Kylan’s face was somber, exuding a chilling aura:
“Sophia, don’t be afraid, dealing with them was only a matter of time.”
Sophia gave a faint smile.
Speaking it out, it seemed not so scary anymore.
She didn’t hide anything about what happened in Mautiland either.
Just didn’t reveal Derick’s true identity.
That was his secret, she couldn’t make it public, turning it into a weapon for others to hurt him.
He saved her life, she would remember forever.
Cecilia sighed from the side:
I always thought Derick was a gentle person, who would treat you well, but now I feel that you two are not suitable.

He liked you, but his approach had major issues.
“But Sophia, without him, you wouldn’t have been able to return, so we should also clearly distinguish between gratitude and grudges.”
Sophia nodded.
They were not suitable for discussing emotions.
Besides this, she would do her best to repay what she could.
Sophia had been recuperating at home for a week.
The body and mood gradually improved.
Brycen and Cecilia no longer revolved around her, they started doing their own things.
Sophia also gradually understood the company’s affairs.
She couldn’t stay at Eagle Entertainment anymore.
The platform was too small to maneuver.
Brycen and Kylan had also been discussing this matter these past few days. ‘

The anniversary dinner of the Cruise Group, originally planned to be cancelled, was held as scheduled three days later.
Not only was it held, but it was also grand, luxurious, and high- profile.
Caused a sensation.
Who wouldn’t save face for Brycen?
Not everyone could get an invitation.
That day.
The entire Walton Hotel was booked out.
Under the dazzling lights, with the scent of perfume and the shadow of hairpins, it was almost a gathering of celebrities and influential figures, a place of fame and fortune.
A while ago, Brycen suddenly shut himself in for unknown reasons and fell into a depression, resulting in hospitalization.
Subsequently, the Cruise Group also had a falling out with the Clement Group.
Although the outcome was hard to determine, everyone knew

that if they continued, the losses of the Cruise Group would inevitably be greater than those of the Clement Group.
Everyone was waiting to see who would fall first.
However, recently Brycen suddenly pulled through. He appeared at the anniversary celebration full of vitality, even more spirited than when he was at his peak.
He and Kylan were greeting the newcomers on the field, and people were coming over to congratulate them.
Cecilia’s identity was no longer a secret, so it was only natural for her to greet guests as Mrs. Cruise.
Cecilia was dressed in a black custom–made off–shoulder long dress, draped in a beige shawl, looking both bright and dignified.
She was always the focal point in the lens, calmly and elegantly greeting the passing ladies of high society.
Ava was seen walking over with Camille, both mother and daughter were meticulously dressed.
However, their appearance and temperament were not outstanding among a group of noble ladies.
Ava couldn’t forget the slap Cecilia had once given her

whenever she looked at her.
If it hadn’t been for Kamden insisting on coming over, she wouldn’t have wanted to come.
Ava reluctantly went over, not even having the chance to put on a friendly facade, when Cecilia took the initiative to approach her. She gently took her hand:
“Mrs. Clement came, truly a rare guest. Haven’t seen her for a few days, she looked younger.”
“Ms. Clement really looked like Mrs. Clement, equally beautiful!”
Ava looked at her with some shock.
Cecilia knew she was wrong, didn’t she? She took the initiative to give herself a way out, right?
With this in mind, Ava had a clear understanding.
She hummed indifferently:
“Mrs. Cruise was too kind, we couldn’t possibly compare ourselves to big stars.”
Cecilia chuckled, “Actually, there’s another piece of good news to announce today. I hope you won’t be too shocked when the

time comes.”

Ava frowned, “What good news?”
A radiant smile twinkled in Cecilia’s eyes, accompanied by a touch of gentle arrogance:
“It was just an anniversary, there was no need to make it so grand.”
“But my daughter has returned and is about to take up a position in the company. This banquet was specifically held for her.”
Ava’s face stiffened.
She had thought about letting Pierce and Cecilia’s daughter be together before.
However, Cecilia was always lukewarm towards her, and she couldn’t be bothered to make an effort when it wasn’t reciprocated.
In addition to Annie’s careful and thoughtful service, which she was quite satisfied with, she temporarily put aside this idea.
Unexpectedly, the dinner tonight was specifically prepared for Ms. Cruise.

Since becoming a daughter–in–law was no longer possible, but Kylan was still single!
A slight thought crossed her mind, and she smiled:
It was good that Mrs. Cruise had come to terms with it. That little jerk had made everyone unhappy a while ago. Now, she still needed to focus on her own daughter.
“You see, ever since Camille returned to the country, she has been by my side all the time, and she hasn’t had a boyfriend. I think Mr. Cruise is quite talented, it would be good to let young people interact more often.”
Cecilia couldn’t help but laugh.
She looked at a shy–faced Camille.
“Ms. Clement, didn’t you quite like Derick? Oh, right, Mr. Woodward has passed away, so it’s okay to replace him now, isn’t it?”
What Cecilia said was very direct.
Camille’s face turned pale in an instant, her lips trembling slightly.

Derick had died…

She was trying to forget things that simply could not truly be in the past.
Ava felt that something was off about Cecilia’s words, but she couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.
Camille’s pursuit of Derick was something she wished the whole world knew about.
She initially thought that Derick was wealthy and affluent, which also indulged and encouraged her not to give up.
Who could have thought that Derick would be so short–lived!
Ava immediately surfaced with a smile to mediate:
“It was nothing, Camille was just grateful to Mr. Woodward for developing a new drug to help her…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Cecilia was whisked away by others who came to exchange pleasantries.
Ava glanced at Camille with a bit of reluctance:
“Be a bit more proactive, Mr. Cruise was much better than that Derick!”

Camille’s eyes were slightly red, and she hung her head, unable to speak.
Pierce exuded a powerful aura, his face stern and cold, with a hint of sharpness and indifference in his eyes.
In such an occasion, he stood there, handsome and upright, exuding an air of refined elegance on the surface, yet subtly restraining his impatience.
There were many people who came over to exchange pleasantries.
He was somewhat puzzled. It was just an anniversary, was there really a need for such extravagance?
Very quickly.
Brycen walked up to the stage, a calm and joyful smile in his eyes and brows.
“Welcome everyone to the annual dinner of the Cruise Group, but this is not the most important thing.”
The reason why everyone was gathered together was actually to announce an important matter.

My daughter has returned, she is about to become the president of the Cruise Group, I hope everyone can take good care of her.
“Sophia, come…”
Brycen waved in a certain direction below.
But this news had already shocked everyone present.
There were all kinds of expressions on everyone’s faces.
Upon hearing Brycen call out that name, Ava’s heart sank instantly.
The light was almost focused on the stage.
Sophia was naturally beautiful, with her slightly curled long hair draped over her shoulders, exuding a serene and ethereal aura.
She was wearing a haute couture white off–the–shoulder long dress, the hem of which, under the flickering light, was like floating water, light in texture, making her look like a delicate flower.
She walked onto the stage with a smile, and the moment she appeared, everyone was shocked.
Who wouldn’t know Pierce’s ex–wife?
