Chapter 223 All the Lawson Brothers Were Gone
"I n to send him to a branch abroad. As you know, you''re still assisting him in Send, so he can
finish his tasks without considering too much. I want him to be mature ASAP. Therefore, I must
send him away."
Sophia felt weird. Edwin had just left, but Bard was about to be sent away. Was it possible that Travis
had colluded with Drake to send Bard away?
However, she denied this idea the next second and believed Travis must be on her side.
She thought it must be a coincidence.
"OK. I see, Travis."
"Ehn. Can you keep an eye on yourpanies by yourself?"
"No problem."
When Bard received the news, he went ballistic and refused to leave Send.
Heined to Travis, "Travis, why must I go there? Why can''t you send Sophia there instead?"
"Aren''t you worried about letting Sophia be abroad alone?"
Bard was rendered speechless. If Sophia went abroad alone, of course, he wouldn''t rest assured.
"That branch needs a general manager. Of course, I can send another person, but I want to give you
this chance to develop your ability, so I decide to send you there."
Obviously, it was Travis''mand. Bard could do nothing but obeyed him.
"When shall I depart?"
"The sooner, the better."
Bard promised Edwin to take good care of Sophia, but he would break his word soon.
Thest thing he wanted to do was to leave Sophia in Send alone, but Travis'' order came at such a
critical moment.
Standing before Sophia, Bard said, "Sophia, Charles will go home soon. You and Chloe will be here
alone. Chloe treasures her lover more than your friendship, so she has taken Drake''s side. We cannot

expect her to be any helpful, so you must be careful, Sophia."
Rubbing her eyebrows, Sophia answered, "Why don''t you trust me?"
"I cannot, Sophia. I''m so afraid you''ll end up staying with Drake forever after we leave."
Chloe was unhappy about his words and mumbled, "Even if you are still here, Sophia will be with
Drake eventually."
"Look at her! She''s your best friend. How could she say that?"
Sophia chuckled. "All right, Bard. Don''t worry. If Drake and I are destined to be together, I cannot do
anything else, can I?"
Bard heaved a sigh and couldn''t utter any word.
The flight waited for no one. Although reluctant, Bard had to leave.
"All right. I''ll board the ne now. Sophia, call me if you need anything."
"Sure."
Hiding in a corner, Drake watched the scene delightfully.
Only Charles was left, but Drake wasn''t worried too much because Charles would leave Send soon.
Aria thumbed up at him. "Bravo, Drake."
Drake smiled at her triumphantly.
Charles was attached to Sophia every day. However, after his vacation ended, he had to leave as well.
On the day of his departure, he reminded Sophia, "You must be careful, Sophia. You cannot win
against Drake."
Sophia''s lips twitched. "Charles, youck confidence in me, right?"
"Right."
Sophia was wordless as she didn''t expect her older brother to answer her without hesitation.
"If you fail to resist him, it''ll be all right. Although Edwin and Bard refused to admit it, they had epted
Drake."
"I have to admit Drake has been loyal to you over the years. Such a kind of man is rare nowadays. If
you marry him, we''ll rest assured."
It was the first time Sophia heard him praise Drake, so she was surprised.
"All right. Time to go. Think twice before making a decision. I hope you know what you''re doing."
"Of course."
Sophia nodded.
Watching Charles leave, she sighed.
When she was little, she could always be with her brothers.
Somehow, after they grew up, they were busy at work. Gradually, theycked time to be together.
At least each of them fought hard towards their goals, which was a good thing.
Sophia didn''t go to work afterward but went to Emma''s house.
Emma asked, "Have all your brothers left?"
"Right. When they were here, it was lively. After they were gone, it became too quiet. I''m not used to it."
"Don''t be upset. They left for the time being. Soon you will meet."
Sophia nodded. "Ms. ss, I''m here for Aria''s matter."
"Oh? What happened to her?"
"I promised her to find the y scripts that suit her. She told me she felt bored while staying home all
the time. She wanted to have her own career."
Emma smiled in satisfaction. "Great. You know this industry well. Please help Aria more."
"No problem."
Upon hearing her words, Aria was overjoyed. She took the yscript from Sophia and browsed it
quickly.
"A romance soap opera?"
"Yep. It''s not a traditional soap opera. There are different elements in this soap opera. The actor
ying the male lead is Alfred Kelley."
Aria gaped at her in disbelief. "Alfred Kelley? The popr actor with good acting skills. Did you ask him
to y opposite me?"
"Yep. You must seize this chance to act well and be famous."
Aria kept nodding. "I will. I will. When shall I attend the training?"
"You have two days to get familiar with the yscript. I''ll send the tutor to you."
"OK. Thank you so much, Sophia."
Sophia beamed at her. "You are wee."
Emma didn''t thank her as being too polite might bring distance between them.
After staying for a while, Sophia was about to leave.
Emma suggested, "You''ll be alone after returning home. Why don''t you stay for dinner?"
"Thank you, Ms. ss, but I have an appointment. See you next time."
Emma didn''t insist on asking her to stay.
Surprisingly, when Sophia arrived at her door, she heard sounds from inside.
Frowning, Sophia wondered if someone had broken into her house.
She fetched an axe from the hose box. While quietly opening the door, she sneaked in to look for the
intruder.
Suddenly, a voice sounded out, "Right. Put them here."
Sophia was startled. "Drake?"
Drake looked over at her. Seeing the axe in her hands, he asked in surprise, "What are you doing,
Sophia?"
Following his gaze, Sophia realized she was holding an axe and put it down. "I thought someone had
broken into my house."
