Chapter 139: The Owner of the Car
On that floor of the office, a middle–aged man who appeared gentle and elegant asked with a smile.
Derick looked at the newcomer, smiling as he introduced them to Sophia:
“Sophia, this was your aunt’s husband, Laurent.”
Sophia raised her eyebrows, not expecting the first person she would meet to be Laurent.
She extended her hand gently and delicately: “Hello, uncle.”
Laurent gently grasped her hand and then let go, looking at Sophia as if she were a woman of privilege
and comfort.
“Where was Sophia from and who else was in her family?”
Derick’s eyes darkened.
Sophia, tilting her head with a grin, spoke:
“I lived in Fineland with my parents since I was little, where they ran a small business. Didn’t Derick tell
you?”
Derick laughed as he loosely wrapped his arm around her waist:
“I didn’t value these things, why would I introduce them everywhere? Besides, my aunt already knew,
as for my uncle–in–law…”
After all, he was just my uncle by marriage.
Laurent gave an awkward laugh, then turned and walked away.

Derick, with his arm around Sophia, pushed the door and entered the office.
Sophia glanced around, it was a very formal American style, simple and practical, the area was large,
and the lighting was excellent.
Derick walked over to the coffee machine and began making coffee, his voice warm and clear:
“Add milk, right?”
“Correct.”
Sophia responded.
Very quickly.
Derick had prepared it and brought it to her.
“You sit by yourself for a while, when the time comes, I will take you.”
Sophia nodded, “I know, you do your thing.”
Derick gave an apologetic smile, then his assistant Hayden came in.
He nodded at Sophia, then turned to look at Derick:
“Mr. Woodward, these are the developments in the Zennland project. Since the news of your incident
came out, many groups have attempted to sabotage the project, with the Clement Group’s offensive
being the most obvious.”
Sophia couldn’t help but look over.
Derick was solemnly flipping through the documents in his hand.
It seemed not surprising.

“Proceeded as originally planned, letting the manager take over my position.”
He had been prepared for a long time, even if he was already “dead” in his home country, but nothing
could shake him.
Hayden nodded.
Sophia stood up and asked him, “Did the Cruise family encounter any problems?”
Hayden paused, looked at her, and began to speak with a smile:
“The Cruise Group was fine, with Kylan- there, no one dared to provoke.”
“However, Ms. Cruise, the projects you previously discussed with Eagle Entertainment, the Ayesa
Group, and the Clement Group, I’m afraid there might be some problems.”
Sophia frowned, her face darkening:
“What did that mean?”
That project was the top priority for Eagle Entertainment moving forward.
It was also the project that Eagle Entertainment primarily focused on with its main force.
If she lost this project, it would mean that all her previous efforts would have been in vain.
Hayden glanced at Derick, somewhat hesitant.
Now Sophia was even more anxious.

“What exactly happened?”
Hayden sighed:
Under the pretext that Eagle Entertainment was incapable of cooperation, Pierce planned to forcefully
break the contract and kick Eagle Entertainment out. He intended to take over all the shares held by
Eagle Entertainment.
However, Lydia from the Ayesa Group had not agreed at the time.
“But in the end, I didn’t know if I could keep going…”
His voice had faded by the end of his speech.
Sophia’s face had completely turned ice cold.
She couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
This Pierce, truly believed she was dead, so he couldn’t wait to take over all her rights and interests.
“Her body wasn’t even cold yet,” and he couldn’t wait to show his true colors.
Didn’t even leave a bit of face for each other.
Pierce…
This was the person she had once abandoned her family and gave up all her dignity to love.
After the divorce, he kept insisting on starting over, and for a moment, she actually believed it to be
true.
And the result?
What a slap in the face!

A pang of sourness involuntarily filled Sophia’s eyes.
Fortunately, she did not believe this man’s nonsense.
How could he possibly have been sincere?
He could even trade his own marriage, how could he possibly be moved to turn back?
Now.
It was truly at the critical moment that the true nature of people was
seen.
Her heart had simply sunk to the bottom.
Just felt it was incredibly absurd and ridiculous.
Derick glanced at her, then waved his hand, signaling Hayden to leave.
He was silent for a few seconds before he spoke:
“Sophia, did you still like him?”
Sophia’s face turned cold:
“Like? It’s enough to be foolish once in a lifetime, I can’t keep being foolish until I die, can I?”
She clenched her fists tightly, feeling an unspeakable anger surging within her.
From the very beginning, she shouldn’t have met him!
Derick walked over, patiently looking at her as he said:
“He shouldn’t have been so angry. If he wanted to steal, let him steal. At worst, we could just steal it
back. It’s not a big deal.”

Sophia looked at him for a few seconds before she let out a soft laugh:
“You were right,” I said, “I was planning to take it back.”
How could she possibly have given her heart and soul to that scoundrel for nothing!
She wanted him, Camille, and Annie to all pay the price!
Derick chuckled, just about to say something, when suddenly there was a knock at the door from
outside:
“Mr. Woodward, the meeting had just begun.”
“Understood.”
As soon as Derick finished speaking, Sophia looked at him with a smile.
“Go ahead, I took good care of myself.”
Derick nodded, stood up, and left the office.
She sat for a while, having only taken a few sips of her coffee, when she heard the sound of high heels
outside,
“Why wasn’t I allowed in?”
“Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Woodward is not here, he has gone to a meeting, you cannot just go into his office!”
The secretary outside stopped the visitor.
A sharp female voice had shouted:
Didn’t you know about my relationship with Derick? When I was with him, was there any place in this
company that I couldn’t enter?

“Ms. Sullivan, please respect yourself, the person inside is Mrs. Woodward!”
The secretary was almost unable to stop it.
The woman, seemingly mad, pushed people away and forcefully opened the office door.
Sophia stood in front of the window, the breeze gently stirring her hair.
Her profile was three–dimensional, her exquisite features stunning. Her skin was so white it seemed to
glow. She stood there, as if bathed in a soft light, exuding a sense of ethereal beauty.
The moment Virginia Sullivan walked in and saw Sophia, she was completely stunned.
Indeed, Sophia’s face was not something that could be compared with common makeup.
But it was because of this face that her beloved man was taken away!
The secretary stood in front, looking troubled: This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
“Ms. Sullivan, please leave, it’s really not convenient here!”
Virginia pushed someone away abruptly:
“Get lost, it’s not your turn to speak here!”
She looked at Sophia, feeling very unhappy inside.
Virginia was always dressed in designer brands, and her personality

seemed fiery.
She glared at Sophia, gave her a once–over, and let out a soft laugh:
“Were you the woman he hid in the mansion?”
Sophia looked at her, blinking emotionlessly.
Did not speak.
Recalled the pink Maserati that was denied entry at the manor gate.
Virginia was ignored, she stepped forward, brushing her hair:
“Let me introduce myself, before you came along, I was his girlfriend, Virginia.”
