Chapter 114: Revenge Came Swiftly

The atmosphere at night always carried a hint of enchantment, ́especially when it was just the two of

us.

However, this atmosphere was suddenly interrupted by someone.

Someone upstairs, unknown who, had thrown a bucket of water down.

Derick quickly ran over and protectively held Sophia in his arms.

The water had completely drenched Derick, while Sophia only got a bit of water on her arm.

Quickly, he let go, looking at her with a serious expression in his eyes and brows:

“Are you okay?”

Sophia shook her head, immediately stood up, looked up, and the upstairs was already empty.

Didn’t know who did it.

She looked at the drenched Derick, “Why don’t you go get a room to clean up? I’ll contact your

assistant to bring you a change of clothes?”

Derick nodded, saying with a smile:

“It could be considered that I played the hero saving the beauty.”

That bucket of water just now, was intended for Sophia.

Sophia smiled, “I’ll check the surveillance.”

Derick nodded, and the two people went in.

The organizer’s face changed instantly as he looked at Derick’s appearance.

“Mr. Woodward……”

“No problem, let Ms. Cruise check the surveillance to see who was so careless?”

Derick’s expression was hidden in the dim light, revealing no emotion.

“Alright, alright.”

Derick went to the room, Sophia made a call to Derick’s assistant, and then went straight to check the

surveillance.

Less than half an hour.

Derick came out after taking a bath and changing his clothes.

The corridor was paved with black ceramic tiles, which made it look particularly cold and solemn. The

lights above were blazing white, dazzlingly white.

Sophia, in her black dress, leaned against the wall. Her expression was unreadable, but the light gently

enveloped her, adding a touch of indifference and melancholy to her cool skin.

She wore an obsidian anklet on her foot clad in high heels, which looked very sexy against her fair skin.

He walked over, stopped, and looked down at her.

“Did you see who it was?”

Sophia leaned against the wall, her delicate collarbone exposed, but

her brows and eyes were faint, as if devoid of emotion:

“Forget it, they probably didn’t know, it might not have been intentional.”

Derick squinted his eyes.

She lifted her foot, turned around, and walked out.

Derick watched her retreating figure for a few seconds, before finally following her.

Sophia got in the car, while Derick was still behind, making small talk with the organizer.

In the end, the organizer nodded reluctantly. Suddenly, Sophia realized that power was something that

transcended national boundaries.

Even if Derick had no foundation here, he was still able to call the shots.

Finally, Derick got in the car, but the driver didn’t rush to drive away.

The car had stopped at a barbecue stand not far away.

Derick got out of the car, tugged at his collar, with a touch of distraction:

‘Seeing you didn’t eat much, would you like to eat a bit more?”

Sophia looked at the barbecue stand: “Eat this?”

Derick laughed, “This is the first delicacy I’ve found since I’ve been here for so long!”

Sophia, infected, got out of the car with a smile.

“I didn’t eat late–night snacks in the evening, but I could stay with you until you finished eating before

leaving.”

After all, he had previously blocked a basin of water for her.

Perhaps it was too late.

There weren’t many people left at the barbecue stand. Seeing them sit down, the boss picked up the

menu again and brought it over.

Sophia had her back to him, from where she could just see the direction of the hotel.

Derick, who had quite an appetite, ordered a few side dishes and vegetarian barbecue.

The boss went off to get busy.

Sophia watched him with interest as he savored the appetizers leisurely, as if he were tasting a fine

Western meal.

The contrast was really too great.

The two people had been talking for a while when suddenly Sophia noticed people coming out of the

hotel entrance one after another.

Almost everyone had left.

Ava and Camille were only sent out at the very end.

The driver opened the car door and waited.

The moment when the organizer waved goodbye.

Before Camille could get in the car, icy water suddenly poured down from above her head, causing her

to scream and jump up.

Ava was also implicated in quite a few things.

The mother and daughter were as embarrassed as could be.

Camille stood there, still shaken, her face pale as a sheet. Her eyes darted around and spotted two

people at the corner of the street, talking and laughing.

In an instant, her body began to tremble slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of fear.

Ava, on the other hand, began to scold in anger:

“What was going on, what the hell was that?”

The organizer repeatedly apologized and said that he also didn’t know what was going on.

Soon, the person in charge ran out from inside, following with an apology: Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“Mrs. Clement, Ms. Clement, I’m truly sorry. The water pipe upstairs burst and the window was left

open, causing water to splash outside. We will compensate for all the damage caused to you. I’m really

sorry!”

Ava was so furious that even cursing a few times didn’t make her feel better.

The organizer allowed her to go in to clean up and change clothes, but she was too lazy to go in. In the

end, she crawled into the car, calling out to the dazed Camille outside:

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and get in the car to go home. Such bad luck!”

Her gown was still a high–end, in–season piece from a major brand, and it couldn’t be worn again once

it got wet.

Camille swayed slightly, retracting her gaze from the street corner. She

climbed into the car with a pale face, her body tense.

Did he find out?

Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that retribution came so quickly?

An hour ago, that bucket of water was poured by her when she sneaked up to the upstairs balcony

when no one was around and everyone was not paying attention.

She couldn’t forget how deeply and memorably Derick looked at Sophia!

She couldn’t forget how gently Derick had asked her if she wanted to go with him to Mautiland!

Sophia came from humble beginnings, but she had everything.

Annie was right, if it hadn’t been for her bone marrow donation back then, would she have had these

good days today?

Sophia was stepping on herself to climb up, how could she have the nerve to compete with her for a

man?

But she didn’t dare to yell in front of them anymore, she couldn’t forget the icy look in Derick’s eyes,

she couldn’t bear it.

But she wanted to teach Sophia a lesson.

Made her a drowned rat, then kicked her out of the place that didn’t belong to her!

She impulsively did it just like that.

But unexpectedly, Derick actually stood up for her!

The anxious expression on Camille’s face struck Ava as strange.

“What was wrong with you?”

Camille paused, shaking her head:

“Nothing?”

Ava snorted coldly, “Damn organizers, they must compensate us for our dresses and emotional

distress!”

Camille remained silent on the side, not daring to speak.

The barbecue stand at the street corner.

Sophia looked shocked at the scene that had just unfolded, then shifted her gaze to Derick, her heart

suddenly racing.

For a long time.

She had just opened her mouth, “You already knew?”

Derick’s eyes were heavy, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth, he said in a meaningful way:

“Did you let her go because of Mr. Clement?”

Sophia lowered her gaze, shaking her head with a smile:

“Camille had been treating her illness abroad for too long, she was actually very innocent. I didn’t want

to have too much contact with her, but I also knew that she was instigated by others.”

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wanted to get close to herself at first, but now she seemed to harbor

some resentment towards her.

The little girl was always fickle–minded.

“So you just wanted to let her go? Sophia, you always go soft when you shouldn’t.”

Derick’s voice was indifferent.
