Revenge Of The Billionaire Girl
Chapter 56 Is It You? Drake

"Don't ever think about it! We're reminded not to make any mistake again this time."

"Alas... What a pity!"

They carried Sophia to the boat's edge and dumped her into the sea.

Sophia's body was tied up, so she couldn't move. Even though she could swim, she was in danger indeed.

'I didn't die last time. Will I die here? Dad, Mom, and my dear brothers, I'm sorry. See you all next life...'

Sophia felt she was sinking gradually. Failing to burden the pressure in the sea, she almost fainted, wondering if her life was ending. Suddenly, a man rapidly swam toward her while calling, "Sophia! Sophia!"

'Is that you, Drake?'

She blacked out.

...

When Sophia woke up, she felt someone was helping her breathe. She snapped open her eyes and saw a handsome face.

Widening her eyes, she returned to her senses and pushed him away.

"What are you doing, Drake Riley?"

She had thought it was her illusion, but it turned out she had seen him before losing consciousness for real.

After pushing him away, Sophia found him wet, as if he had also dropped into the sea.

She wondered if Drake had rescued her earlier.

Gazing at her, Drake complained, "Sophia, you are too heartless. I saved your life just now. How can you treat me this way?"

'It turned out to be him who saved me, but...'

"Yes, you saved my life. Who knows if you have something to do with the danger I encountered this time?" she retorted while standing up.

She was wet all over. Earlier, she only wore a white shirt. Now, it clung to her body and showed her lingerie's color.

Sophia decided to run away, but Drake draped his suit jacket on her shoulders.

She stiffened. When they were dating, he always put his jacket or coat on her whenever she felt chilly. Besides, he blamed her for dressing too little.

At that time, Sophia always teased him, "If I didn't put on little clothes, how would I know the benefits of having a boyfriend?"

Then he hugged her tightly and kissed her passionately.

At that time, they clung to each other intimately. They were in deep love.

Sophia returned to her senses and took the jacket off. "I don't need it, Mr. Riley. Your jacket is wet. Do you want me to get a severe cold?"

They had been together long, so she knew why he had done it. She just deliberately refused his kindness.

Drake was so angry that he wrapped her with the jacket tightly. "Put it on! Stop talking nonsense."

"I meant it..."

Before she finished her words, Drake warned her, "Do you want me to kiss you in so many people's presence?"

When he rescued her from the sea, many people gathered and watched them.

Sophia was silent. She knew Drake could do things rashly without hesitation.

"Let's go."

They walked away.

Bard arrived. Seeing Drake hugging Sophia tightly, he seethed with rage.

"Sophia!"

Bard ran toward Sophia and dragged her into his arms. He took off the wet jacket on her shoulder and wrapped her with his dry coat.

As if he had not seen Drake, he immediately pulled Sophia toward the car.

"I happened to find you just now. Damn it! Who had the balls to harm you? I must kill the person."

Their voices trailed off gradually. Standing behind them, Drake stared at his jacket on the ground, a disappointed smile on his lips.

He picked it up and left.

After returning home, Sophia took a hot shower. When she left the bathroom, Bard passed her a bowl of ginger soup.

"Drink it when it's hot. You can't get a cold."

Sophia took it over.

Since she was born, her parents and older brothers doted on her and avoided telling her about the cruel world, only wishing her to lead a happy life. Therefore, she grew up to be a naive girl before. After drinking the ginger tea, Bard rinsed the bowl.

Shortly after, he returned and said to Sophia, "I sent my men to do the investigation. After I find the manipulator, I'm going to kill him or her." Sophia chuckled, "I got it, Bard. You said that twice already."

"I still have lingering anger and fear, Sophia. I can't believe you were almost killed. If it weren't for Drake Riley... By the way, why was he there?" Sophia also felt surprised to see him there.

"Probably, he saw what had happened to me when I was waiting for you, so he followed the criminals." Sophia couldn't figure out another reason. "Humph! Maybe it's his conspiracy. He directed and acted in a show." In Bard's opinion, Drake was a bad guy because he had hurt Sophia once. "Sophia, you cannot forgive him because he saved your life. Probably he had done so after learning it wasn't your fault back then." Sophia giggled, "No worries, Bard. I cannot fall into the same man's trap again."

"That's my good girl. All right, it's too late. Good night, Sophia."

"Good night."

Bard returned to his house. Lying on the bed, Sophia kept wondering without falling asleep immediately.

She was surprised when the danger happened. However, the first person she missed was Drake at this critical moment.

She also hadn't expected Drake to appear for real.

'Do I still love him after three years? So what? We won't be together...'

The following morning, the ringing tone of Sophia's phone woke Sophia up. It was a call from Mia.

"Ms. Lawson, I've checked the matter you asked about. The Lane family did it."

"The Lane family?"

"Yes."

Sophia narrowed her gaze, not feeling surprised. Since she returned to Sealand, she became a threat to the Lane family, which was declining currently. "All right. I got it. Thanks."

Sophie left her bedroom, only to find Bard came to her house with breakfast.

"Have you found who did it?"

"Ehn. The Lane family."

Bard paused. "Emilia Lane's family, right?"

Sophia nodded in confirmation.

"I knew it had something to do with Drake Riley!"

"Bard, let me deal with this matter, please."

"You can do whatever you want, but I'll also take my own action. They bullied you back then, but I wasn't with you so I couldn't do anything. But now, I cannot sit by and watch them bully you without fighting back. No way!"
