When it got dark, Sophia finally finished wiping the three hundred square meters of the banquet hall., She really could not hold it on, borrowed money from Hazel and took a taxi to the company to take painkillers, and then went back to ZD Villa to soak herself in the bathtub. When the hot water wrapped her cold body, Sophia took a sigh of relief., Because it was comfortable, Sophia could not help but fell asleep., When Sophia woke up, the water in the bathtub was cold. She was woken up by a violent knock on the door., Sophia frowned, took the bath towel to wipe her body. Seeing the water got red by her period blood, she frowned, put on clothes and opened the door., Standing at the door was Daniel.,

"Miss Carter, the people from the public relations department are going to have dinner with the people from the Johnson Group tonight. Mr. Berry asked me to take you there.

" Sophia tightly pressed her lips without a word., Daniel continued,

"Miss Carter, Mr. Berry said that if you want to know where your family is, you'd better not give it a second thought.

", Sophia's facial expression changed,

"Wait a minute, I go get changed.

", Sophia could inquire from others about her family, but she knew if Stephen got in the way, she would not get anything., ST was Stephen's world., It was the same banquet hall that was cleaned during the day., Sophia followed Daniel over, the banquet hall had been full of people., Hazel took the lead to come over and talk to Sophia. She asked with concern,

"Sophia, are you better?

", Sophia nodded,

"Much better. Thank you, Hazel.

", Hazel smiled,

"You are welcome. We're good friends. Don't be so polite.

", Sophia held Hazel's hand. She knew Hazel really took her as a good friend.,

"You have not yet had dinner tonight, I suppose? There's a buffet over there. Let's go and have some food together!

" Hazel took Sophia's hand to the east., As two people picked up the plate, Daniel came over,

"Miss Carter, Mr. Berry is looking for you.

", Sophia felt annoyed. Hazel held Sophia's arm worriedly., Sophia smiled: In ST, whether she or Hazel, could not go against Stephen's words., She raised her hand to hold Hazel's hand and gave her a placatory smile,

"It will be ok. You eat first, and I'll be with you in a moment.

", Stephen called Sophia to drink for him. There were many people proposed toast to Stephen, Stephen could not drink anymore and did not want to drink anymore, so he asked Sophia to do that for him. Looking at Sophia drink one by one, someone teased,

"Mr. Berry, who is this beauty? She can drink a lot!

", Stephen glanced at Sophia,

"My employee from the public relations department. You have a talk. I'll go over there and have a look.

", Stephen left Sophia there., Fortunately, this was a public place, and the man was not a sleazy person. Sophia was asked to drink much wine and did not get hurt. After the dinner, Stephen together with people of the public relations department saw the people from the Johnson Group off.,

"You all go back.

" Stephen ordered., Hazel took Sophia's arm,

"Sophia, let's take a taxi back.

", Sophia nodded,

"Ok.

", Stephen held Sophia's other arm,

"You go first, she goes with me.

", Hazel looked at Stephen, then looked at Sophia. She let go of Sophia's arm, and got in the taxi,

"Sophia, be careful.

" Hazel looked at Stephen and said so. Sophia nodded., After everyone walked away, the driver drove Stephen's Rolls-Royce over., Stephen got in it first. Sophia stood on the edge of the road and watched. She did not know if Stephen really wanted to send her back, or wanted to let her walk back again., Seeing her stood there, Stephen frowned,

"Hurry up!

", Sophia no longer hesitated, got in the car, sitting beside Stephen. Daniel sat on the passenger seat, so she could only sit beside Stephen., She shrank her body and leaned to the door, as far as possible to keep a distance away from Stephen., Stephen looked at her and did not speak., As the car drove some distance, Stephen, who had been silent, said,

"Stop.

" After the car stopped, Stephen told Sophia,

"Get off.

", Sophia did not understand what Stephen meant., Stephen impatiently said again,

"Get off!

", Sophia bit her lip, opened the door, and got off the car. Looking at the scenery around, Sophia probably knew where this was. It was far away from ZD Villa, and not she had severe abdominal pain. It was impossible to walk back. Sophia looked at Stephen sitting in the car, feebly said,

"Mr. Berry, can you send me back first? I will never ride in your car again.

", Stephen raised his eyebrows, changed his posture,

"You beg me? Well, beg me on your knees, let me see that you are sincere, and I will send you back.

", Sophia bit her lip., Stephen coldly hummed, lift his foot and kicked Sophia out, closed the door and told the driver,

"Drive!

", Rolls-Royce shot out like an arrow., Sophia fell to the ground. Stephen kicked in her lower abdomen, which made her belly in more pain. She held her lower abdomen, ruthlessly pressed it, in order to make it better., Sophia lay on the ground for a moment, gnashed her teeth and stood up., It was midnight and the streets were deserted. Although it was in late spring and early summer, it was still cold in the midnight., Sophia wiped the cold sweat on her forehead because of the pain. She was so sad that she shed tears, hugged herself and stumbled forward step by step on her high heels., 'It's okay. It's okay.', Sophia comforted herself in the heart. She needed to find out the whereabouts of her family. She needed to know the truth about the bankruptcy of the Carter Group. That was what she should care about. The rest, whatever it was, didn't matter. Sophia sniffed, looked at the alley. She had the impression that it would shorten the distance by passing through the alley., Sophia thought for a moment, walked in, but she soon regretted., Someone was drinking in the alley. Looking forward in the dim light, a dozen people could be seen, Seeing them, Sophia turned and walked away, but it was too late.,

"There seems to be a beauty coming!
