Chapter 88
Pierce stood there, clutching his stomach, his complexion somewhat pale, his tall and upright figure somewhat fragile.
Seemed to be enduring his own discomfort.
Sophia furrowed her brow, not quite believing his words.
However, his condition was indeed terrible. He reeked of alcohol, his face was pale, and his eyes were as black as ink, which was somewhat pitiful.
He had already walked over and sat down on the sofa, very well–behaved, not running or looking around aimlessly.
He just slightly tilted his head to look at her, like a homeless little animal.
Sophia remembered being saved by him from Colin’s hands.
Throwing them out like this, it didn’t seem quite right.
Since you were divorced, you should be open and honest about it, there’s no need to avoid it.
The circle was so small, there would be plenty of intersections in the
future.
Chapter 84
She always had to face this day.
She took a deep breath and took out the porridge from the thermal box.
The porridge that Kylan delivered was the signature dish of the private kitchen, both fragrant and rich.
Pierce had a big appetite, perhaps he was really not feeling well, he drank all the porridge in one breath.
Then he clutched his stomach and didn’t move.
Being able to have a meal with her was really not easy.
So he wanted to drag out the time a bit longer.
“Thank you, it was really delicious. I’m sorry, I didn’t leave any for you. Have you eaten?”
Sophia, still hungry, faintly tugged at the corner of her mouth:
“Ate…”
Regretted my own kindness!
She wished that the jerk would get lost immediately.
Chapter 88
Pierce paused, stood up, intending to go to the kitchen.
“If you were hungry, I would make you something to cat!”
Cooking a meal took a long time!
He could stay a bit longer.
Sophia pursed her lips, her tone cold and indifferent:
“No need, I wasn’t hungry, you could go.”

Pierce’s body stiffened slightly, then he suddenly stumbled and fell onto the sofa, motionless.
Sophia paused for a moment, then walked over:
“You weren’t planning on pretending to faint, were you? That would be no fun at all!”
Pierce’s face was ashen, clutching his stomach area, with large beads of sweat on his forehead.
Perhaps it wasn’t pretend?
Sophia paused for a moment, then picked up the phone.

“It was me, I gave you a minute, to roll down from upstairs, to take the person away.”
Chad, who had been lying in bed, abruptly got up.
Glancing at the phone, was this really Sophia’s voice?
Taken away?
Who to take with?
He went downstairs in confusion.
Looking at the open door downstairs, Sophia was standing at the entrance, somewhat impatient.
“Sophia, did you live here?”
He actually didn’t know at all!
Sophia responded faintly, then opened the door:
“Take Pierce away.”
The house was under Kylan’s name. On her first day living there, Kylan had already investigated and clarified the information of the surrounding residents for her.
Chapter 88
So she had known all along that Chad was here.
Now Chad was even more shocked.
Didn’t Pierce leave?
However, he quickly realized that he certainly couldn’t hold his brother back!
He waved his hands repeatedly, “No, no, no, I can’t carry him. Let him stay here for the night!”
Sophia chuckled lightly, speaking up directly:
“Master Si, I ran into your mother a few days ago. She wanted to know where you are living now. Should I tell her…”
Chad’s face stiffened.
This was already the fourth house he had moved into, his mother’s care
for him had reached the point of ignoring his need for privacy.
He took a deep breath and walked in with an embarrassed smile:
“I can carry it, I can carry it.”
He silently apologized to Pierce in his heart.
Chapter
You must forgive him this time!

He walked over, about to lift Pierce’s arm, but the weight of his arm was heavy, as if there was a force deliberately pressing down.
He winced in pain.
Sophia was still waiting at the door for them to leave.
He gritted his teeth, planning to confront Pierce head–on. Although he wasn’t as strong, he managed to drag himself to Sophia’s front door.
Pierce leaned heavily to the side, and Chad could only let go of his hand.
But the next second.
Sophia shut the door directly, leaving them locked outside.
Pierce slowly opened his pitch–black eyes.
He locked eyes with Chad for a few seconds, and Chad could feel his surging anger, wishing he could strangle him to death.
His guilty explanation:
“Sister Sophia, she threatened me…
Chapter 88
But Sophia really kept her cards close to her chest!
He looked at her with new respect once again in his heart!
Pierce slowly straightened his clothes, snorted coldly without saying a word, and turned around with an air of coldness to get on the elevator.
Chad couldn’t help but chase after:
“Bro, the car was waiting outside…”
He knew, he had ruined Pierce’s good thing and had terribly offended
him!
The next morning.
Kasen had arrived at the entrance of Chad’s neighborhood, holding the materials.
Chad saw him in the car and happily waved his hand:
“Kasen assistant, what are you here for, did my brother sleep well last night?”
Actually, I mainly wanted to ask if he had calmed down yet!
Kasen stepped forward with a smile, handing over a check and a key:
09:175
Chapter 63
“This was what Mr. Clement instructed me to give you.”
Chad was confused, sugar-coated shells?
“My brother was too polite…”
Upon checking the cheque, it was twenty million.
That other key seemed to be an exclusive key for some upscale villa area.
What Mr. Woodward meant was, you took the money and should move out immediately, move out today, because he is moving in to your place.
Chad: “….
Sure enough, there’s no such thing as a pie falling from the sky.
Sophia went to the company early in the morning.
Thinking about the incident from last night, I was very upset because I didn’t get a good sleep.
She called home:
“I had to go home and stay for a while during that period.”
In the afternoon, the weather was somewhat hot.
Chapter 88
Sophia and Derick came back from the film set and just happened to go for coffee together.
Derick had booked a semi–private booth in advance, with a delicate small screen standing there, providing just the right amount of coverage.
Derick was in a relaxed and easy–going state, looking at her with gentle eyes and brows.
“Sophia, if you had gone into acting, there would have been no issue of a leading lady!”
Sophia laughed, “Actually, filming is quite tiring.”
Derick nodded, then seemed to remember something and handed over a business card:
“This was the medical research lab of my friends abroad, where they had developed a new device specifically for stimulating the brainwaves of the elderly. It could awaken people who had been in a vegetative state for many years.”
I thought of old Mr. Zhou and his wife, but my relationship with Mr. Clement was really not suitable to mention.
“If you think it’s appropriate, why not suggest Mr. Clement to find out
more?”
Chapter 00
Sophia was quite touched, unable to hide her joy, and a glow overflowed from her eyes.
“That’s great, grandpa and grandma were always like this, I was actually quite worried. If there was a treatment specifically for the elderly, that would be absolutely fantastic!”
She had understood that the older the two elderly people got, the worse it was for them to be unconscious for extended periods of time. It was highly likely that they would eventually burn out.
But then, she saw hope!
“But don’t mention me, otherwise Mr. Clement might misunderstand and think I have bad intentions.”
“I was just going with the flow, after all, it was my friend who wanted to make money, Mr. Clement was just a cash cow!”
With his analogy, Sophia had laughed.
Indeed, it was.
They were talking when the wind chime at the door rang.
Sophia looked up and saw Emelia and the female student Pamela walking in, one after the other…
