Sophia took out her phone, only to find that the signal had been blocked.
It was simply unusable.
Sophia looked at her in shock as Virginia took out her phone again and placed it in front of Sophia.
"I had just discovered in the car, any cell phone signal here was blocked because Derick had installed something in the mansion."
"Unless a special phone was used, communication was not possible..."

Sophia's face was somewhat stiff.
Even the palms of my hands were starting to sweat.
She seemed uncomfortable at heart.
"Why..."
Sophia looked pale, murmuring as she spoke.

She didn't have a cell phone, nor did she take the initiative to contact the outside world, but why did he have to be so guarded against her? Virginia sneered, letting out a cold scoff:
I had already said, this man was nothing but a liar, and a scoundrel at that.
Did you know that the dark corners around were filled with bodyguards' informants?
"Did you know he was holding you captive with tenderness?"
Virginia looked at her delicate face and stood up in anger.
Looking down at her from a high position, gritting his teeth, he felt indignant on her behalf:
"You were such a love-struck fool, did you know he was two-faced?"
Sophia subconsciously looked up at her, her small face soft, frail and pale, her delicate eyebrows and eyes still somewhat bewildered.
A wave of unease suddenly surged in her heart.

The favor that seemed just within reach was about to disappear.
Virginia, hands on her hips, spoke up directly:
"I had already called your uncle, your family thought you were
dead, your parents were still in the hospital, and your news was kept secret from everyone."
"Didn't you ever wonder why he did that?"
Sophia stood up in shock, her face pale, her mood suddenly uneasy:
"Are my mom and dad okay?"
Her leg accidentally hit the table, it was very painful, but she didn't have time to care.
Virginia pursed her lips, "Not sure, your uncle was in Zennland, he said he was going to fly over to see you as soon as he got the call..." Sophia's thoughts were instantly in a mess.
Virginia was able to accurately name her relatives, indicating that she was not lying.
For a moment, she felt as if the time that had passed was very

surreal.

Why did he want to do this?
He could clearly risk his life for her, could it be false?
Sophia's complexion was not good, and she was even more anxious for Brycen and Cecilia.
On the first day she woke up, he said he had already sent a message of her safety on her behalf.
But there wasn't, there simply wasn't.
They thought she was dead.
How did they get through all these days?
Sophia couldn't even imagine how devastated Brycen and Cecilia would have been when they found out about her accident!
Tears unknowingly fell from Sophia's eyes, she felt as if her chest had been pricked by countless needles, the pain making it hard for her to breathe.
She missed her family too much.

Desperately wanted!
Seeing her in this state, Virginia's voice suddenly became softer:
"You...you're okay, right?"
"You were deceived too, I initially thought you were after money, but it turns out your uncle is Edmund!"
Sophia suddenly reached out, gripping her wrist, desperately suppressing her own emotions:
"You helped me, told my uncle that I needed to go home immediately."
In her heart, family ultimately mattered more than anything else,
She was grateful to Derick, even willing to learn to like him, to accept him.
However, the prerequisite was that they must be free and equal.
She couldn't accept his deception.
Virginia paused, "Okay, but you have to help me, help me find the real Derick."

Sophia was slightly startled as Virginia firmly gripped her wrist, her eyes resolute and defiant:
"You didn't need to doubt, he was definitely a fake, but whether
the real Derick was dead or alive, I had to find him."
Sophia didn't stay silent for too long, she nodded.
"Alright, but I didn't know where to start?"
"His phone, his computer, his study, and his safe, any place of privacy, could all possibly have clues."
Virginia was staring intently at Sophia.
"I helped you, you should help me too, Sophia, let's cooperate once."
"Good."
Sophia agreed.
She no longer fully trusted Derick
The servant came up carrying coffee, looking at Sophia with red eyes, wiping her tears, his face slightly changing.

She nonchalantly put down the coffee and then went to tip off Derick.

Virginia immediately picked up the champagne-colored one, deliberately saying loudly:
"You didn't deserve this gift, I'd better take it back!"
Virginia winked at Sophia, then strode down the stairs and left.
Listening to the sound of the Maserati leaving, Sophia's emotions were like a roller coaster, she simply couldn't calm down.
She sat there, belatedly noticing that the leg she had just bumped against the edge of the table was turning a bit red. She rubbed it, it hurt a lot, and tears immediately came out. How had her family been getting by during that period of time?
The servant informed Derick, and Derick returned very quickly.
His complexion seemed a bit haggard, as if he hadn't rested well the night before.
As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Sophia sitting blankly on the sofa, staring at the coffee on the table that had already

Her silhouette was as warm and gentle as water, even when she was silent, she was extremely beautiful.
It was just her reddened eyes that still made one's heart sink.
Derick loosened his collar and walked over:
"Did Virginia come? What did she say that made you angry?"
"No matter what she comes to do in the future, don't open the door for her, okay?"
He reached out to touch her shoulder in the past, but she suddenly dodged.
That hand was stiff in mid-air.
Sophia, with a cold expression, directly reached out her hand:
"She didn't say anything, just that I needed to call my family." Derick's eyes deepened slightly, his expression still gentle: "Sophia, it wasn't very convenient at the moment."

"Laurent was right in your hands, what were you afraid of?"
Sophia stood there, stubborn and aloof, refusing to back down.
She insisted on getting her phone today.
Derick gave a faint smile, as if trying to gloss over the moment:
"He was in my hands, but his power had not been completely cut off yet...'
Sophia gritted her teeth, she couldn't bear it any longer, she abruptly pushed him, somewhat angry, her eyes red as she glared at him:
"Derick, what on earth do you want? You've locked me in here, not allowing me to make a call. Since I woke up, I haven't even spoken to my family!" Derick froze, then laughed:
"Hadn't I already sent them a message of safety?"
Sophia looked at Derick in front of her, suddenly feeling very unfamiliar.
If it hadn't been for Virginia moving out her uncle, she would never have believed that Derick hadn't made that call at all!

She couldn't even figure out, why on earth was this happening?
Her inner struggle tore at her, leaving her anxious and helpless, as if trapped within four walls, she could not see an ext
She looked at the impeccably dressed Derick, feeling even more anxious inside,
She swept everything off the table onto the floor in one fell swoop, the cup even smashed onto Derick's foot
"Derick, do you dare to swear, did you really make the call?"
She was about to lose control.
Derick slightly furrowed his brow, standing there without moving.
He looked at her deeply for a few seconds, then lowered his head and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands.
It almost forcibly prevented her from pulling back.
"Of course, I swore..."
"You swore, if you didn't call, we would have no chance."

As soon as Sophia spoke, Derick's face instantly turned cold.
