Chapter 166 161: Leaving This Place
Perhaps Derick would never come back to face her insincerity again.
Or perhaps, the secret that Laurent suddenly revealed indeed brought him trouble that needed to be dealt with.
Sophia sat on the balcony until late at night.
Everything was exposed, she no longer had any cards left in he hand.
Such a situation made her feel insecure.
Day after day.
In the blink of an eye, two days had passed.
She didn’t know anything about the situation outside.
Those servants wouldn’t talk to her about anything except for meals.
Derick had never appeared again

She couldn’t swallow it.
The third day.

Gina came.
She looked at the slimmed–down Sophia and sighed in her heart.
Sophia didn’t know if she knew Derick’s true identity.
Did not even mention it.
Derick was also quite pitiful, wasn’t he?
Gina touched her sharp chin and pursed her lips:
“There was a person, who asked me to come see you, Sophia, did you really not want to stay?”
Sophia’s face was pale as she shook her head.
Gina wasn’t surprised by the answer, she just smiled and brushed her hair back for her.
She took out a square the size of a fingernail from her bag, which contained something inside.

“This was a drug that could cause sudden acute heart disorders. Only when you were sick would he take you to the hospital, and there would be a car to pick you up.”
To leave here, one had to first leave this estate.
Sophia stared blankly, took it, and looked up at her.
Gina didn’t say anything, she just patted her shoulder, gave a gentle smile, and then got up to leave.
Was it Derick who asked Gina to come?
Who was it that asked Gina to help her?
Sophia was puzzled.
Looking at the medicine in her hand, she was hesitating.
The next day.
After finishing her breakfast, she still took the pill when the servant wasn’t paying attention.
She didn’t go upstairs immediately, but sat in the living room watching movies.

Several minutes later.
The medicine had taken effect.

A faint yet piercing pain radiated from her chest, draining all the strength from her body.
Her face turned pale in an instant, and when she fell to the ground clutching her chest, the servants hurriedly rushed over.
The effect of that medicine was potent, her heart was beating rapidly, each beat accompanied by a slight sting.
Even if it was slight, ordinary people could not adapt and accept.
She curled up on the ground, twitching slightly.
The eardrum was buzzing so loudly that I couldn’t hear what the people around me were saying.
But she could see that the butler, with a grim expression, had gone to make a phone call.
Very quickly.
She was lifted up and brought to the black Lincoln car.

Her eyes were moist, not knowing if it was from pain, or something else.
The servant was comforting her on the side, but the pain was unbearable.
The car was speeding.
There were few cars on this road.
Suddenly.
For some unknown reason, the car suddenly became unstable, as if someone had violently turned the steering wheel and stepped on the brakes.
The next second.
The car was forcibly pulled away, and someone directly snatched Sophia.
That person had carried Sophia directly into the car on the other side of the green belt.
The vehicle couldn’t drive directly over there.
The servant screamed loudly, calling for help on the phone while getting out of the car to chase.

And the driver and bodyguard also abandoned the black Lincoln, catching up from behind.
The license plate of this black Lincoln was a personalized one.
A seemingly inconspicuous luxury car from behind, however, recklessly crashed straight into it.
The person inside was a seemingly insane Laurent.
He naturally recognized Derick’s car.
He was expelled from the Woodward Group, years of operation ruined in an instant.
The evidence is now irrefutable, but it’s too little too late.
Darion, the stepson, had always harbored hostility and disgust towards him.
Because in Darion’s childhood, he had personally heard himself instigate Gina to send Darion to the Clement family, and have another child of their own.
Since then, Darion had hated him to the bone.
Darion, in alliance with the real Derick, oppressed him

everywhere.
Until Laurent personally designed that car accident.
Originally, it should have been Darion who died.
But, he is now dead, it’s not considered late.
Laurent’s eyes reddened, he gritted his teeth, and charged towards the black Lincoln.
In an instant.
With a “bang“.
A blaze suddenly erupted, with thick smoke billowing.
An unusual explosion sound lit up half of the sky.
The car carrying Sophia quickly merged into the traffic and disappeared from sight.
In shock, Derick’s bodyguard and servant felt fortunate to have escaped with their lives. Without much thought, they
immediately called Derick.
The phone, however, was in a call

Gina stood on a nearby high–rise, watching the car accident scene below, her eyes filled with a touch of sadness and bitterness.
She held the phone, her back straight, her voice calm:
“You let her go, I’ve personally taken care of Laurent for you. He’s dead, no one will question you again.”
The call was hung up.
Tears fell one by one.
Over the years, she had been well protected by Darion, oblivious to the world outside, living a life of leisure and abundance.
How could she have dirtied his hands now?
She knew everything, the truth that Derick had personally admitted in the office, about her presence in the company.
Knew the truth about “Darion’s” death, and also knew about Laurent’s cruelty.
All of this, should not have happened.

Derick stood on the balcony of a high–rise, overlooking the entire foggy city from a high vantage point.
His body was tense, his demeanor shedding its gentle facade, his eyes cold and stern.
The phone in my hand kept vibrating.
For a long time.
He had just picked it up.
Hearing the bodyguard urgently recounting the events surrounding Sophia’s disappearance, Derick felt as if a huge stone was lodged in his heart, weighing heavily on his chest.
My throat felt as if it was being strangled, unable to make a sound.
Couldn’t express any emotion.
Just felt uncomfortable, empty, and even somewhat helpless.
Originally, he didn’t want Laurent to die so easily.
He also didn’t want to let Sophia go like this.

But he also didn’t know, what would be the result of continuing to confine Sophia?
He had a premonition that the outcome wouldn’t be too good.
Gina made the decision for him.
Like this, it’s also good.
Hung up the phone.
Assistant Hayden knocked on the door and came in:
“Mr. Woodward, the news has been suppressed, and the inspection report has been resent to all shareholders.”
This meant that Derick’s position in the Woodward Group was truly unshakeable.
Derick seemed not to care about these at all, it was just as if a piece was missing from his heart.
His voice was deep and slightly cold:
“How was the action of the Clement Group?”

Lydia, but Lydia adamantly disagreed.
I thought, perhaps Lydia and Eagle Entertainment had some private involvement?
“Mr. Woodward, in that case, our involvement wouldn’t be so easy,” we feared.
Pierce paved the way, and Derick reaped the benefits.
As a result, it was somewhat unexpected.
A shadow crossed Derick’s eyes, his dark pupils pondering:
“Went to Zennland.”
Hayden jerked his head up.
Derick stood up, straightening his sleeves:
“Go find Sophia, apologize to her
Letting go completely was something he couldn’t do.
Bowing and yielding to others, even more impossible.
Let’s take a step back first, retreat to a suitable position, then talk about other things.
