Chapter 118: Personal Charm
Lydia’s complexion had already turned somewhat unsightly, she tugged at the corner of her mouth:
“Someone, escort Ms. Clement out.”
“Auntie, if my brother finds out, how can our two families continue to cooperate? You must not sacrifice the major for the minor,
not everyone can afford this project!”
Camille gave Sophia a defiant glance.
A faint smile lingered on Sophia’s lips, devoid of any superfluous expressions, she didn’t even spare a glance this way.
Lydia, however, could no longer maintain her facial expression, not even able to muster a hint of a smile.
“Camille, I’ve brought up the issue with that project many times, have you made any changes to the details?”
“The Clement Group, you didn’t respond at all, I can’t see your sincerity. I’ve already decided to give this project to Eagle
Entertainment. Pierce will find out sooner or later.”
She said, directly calling over her secretary:
“Let her out, and from then on, no one was allowed to come in without an appointment.”
Her tone was harsh, startling Camille instantly.
Camille’s face kept turning from pale to red.

“Auntie...”
The secretary had courteously extended her hand in the past:
“Ms. Clement, this way please.”
Camille bit her lower lip, shot Sophia an angry glance, and turned to leave.

The office quieted down.
Lydia paused for a moment before turning around calmly and speaking with a smile:
“I apologize for any embarrassment, Ms. Cruise, please don’t mind.”
Sophia chuckled, asking in confusion:
“Did you have a familial relationship with the Clement family?”
This was quite unexpected.
Lydia glanced at her, “Kamden and I are technically cousins, just distant ones. We don’t really keep in touch.”
“But the Clement Group’s proposal came before yours, and their planning is very solid, Ms. Cruise. Do you know why I chose
you?”
Sophia slightly furrowed her brows:
“Because of my...personal charm?”
The atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Lydia couldn’t help but laugh, brushing her curly hair:
“Yes, also because you are very creative, someone told me, you are a little genius!”

Sophia frowned, “Who has such good taste?”
Lydia chuckled, “You’ll see. Let’s leave the contract matters as they are for now, and have the lawyer review it next. Then we can

continue our discussion.”
The implication was that their collaboration was pretty much secured.
Sophia smiled happily, reaching out her hand:
“Thank you, Ms. Ayesa, for collaborating with us. You won’t regret it!”
Sophia and Lydia had left only after they had eaten in the company cafeteria.
After spending more time with her, Sophia found that Lydia was actually not arrogant at all and was quite easy to get along with.
Sophia left.
Lydia had received a call from Pierce.
She paused, then picked it up:
“That’s it then, I’ve told your sister everything that needed to be said. There’s no need to discuss cooperation anymore.”
Pierce was silent for a few seconds before he finally spoke in a low
voice:
“Auntie, let’s meet and talk.”
Hung up the phone.
Pierce looked at Camille and the project department head with a grim
expression
The project department director’s face looked extremely upset.

He also didn’t expect that the collaboration he had secured was actually lost!

Camille stood there, feeling wronged, and pouted:
“Bro, it was Sophia who undermined us. She’s really not decent, knowing full well our relationship with our aunt, yet deliberately
sabotaging our cooperation!”
Pierce’s eyes grew cold, his voice deep:
“Why didn’t you follow up and modify the contract details that Ms. Ayesa had provided feedback on?”
Camille hesitated, “I...I thought I would have time to make changes after signing the contract. Besides, she always sends emails,
and I don’t have time to read them. It’s too troublesome...“”
She complained without noticing that the expressions of Pierce and the project director had changed.
The loss of this project was not a loss.
Served right.
Pierce’s expression was extremely cold, his side profile sharp and indifferent like a knife cut. He swept a cold glance at Camille.
“Enough, you don’t need to interfere with this project anymore, you are not allowed to touch any project of the company!”
Camille stiffened slightly, her face changing instantly:
“Why, it wasn’t my fault this time, it was Sophia who took it, why blame me?”

“You still don’t realize your mistake? It’s because you’re simply not as skilled. You can’t even compare to Sophia. Did you really
think that sending over a proposal would solve everything? You’re incredibly foolish!”
His undisguised rebuke caused tears to instantly well up in Camille’s
eyes.
She was not as good as Sophia.
She ran out with her face covered. Why did the whole world think Sophia was better than her?

The project department head stood there, drenched in cold sweat:
“I’m sorry, Mr. Clement, I was too careless about this matter. I will go to apologize to Ms. Ayesa right away, explain the situation,
and see if there’s any chance to make amends!”
Pierce’s tone was cold and his face was covered in frost.
“Are you as stupid as her? Get out–”
The project he had secured was gone, and Pierce was understandably furious.
He didn’t mind competing with Sophia in the mall, but losing in such a foolish way was simply embarrassing!
In the evening.
Sophia called Derick but no one answered.
This was something that had never happened before.
She called Derick’s assistant, Hayden.
The environment Hayden was in seemed quite noisy: “Ms. Cruise?”
“Hayden, I couldn’t get through to Mr. Woodward on the phone. Did something happen?”
Hayden paused, then walked to a quiet place.

“Mr. Woodward was sick, Ms. Cruise, I was abroad handling things for him at the moment, and might not be able to get back for
a while. If it’s convenient for you, could you please go and check on him?”
Sophia was taken aback, he was perfectly fine when they met a few days ago.
These past few days, the flowers had been coming non–stop, she thought Derick was doing well.
“Understood, I would look after him.”
Sophia was feeling a bit down. Derick didn’t have many friends in the country, so when he fell ill, no one knew. It was truly pitiful.
She was just about to say something when she suddenly heard a familiar child’s voice:
“Daddy, has Daddy come back?”
Before she could hear clearly, Hayden had already hung up the phone.
Sophia always felt that the voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had heard it before.
She didn’t pay much attention and went straight to the hotel where Derick was.
He had booked a presidential suite in the hotel. Sophia went to knock on the door, but no one answered.

She sought out the hotel staff and asked them to help open the door.
Sophia rushed in eagerly, suddenly hearing the sound of a child coming from the bedroom:
“Daddy, has Daddy come back?”
She paused for a second, her mind suddenly experiencing a momentary short circuit.
Then, the sound of Derick’s violent coughing was heard.
The hotel staff didn’t think too much, they just didn’t want anything to happen to this big shot, so they immediately went to knock
on the door:

“Mr. Woodward, did you need any help?”
Derick coughed for a while, opened the door, his voice hoarse: “No need.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sophia at the door.
The icy cold in his eyes melted instantly, and he gave a pale smile:
“Was it you?”
Sophia laughed, “I heard you were sick and couldn’t answer the phone, so I came to check on you.”
Derick coughed into his hand for a while before turning his head away:
“Sorry, I just woke up and didn’t hear the phone ring. I was just on the phone with Hayden, he...”
“Daddy, has Daddy come back?”.
