Chapter 26
People looked over.
Derick stood there with a sneer on his cold face. He held a mobile phone, which was recording. It had lasted for a while.
Emelia immediately dropped to the ground again. Her face was ghastly pale. Emelia grabbed her clothes tight with her hands.
Then, Emelia closed her eyes and fainted.
The minute Pierce raised his head and saw Derick, the look on his face was stiff. Pierce squinted his eyes, looking at Derick sharply.
“Derick?”
It looked like Pierce knew about Derick’s whereabouts.
Chapter 26
“Long time no see, Mr. Clement. No, we haven’t met before.”
A deep look flashed through Derick’s eyes. With a polite smile, Derick deliberately acted not so cold and looked gentle.
Derick’s and Pierce’s eyes looked alike. But at that moment, it was very easy to tell their big difference.
Pierce looked indifferent and cold.
Derick was mysterious and deep. People couldn’t see him through or get close to him.
The next second, Derick put his phone down and strode over to Sophia. He directly handed his phone to Sophia.
“I recorded it all. I think you need this.”
Chapter 26
Derick had no intention of saying more to Pierce.
Sophia paused and was a little surprised. Then, she smiled at Derick gratefully.
“Thank you, but no. I don’t need to explain to anyone.”
Sophia chuckled. Then, she turned around and left, not even taking a look at Pierce.
Derick raised a slight smile and then followed her.
The next second.
Derick suddenly held Sophia’s shoulders. Sophia’s body turned stiff. When she wanted to stay away, Derick said in a low voice.
“Don’t you want to get rid of that woman?”
Sophia paused for a moment.
She tilted her head, gazing at Derick coolly with her bright eyes.
Derick seemed to know something.
He raised a grin casually. His eyes were so deep that Sophia couldn’t figure out what he was thinking.
“Let me help you.”
After getting out, Sophia stood there still, and Derick let go of her shoulders. They were distant and polite again.
Sophia looked at Derick with a faint smile.
“Mr. Woodward, you must have done a lot of research before you came to
Otherwise, Derick wouldn’t have recorded everything with his phone.
Derick stroked his eyebrow. His eyes were as deep as the sea.
“I want to protect you.”
Derick suddenly said that. Sophia wasn’t moved. She just looked at his. face.
There seemed to be deep affection in Derick’s eyes. But it looked deliberate. Sophia chuckled and looked away.
“Mr. Woodward, I can deal with my own stuff. You don’t need to worry.”
Then, Sophia turned around and was about to leave.
Chapter 24
Derick followed her, speaking in a gentle and deep voice.
“Pierce isn’t the father of Emelia’s son.”
Sophia suddenly stopped. Her expression changed a little. Sophia looked back at Derick in shock.
Derick walked to Sophia and stood in front of her calmly. His tall figure. cast a shadow over her. Derick raised a sneer.
“They are all lying to you. Only you got hurt because of the lies. Ms. Cruise, I really want to help you.”
“What do you know?”
Sophia was trembling all over slightly. She calmed down and looked at Derick.
Sophia wondered, “Pierce isn’t the father of Emelia’s kid?
“How is that possible?
“Why would Pierce raise another man’s kid?
“How ridiculous!”
Derick seemed to have a lot of secrets. Sophia felt like he was a dangerous man, but she really wanted to know the truth.
Derick laughed. It seemed that he knew how Sophia would react.
“I know a lot, Ms. Cruise. If you don’t believe me, you can find a chance to verify the fact.”
Derick looked back at the hospital’s gate with a smile. His eyelashes cast shadows over his eyes. Sophia couldn’t tell what Derick was thinking.
Chacker 26
Derick’s driver happened to come to pick Derick up. Derick nodded, got into the car, and then left.
Sophia stood there still for a while. When she was about to get into her car, Pierce’s cold voice came behind her.
“Why were you with Derick?”
Emelia was injured. Pierce asked Devan to send her to the ward and didn’t listen to Sophia’s extra explanation.
