Billionaire Lost 25
The man came in. His every movement was domineering and noble.
The man looked at Sophia with his deep eyes and then nodded slightly.
The others didn't notice the detail.
Sophia paused slightly and then immediately looked down to read the background information about that man.
The Woodward Group was pretty powerful abroad. Its background was mysterious. Derick Woodward, who just came to the throne of the Woodward Group, was tough and decisive. He made it through the fierce internal fight of the group and became the president.
The Cruise Group paid a lot of attention to their cooperation this time. Derick coming in person meant that the Woodward Group also took it seriously. The cooperation was imperative.
Sophia just listened silently. The depth and breadth of the project they talked about were astounding and exciting.
The meeting lasted an hour.
Kylan and Derick reached a tentative agreement. Their conversation was quite relaxing.

After the meeting, most people left. Kylan invited Derick to his office. Derick agreed gladly.
Kylan looked back at his sister and said to her.
"Sophia, come to join us."
Sophia didn't have the chance to say no even if she wanted to,
But she was really curious about Derick's face, so she nodded with a
smile.
Sophia followed them in. Kylan said directly.
"Mr. Woodward, this is my sister, Sophia."
"I know. You have told me, Ms. Cruise. I recognized your sister in the crowd immediately. She was the most eye-catching one."
Derick raised a smile and looked less cold. He could be both strict and playful. The next second, Derick suddenly approached Sophia.
Smelling a cool fragrance from Derick, Sophia subconsciously looked up.
Derick reached out. His eyes were deep.
"It's very nice to meet you, Ms. Cruise."

Sophia shook hands with Derick gently and then let go.
Somehow, she found Derick mysterious. Sophia couldn't tell whether he was dangerous or something else.
"Eagle Entertainment is the biggest entertainment company in the country. I have always wanted to invest in showbiz. I'd like to talk with you when there is time, Ms. Cruise. Is it okay?" Sophia thought for a second. She replied politely and decently with a
smile.
"Thank you. It will be our honor to cooperate with you.".
When Derick heard the answer, his eyes seemed to be smiling.
But it disappeared so soon.
Derick turned around and had a small talk with Kylan. Then, his assistant urged him to attend the meeting.
After Derick left, Kylan and Sophia were left in the office alone.
Sophia asked curiously.
"Kylan, did you notice that he looks like..."

Kylan knew that Sophia would ask about that. That was why he let her
stay.
"Derick's aunt is Pierce's father's first wife, Gina. It isn't strange that Derick and Pierce look alike."
Sophia was slightly shocked. Then, she understood and nodded.
Now it all made sense because Derick and Pierce were cousins.
"Gina and Pierce's father got divorced in an ugly way, so Derick and the Clement family basically don't cooperate.
"The project with our company isn't the only reason why Derick came to Zennland. He plans to make some big moves here. We are partners with him, but we also need to be cautious.: Kylan said it briefly. Sophia knew what he meant. She nodded.
After leaving the Cruise Group, Sophia planned to drive to Eagle Entertainment.
However, on the way, there was a car accident. And it was Derick sitting in the cool luxurious car.
After a few seconds of hesitation, Sophia came over to ask.
"Mr. Woodward, do you need any help?"

Hearing that, the driver in the front was very excited.
"Miss, Mr. Woodward's forehead got hurt. Can you take him to the hospital?"
Before the driver finished speaking, Derick got out of the car. He was in black, which made him super cool and noble. His eyes were calm and deep. There was a small bruise on his forehead. That was all.
Derick nodded slightly. He seemed to be polite and aloof, but that might
not be true.
"Thank you, Ms. Cruise."
Sophia nodded and led him to her car.
Sophia drove. Derick didn't sit in the back. Instead, he sat beside Sophia.
They were so close that Sophia could smell a cool and profound fragrance from Derick. Sophia felt a little uncomfortable.
There was a while of silence.
Derick turned his head to look at Sophia. With a small smile, he looked more casual and friendly.

"Ms. Cruise, somehow, I find you so friendly when I see you. This little accident let us meet. How about we cat together later? Dinner is on me."
Sophia slightly lifted an eyebrow and answered casually with a smile.
"Mr. Woodward, we are partners. I should help you. Don't mention it."
Derick knew it was a refusal. He thoughtfully didn't keep inviting Sophia.
They arrived at the hospital.
Sophia helped Derick find a doctor. It was quiet in the VIP area.
Sophia went out to call Kylan.
The moment she hung up, she heard someone in high heels approaching
hér.
Sophia turned around and saw Emelia. Emelia looked gorgeous, but her eyes were a little swollen.
She looked at Sophia, and her eyes turned red. Emelia was on the edge of losing her temper.
"What are you doing here? Because you let people curse me online, my son is sick now!
"Sophia, you are a bitch. If anything happens to Luke, Pierce won't let go

Emelia came forward excitedly, grabbed Sophia's clothes, and wouldn't let
1. go. "Go away."
Sophia frowned. With a serious and cold face, she pushed Emelia away.
Sophia felt disgusted when Emelia touched her.
But the next second, Emelia suddenly got on her knees and wailed.
"Pierce lease let go of me, Sophia. Can you make a clarification on the Internet and tell people they are wrong? I'm sorry. But my son is innocent..." Emelia's attitude changed instantly. Sophia immediately knew why.
She heard footsteps from behind. Sophia turned around and saw Pierce and Devan. Pierce looked unhappy, and Devan opened his eyes wide. When Emelia wanted to grab Sophia's clothes and take her next move, Sophia suddenly bent, grabbed Emelia's hair and pulled her head back. Emelia felt a great pain in her scalp. Her fake crying became miserable screaming.

Emelia tilted her head back. There was fear in her eyes. Emelia looked at Pierce, hoping that he could save her.
But Sophia didn't let go of Emelia's hair. She directly bumped Emelia's head onto the wall aside.
With a heavy thud, Emelia suddenly stopped screaming and shivered.
It all happened in three seconds.
Sophia finally let go of Emelia's hair. She patted her hands, feeling sick. With ice in her eyes, Sophia raised a dangerous smile.
"Did you think that I would let you finish your play? Emelia, be smart so that maybe you can live longer."
Emelia played little tricks, trying to let Pierce feel sorry for her.
She should be truly miserable.
Sophia didn't mind helping her.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Emelia finally recovered from the great pain. She sat on the ground in a mess, looked at Pierce in a pathetic way, and complained.
"I was just begging Sophia to forgive me. I am really sorry..."
Pierce was indifferent. There were no emotions in his eyes.
