Chapter 138: Doing a Small Favor
Sophia understood the meaning behind the servant’s words and didn’t think much of it.
After all, this was Derick’s territory, and it would be impolite to invade his privacy.
She stood up, quite decisively:
“Alright, go back!”
The following few days.
Whether she was by the window upstairs or in the garden downstairs, she could see the pink Maserati
parked at the entrance, attempting to come in.
But never succeeded.
Derick’s medical team would come over every day to consult with her
once.
Adjusted the treatment plan and medication at any time.
Derick was very busy, but he would always take a few hours every day to talk with her.
She could feel her body gradually improving.
Sophia felt somewhat bored, but her phone had been lost long ago. She wanted to call her family, but
there was no landline in the room.
She went out, looked around, but didn’t see the phone anywhere.

The study was more private, so she didn’t feel right to go in casually.
Went downstairs to find the servant.
“Could I borrow your phone for a moment?”
The servant paused slightly, and quickly waved his hand;
“Madam, we were not allowed to use our phones while working.”
Sophia frowned slightly, “There’s no landline at home, how do we contact outsiders?”
The servant laughed uncomfortably:
“Madam, the telephone at home was previously removed because someone had installed a wiretap in it
to steal business secrets.”
“Don’t contact the outside for now. I heard that the gentleman recently encountered trouble in the
company. We can’t afford any mistakes!”
Sophia was silent for a few seconds, gave a smile, then turned around and went back to her room.
She stayed for a few days before realizing that she felt as if she was cut off from the world.
At night
Derick had returned, his aura was cold and hard, his gaze indifferent, and there was a hint of chill
between his brows and eyes.
It was completely different when I was in front of her.
As he turned to go to the study, Sophia suddenly came out of the room.
“Derick ……

Derick paused, the coldness in his eyes vanished in an instant, he turned around and looked at her
gently:
“Haven’t you gone to sleep yet?”
Sophia pursed her lips and walked over;
“I wanted to use the phone to call my mom.”
Derick was stunned for a few seconds before he gently looked up at her:
“Was it too boring? Tomorrow, I’ll have someone accompany you to go shopping?”
Sophia shook her head:
“I wanted to talk to my family, I hadn’t made a phone call since I woke up!”
Derick chuckled, gently draping a shawl from a nearby sofa over Sophia’s shoulders.
“Didn’t I already let them know you were safe? Why are you anxious again?”
Sophia furrowed her brows, her glossy, pitch–black eyes were stunning, accentuating her snow–white
skin.
“Derick, I just wanted to make a call to my parents.”
The corner of Derick’s lips twitched, he hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke:
“Sophia, it wasn’t possible then.”
“Why?”
Derick sighed, his expression somewhat complex:
Some complex voices emerged within the Woodward Group, and there. could be no contact with the
domestic during this period.
Sophia furrowed her brows and fell silent for a few seconds, somewhat shocked.
Derick looked at her, suddenly thinking of something:
“Sophia, why don’t you help me? Once this matter is dealt with, your health should be much better.
Then, I can send you back to your
country?”
“Could I help you?”
“Of course.”
Derick had her sit on the sofa on the small balcony next to them, and he sat opposite.
Simply described the current form of the Woodward Group.
It was Laurent Sullivan, a shareholder within the Woodward Group, who attempted to claim his stepson
Darion’s shares in the Woodward Group through inheritance law.
Sophia slightly furrowed her brows, “Darion? The eldest son of Kamden?”
Derick’s gaze was pitch black, he nodded.
“You should have heard about their relationship, right?”
My aunt, who is Darion’s mother, made him my cousin. He passed away, and I temporarily held his
shares on behalf of my aunt.
Chapter 133, Doong á Small Favor
However, his stepfather Laurent wanted to take away his shares and conspired with others in the
company to trip him up.
Sophia hesitated for a few seconds, “How can I help you?”
“Having obtained his forged will, Aunt Gina trusted Laurent very much. The will was also kept in their
home. If one could get that will, it could be proven.”
Sophia asked in confusion, “But without evidence, how can we prove that the will was forged?”
“Of course, he couldn’t possibly have left his shares to Laurent. Everyone knew their relationship was
practically like oil and water.”
Derick’s tone was somewhat harsh.
Seemed to have a deep resistance towards this Laurent.
Sophia speculated that it might be because the two brothers grew up together, there would naturally be
some empathy.
“Then… should I go?”
Derick glanced at her and smiled, saying:
“You approached Mrs. Gina, you could get the best from her.”
“But my younger aunt has a bit of a temper, I was afraid you might feel wronged.”
Sophia chuckled, “What’s this? It’s no big deal. I’m happy to help you.”
“So you had to adapt to the identity of Mrs. Woodward, and you absolutely couldn’t let her see that our
marriage was a sham!”
Derick spoke with a laugh.

Sophia paused for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
With a goal, she was naturally happy as she was one step closer to going home.
Moreover, being able to help Derick could also lessen the guilt she felt inside.
Killed two birds with one stone.
Derick reached out and touched her messy hair:
“Then go rest, I’ll take you to see her tomorrow.”
Sophia paused for a moment, stepped back with a smile, and dodged his hand.
“I hadn’t washed my hair for two days…”
Derick and she exchanged a glance, and the two of them couldn’t help but laugh!
The next day.
Sophia found a long skirt in the cloakroom and changed into it. There were many new clothes from big
brands here, all of which were transported from all over the world by the brand owners.
Not much different from her life with the Cruise family!
She noticed that the tag on the dress was still attached, and the size of the clothes fit her perfectly.
She didn’t believe it was a coincidence.
After all, she was now the nominal “mistress” of this manor.
Sophia went out after changing her clothes, while Derick had been
