."

Sofia kept muttering to herself, her eyes gradually hardening.

"I understand, I will do as you say! I should go now, otherwise it will arouse suspicion from those people."

As she spoke, Sofia wiped away her tears and turned to walk towards the hospital entrance.

Rosen breathed a sigh of relief; he had finally gotten rid of this woman.

They still have to play the religion card.

Sofia's weekly prayers at the Cathedral of St. Mary, rain or shine, demonstrate that she was a devout believer.

Therefore, the Religious card is most effective for Sophia, but it's unknown how long this effect will last.

No one knows when a person with a weak will will break down.

"Looks like I need to speed things up. Maybe I should just change the name to Jehovah?"
