308.Chapter 308

Ryan had just gotten back from Windmere yesterday and had already heard plenty about Crestview Group. Standing next to Easton, Ryan finally couldn’t hold back. He said, “Seriously, who does Derrick think he is? Just grabbing Sophia and walking out in front of everyone like it’s nothing. Isn’t the gossip about them messy enough already?

“Even if they’re not actually related, he’s still her so-called brother. Is he trying to ruin Sophia’s reputation or what?” Easton drained his glass in one gulp and said, “Gordon, go tell those reporters: if even a single photo of them hits the internet and sparks any drama or bad press, they’ll be slapped with a lawsuit from me.”

“Yes, Mr. Foster,” Gordon replied.

Once Gordon was gone, Ryan tried to reassure Easton. He said, “Just grit your teeth for now. Once Mr. Lowe’s situation is sorted and you’ve taken care of George and Alex, then you can finally clear things up with Sophia.”

Easton strode into the private room and slammed his glass down. He said, “Sophia didn’t just block my number and WhatsApp. Now she’s even handed off all the projects she’s been running to someone else at the company.

“She showed up at the event today, but made sure to avoid me the whole time. She’s dead set on never seeing me again.” Ryan had never seen Easton, the man who always had everything under control, so visibly frustrated. He wanted to say something, but honestly, he had no idea what to say.

Just then, Gordon knocked and stepped in. He said, “Mr. Foster, it seems like George and Alex are up to something.”

Easton glanced up and gave a quiet, “Mm.”

Ryan looked pleased. He said, “Good, I was worried they’d just sit on their hands. Tell Mr. Lowe to watch for the right moment, and if needed, give Crestview Group a little nudge from behind.”

“Yes, Mr. Howard,” Gordon replied.

Meanwhile, at Crestview Group, Emily asked anxiously, “Mr. Grant, how’s it looking?”

Paolo stood next to Derrick, grinning with total confidence. He said, “With Mr. Grant handling things himself, what’s there to be afraid of?

“See? Told you it’d be over in no time. Hah, the Weston Group thinks they can mess with us? They’re way too green.”

Emily’s eyes went wide. She thought, ‘Damn, that’s awesome. Derrick is officially a legend in my book now.’

Sophia watched Emily’s jaw drop, her eyes crinkling with amusement.

“Emily, you’ll pick up so much working with Derrick. Just give it your all,” Sophia said with a smile.

Emily stood next to them, clutching her files, nodding vigorously.

After Paolo and Emily left the office, Derrick walked over to Sophia, gave her a gentle pat on the head, and grinned. He said, Come on, let me take you to the airport.”

“Sure,” Sophia said with a smile.

On the way to the airport, Derrick kept sneaking glances at Sophia. Finally, he asked, “Baby, so when are you coming back to keep me company after this trip?”

Sophia rolled her eyes and said, “Didn’t I already tell you? I’m not coming back anytime soon. I want to spend some real time with Lucas in Japoria. Besides, I promised Uncle Edward.

“Just think of it as me taking a vacation with no set return date.”

Derrick said, “If you want to be with Lucas, he can come back to Jenston. If you just want a break, you can do that here, too. I’m back now, so you don’t have to worry about the Weston family finding him.

“With me here, nobody’s gonna touch you or Lucas. Honestly, I’d sleep way better if you guys just stayed here instead of running off abroad.”

Sophia understood where Derrick was coming from. With the Weston family being so bold these days, it was only natural for him to be worried.

Seeing Sophia stay silent, Derrick didn’t push it any further.

“Mr. Foster, Ms. Roth is at the airport right now. Ses Dune a illiyit for tonight and is heading back to Japoria,” Gordon reported.
