Chapter 86
Pierce hung up the phone, his face a cold, stern mask, and stood up.
“Call over the person who was taking care of Luke.”
“Yes,” Kasen responded immediately.
Very quickly.
The servant was brought forward, somewhat nervous.
“Mr. Clement……
“Was Luke the one you were always carrying with you?”
Pierce’s tone was icy.
The servant’s face was panicked, his voice trembling in fits and starts:
“Yes…”
Pierce watched her reaction, squinted his eyes, and a sudden chill brewed
on his face.

The nearby Kasen couldn’t help but speak out in rebuke:
“To be honest, you dare to hide something when Mr. Clement questioned. you?”
The servant trembled slightly, hesitated for a few seconds, and couldn’t help but spill everything out:
“I didn’t want to. Ms. Wilson warned me not to tell you.”
During this period, Ms. Wilson often had me bring Luke over, which was actually just to keep Luke locked in a room, while everyone else took care of Joshua.
“Luke was too small, always scared and crying. Every time he cried, Ms. Wilson would…”
The servant hesitated, somewhat fearful.
“So what?” Kasen challenged her.
“Ms. Wilson used to scold him, occasionally even hit him, and wouldn’t let him eat. We were helpless…”
The servant hung his head, trembling with fear, and spoke in a low voice
“Perhaps it was because Joshua couldn’t speak, Ms. Wilson was upset bu didn’t want to vent her anger on her own son, so she took it out on young

Master Luke…”
Who could have thought that such a glamorous woman would be so harsh. on a child!
The office was dead silent.
Pierce’s face was extremely unsightly, his expression was cold and stern, and the atmospheric pressure around him seemed to have dropped a few degrees.
He abruptly picked up the six–figure ornament from the table and fiercely threw it on the ground. The veins on his arm bulged slightly, his whole body tense.
The servant dared not speak again.
Pierce’s voice was low, cold, and gloomy, making people unconsciously feel a chill.
“Go send Luke away, no one needs to speak.”
He knew that if Luke continued to stay by Emelia’s side, he would be ruined.
Kasen nodded, “I’ll arrange it.”
Pierce looked at the servant:

Chapter 86
“What happened at the hospital at noon?”
The servant dared not procrastinate or conceal any longer, and told everything as it was.
Emelia was arrogant and domineering, she disrespected everyone. She would curse as soon as she opened her mouth and hit at the slightest provocation, she even didn’t spare a child.
Such Emelia, in front of Pierce on ordinary days, was gentle as water, considerate and submissive.
They were simply like two different people!
Pierce suppressed the intense fluctuations of emotions in his chest and took a deep breath:
“Get out.”
He seemed to have some awareness that everything was not quite right after Emelia returned to her country.
Because of this woman, he lost his wife and children.
If it wasn’t for Darion….
His throat hitched, as if a surge of blood was rising, and he tasted a hint

of sweet metallic flavor.
It was also solely for Darion.
He picked up the phone and called Chad.
“Were you free? Come out for a drink!”
Chad glanced at the already hung–up phone, somewhat puzzled:
“Why were you drinking alcohol in broad daylight?”
However, he still called a large group of people to keep Pierce company and cheer him up.
The box was very lively.
Some people even found a few girls to be around them, who were either new models just entering the industry, or young actresses just starting their social life.
They were extremely eager to curry favor, so they acted particularly proactive.
The one next to Pierce was the most beautiful, and vaguely resembled Sophia.
Didn’t know if someone did it on purpose.
But he didn’t even glance at it, sitting in the dimly lit booth, his whole demeanor gloomy and cold, constantly drinking.
In the afternoon, he heard her voice, it was like a hook that dredged up the deepest longing from within him.
Unable to hold back any longer, the surging emotions overwhelmed him, seemingly about to drown him.
But she only mentioned Emelia abusing Luke.
She even pitied Luke, why couldn’t she pity him?
He missed her and wanted her to return to his side.
He would definitely be good to her.
But why didn’t she believe anymore?
He downed a shot of strong liquor, not tasting any particular flavor.
The person next to him wanted to stop him:
“What’s wrong with Pierce, drowning his sorrows in alcohol?”
“Slow down, what’s the point of drinking alone? Sophie, pour some wine for Mr. Clement quickly!”

Chapter 86
Someone instructed the female model next to Pierce.
The female model was curvy and attractive, but I didn’t get a chance earlier.
Upon hearing this, he immediately half–knelt and poured a glass of wine for Pierce.
Then her eyes, gleaming with moisture, seemed to speak, and her shy, timid hands were extended.
Pierce squinted, seeming somewhat taken aback when he saw her face.
He saw Sophia.
Sophie?
Was it her?
His slightly tipsy demeanor was tinged with a hint of sharpness. He reached out and grabbed the woman’s wrist, his tone heavy:
“Is that you, Sophia?”
The woman excitedly lifted her face, her voice so sticky that it seemed as if it could stretch out:

“Mr. Clement, it’s me. How about trying my cup?”
As soon as the words were spoken.
Pierce fiercely pushed the person away.

The woman let out a scream, fell to the ground, and the wine in the glass spilled all over her.
Pierce leaned back in the booth with distaste, propping his forehead with his fist, his brows furrowed in gloom, his voice low and harsh:
“It wasn’t her, she wouldn’t have spoken to me so gently a long time ago, get out-”
Everyone was slightly startled.
Chad heard the noise and hurried over from his position.
He waved his hand, signaling the woman to leave the box.
The woman was somewhat unwilling, yet she dared not resist.
Chad was sitting on the side:
“Bro, you weren’t intentionally trying to get drunk, were you?”

Pierce sat there indifferently, continuing to pour himself a drink.
Chad held his wine glass:
“You had drunk too much, don’t drink anymore.”
Pierce brushed off his hand nonchalantly.
Another person couldn’t stand it anymore and couldn’t help but ask:
“Was this heartbreak, Mr. Clement?”
“He had never struggled like this even with the most difficult projects. Who is this, that Ms. Wilson who is kept outside?”
Chad shot him a fierce glance:
“Of course not, it was sister–in–law, it was Sophia!”
“Sophia, didn’t Mr. Clement dislike his ex–wife?”
“She got married and then went abroad right away. She hardly came back a few times a year, and she mostly stayed in hotels. If it weren’t for the ‘grand‘ news of her divorce, who would know she was Mrs. Clement!”
“Exactly, Mr. Clement never mentioned her before, what happened now?”
Chapter 86
Chad reluctantly took out his phone, found Sophia’s number, and called her.
After a long time, someone finally picked up.
In order to make sure Pierce could hear clearly, Chad quickly turned on the loudspeaker, performing with both enthusiasm and urgency:
“Sophia, Pierce got drunk and started spilling his guts. He kept calling your name, saying things like he’s sorry, he misses you, loves you, and likes you.”
“Could you come over and take him away? It’s inconvenient for me to take care of him!”
Everyone watched this scene in shock, not even realizing when the music had stopped.
Pierce’s eyes had opened at some point, becoming somewhat clear, yet somewhat anxious.
His breathing also became tense…
