SWNOVELS Chapter 140
Chapter 140: He Was Deaf
After Virginia finished speaking, she looked at Sophia, who was again expressionless, and suddenly felt somewhat angry.
“Was this woman deaf?”
The secretary dared not speak.
This was taken for granted in Virginia’s eyes.
Virginia gritted her teeth, “Damn, it’s a disabled person!”
She finished speaking and turned to leave.
It seemed there was some regret in coming.
Sophia couldn’t help but laugh:
“Ms. Sullivan, the pink Maserati that appears at the mansion’s entrance every day, it’s yours, isn’t it?”
Virginia immediately stopped in her tracks, her face flushing red:
“Yes, it was me. That place was originally where I lived. Because you came, I couldn’t get in. You took over my nest, do you feel good about that?”
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth.
She, however, knew nothing about Derick’s romantic history.
But judging from Virginia’s expression, it didn’t seem like she was lying.
Chapter 140: He Was Deaf
Was it really true?
This was a bit embarrassing.
A subtle sense of resistance suddenly arose in Sophia’s heart, truly making her feel guilty.
“I… I didn’t know.”
Virginia snorted coldly, sat down on the sofa, and crossed her arms.
“Well, now that you know, you can get lost!”
Sophia frowned, if she hadn’t agreed to Derick, she would have just left.
But now, I’m afraid it wouldn’t work.
Seeing her hesitation, Virginia was so angry that she almost jumped up:
“Look, look, I knew it! You’re such a materialistic woman who only loves money and can’t bear to leave. It’s just too much!”
Sophia pursed her lips, lowering her gaze without saying a word.
Was guessing in my heart, how much truth was there in what Virginia said?
But it was at this very moment.
Derick came back under the urging of the secretary.
His face was stern and unpleasant, indicating that he had stepped out before the meeting was over.
“Virginia, get out!”

He was straightforward.
Virginia stood up angrily, her eyes instantly reddening:
“You’ve changed, you’ve become someone I don’t even recognize anymore, you never used to yell at me!”
Derick’s face showed not the slightest hesitation as he looked at his secretary:
“Have security come up and take her away. She is not allowed to enter the Woodward Group ever again!”
“Yes,”
The secretary promptly responded and hurriedly ran off.
Virginia, upset and feeling wronged, angrily threw her bag at Derick:
“You bastard, how could you do this to me? Did this woman threaten you? You never used to talk to me like this!”
Derick’s face was ashen, he flung her bag on the ground, his eyes and brows full of disdain and indifference:
“I never had any feelings for you, it was all your wishful thinking. I hope you can face the reality, Sophia is my only wife, she is the one I love, and it will always be just her!”
After he finished speaking, Virginia’s face changed drastically. She glanced at the bag thrown on the ground, her lips trembling, unable to utter a word.
Just at the moment the bodyguard entered.
She suddenly sat down on the ground and started crying.
#took everyone by suprise for a moment
Sophia was originally watching the drama, but when she saw this part. She was stol
Virgina sat on the ground, Kicking her legs and crying loudly, with no regard for her image.
“You bastard, you bastard. Derick, you promised to treat me well…”
Virginia, don’t think I’m unaware, your father had a purpose in having you get close to me, we were merely using each other.”
“You can leave now. I never had any feelings for you!”
Derick’s words were cold and cruel.
There was not the slightest hesitation or reluctance.
Virginia’s face changed drastically.
Her lips turned white for a moment, recalling how she used to tug at his sleeve:
“But I was sincere to you, I never told my dad about your matters…”
Before even touching his clothes, she was coldly pushed away by Derick.
“Taken away.”
“Yes,”
The bodyguard stepped forward and dragged Virginia away without any dignity.
She started crying recklessly…

Chapter 140 He Was Deaf
A flash crossed Sophia’s mind suddenly.
Couldn’t speak.
She did not hate this woman.
She seemed hot–tempered, but she couldn’t hide secrets in her heart.
Such people were often very simple.
The office quieted down again.
Derick’s face, pale as iron, softened slightly before he turned to approach her:
“Did I scare you?”
Sophia chuckled and sat down on the balcony chair.
“Just a bit surprised, your ex–girlfriend?”
Derick frowned, decisively rejecting:
“Of course not, I have no relation to her at all. She is my aunt’s stepdaughter, Laurent’s biological daughter. She has been arrogant and domineering since she was a child, which is really annoying.”
Sophia raised an eyebrow, “Laurent’s daughter?”
Derick seemed quite annoyed with this father–daughter duo, he nodded:
To be precise, it was Laurent who adopted his deceased brother’s daughter, otherwise his aunt wouldn’t have been with him all the time.
However, Laurent deliberately let her get close to me in order to find my weakness.

Chapter 13 He Was Deat
“I… I suspect that this father and daughter are somehow involved in my brother’s death!”
Sophia was silent for a few seconds.
It turned out to be related to Darion.
No wonder Derick had such a bad attitude towards Virginia
She seemed to understand a bit.
The complexity of the interests involved in the wealthy families was truly unimaginable,
Derick’s face was impassive, his throat paused slightly;
“I shouldn’t have told you this, Sophia, you don’t have to pay attention to her.”
Sophia chuckled, then sighed:
“Don’t be too upset either.”
It was evident that Darion’s death was a mental block for Derick.
Derick’s mother had passed away a long time ago. In the cutthroat dye vat that was the Woodward family, he was able to protect himself and become a person who could not be ignored, largely due to Gina’s role.
So, the good relationship between Derick and Darion was natural.
Derick glanced at his watch, “I have to go back for a meeting, you…”
“Go ahead, it’s fine.”
“I would have the security tighten their vigilance.”
Sophia chuckled and nodded.
Chapter 1:42 He Was Deat
Derick left, Sophia took a deep breath, feeling that staying inside was pointless, so she went out on her own.
The secretary politely asked her what she needed.
Sophia took out the spare card left by Derick, speaking gently:
“I went to the store downstairs to buy something and came back, no need to follow me.”
“Alright, ma’am.”
The secretary began to speak with a smile.
Sophia took the elevator downstairs.
Entered the supermarket downstairs.
She swept her gaze around and headed to the snack section.
But there was still one person standing in the snack area.
Unexpected.
Virginia was just standing there, eating chocolate in big bites. When she saw me, she froze for a moment, quickly wiped her mouth with her sleeve, then put on a cold demeanor and turned to leave.
However, something suddenly occurred to her, she turned back to look at Sophia:
“Did you not take an ugly photo of me?”
Sophia:
She just wanted to laugh!
“No.”

Virginia snorted coldly, took a few steps, then came back, picked a piece of dark chocolate, and stuffed it into Sophia’s hand.
Sophia looked at her blankly,
Virginia spoke reluctantly:
“He liked to eat this kind of chocolate when he was in a bad mood. Take some back with you. I just saw him almost have a heart attack because of me!”
Sophia couldn’t help but lower her head and chuckle:
“Thank you, Ms. Sullivan.”
Virginia bit her lower lip, giving her a glare:
“I was going to take it back sooner or later, I didn’t care whether you were married or not.”
Sophia was silent for a few seconds, then couldn’t help but speak:
“Ms. Sullivan, I’m not aware of what happened between you two before, but I thank you on his behalf for caring so much about him.”
Virginia sneered, “What you said actually makes sense!”
She took a deep breath, clutching her chest:
“This Derick is so superficial, he claimed to love my soul, but now he’s fallen for your face!”
Sophia: “.
