The receptionist was so shocked that her eyes widened upon hearing this. She held back from rolling her eyes, but she was already speechless.
Sophia raised an eyebrow, remaining fairly composed. She gave her a perfunctory glance and let out a soft sigh:
“Camille, if you liked him, you should have pursued him. No one was stopping you.”
In other words, it was useless for her to come and cause trouble for
herself.
After all, it wasn’t Sophia who was eagerly chasing after Derick.
There were bodyguards guarding outside the exclusive elevator, she couldn’t get in.
Camille stomped her foot in frustration, only able to watch as Sophia entered the elevator and went up.
She called Pierce with a sense of grievance, sobbing:
“Bro, did Derick like your wife? What should we do, could you please not let your wife get too close to him…”

Pierce had always been affectionate towards his sick sister.
Knowing that she actually liked Derick was also quite unbelievable.
But on the other hand, think about it.
If Derick was with his own sister, wouldn’t Sophia have given up?
Pierce was carefully soothing Camille:
“They were just ordinary friends. Besides, it was useless to blame Sophia. It was all Derick who took the initiative to seduce her. The problem lay
with Derick.”
Camille fell silent for a moment, “Then I’ll go find him!”
Before Pierce could finish, Camille had already hung up the phone.
Sophia handed the business card that Derick had given her to Aylen, insisting that he personally deliver it to the Clement Group.
She couldn’t make decisions for the Clement family, but she couldn’t keep quiet about things that were beneficial to Grandpa Zhou and Grandma.
Pierce naturally knew how to choose, and Sophia wouldn’t say anything.
Aylen left.

Sophia suddenly remembered the thing she had heard in the coffee shop
carlier.
Like a puzzle, she felt a jumbled mess, unable to find any coherent thoughts.
Car accident…
Sophia had a vague feeling that something was not right, an indescribable
sensation.
The next day.
Sandra called.
“Sophia, that female student Nolan was taking care of, went to great lengths to find me, saying she wanted to see me. What do you think was on her mind?”
Sophia was doing yoga at home, stretching her body, and she spoke softly:
“Either they wanted to demonstrate power, or they wanted to show weakness, what else could there be?”
Sandra clicked her tongue and chuckled lightly:
“I had nothing to do with Nolan. Why didn’t she go to Nolan if she felt

Chapter 50
such a sense of crisis?”
Sophia’s eyes flickered slightly, as if she had thought of something:
“You’d better stay away from her, this woman is not that simple.”
“I’m not stupid, who does she think she is, that I have to agree if she wants to see me? I just find it ridiculous, how do young girls nowadays like this kind of thing?”
Sophia, hearing the impatience in Sandra’s tone, knew that she no longer had a good impression of Nolan and this Pamela.
“Don’t get involved with the Morrison family’s affairs. They were barely holding on themselves, don’t let them drag you down.”
Sophia gave a reminder.
The Morrison family’s recent situation was indeed not going very
well.
Since the last time I encountered Nolan ranting in the hospital, I heard about the financial chain breaking the next day.
She didn’t think Pierce was standing up for her, after all, he was much nicer to his brother Nolan than to her.
Perhaps the interests of both parties had reached a deadlock?

She finished tidying up and went to the company.
The receptionist pointed to the woman who was waiting in the rest area:
“Ms. Cruise, this lady said she knows you and has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Upon looking, Sophia surprisingly found out it was Pamela.
She squinted her eyes, pursed her lips, and spoke without any hesitation:
“I didn’t recognize, didn’t see.
“Understood, Ms. Cruise.”
Pamela probably came to see her at this time for the secret they had talked about in the coffee shop before.
Sophia visited Bianca a few days later, and she was in luck this time, as Bianca happened to be awake.
The doctor allowed her to go in for a few minutes, but she was not to disturb or upset her.
She sat there, excited yet cautious, with a slight sting in her eyes.
Thinking of the scene of the car accident, her heart felt as if it was being tightly squeezed, causing her discomfort and suffocation.

But the perpetrator had fallen from the building.
They didn’t even know if it was intentional or unintentional.
“Grandma…”
She was shouting softly.
no at
Bianca’s cloudy eyes gradually focused, Sophia, she reached out and touched her hair.
Just this one action, had already used up all the strength.
She gave a small laugh, seemingly trying to comfort Sophia, but the expression on her face gradually relaxed, the light in her pupils slowly dimmed, and she slowly closed her eyes.
She fell into a coma again.
Sophia hung her head in distress, her shoulders trembling slightly. She really wanted to cry.
But the next second.
A large hand fell on her shoulder, brushing past like a feather. The familiar yet strange scent of warm, quiet, cold cedar enveloped her.
Chapter 90
She abruptly stood up, looking at the suddenly appeared Pierce.
He was wearing a tailored, slim–fit black shirt, looking sharp and noble. He stood perfectly in the backlight, as if enveloped by a halo, shining all over as if sprinkled with a handful of tiny diamonds, dazzling and precious.
For a moment, she was dazed, and the man who suddenly appeared before her eyes overlapped with the unattainable man she first met three years
ago.
Sophia’s eyes were still glistening and slightly red, giving off a sense of pitiful fragility. She rarely showed her vulnerability.
In fact, whether it was tough and bright, or soft and pitiful, Sophia’s beauty and temperament were stunning.
Pierce withdrew his hand, his gaze dark and profound, his voice low:
“Don’t cry, I’ve already contacted the lab in Mautiland, and we’ll send your grandparents over next month.”
Sophia was taken aback, seemingly surprised that he could accept her suggestion so easily.
A trace of bitterness crossed Pierce’s brow, yet he still spoke in a calm and
warm tone:
“For their benefit, there was no reason to refuse.”

The doctor outside knocked and entered, speaking softly:
“Mr. Clement, Ms. Cruise, you could come out now.”
Sophia averted her gaze, regained her usual cold demeanor, and walked
out.
Pierce looked on with dark eyes, his gaze fixed behind her.
Sophia stood outside the glass wall, speaking softly:
“That business card was given by a friend, you should investigate thoroughly before making a decision, after all, this is not a trivial matter
Pierce pursed his lips, not dwelling on the issue, and began to speak in a low voice:
“Why didn’t you go back to stay these past few days?”
He had moved a long time ago and never once “bumped into” her.
He suspected that she was deliberately avoiding him.
A sense of melancholy inevitably settled in Pierce’s chest.
He had already taken the initiative to give her a way out, why wouldn’t she take it?
Chapter 90
Sophia frowned, “This is my freedom.”
She said, and turned around to leave.
Pierce frowned, just about to leave, when the doctor called him back.
Sophia went downstairs and saw Pamela at the door.
Pamela looked even worse than the last time.
She walked over, biting her lip:
“Ms. Cruise, I tried to reach you through many channels, but you avoided me. I had no choice but to follow you.”
Sophia’s face was cold and indifferent:
“I wasn’t familiar with you, there wasn’t much to talk about.”
“I asked you for a favor, didn’t you also want to deal with Emelia? I had her weakness in my hands, if you helped me with something, I could give you her weakness.”
Pamela had known in advance when she was negotiating, she learned from Nolan that Sophia and Emelia had a long–standing grudge.
Given the opportunity to deal with her, it made no sense for Sophia not to
Chapter 90
agree.
Pamela nervously watched her. Sophia’s features were delicate, her every frown and smile naturally relaxed. Her temperament was cool and outstanding, she could be bright and bold, but also enchanting to all.
How could such a person have lost to Emelia?
“Steal Emelia’s child for me!”
