Chapter 169 164: Couldn’t Remember
How could Pierce’s ex–wife have suddenly transformed into the heiress of the Cruise Group?
Everyone looked at this scene in astonishment.
Brycen, on the other hand, quite naturally announced and introduced. Sophia’s identity to everyone:
Sophia was an independent person, she never liked to rely on her family to get things done, and we could only follow her lead.
“However, I was planning a trip with my wife recently, so after much persuasion, she finally agreed to return to the group. I believe my daughter won’t let me down,”
He looked at Sophia gently, his eyes and brows full of trust and pride.
Sophia chuckled, raising her eyebrows, her eyes lively and vibrant.
Cecilia also went up gracefully and gently, saying a few words asking everyone to take more care.

Between the lines, it was nothing more than love and concern for his own daughter.
However, when she stood next to Sophia, everyone suddenly realized that these two people looked too much alike.
Cecilia was just so well–preserved, no one ever suspected they could be mother and daughter!
In the aftermath of their shock, everyone quickly accepted this
fact.
It was nothing more than the story of the Cruise Group’s heiress going incognito and venturing out on her own, then returning to inherit the family business.
After sighing, there was more of a subtle admiration.
After all, Sophia’s most notable identity used to be Pierce’s ex- wife.
But back then, this identity seemed more like a stain on her.
The identity of being the heiress of the Cruise Group could simply overshadow all past darkness.
The Cruise family had spoken.

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the crowd in the
venue.
Kylan went up for a group photo, but he just stood on one side of Cecilia.
The couple surrounded Sophia in the middle, Kylan’s face was full of smiles, without a hint of strangeness. Sophia’s status was simply beyond words.
This scene, in the eyes of some people, was like a bolt from the blue.
Ava stood there, pale–faced, staring intently at the person above.
Even breathing became urgent.
Sophia was actually Cecilia’s daughter?
The woman who had once humbly served under her for three years in order to marry Pierce, they all thought she came from a humble background, which was why she swallowed her pride.
For this reason, the Clement family didn’t even bother to inquire about Sophia’s maiden family.
After all, things that were given away for free were not valuable.

But she was actually the heiress of the Cruise Group, hiding her identity?
Ava’s heart was about to jump out.
She felt completely bewildered.
She once eagerly wanted to propose to Cecilia, Cecilia must have mocked her in her heart for being blind!
No wonder Cecilia had such a big reaction when she heard the news of Sophia falling into the sea back then!
Even slapped himself!
At that time, they never thought there would be such a relationship!
The surrounding glances, both present and absent, fell upon her, mocking, watching the spectacle…
She drove Sophia away and chose Annie, who came from an ordinary background. Could she not be ridiculed?
Ava was tense all over, clenching her teeth, shaking with anger.
And Camille’s face turned even more unpleasant.

She watched as the very real Sophia appeared before her, not a hint of joy on her face, but rather, it was filled with fear.
After all, it was she who had personally let go of the rope…
Camille was trembling all over, and while no one was paying attention, she quietly left the banquet hall.
But before the person could leave, he bumped into someone.
The pallor of her face was such that it couldn’t help but arouse suspicion.
“What were you running for?”
The man’s voice was hoarse, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
The person who came was Pierce, who had just returned from Mautiland by plane.
At the Cruise Group’s dinner, if he didn’t show up, it would spark many rumors of discord.
Although there was overt and covert competition in the mall, it was acceptable on the surface.
Upon seeing Pierce, Camille’s fear did not lessen in the

slightest.
She casually recited an excuse:
“I wasn’t feeling well, so I had to go back first.”
Pierce furrowed his brow, “Have the driver take you.”
He said, and with a step, he was off to the banquet hall.
It was extraordinarily lively inside
However, as soon as he appeared, the noise in the venue seemed to gradually quiet down.
Pierce watched Sophia, who was sandwiched between Brycen and Cecilia, being surrounded and chatted up by people, his eyes slightly deepening.
The corners of his lips flattened, he stood there, tall and handsome, with thick eyebrows and black pupils as sharp as a knife and as dark as ink, showing no discernible emotion.
For Sophia, from the moment he saw her in Mautiland, he felt that there must have been a connection between them in the
past.
However, he had no memory or clue whatsoever.

Afterwards.
He could only glean a piece of information from Ava’s few words.
“Sophia was his ex–wife who had blackmailed him into marrying her by offering to donate bone marrow to him.”
Ex–wife…
This identity gave him a moment of surprise, but he also didn’t ignore the fleeting melancholy that swept across the bottom of
his heart.
No wonder when they met, Sophia’s attitude towards him was far from friendly.
This magnificent arena of fame and fortune before my eyes.
He seemed to become the focus of everyone.
A moment of displeasure flashed through Pierce’s heart.
There was a certain clarity and sharpness hidden in his eyes.
He was puzzled, how could his ex–wife be so close to the Cruise family?

However, his good mental quality would not allow him to lose his composure at that time.
Ava left her order here.
Even though no one came up to criticize her, she couldn’t help but speculate how others might mock her in her heart.
Seeing Pierce arrive, she didn’t want to stay any longer. She turned around, walked over, and pulled Pierce, indicating she wanted to leave.
C
“Pierce, let’s go first!”
She didn’t want Pierce to know about Sophia’s past with him
even more.
Pierce, however, stood there motionless, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, his face calm and composed.
He watched as Brycen and Cecilia approached, and the stunningly beautiful Sophia, his heart skipped a beat.
“Mr. Clement has arrived, Mrs. Clement, don’t rush to leave. Stay a while longer and have a few more drinks.”
Brycen spoke with a laugh, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

Didn’t care about the overt and covert struggles during this period at all.
Pierce’s eyebrows slightly raised:
“Haven’t congratulated Mr. Cruise yet, the Cruise Group’s celebration was very successful.”
Brycen chuckled, seemingly unconcerned, and instead patted Sophia’s hand:
“Thank you, Mr. Clement, for your presence. Today is indeed a day worth celebrating. From now on, my daughter will be taking over as the president of the company. It’s inevitable that we’ll have to deal with each other. I believe Mr. Clement will be able to separate business from personal matters.”
Pierce glanced at Sophia, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.
Daughter…
Sophia was actually Brycen’s daughter?
He looked at Ava.
Ava also had her own unspoken troubles. If she had known Sophia’s identity earlier, how could she have treated her that way?

The Cruise Group and the Clement Group had joined in matrimony, with Sophia deeply in love with Pierce. This was simply a perfect match of powerful alliances!
It was all Sophia’s fault for deceiving them in the first place!
Cecilia couldn’t help but laugh out loud on the side:
“Mr. Clement was staring at Sophia as if he didn’t know her.”
“I had already told Sophia, I’ve been divorced and even died once, I need to live well in the future. There are many opportunities to cross paths in the business world, let’s just be friends.”
Pierce gave Sophia a deep look.
Died once…
This remark sounded harsh.
A pang in his heart made him strain his emotions intensely.
A cold and distant smile hung on her face, a smile that didn’t reach her eyes.
Brought out a few strands of melancholy from the bottom of his

His expression involuntarily darkened, his voice hoarse:
“I don’t remember, Ms. Cruise.”
