Chapter 196 191: A Mother’s Heart is Linked with Her Child’s
Sophia, with her delicate and warm features, looked at him witth a soft smile playing on her lips.
It was as if she had seen through his inner thoughts in an
instant.
He quickly averted his gaze as if it had been scorched.
The emotions were incredibly complex.
Ava used to hold Sophia’s hand, tears almost falling, pitifully pleading with her:
“Sophia, please, I beg you to save her one more time. For the sake of Pierce, Camille is so young. Can you really bear to watch her die?”
She seemed to have suddenly become a loving mother, forgetting the disputes she had with Sophia.
A flash of unmistakable disgust passed through Sophia’s eyes.
She pulled her hand away, shaking it twice, as if she had
1
touched something dirty.
That was disgusting.
“Stop morally kidnapping me. It’s not my daughter or my sister who died. What does it have to do with me?”
Every word that Sophia coldly spat out from her luscious red lips made Pierce’s face grow increasingly cold and stern.
Ava pointed at her, furious and frustrated:
“How could you say that, turning a blind eye to someone’s death, are you even human?”
Sophia chuckled lightly, rebutting in high spirits:
“Why wouldn’t it be? Even you are a human, I am much more noble than you.”
The surrounding doctors and Kasen didn’t dare to utter a word.
Pierce’s lips were tightly pressed together, his face as cold as ice.
The relationship between Sophia and the Clement family was worse than imagined.

Ava was furious, but upon hearing Pierce’s words, something suddenly occurred to her. Instantly, her temper subsided and she tried to pull Sophia away, crying.
“Last time I saw you at Pierce’s villa, I knew you still loved him. As long as you save Camille, I agree to you two getting back together!”
Pierce looked up, his gaze falling on Sophia’s face.
Sophia smiled calmly, with a hint of sarcasm in her curve.
Remarry? Have I gone mad or have you? Do you think I’m still as foolish as before, crying and begging to marry into your family?
“The wheel of fortune turns, even if you begged me on your knees, I wouldn’t spare you a second glance!”
She didn’t care at all that Pierce was present.
Even if the plan in her heart was not yet completed, she could not suppress the anger in her chest at all.
Pierce looked at Sophia as the words “remarry” were brought
- up.
He hoped to see a different reaction on her face, expecting her to be moved, delighted, or even hesitant…
But there wasn’t.
She had only calmness and sarcasm.
There was also a cold hardness in the depths of his eyes that he didn’t know where it came from.
Ava was infuriated to the point of despair. In front of everyone, she dramatically took a deep breath, and tears immediately streamed down her face:
“Fine, if you insist on me kneeling before you, then I will kneel,
as long as you can save Camille…”
Ava said it, her legs feeling as if they were turning to jelly, about to kneel down before Sophia.
Sophia stood there nonchalantly, unmoved.
She didn’t reach out to help, even if Ava really knelt down, she could bear it.
But the next second.
Pierce reached out and yanked Ava up, his voice cold and hard:
“Enough…”
As soon as he spoke, Ava didn’t dare to make a scene and shout anymore.
Sophia couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Pierce dragged Sophia by the arm and left.
Sophia’s eyes were cold and indifferent, without a shred of mercy, nor did she hide her attitude of kicking someone when they were down.
If it had been before, she might have considered saving Camille.
But now…
Sophia wished she were dead already, so she wouldn’t have to go through the trouble of seeking revenge.
Pierce had taken her outside Camille’s observation room.
Through the glass.
One could clearly see Camille, the girl on the hospital bed, devoid of vitality and riddled with tubes all over her body.
Sophia looked on with calm eyes, her expression indifferent.
Chapter 106 191. A Mothers Heart is Linked with Her Child’s
Pierce’s voice echoed behind her
#
“Sophia, this is a life. Is your celebration more important than life itself?”
A few hours ago, she was still talking to you in the mall. There was a conflict between you two. Even though she is my sister, I still chose to help you.
“For just this one thing, couldn’t you forgive her?”
Sophia blinked, thinking to herself, “This son is just like his mother, both are moral kidnappers!”
Such a strong mother–child bond!
Unfortunately, what she disliked the most was this set.
“No, how much did the mall cost you? I’ll pay you back later. You expect me to be grateful to you for such a small amount of money? No way.”
Thinking to move oneself by giving out small favors, it’s really laughable.
After speaking, Sophia turned to leave this place.
However, Pierce tightly gripped her arm, his voice hoarse:
“Sophia, why was it possible three years ago, but not now?”
“What did you want, you tell me!”
Sophia suddenly looked up, her eyes coldly staring at him. Her features were stern, her aura strong and noble, exuding an indescribable deep and cold hardness.
He was also restraining his own emotions.
Sophia’s voice was extremely indifferent:
Because three years ago, I loved you, willing to give my life for
you.
“Well, back then…”
She just wanted to toy with him, to seek revenge.
Pierce’s dark eyes stiffened for a moment, deep as ice, looking at her, his voice hoarse and dry:
“And now?”
Don’t you love anymore?
12.09.
Why hadn’t he felt that burning love of life and death?
He had felt her elusive closeness and distance.
This emotion stirred fluctuations in his mood.
Sophia remained silent, offering no response. She simply pulled her arm away quietly, looking at him with a cold expression.
“Pierce, you don’t have to morally kidnap me like your mother did. Whether Camille lives or dies, it has nothing to do with me. I won’t soften because of your sympathy.”
Three years ago, what she wanted was him.
Three years later, she didn’t really want anything anymore.
Letting her waste her life on unworthy people, repaying malice with kindness, was never her style.
An eye for an eye, that’s satisfying.
Sophia said, lifting her foot to leave.
Behind him, Pierce chuckled softly:
“Codepath Tech project is no longer wanted? What if I trade you
12:09
the Codepath Tech project?”
Sophia could bear it no longer. She turned around, gritting her teeth and glaring at him, her eyes swirling with intense
emotions.
“Did you think I cared about that measly amount of money?”
Did the Cruise family lack that amount of money?
Don’t talk about tens of billions, even if it’s hundreds of billions, or tho or thousands of billions, I wouldn’t care.
“Pierce, what good does it do you to threaten me, to push me to death?”
She spoke each word and sentence like a stone thrown onto the surface of a lake, heavy and with a strong lingering effect.
A fierce jolt struck Pierce’s heart.
For some unknown reason, there was an indescribable suffocation and sharp pain in my chest.
After Sophia finished speaking, she turned around and left.
The silhouette was firm yet cold, as if it could shatter and disappear from sight in the next second.
A strange heaviness swept across Pierce’s chest.
Suddenly swept by a moment of disorientation and panic.
It seemed as if something important was about to be lost.
However, he couldn’t catch up. Ava ran over excitedly, cursing in indignation:
“This despicable person, thinking they’ve turned from a nobody into a phoenix, dared to treat us like this.”
Even if she cried and begged to remarry, we still wouldn’t agree!
“Pah, who cares about this kind? Really thinks highly of oneself, huh?”
Pierce’s face was gloomy, his eyes dark and turbulent, suppressing his emotions.
