Revenge On My First Love

Chapter 182 Sophia, Do Me a Favor

"I made a lot of friends, but all of them just tried to use me to get close to my family. I thought Emilia

and Cecelia were my true friends, but I was so wrong. If I wasn't Drake's younger sister, Emilia would

ignore me. Cecelia was more snobbish. Our two families had similar social status, but she didn't help

me at that critical moment. She even took Olivia's side..."

"Only you, Sophia."

"I hurt you so many times, Sophia, but you were the only one rescuing me."

Sophia rolled her eyes at Aria. "It's not too late. I'm sure you'll know how to treat others in the future."

Instead of retorting to her, Aria nodded.

Emma found a chance and asked, "Sophia, what on earth happened?"

Sophia finished feeding Aria and was about to stand up, but the latter asked, "May I have more? I'm

still starving."

"You can eat something else in two hours."

Aria believed she could wait.

Sophia didn't know what had happened before she went to save Aria but could roughly figure it out.

However, Aria knew all the details and could tell Emma.

Although Aria wanted to ignore Emma, she explained, "After Mr. Rangel's birthday banquet, Mom, oh

no, that woman fought with Dad. I thought they only argued and didn't overthink. However, later that

night, she tied me up."

"I didn't know what she aimed to do, but I found she wanted to threaten Drake with my life, so I tried

hard to call my friends to help me. I called a lot of people, but none wanted to save me. I was too

desperate and called Sophia..."

She broke off, glancing at Sophia gratefully.

Emma soon figured out what had happened exactly. "I don't think her purpose was that simple.

Shouldn't be threatening Drake only."

Aria wasn't intelligent, but she could think of something fishy.

"Right. I also don't think so. If Olivia wanted to threaten Drake, she should have informed him. But

Drake never showed up. What else does she want?"

Sophia asked, "How about your grandpa? You've been tied up, and he's in the same house. Does he

know it?"

"Right! My grandpa." Aria looked at Sophia. "No wonder I felt something fishy. I haven't seen my

grandpa for days."

Emma furrowed her brows. "I'm afraid Olivia is going to harm the Old Riley. You are just a

smokescreen."

"Grandpa? Does she want to harm him? What has she done to him?"

They were not in Riley Manor, so none knew what had happened.

Sophia asked, feeling weird, "You were locked up, and the Old Riley might have been harmed. Drake

should have arranged a lot of his men in the house. Doesn't he know anything?"

"I do."

A man stepped into the living room.

Seeing Drake, Aria yelled while tears welled up in her eyes, "Drake!"

He looked at her. "No worries, Aria. I'm here."

Aria nodded tearfully.

Emma stood up, "Drake, what on earth has happened to your grandfather?"

"Olivia might have done something to him."

"What should we do then? Why didn't you stop her?"

"If I didn't, Olivia wouldn't expose her ambition. I must let her get dizzy with success."

"But your grandfather..."

Emma thought of the Old Riley. Although she hadn't met him after returning to Sealand, she recalled

the Old Riley favored her when she was still married to Baron.

"Don't worry. They operated on Grandpa, and I sent my men to protect him. He's going to be fine."

Sophia seemed to understand something. "Do you want your grandfather to act to Olivia?"

When Drake rushed to this villa, he felt he loved Sophia more. Drake had never expected Sophia to

risk her life to recuse Aria.

Riley Manor was a trouble spot now. Generally speaking, if Sophia didn't want to get involved, Drake

wouldn't blame her.

However, she rushed to save Aria's life as soon as she received the call. Drake believed that Sophia

must love him deeply.

This realization made him smile.

Sophia noticed his gaze and seemed to read his mind.

She looked away awkwardly and said, "I've sent Aria here. She's safe now. I gotta go."

Drake seized her wrist.

Emma winked at Aria. Although the latter didn't want to go away with Emma, she could tell Drake ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

wanted to talk to Sophia.

Therefore, Aria walked away with Emma to leave some space for Drake and Sophia.

Drake didn't let go of Sophia. "Sophia..."

"I'm too busy to stay."

"I know you are busy. Just a short conversation won't take you long."

Sophia stopped mid-step. If she repeatedly refused Drake, he would probably do something extreme.

She wouldn't give him such a chance.

"Thank you so much, Sophia."

"You are welcome. I didn't do it for you."

Drake chuckled. "I know. You'll tell me you did it for my mother's sake. Sophia, am I really not part of

the reason?"

"No, you are not." Sophia looked away in embarrassment.

"Look at me."

Sophia didn't think it was a big deal, so she looked into his eyes.

However, she had overestimated herself. Gradually, she wanted to look away again.

Drake actively approached her. "Sophia, I can understand. I wouldn't mind if you didn't tell me. But I

really feel grateful for what you did today."

"It's nothing. I feel what I did was unnecessary. Even if I didn't save Aria, you wouldn't let anything

happen to your younger sister."

Drake admitted it was true.

"Sophia, before you rescued her, I didn't realize she might be in danger. However, you did save her life.

I can also take this chance to let Aria get along with Mom. I believe they'll become real mother and

daughter pretty soon."

Sophia thought of something but kept silent.

"All the credits should go to you, Sophia. I do appreciate your help."

"I understand you are thankful to me. All right. I need to leave."

However, Drake grabbed her hand again. "Sophia, since you did us a favor, I'd love to beg you for

another favor."

"Beg me?" Sophia looked at him in surprise.

"Yes, I'm begging you." Drake looked at her sincerely.
