"I wouldn't dream of it. It's all part of the procedure. I'll find a way! I promise."
Sophie spoke softly, "I don't mean to trouble you. Since it's so difficult for your team to conduct the investigation, I’ll have my people handle it."
"But..."
"As long as we get the evidence, that's all that matters, right?"
Officer Derick finally said, "You're right, Ms. Sophie. I'll get in touch with your team right away. As long as we can find the evidence and explain that billion-dollar gap, you won't be in trouble."
Sophie remained silent, which was as good as an agreement.
Officer Derick continued with difficulty, "There's one more thing..."
"What now? Is there any bad news you haven't told me?"
"It's about Ms. Jenna. She has been causing a scene outside for quite some time, asking to see you. But according to regulations, she can't come in right now. Could you possibly say something to have her leave? It's really not a good look."
Jenna and Sophie were not to be trifled with. One had Adler backing her, and the other had Colby. Officer Derick was really out of options.
Sophie lowered her gaze.
In her past life, she didn't have many good friends, and Jenna was the first true sister she had since her rebirth. At such a time, Jenna must be really worried about her.
Sophie slowly said, "Just tell her I'm fine, not to worry, and to go back for now. There's no need to contact anyone on my behalf."
"Is that all?"
"Yes."
"Alright! Then I'll go tell Ms. Jenna." Officer Derick left politely.
Just as she reached the back door, Sophie saw a familiar black Maybach. The driver opened the rear door, and Sophie got in.
Initially, she thought it was Colby's contingency plan for her, but now it seemed not to be the case.
"Are you with the Aldridge family?"
She had visited the Aldridge family three times and had some recollection of its members. She had seen the driver in front of her before. He was Gordon’s personal driver.
"Ms. Sophie, Mr. Gordon has instructed me to take you back to the Aldridge estate. We've arranged for your protection, and no one will know."
Sophie fell silent.
She hadn't expected Gordon's influence to have spread this far. With just a word, he had managed to have the police release her.
