SWNOVELS Chapter 196 Someone Will Back You up
"They ruined my marriage and treated my wife badly. So I'll make sure that the Lian family and Jonas disappear from A Country!"
Wade shivered when he heard the anger and determination in Colin's voice. He had been with Colin for many years, but he had no idea that he could be so ruthless. "Yes," he answered.
Colin stubbed out the cigarette he was smoking and said, "Well, if Sophia has any problems in the police station, you should secretly help her."
"Yes, Boss Li! I get it!" Hearing Wade's confirmation, Colin disconnected the phone. Wade let out a sigh of relief and silently raised his head to look at the sky, wondering why he wasn't a woman. Colin, Daniel, Levi, Herring... If any of these powerful men had fallen in love with him, he would be very happy!
Shaking his head and coming back to reality, he called up Sophia.
Sophia had a lot of work pending, so she was working overtime when she received Wade's call.
"Hello! Mr. Ji!" Sophia rubbed her eyes and looked at the watch. It was nearly 1:00 am.
Wade was in America. When he heard Sophia's tired voice, he realized that it must be after midnight where Sophia lived. "I'm so sorry to trouble you so late at night, Sophia, "Wade said. "It's all right, Mr. Ji. I hadn't slept yet. What's the matter?" she asked. She packed up her documents and planned to go home.
"Two days ago, I had gone to Song'an County for business. When I came back at midnight, I came across a person..."
Sophia was wide-eyed when she heard the words "Song'an County" and "a person".
Song'an County was Sandy Zhou's hometown and Sandy was the maid who had identified her as the murderer. Sophia had been looking for her for a long time.
"Mr. Ji, who did you meet?" Sophia could not hide her excitement. If it was Sandy then she could prove that she hadn't done those things and was innocent.
Wade silently sighed. "I heard the others call her Sandy Zhou. Then I remembered that Boss Li and you were looking for her. Sophia, are you still looking for her?"
Sophia actually believed everything he said. "Oh yes, I am. Now... No, tomorrow I'll go to Song'an County to meet her," she said.
Sophia was deeply affected when she heard that Colin was also looking for Sandy. It seemed that she could forgive all the previous hurt caused by him.
"Don't bother, Sophia. I just wanted to confirm that you were also looking for her. I'll ask someone to bring her to your city," said Wade. Actually, Sandy had already been brought to the city. Wade just said this to prevent Sophia from going there.
"Ah! Mr. Ji, Thank you so much! When will you be back? Let me take you out to dinner and thank you in person. You should invite your wife also." Sophia was a little high-strung. Because she would be able to prove her innocence soon.
Wade hastily declined her offer. "No, no! It's not me who has helped you. If you really want to express your gratitude, then you must thank Mr. Li."
Sophia got confused. "What? Colin?" she asked.
"Well yes. After all, it was Mr. Li who sent me to work there. Had he not sent me, I would not be here, right?" Wade admired himself for his quick wit.
"That makes sense. But... All right. I'll thank him when he comes back. What about you? When will you be back? When can I see Sandy?" Sophia couldn't wait to meet Sandy.
Wade knew that it would take Colin several days to be back, so he said, "A few days later. I need to deal with some important work here before I can be back. But, you do not need to worry. I will watch over Sandy for you."
'Sophia is so naive. Even if I really had met Sandy unintentionally, would I have dared to tell her that without Mr. Li's permission?' Wade thought to himself. 'Mr. Li is really nice to her. How come she still doesn't know that? I wish she knew.'
"Okay, thanks again!" said Sophia.
"You're welcome. And there's another thing I need to tell you."
"Yes?" asked Sophia.
Wade cleared his throat and said, "Well... Sophia, if there is something that you want to do, just do it. You don't need to worry about the consequences. Someone will back you up. Just do whatever you like." Someone? Sophia's heart beat faster as she thought whether that someone was Colin. She dared not ask. She was afraid that she might be thinking too much. Unable to control herself, she finally asked, "Who asked you to tell me all this?"
"Mr. Li," answered Wade after some hesitation.
... 'Colin! So it really is Colin. What does he mean?' Sophia thought. 'Does this mean that he is on my side? Whatever! I'm just happy that he allowed Wade to tell me all this.'
Sophia knew that Colin would help her anyway, so she didn't ask any more questions. But she was still afraid that Wade might forget about Sandy since he was a very busy man, so she reminded him once again. "Okay. Thank you so much, Mr Ji! Do get in touch when you come back."
"I will. Sophia, just one more thing, you know that it is not easy to find Sandy. So I hope that you will use this opportunity to totally destroy those you dislike. Should you need any more help, give me a call." Sophia shrugged her shoulders at Wade's words. 'Why is he acting so strange, tonight? Who is actually on my side? Him or Colin?' Sophia thought to herself.
"Sure! Good night, Mr Ji."
"Good night, Sophia."
Once the call had ended, Sophia stared at the phone. Her mind was in a whirlwind.
'I went to Song'an County to look for Sandy. But Sandy's parents avoided meeting me.
No matter how hard I begged them, they didn't tell me where Sandy was.
People hired by me also said that they hadn't seen Sandy return home.
Then how did Wade come across Sandy. Should I thank Wade or Colin? Well, I'll thank both of them.
Besides, Colin now supported Dorothy. I can try my best to put Dorothy behind bars, however I can't decide how long she would stay in the prison.'
Sophia picked up her things and went to the parking lot. She got inside her car and drove home.
When she was waiting for Wade to come back, she had finally figured out what she should do. She decided to get even with Dorothy this time!
Though there was no guarantee how long Dorothy will be kept behind bars, she could tell everyone what Dorothy had done so that she would be totally humiliated. Besides, Dorothy was about to marry soon. So, this would be an excellent gift for her!
As for Colin... He shouldn't blame Sophia, As he was planning to marry her enemy. After she put Dorothy into prison, she... would pursue Colin and marry him as compensation.
Sophia quickly shook her head when she realized that she was thinking too high of herself. 'Colin would never accept me if I made a move on him.
But if I get a chance, I will definitely ask him about the person who has been helping me. Is it him or Wade?' she thought. 'I hope it is Colin.'
Some days later
Sophia was driving home as usual. After she left the company's parking lot, something suddenly hit her car window.
The loud noise from the window startled Sophia. Then there was one loud noise after another. Scared, she quickly switched on the turn signal and pulled up her car by the roadside.☐☐☐☐☐
