Derick's jawline was smooth and clear, his eyes even more profound.

The collar of his shirt was slightly open, somewhat disheveled.

The gazes of two people met, and for a moment, they were connected like threads of a lotus root.

They seemed to have sensed each other's cautious probing intentions.

Dark light filled Derick's pitch-black eyes.

Sophia's delicate eyes were soft and hazy, without a trace of guard.

In the aftermath of her fear, she saw a lot of touching and warmth, and she yearned for this warmth and favoritism.

That was what she had given everything for but never received.

She got it from Derick.

His dark, profound eyes were looking at her, wanting to do

something.

But emotionally, he had always been vulnerable.

The next second.

She suddenly leaned in, gently planting a kiss on his face.

Moist and soft.

Like the fleeting moment of a dragonfly touching the water.

She pursed her lips and laughed.

He favored her, and she gave him courage.

That was great.

Derick paused slightly, his eyes growing even darker.

At this moment.

The car window was suddenly knocked on by someone.

The enchanting moment of their first encounter dissipated between the two.

Derick lowered the car window with a serious expression.

The person outside replied respectfully:

"Mr. Woodward, everything has been sorted out, and Mr. Sullivan has also been invited..."

They said "please", but it was just out of politeness.

Laurent was tightly bound, even wearing a black hood over his head.

After he was kidnapped, the car made several turns and finally stopped in the underground parking lot of the Woodward Group. Derick was just sitting in the car, exuding a strong yet nonchalant aura, with no intention of getting out.

Laurent was dragged to the front, crying out in pain, after which the bodyguard removed his hood.

Laurent was adjusting to the surrounding light. The moment he saw Derick clearly, his face changed instantly, extremely furious.

"It was you, Derick, you actually dared to have someone kidnap me, what were you trying to do?"

He was considered a high-ranking member of the upper class in

his daily life.

Various figures from the business and political circles of Mautiland had to give him some respect.

Not to mention Derick, who could only be considered as his nephew's generation.

Although the Woodward Group belonged to Derick, Laurent had spent a considerable amount of time in the Woodward Group.

He gradually cut off Derick's side branches and married Gina.

Again, Derick was promoted to this position.

However, Derick's influence grew far beyond his imagination.

He could feel himself being gradually marginalized within the entire company.

So he was somewhat impatient.

At the shareholders' meeting this morning.

When he wanted to claim Darion's inheritance, he couldn't find the will he had prepared in advance.

He could only have the lawyer recreate another copy.

But when he presented the will at the shareholders' meeting, Derick surprisingly produced an identical will.

Laurent was publicly exposed for forging a will.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Derick actually forced him to step back from the front line, which meant he had to retire and go home.

In a state of furious frustration.

He had someone teach Derick a lesson.

But as soon as he left the group, he was kidnapped...

Derick was also scheming against him, which he hadn't expected.

Inside the car.

Derick gave him a cold, dark glance, rubbed his fingertips, his eyes deep and cold:

"Whatever Mr. Sullivan wanted to do to my person, I wanted to

do to Mr. Sullivan!"

Laurent's brow twitched fiercely:

"Don't slander me, I didn't hire anyone to kill you!"

As soon as the words were spoken.

Laurent's face slightly changed.

Derick swept him with an extremely cold gaze, yet chuckled lightly:

"Since Mr. Sullivan admitted it himself, I don't need to say more. Let's proceed according to the rules."

Laurent's face turned pale instantly, and he immediately struggled to stand up from the ground:

"Derick, I am your elder, you can't treat me like this. I just want to retrieve my son's shares, what did I do wrong?" Originally, Derick was relatively calm.

But upon hearing his words, a sudden intense chill surged in her eyes:

"Your son's shares? Since when was Darion your son?"

"As everyone knew, I had been married to his mother, Gina, for nearly ten years. Wasn't his son also my son?"

Laurent was furious and impatient, hastily revealing his own amulet.

"Would your aunt forgive you if she knew you treated me like this?"

Derick's face was extremely cold and hard, the chill in his eyes undisguised:

"Fine, if you insist on making a scene in front of my aunt, I don't mind discussing with her about what really happened in Darion's car accident."

Laurent's face suddenly darkened, looking at Derick in shock, his lips seemed to be trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Derick looked as if he knew everything.

But his usual behavior clearly showed that he didn't know anything!

Derick looked at his trembling figure, his eyes cold and desolate.

He had endured for a long time, even taking the opportunity to hide in Zennland after that car accident, just to see who was the person behind the scenes. Laurent, he couldn't wait to show his fox tail.

Derick slowly rolled up the car window, without uttering another word.

He was graceful and calm, never in a rush or impatient.

There were no flaws at all.

The bodyguard had apprehended the person and was about to leave when Laurent jumped up excitedly and shouted:

"Stop lying to me, Derick, I'm not afraid. If you have evidence, show it. I'm not afraid of anything..."

"Ah-"

The man let out a scream, which continued incessantly.

The car didn't go far.

Derick naturally heard his ranting

A cold chill filled his eyes, yet a disdainful sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Sometimes, evidence was not necessarily required.

He was just confirming, what did it matter whether he admitted it or not?

Anyway, he would seek revenge.

He pinched the bridge of his nose, seemingly a bit tired, and closed his eyes.

The inside of the car was very quiet.

Sophia didn't say a word from beginning to end.

Derick suddenly remembered her and opened his eyes to look at her.

Sophia, on the other hand, was not terrified to death, nor was she shaking with hatred. She was quietly lowering her eyes, seemingly pondering something

A pang hit Derick's chest, dispelling the chill on his body. His dark brows and eyes stared at her, his eyebrows sharp and handsome, his voice resonant:

"Did I scare you?"

His gaze was dark and intense, falling on her, his heart slightly throbbing.

He hadn't forgotten that kiss just now.

Sophia shook her head, in the past she used to link her arm through his and lean on his shoulder:

"Was it really him? Did you know in advance?"

Derick was pleasantly surprised by her spontaneous affection, and his displeasure vanished in an instant.

"Knowing he would take action, I had already arranged for people to watch over you."

Sophia was taken aback, she couldn't help but lift her head to look at him:

"He was after me? No wonder you suddenly came to accompany me."

An answer gradually formed in her heart, this answer made her feel somewhat guilty.

After all, it was she who insisted on coming out, and she chose

that coffee shop, and there was Virginia.

What he had arranged for her was already thoughtful enough.

Derick had a gentle and noble demeanor.

"I couldn't just leave you out there alone. Even the most loyal bodyguard wouldn't take a bullet for you, but I could."
