Chapter 119


    Sophia was about to read the second novel when her phone rang without warning.


    She nced at the screen. The caller ID showed that the call was from the police station.


    Arching a brow, she answered the call. “Hello, this is Sophia Yarrow.”


    “Hello, Ms. Yarrow. This is Wesnd Police Station. Last night, you found a phone and left it at the


    police station. Do you still remember this incident?”


    “Yes,” came Sophia''s calm reply.


    She waited patiently for the police officer to continue speaking.


    “Right. The owner of the phone is here. He said the phone is valuable as there is a lot of important


    information inside. Thus, he would like to thank you in person. If possible, could you make a trip here?”


    Sophia let out a low chuckle. “I''m sorry, but I''m not free right now. I don''t need his gratitude. Thanks.”


    With that said, she cut the line.


    At the same time, the police officer nced at Alexander in the police station.


    “Mr. Xenos, Ms. Yarrow isn''t free right now. She said she doesn''t need your gratitude. So...”


    Alexander lowered his head and nced at his phone. Sophia''s reaction was within his expectations.


    He gave a curt nod. “Thank you.”


    As Alexander turned to leave, Felix promptly caught up to him.


    Night fell in Jadeborough earlier than usual. It was only six in the evening, but the sky waspletely


    dark.


    Sophia finally closed the file in her hands. She grabbed her phone and her bag, ready to head home.


    The moment she pushed the door open, she bumped into Sadie, who was running toward her office


    despite wearing heels.


    Sadie halted to a stop before Sophia.


    Realizing her obtruding manner, Sadie immediately took one step backward. “I''m sorry, Ms. Yarrow.”


    Sophia shot her a smile. “It''s fine. What happened?”


    Hearing that, Sadie looked at her grimly. “The olddy who imed to be your grandmother this


    morning has shown up again.”


    Sophia''s brows twitched. “Didn''t they leave?”


    “They are back. This time, they are apanied by an influencer and a few cameramen. The


    influencer runs an ount on a video-sharing tform that focuses on helping others,” Sadie


    exined.


    Oh? They are resorting to public opinion now?


    Sophiaughed. “Are they downstairs now?”


    Sadie nodded. “Security won''t let them in, so the elderlydy sat on the ground and wailed her heart


    out. It''s time for everyone to get off work, so employees from otherpanies would see them on the


    way home...”


    It would leave a bad impression.


    Sadie dared not say that out loud, of course. She sensed Sophia''s aura changing in the middle of her


    sentence.


    Sophia''s smile slipped as she nced at Sadie. “Got it.”


    They want to see me, right? I''ll do just that.


    Sophia''s expression darkened momentarily. She quickly put on a smile and urged, “Let''s go.”


    “Ms. Yarrow, why don''t you leave through the side door?” Sadie suggested.


    After entering the elevator, Sophia turned to her. “If I leave through the side door, can you solve the


    situation alone?”


    Delh was still as stubborn as usual. It was useless to try to reason with someone as uncultured as


    her.


    Sadie hung her head in shame. If she was capable of solving the problem herself, she wouldn''t need to


    rush upstairs to see if Sophia had gotten off work.


    “Ms. Yarrow, I''m sorry,” she apologized.


    Sophia''s lips curled. “What are you sorry for?”


    “I didn''t settle the problem well...”


    “Then watch and learn,” Sophia stated slowly.


    Judging from the smile hanging on her lips, it didn''t seem like she was going to ce the me on


    Sadie.


    Sadie froze as a blush crept up her face.


    Right then, the elevator doors slid open.


    Sophia shot Sadie onest look and strode out of the elevator.


    Outside, she heard Delh''s wails echoing around the lobby.


    Delh''s voice was so loud as though she was afraid no one could hear her. Beside her, a woman


    holding a microphone wasforting her. Rupert stood next to her and kept stealing nces at the


    elevator.


    Sophia lifted a brow and tutted.


    I was right.


    She marched over to them and dered, “I heard you wanted to see me.”


    Rupert stared at Sophia in disbelief.


    Back when Sophia was young, she was skinny and looked malnourished.


    It was normal for a girl to blossom into a pretty youngdy, but Rupert had no idea Sophia would turn


    out to be this gorgeous.


    Delh''s job was to cry, while Rupert was tasked to keep an eye on Sophia. He had spotted Sophia the


    moment she stepped out of the elevator.


    After observing Sophia closely, he realized she did resemble his sister, Rachel Sharp. Nevertheless, he


    dared not im to be Sophia''s uncle right now.


    Sophia was standing right before them. She was smiling, but her smile didn''t quite reach her eyes.


    Instead, she pinned them with a withering stare, and Rupert couldn''t bring himself to speak.


    After hearing Sophia''s words, Delh immediately stopped crying and scrambled to her feet swiftly. She


    gave Sophia the once-over.


    Delh was surprised to see Sophia for the first time after twenty years.


    This worthless ingrate is quite pretty. I shouldn''t have done that back then. If I were to bring her up and


    marry her to a rich man in the vige, Rupert wouldn''t end up being this useless.


    It was toote to change things now. Delh calmed down and reached out to grab Sophia. “Ungrateful


    brat! How dare you refuse to meet your granny and uncle!”


    Sophia dodged her advances and took a step back. She watched as Delh pretended to cry and call


    her a heartless woman.

    Without a word, she stood rooted to the spot and enjoyed Delh''s show.


    As Sophia didn''t bother defending herself, the influencer Delh invited spoke up. “Hello, Ms. Yarrow.


    I''m the host of ''I''m Here to Help,'' and my name is Lexie. We were told that Old Mrs. Sharp and Mr.


    Sharp are your rtives. ording to Old Mrs. Sharp, she showed up this morning to see you, but


    your security guards kicked her out.”


    Sophia nced at the host. “So why did they ask for your help?”


    Lexie had never seen anyone as calm as Sophia. She froze and only came back to her senses a while


    later. “They just want to see you. Old Mrs. Sharp said she only has a son and a daughter. Your mom


    and dad passed ten years ago, so she could never meet her daughter again. Besides, you''re her


    granddaughter. She misses you a lot.”


    Sophia nced at Delh before turning to look at the host calmly. “Did they ask for your help because


    they want to meet me?”


    “Yes.” Lexie nodded.


    “I''m here. Now that you''ve seen me, can you leave instead of blocking mypany''s entrance?''


    As Sophia was unfazed, Lexie parted her lips to say something, but Sophia didn''t give her a chance to


    do so. “Oh, I know. You have another purpose, right?”


    Sophia looked Delh in the eye. “Tell me. How much do you want?”


    She pulled her checkbook out and shot Delh a half-smile.
