Drenched in Love

Chapter 82 Left With a Man

"It was not like a normal bankruptcy." From a few simple words, Sophia heard the problem.

Vincent nodded: "Yes. It was not normal, someone was behind it. For five years, I've been trying to find

out who did it, but I have no clue. That man did a good job."

Actually, he got a few, but it was useless.

Sophia lowered her eyes and continued to ask: "How is my father?" She had met Calvin, but she had

not yet met her father, Ashton Carter. She didn't know if her father was well now.

"He is in good health. Calvin went to America to study. And your father went with him. I went to see him

once during the Spring Festival. You needn't worry."

Sophia nodded. She felt relieved since her father and brother were fine. Someday, she could go to

America to meet her father.

Vincent leaned forward and said softly, "Sophia, I will tell your father about your situation. If there is an

opportunity, I will take you to America to see him."

Sophia was tempted, but she did not accept: "No. I'll go by myself." Vincent had been in the past for

her. He had married and had a child. If she entangled herself with him, she would become a mistress

who destroyed his marriages. She would not do that. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

After that, Sophia got up to leave. Vincent stretched out his hand to help, Sophia pushed his hand

away: "Don't touch me."

Although now Sophia was better to him, they could not be back to the past. He withdrew his hand and

whispered, "Slow down, then."

Emmanuel had been staring at them at the door of the café. Seeing that Sophia was out, he

immediately came over, and was to carry her to the car. Sophia turned aside her body and said: "I can

walk by myself."

Emmanuel did not insist, but walked behind her to protect her.

Emmanuel drove the car, but it was not heading to the villa. Emmanuel asked, "Sophia, it's almost

noon. Let's have dinner together."

Sophia said with a smile: "Ok, let’s eat nearby the Berry Group and asked Hazel to join us." With that,

Sophia took out her mobile phone to call Hazel.

"Sophia, let me call her." Emmanuel pulled over to the side of the road. The call was soon answered:

"I'm with Sophia, she's fine now, don't worry. We're going to have you for lunch. Are you free? No? All

right then."

Emmanuel hung up the phone and said to Sophia: "Hazel said she is not free at noon."

In the public relations department office of the Berry Group.

Hazel took the mobile phone with a smile: "Ok! I want to eat..." Before she had finished speaking,

Emmanuel said no. Hazel was stunned and hummed to phone.

As she put the phone on the desk, a message came from Sophia: Hazel, we have not had a meal

together for some time. Come and eat with us.

Hazel smiled and replied: sorry, Sophia. I forgot the files the manager asked me to sort out yesterday. I

have to sort them out before I am off work this afternoon. I can’t have dinner with you, but my brother

can.

In the Berry villa.

When Hannah woke up, it was eleven o’clock at noon. She went into the room to see if Sophia woke up

or not, but no one was there, so she went out to find her, but she failed. The servant told her, "Miss

Carter is out. She took a man's car out and has not come back yet."

Hannah was self-condemned, how could she fall asleep? Miss Carter was out. What would she say if

Stephen asked?

When she was anxious, the phone rang in the living room, and she went to pick it up. It was Stephen:

"Hannah, has Sophia got up? Has she taken your medicine? Has Dr. Joe been to see her yet? What

did he say?"

Stephen finished the meeting and made a call to the villa. He originally wanted to call Sophia directly,

but he was afraid that he would disturb Sophia’s rest, so he called the landline.

Hannah had not spoken, which made Stephen anxious: "What's wrong? Does Sophia have a fever

again?"

Hannah was restless: what should she say? To be honest? But if he knew she failed in her duty... If she

didn't tell the truth...thinking Stephen’s attitude to Sophia, thinking of Jessie who had helped her, and

Sophia was the killer of Jessie...

"Sir, Miss Carter is awake long ago. She has not eaten or taken medicine. When she woke up, she

went out. I stopped her and she got mad at me. She ran to the door and left with a man."

After she said these words, her heart thumped. She never lied to Stephen. She clenched the receiver,

waiting for Stephen to speak. There was silence for a while, Stephen came a little heavy breathing, and

then the phone was cut off.

Hannah put the receiver back, looking at the landline, thought secretly: Miss Carter, you hurt Miss

Quainton first.

In an ordinary restaurant.

When having a meal, Emmanuel gallantly helped Sophia with food.

"Emmanuel, I can do it myself." Sophia was embarrassed.

Emmanuel asked her, "Sophia, don't you consider me your friend? In my eyes, you and Hazel are my

sister, is there anything wrong a brother takes care of his sister?"

Hearing that, Sophia felt relieved.

After lunch, they came out from the restaurant and saw the white Porsche parked a short distance

across the street. Emmanuel frowned. "I feel that car familiar."

Sophia took a look and found it was Vincent's car: "Let's go."

A short way out, the white Porsche started. Emmanuel stepped on the accelerator and the Porsche

sped up. "It's coming after us," he said.

Emmanuel looked at Sophia. Sophia said in a cold voice: "I don't want to see him."

Emmanuel turned down the side lane, and finally threw the Porsche off after many turnings.

Vincent was just worried about Sophia. Her foot was injured now, if she got bullied, she could not run

away. He was behind and was ready to help in case something wrong.

Men knew men well. Emmanuel said to Sophia he just took her as a sister, but Vincent knew,

Emmanuel liked Sophia.
