Chapter 70
Kylan didn’t show any good face to this Pierce, he snorted coldly:
“They were truly a match made in heaven. If it weren’t for him saving Sophia this time, I would have settled the score with him a long time ago!”
Pierce had bullied Sophia so much over the past three years that it had worn her down to the bone. How could Kylan not be angry?
Sophia’s face faltered slightly.
The previous entanglements and struggles seemed to have become a joke.
In front of Emelia, she was always the one never chosen.
Emelia’s biological child had been found, he would only be better to them, mother and child.
A sense of relief suddenly filled her heart, as if she had lifted a huge stone off her chest.
He had repaid what he owed her, they had no further involvement with each other.

Chapter 70
Kylan had a lot of company matters to deal with, one phone call after another.
He stepped out to take a call, while Derick sat nearby, watching her with an inscrutable expression.
Sophia felt somewhat uncomfortable under his gaze.
“Mr. Woodward……
“I found out some things, and I’m not sure if I should tell you.”
“What happened?”
Derick paused for a second, took out his phone, and found two photos:
“This was the first surveillance video screenshot I had someone save. This waiter was the one who led you to the private room, right?”
Sophia saw the person above, her expression faltered, she nodded.
That feeling of suffocation suddenly surged up, and the heart abruptly tightened.
Her face turned a few shades paler, then she abruptly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forcefully suppressed the discomfort.
Darick mulled out the second photo, his tone somewhat cold:

“I discovered from the surveillance of the shop next door that the window behind the booth had never been opened, let alone anything thrown into
it.”
“Before you went in, only this woman had gone in. I suspect she deliberately started the fire.”
Sophia’s lips were slightly pale. After experiencing life and death, the pain deep in her bones was truly bone–deep.
“I didn’t know her, who on earth was she?”
Derick pulled out another photo, it was a candid shot taken by the media at the airport, featuring Molly who was not yet universally criticized.
And that waitress, she was the assistant who followed Molly around
Sophia’s heart sank in an instant, her anger was provoked:
“Molly’s people!”
Derick shook his head, his expression inexplicably somewhat cold and melancholic:
It wasn’t her, Molly had already been forced by Mrs. Capra to flee the country, and all her money had been used to compensate the endorsers. Her financial situation was not good.
Chapter 30
“But three days ago, there was an extra sum of money in this waiter’s account, a sum that Molly couldn’t afford.”
Deep down, Sophia had an answer that was on the tip of her tongue.
Derick had uttered the name with indifference:
“It was orchestrated by Emelia.”
Indeed, she hadn’t guessed wrong.
Emelia was such a pretender. She had harmed her own child in the past, and now she wanted to put herself in mortal danger!
She slowly clenched her fists, her entire body stiffening.
Wouldn’t it be too pathetic if she still remained indifferent?
Previously, I thought there would be plenty of opportunities to deal with her, but Emelia had already taken action impatiently.
She couldn’t wait any longer.
Derick pursed his lips, looking at her with a gloomy gaze:
“If you wanted to hand over the evidence to the police, I could also help you.”

“Huh, wouldn’t handing her over to the police be letting her off easy?”
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth, a trace of coldness flashing in
her eyes.
Derick coughed, hesitatingly said:
“I was worried that if Mr. Clement found out about this, he would protect Emelia, and then there would be no one to protect you.”
No one was protecting you anymore.
Pierce had never been on her side.
But she didn’t need to either.
She looked at him with calm, serene eyes.
“Don’t speak of this matter, I will resolve it as soon as possible.”
“Did I help you?”
“No need.”
Derick pursed his lips, about to say something, when he heard the voice of another person at the door.

Pierce pushed the door open, seeing Derick here, his face instantly darkened.
“Were you still here?”
Derick sat there with his hands folded, his emotions calm and indifferent.
“Mr. Clement could come, couldn’t I?”
Pierce also had marks of being hit on his face.
Sophia slightly furrowed her brows, understanding in her heart that it was these two who had started fighting.
She pretended not to see and shifted her gaze, looking at Derick and said:
rest, you’ve worked hard these past few “Mr. Woodward, go back a days. Thank you for telling me all this.”
Derick must have put a lot of effort into finding so much information in such a short time.
Derick nodded with a smile, his aura noble and indifferent. He then
pulled the blanket for her and spoke in a low voice:
“Then you rest well, I’ll come to see you again later.”
Chapter 70
When Derick left, he gave Pierce a cold glance.
The corner of the mouth curved into a smile.
Pierce was originally very angry when he saw him, but ever since Sophia saw him, she had told Derick to get lost. Pierce’s mood instantly
improved.
Look, she was so moved by him that she must be full of sweet words she wanted to tell him.
Pierce walked in, a hint of softness on his stern face, watching her as his expression softened:
“Speak your mind, there’s no one else here now. I know you still hold a grudge.”
But after this incident, you should have realized that I am the one you can rely on in critical moments. The substitute has long since run off to hide somewhere.
“He had the audacity to take credit now, he’s really not a good person. Stay away from him in the future.”
Sophia tilted her head slightly upwards, her bare face towards the sky, yet it couldn’t hide her delicate and bright features. Her eyes were dark and glossy, expressionless when she looked at him.

She curled her lips and laughed:
“I truly appreciated that you saved me…‘
Pierce’s expression relaxed, interrupting her with a laugh:
“Alright, I’ll take it from here, after all, I am a man.”
I knew you were deeply moved, wishing to devote yourself and become Mrs. Clement again, planning to properly manage our marriage,
I told you, I promised you, we
I promised you, we could start over, as if nothing had ever happened before, let’s not mention the past anymore.
He had arranged everything and also gave her enough respect and room to step down.
Why wouldn’t she have agreed?
They were, after all, husband and wife. He would compensate her for everything he had owed her over the past three years,
Finished speaking.
He was waiting for her to nod.
Sophia just quietly watched him, not saying a word.

Pierce’s expression gradually began to change, he frowned at her, his tone also very serious:
“Sophia, this is the step I’m giving you, let’s get back together, I will give you everything you want.”
The corners of Sophia’s lips slowly curled up, her face devoid of the surprise and emotion he had imagined.
Instead, it was excessively calm.
A sinking feeling settled in his chest, as if he had a bad premonition.
Sophia looked at him with a clear and cold gaze, her tone devoid of much fluctuation:
“How could what has already happened be treated as if it never occurred? Self–deception is not a good habit.”
His eyes darkened slightly.
Sophia took a deep breath, glanced out the window, and slowly began to speak:
“You owed me a life, now it’s paid off, we owe each other nothing.”
“Pierce, I forgave you for abandoning our
