Chapter 150 145: He Was Lying to You
Virginia held her phone, staring at something unknown, covering her mouth as she cried.
There was no image to speak of.
Her position was conveniently blocked by a row of bookshelves, so people outside couldn’t see Virginia sitting there.
From the view from behind, the cafe was empty.
Sophia’s eyes flickered slightly, then she turned to the driver, took out Derick’s secondary card, handed it over, and said gently:
“For safety’s sake, let’s book this place before we leave, and don’t let anyone else in.”
“I wanted to enjoy my coffee in peace. Order me a black coffee with milk, then wait for me outside.”
The driver took it and nodded.
He also didn’t want to give Sophia and the waiter a chance talk.

The person left.
Sophia had taken a seat across from Virginia.
Virginia jerked her head up, saw Sophia, and immediately held back her tears.
She wiped the tear stains from her face, took a deep breath, gathered her scattered thoughts, stepped back, and crossed her
arms.

“How did you come?”
Her attitude was not very polite, but Virginia was not polite to
anyone.
Sophia was inclined towards Derick in her heart, naturally believing in this man who had risked his life for her.
“Ms. Sullivan, I wanted to ask you for a favor.”
Virginia frowned, outright refusing:
“Didn’t help.”
knew you were doubting Derick, but if he was fake, wouldn’t Miss Gina have noticed?”

She couldn’t afford to upset Virginia now, or else all hope would be lost.
Virginia’s brow furrowed slightly, her tone displeased:
“What do you know? I grew up with him since we were kids, I know him best.”
“You were in the same boat with him, as a beneficiary, naturally hoping he was Derick!”
Her mind was working incredibly fast, but her temper hadn’t changed at all.
“You didn’t go to him for help, but came to me instead, it must not be anything good, I absolutely won’t…”
Sophia curved her lips into a smile, gently laughed, and interrupted her words:
“Ms. Sullivan, you’re overthinking it, I just wanted to borrow your phone to make a call.”
Virginia was slightly taken aback, the rest of her words choked back:

“I left the house without my phone.”
Sophia spread her hands in a gesture of helplessness:
“I could hit you in your presence.”
Virginia frowned, seemingly annoyed by Sophia’s thoughtless behavior.
Going out without a mobile phone, what’s the difference from not wearing clothes?
She disdainfully glanced at Sophia.
“Didn’t lend!”
Sophia knew that her resistance was strong.
She lowered her head in loss.
The waiter not far away was carefully making coffee, the rich aroma wafting over, but it didn’t raise any expectations in her.
Paused for a few seconds.

Suddenly, Virginia thought of something and said to her,
“Unless you did me a favor.”
Sophia’s eyes lit up, her delicate features expressing a look of joy:
“You said.”
Virginia placed her phone on the table.
Sophia saw the photo on her phone screen.
That was a group photo.
A joint photo of Virginia and Derick.
In the photo, Derick, dressed in a black windbreaker, was cheerfully embracing Virginia, who was also smiling proudly and brightly in his arms.
The aura of the two people matched exceptionally well.
They stood on the peak of the mountain, with the newly risen sun behind them, its orange light gently casting a soft glow on them.

That kind of feeling, was the tacit understanding and sweetness that only couples in passionate love would have.
Sophia’s heart sank slightly.
Her eyes trembled.
That kind of Derick, gentle and cheerful, with clear eyes. Although his aura was still strong and cold, it all converged in front of the one he loved.
The Derick she knew seemed like a different person.
Sophia knew Derick, who always looked at her with a warm and gentle demeanor, but his eyes hid emotions she could not decipher.
Why did the two people who looked exactly alike have completely opposite auras?
Sophia’s heart involuntarily tightened.
Derick had personally stated that he had no past with Virginia, even the disgust and disdain in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
However, this photo inevitably made her have doubts.
Virginia saw her expression, pursed her lips, her demeanor

carrying a hint of haughtiness:
“See, the real Derick, he liked me.
Sophia blankly raised her head.

