Chapter 89
Sophia’s expression faltered slightly.
This was the second time she had seen the two of them appear together.
Last time at the hospital, Emelia lost her temper, Pamela was also there, although at the time Pamela acted like a bystander.
But they would know…
A thought flashed through Sophia’s mind, but she didn’t catch it in time.
Pamela was Nolan’s woman, and Emelia always had a good relationship with Nolan.
So, it was normal that Pamela and Emelia knew each other.
But Pamela’s identity was not revealed, how could Nolan possibly introduce her to his friends rashly?
She always felt that something seemed off.
Derick looked at her blankly, waving his hand:
“Sophia, what happened?”
Sophia withdrew her gaze and laughed:
“Nothing much, just saw someone I know.”
Derick: “Should we go say hello?”
“No need, not very familiar.”
Sophia laughed a bit, the two of them chatted about other things, and Derick got up to answer a phone call.
Sophia went to the bathroom.
On the way back, I happened to pass by the table of Emelia and Pamela.
Was just listening to their conversation.
Emelia’s tone was somewhat angry:
“Ten million? You really dare to dream, asking for the moon, aren’t you? Are you worth ten million, or is it your dad who’s worth ten million?”
Although Pamela appeared young and naive, her response was calm.
She took a sip of her coffee, her head bowed, before speaking with a hint of a cold smirk at the corner of her mouth:
The secret I knew was valuable!
My father became a vegetable in a car accident while working for you. Initially, you dismissed our entire family with half a million, and condescendingly said it was out of pity for us.
My mother passed away two years ago from exhaustion, as she had to pay for medical bills and my education.
“How could our family have fallen apart if it weren’t for you?”
Emelia’s face darkened with anger, she sneered coldly, glaring at her intently:

“Your dad messed things up even when he was handling things with money. It was already generous of me to offer five hundred thousand. Don’t push your luck.”
Your dad is now in a vegetative state, which is already quite good. If he woke up, he would have to go to jail!
Did you dare to reveal my matters?
“Did Nolan know you were the daughter of the person who killed him, after all those years you spent together?”
Pamela’s complexion had subtly changed, her eyes carrying a hint of gloom.
Emelia twirled her hair around her finger smugly, tilted her head to size her up, and began to speak with a smile:
“If he knew, he would hate you to death! And you still want to threaten me?”

“Pamela, you still need to stay grounded. Even if you want to take shortcuts, you should find value in a man. You’re always threatening me, and that’s not a good habit.”
She stood up, looking at the little girl she completely disregarded with a forced smile.
“I remember that after the car accident, your dad became a vegetative state because the treatment was delayed. Do you know why it was late?”
Emelia looked at her faintly, speaking word by word:
“It was Nolan who ordered not to make full efforts to save him, so your father was left unattended at the door of the emergency room all night.”
She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, admiring the sudden change of color on Pamela’s face. She shook her head, then swaggered away from there.

Pamela’s innocent features were completely rigid and cold, her whole body tense, as if she had suffered a heavy blow, lost and panicked.
Sophia stood in the corridor, watching Emelia leave and Pamela sit there motionless.
She herself was incredibly shocked.
A car accident, a vegetative state, and Nolan?
She felt momentarily unable to digest it all, as if she had unexpectedly learned a huge secret and didn’t know what to do.
Derick sent her a message, asking if she needed help.
She quickly replied, “No need, I’ll be back soon.”

She gathered her thoughts and had just stepped out when she saw Pamela, who had stood up and was planning to leave.
The moment the two people made eye contact, Pamela’s face changed.
She knew Sophia had heard everything just now.
Sophia wanted to walk past as if nothing had happened, but ended up being caught by the arm by Pamela. Her calm demeanor betrayed a hint of tension, her gaze flickering uncertainly.
“Ms. Cruise, what did you hear?”
Sophia was just about to speak when she saw Derick coming out from inside.
Watching the two people momentarily stunned, they then gently

turned their gáze towards Sophia:

“I was worried that you might have run into trouble, thankfully you’re okay.”
Sophia, with her elegant and subtle demeanor, naturally began to speak with a smile:
“I ran into someone I knew on the road and got delayed after chatting for a while.”
Derick glanced down at his watch, his movements calm and indifferent:
“Is it about time? Shall I take you home?”
-Sophia nodded.

Pamela, who was standing aside, wanted to say something, but Sophia didn’t give her the chance. She directly walked away with Derick, one in front of the other.
She was not interested in the secret between Pamela and Emelia, and naturally, she would not interact with them.
At a young age, Pamela had become Nolan’s canary and even had a child, indicating that this person’s character was actually not very good.
She still kept her distance!
Fortunately, on the way back, Derick didn’t ask much. They naturally joked around and discussed the project, and soon arrived at the bottom of the Eagle Entertainment building.
Derick opened the car door for her, Sophia got out of the car, waving him off.

But as soon as she entered the company, she saw Camille standing at the reception desk, looking at her with a mournful
gaze.
Sophia chuckled and walked over
“Camille, when did you come over? Did you need something from me?”
Camille, with a sullen expression, was clearly unhappy and spoke bluntly:
“Sister–in–law, why did you go out alone with Derick? Didn’t you know you should avoid suspicion?”
“Why did he open the car door for you? People might misunderstand if you keep coming and going together. Are you being fair to my brother?”
Sophia’s laughter subsided, she quietly watched her, her attitude

somewhat distant:

“I’ve said it many times, I divorced him a long time ago, I owe him nothing no matter who I’m with!”
Her initial impression of Camille was that of warmth and innocence, but now it seemed as if the innocence had gone too far, becoming somewhat inappropriate.
However, she didn’t need to coax and yield to the Miss of the Clement family. It would be nice to be friends, but it wouldn’t be a big deal if they couldn’t.
Camille’s face turned pale, her expression resembling the shame, anger, and pain of betrayal.
“Sister–in–law, how could you say such a thing? My brother was still deeply in love with you, yet you were with the man I had my eyes on. You truly disappointed me!”

The receptionist couldn’t help but speak up for Sophia:

“Mr. Woodward has been pursuing our Ms. Cruise ever since he returned to the country. They’ve known each other for a long time. It’s just that our Ms. Cruise didn’t agree. Why are you making it sound like our Ms. Cruise interfered with your relationship?”
Camille’s expression stiffened slightly, she bit her lower lip, on the verge of crying out in grievance. With tear–filled eyes, she looked at Sophia, waiting for her to come over and comfort her with kind words.
However, Sophia merely glanced at her indifferently, then gently turned her attention to the receptionist:
“I had another meeting, so I escorted Ms. Clement out.”
“Yes.”

Seeing her about to leave, Camille panicked and quickly chased after her, saying:
“Sister–in–law, could you promise me, don’t meet with Derick anymore in the future, I feel there’s something off about the way he looks at you, he can’t really like you, you’d better stay away from him…”
