Chapter 392 Things Worsened

It would be too difficult for her to replace the two strangers.

Therefore, the woman accepted the 200, 000 dollars.

When she received the money, Sophia recorded her testimony.

"OK. We're even. Bye."

The woman still felt reluctant but couldn't do anything.

While Sophia headed for the corner where Drake was hiding in her high heels, the latter hid away.

Sophia wasn't like other women. When other women encountered such a matter, they would need their boyfriends' or husbands' help. However, Sophia could handle it herself.

When she walked out of the building, a nurse blocked her way.

"Excuse me, Ma'am. Are you Ms. Sophia Lawson?"

Sophia looked at her in surprise as she didn't know the nurse.

The nurse passed a box to her. "A man surnamed Riley asked me to pass it to you. He's gone. He said if you didn't accept it, you may toss it into a garbage can."

The box wasn't the one with the pink diamond necklace. Instead, there was a new phone in it.

Sophia indeed needed a phone right then.

She took it over. "Thanks."

"Not at all."

Sophia returned to her apartment and found the phone was turned on. There were also signals. Before she made a call, Chloe called.

"Hello, Sophia? How did it go? Have you resolved the matter?"

Sophia realized a SIM card had been inserted. It was late at night, and the employees of the wireless operators should have knocked off already. Only Drake could have things done so rapidly. "Well, It's resolved," Sophia replied.

She briefed Chloe on what had happened and how she had solved the problem.

Chloe breathed a sigh of relief. "Sophia, I'm sorry. I insisted on asking you to come here for my wedding, but you had such an accident."

"It's alright. No big deal."

"But 200, 000 dollars..."

Before Chloe finished her words, Sophia snapped at her, "What do you mean? Do I lack 200, 000 dollars? You are my bestie. Don't be silly."

"OK. OK."

They ended the call after exchanging a few words.

In the living room, Sophia thought for a moment and decided to text Drake to thank him. However, she wondered if his number had changed. She entered his number and typed, "Thank you for the phone. How much is it? Give me your bank account number. I'll return it to you."

Sophia knew he still used the same number after seeing the message was successfully sent.

Somehow, she felt uneasy.

Soon, Drake replied to her, "Not necessary. I'm sleepy. Night."

Sophia didn't text him again. She could return the money to him anytime.

She tossed and turned on the bed at night but couldn't fall asleep. Drake's image was everywhere in her apartment.

Earlier, she could keep calm when she was at home in Pinkerton. After all, her mind was blank when she recalled her memories with Drake.

However, she felt upset while staying in her apartment in Sealand.

Sophia didn't sleep well at all. When she was still sleeping the following morning, her phone rang. Chloe called.

"Hello, Sophia. Bad news! Things worsened!"

Sophia asked, still feeling sleepy, "What's wrong?"

"The man who was accidentally hit by you died last night. His wife complained about you online. Let me send you the video."

Sophia was sober immediately.

She tapped the video from Chloe and watched. The victim's wife sobbed, "My husband was too unlucky. Last night, he had a business dinner with his friends. He was injured. The doctor must have been bribed by those two culprits and said my husband just had a mild concussion. Those two eagerly compensated me with money. I asked them for five million dollars, but they were only willing to offer 200, 000 dollars! Here is the photo of them."

"If you can help me replace them, I will highly appreciate you. I don't hope my husband to die for nothing."

"Boohoo..."

Sophia had thought it was just an accident. Now she realized it was a plot.

She had become a target shortly after returning to Sealand.

She was puzzled about who was plotting against her.

"Are you still listening, Sophia?" Chloe didn't hang up, waiting for her response.

"Seemingly, someone wanted to give me a hard time."

Chloe frowned. "You haven't been in Sealand for two years. Earlier, we'd dealt with all the opponents. Who the earth wants to harm you?"

"No matter who it is, the current situation is unfavorable to me."

That was what Chloe was worried about.

"Sophia, I'll help you replace someone to do an autopsy. Let's see the cause of his death first."

"Not necessary for the time being. Besides, this woman should be unwilling to let her husband take the autopsy."

Being reminded, Chloe realized the man's wife wouldn't allow the autopsy since the man had died so weirdly.

"I'll call Mia to check whom that woman has contacted recently."

"OK, Sophia. If you need any help, feel free to tell me."

"Sure. I will."

Sophia couldn't continue to sleep. Before she got up, Laura called.

She knew her family must have seen the video as well.

"Hello, Mom?" Sophia picked it up.

"What happened? You've been there for two days. How could this thing happen?"

"Someone wants to give me a hard time."

"If I had known it earlier, I wouldn't have let you go there."

Laura felt an intense headache. Sophia's identity had been disclosed in Pinkerton, so no one dared to make trouble for her.

"I must come here, Mom. Chloe is my bestie. I must help her and attend her wedding."

"Alas..."

Her words made sense. No matter how busy she was, she must help Chloe in Sealand.

"All right. Sophia, be careful. If you cannot handle it, call Travis."

"Got it, Mom. I will."

After ending the conversation, she received Emma's call immediately.

"Sophia, I've seen the video and sent Drake to your apartment. You should be with him while staying in Sealand. Don't reject me. You hadn't been in Sealand in the past two years. Only Drake can help you." If Drake had called to offer help, Sophia would have rejected him. However, it was a kind offer from Emma.

"OK. I see. Thank you, Ms. Glass."

Before Emma hung up, Sophia overheard Aria's angry voice. "Shit! Who on earth is framing my sister-in-law?" "It'll be fine. Drake can help her."

Not to mention Sophia, even Drake hadn't expected this matter was planned by someone.

But after Drake thought about it, he had known that man didn't bump into Sophia by accident.