Virginia, however, had tears in her eyes.
“You helped me find the real Derick, that was my only request.”
Sophia had not yet emerged from her emotions, her delicate brows and eyes somewhat taken aback.
The real Derick…
There was some panic in the depths of her heart.
At that moment, there was suddenly a noise at the door.
The driver pushed the door and entered.
A tremor ran through Sophia’s heart as she suddenly grabbed

her phone and dialed a string of numbers.
Under Virginia’s shocked gaze, it was thrust into her hand.
“I promised you, you helped me make this call, told my uncle that I wasn’t dead, please, Ms. Sullivan.”
After Sophia finished speaking, she stood up and walked out as if nothing had happened.
She couldn’t let the driver see Virginia.
Virginia watched her leave with surprise and confusion.
As she passed by the front desk, she stood there, tapping on the desk.
“Pack up.”
The driver had just walked past:
“Madam, the gentleman has arranged a brand show for you nearby, they are already waiting for you.”
Sophia raised an eyebrow and gave a smile, saying:
“Sure, I was just thinking about watching a show.”
In fact, it was nothing more than major brands clearing the field, allowing models to showcase different outfits on a fixed stage back and forth.
If there was something you liked, you could just take it away.
This was much simpler and more convenient than selecting and trying on each piece by myself.
Derick had always been very generous to her.
Sophia was also happy about his dedication to her.
It was only after seeing that photo that she couldn’t help but harbor some doubts in her mind. Was this meticulous and thoughtful arrangement made to keep track of her whereabouts throughout?
But, what was the benefit for him?
How could she have doubted his sincerity?
Sophia left the coffee shop with a smile on her face, yet with mixed feelings.
Upon arriving at the mall, it was discovered that the entire floor had already been cleared.

The staff of the luxury brand stores had lined up on both sides to welcome Sophia.
“Welcome Mrs. Woodward…….”
Their effusive smiles left Sophia somewhat overwhelmed.
Compared to the domestic style, it was simply beyond comparison.
She still preferred the method of direct home delivery.
Low–key, introverted, not ostentatious.
She smiled and went straight to the arranged position.
The shop assistant had prepared champagne, various expensive fruits and desserts on the side.
Even though they had a million ways of treating their clients, when it came to those instructed by Derick, they only knew caution and flattery.
They wished they could have worshipped Sophia like a deity!
The internal booth had been specially designed, spacious and beautiful, with a good line of sight.

The models on the stage were walking back and forth, wearing the latest styles from major brands, looking stunningly beautiful and natural from every angle.
Sophia sat alone under the misty white light, her expression gentle and serene, exuding a sense of peaceful passage of time.
Behind her stood the driver and a crowd of people.
But upon closer inspection, her gaze didn’t seem quite às fervent.
There was some emptiness.
” Was she worrying, would Virginia make that call?
Suddenly.
A faint, cool scent of mint wafted from behind, causing Sophia to whip her head around abruptly.
Derick didn’t know how long he had been standing there…

Seeing Sophia’s astonished expression, Derick laughed, his handsome features softening slightly.
“Did you like it?”
He was referring to the event he had arranged.
Sophia realized and raised her eyebrows:
“Make do!”
Upon hearing this, the clerk next to me turned pale.
Derick, on the other hand, wasn’t unhappy at all.
Sophia’s background determined that she wouldn’t be amazed or surprised by such occasions, she was probably already used to it.
He just found a game she was used to playing.
He gave a leisurely smile, suddenly reached out, and took he hand:

“Alright, I’ll take you to a happier place.*
Sophia was surprised
Derick’s large hand was gentle and slender, not exerting too much force, just naturally holding hers, without letting go.
The driver didn’t catch up.
Sophia naturally felt better when she was, away from others‘ surveillance.
They left the mall, leisurely strolling westward.
This place, Wall Street, always had an air of time being money.
The air was somewhat gloomy, cool.
The bustling street was filled with cars, pedestrians hurried by with a sense of urgency, while some, exhausted, sat by the roadside.
They had reached near a park.
There was a huge oval–shaped fountain in the center of the park.

Sophia sat on a chair near the fountain.
Derick let go, “Wait for me.”
He returned in less than a minute after he left.
Then he handed the bread in his hand to Sophia.
Sophia frowned as she looked, honestly saying:
“I wasn’t hungry.”
Derick pursed his lips, unable to suppress a laugh.
“It wasn’t for you to eat, close your eyes.”
Sophia slightly furrowed her brows, hesitantly closing her eyes.
He tore the bread into small pieces, then gently lifted her palm and poured the bread into it.
In that instant, Sophia seemed to understand what he was going to do.
The next second.