Thinking of how Derick held Sophia’s shoulders and left with her just now, Pierce wondered when they had become so close.
He thought, “Maybe they did it on purpose to irritate me.”
Pierce had mixed feelings. He was anxious and upset, but he couldn’t vent them.
Chapter 24
Sophia’s face was a little pale. She didn’t want to talk to Derick.
What Derick said just now was shocking.
Sophia wanted to know if it was true.
She retrained her emotions. Sophia opened the door. But before she got into the car, the door was held by Pierce.
“He isn’t a good person. You’d better stay away from him.”
Pierce’s voice was deep. It sounded like he was warning Sophia.
Sophia glanced at him expressionlessly and replied in a cold tone.
“It’s none of your business.”
With some strength, Sophia closed the door directly. Without taking another look at Pierce, she started the car.
Sophia had no feelings for Pierce, but she wanted to know the truth. What was real?
Besides, Sophia wouldn’t let them live easily.
Sophia went back to the company. After a while of hesitation, she called. the director of the hospital.
Luke was in the hospital. It was easy to get his blood and hair.
But it was tough to get Pierce’s. Pierce got bodyguards around him and
had a personal doctor. Sophia had to figure out a way.
While Sophia was thinking, someone knocked on the door.
Before Sophia answered
It was George Cooper, a golden agent in the company with long hair.
George was very famous in the fashion business and had helped many big celebrities grow. So, he was certainly arrogant.
“Ms. Cruise, sorry to interrupt you.”
George came in, twisting his waist. He wore thick foundation makeup, long and thin lash lines, and pretty lipstick. His pants and floral shirt were eye–catching. His earrings were jingling.
Sophia was a little surprised. She looked up at George.
George said sorry to interrupt Sophia, but he didn’t look sorry at all. Instead, he didn’t even look at Sophia. George was impatient and impolite. His voice was sharp and effeminate.
Chapter 26
“This is the name list of the show that is coming. The TV station gave us four parts. Ms. Cruise, please sign it quickly. I need to take it to the
station.”
George threw the file on Sophia’s desk and sat in the chair opposite her. He said no more and obviously wanted Sophia to sign it quickly.
It seemed that George didn’t respect Sophia at all.
After a pause, Sophia opened the list with a smile.
She saw Emelia’s name. However, Monica’s name wasn’t on it. Monica. was the girl who posted the video online.
Sophia squinted her eyes and closed the list calmly.
“Why is Emelia’s name on the list? Why isn’t there Monica’s name?”
Sophia was very dissatisfied.
Chapter 26
Emelia almost ruined the whole showbiz. If Eagle Entertainment still gave her work, the company would be everyone’s target.
George played with his phone and took an impatient look at Sophia. He touched his big floral earring casually and spoke in a flat tone. George sounded anxious and seemed to be complaining.
“Monica recorded the party secretly. It’s a taboo in this business. Besides, she is just normal and doesn’t have a promising future.
“On the contrary, a lot of people pay attention to Emelia now. If she is on the show, the show’s ratings will skyrocket.”
Sophia withdrew her gaze coolly.
“I asked Monica to post the video. I don’t think she is just normal. Kick Emelia out, and let Monica in. Otherwise, I won’t sign my name.”
George banged his phone on the table impatiently and couldn’t contain his anger anymore. His effeminate voice became sharp and harsh. George banged the table heavily.
“Ms. Cruise, who do you think you are? You know nothing about showbiz and don’t give me stupid orders.”
Sophia raised a sneer.
“I’m in charge, so you must obey my orders.”
The look on George’s face instantly became ugly. George quickly twisted his waist and stood up. He held his waist with one hand and fanned himself with the other. It looked like Sophia made him furious. George said sarcastically with his unpleasant voice.
“The fact is Emelia has the president of the Clement Group at her back. We can’t afford to offend her.
Chapter 26
“You are in charge, but you aren’t Pierce’s wife. You are just t capitalists‘ puppet.”
