Chapter 97
I went to see Derick, but he flatly refused to meet me. I had been to his office building several times, waiting for him for several hours, but he wouldn’t budge.
No matter how I bumped into him, or what I said, he just wouldn’t pay attention to me.
“Brother, could you please help me think of a solution? I was almost going crazy!”
Camille paced around impatiently.
Pierce slightly furrowed his brows:
“What were you being so attentive for?”
“I wasn’t attentive, he couldn’t see me even more. The pursuit of a man by a woman is separated by a layer of gauze, let alone he is so outstanding and popular. I couldn’t let him be taken away by others!”
Camille spoke naturally.
Pierce wore a look of disdain, he didn’t have a good impression of this Derick.
“He wasn’t worth it, besides, wasn’t he just looking like me?”
“Bro, can you stop being so narcissistic? How is he anything like you? It’s clear that Derick is much more gentle and handsome…”
Pierce’s face darkened, giving her a cold glance:
“Get out.”
Camille: ”
Was he a biological brother?
She pleaded here for quite a while before she managed to get Pierce to agree to invite Derick to Kamden’s birthday party, creating an opportunity for her.
Pierce had her leave, finally able to have a moment of peace.
Sophia knew about Pierce’s situation, but it was already several days later.
Due to the numerous issues involved in Pamela’s jump from the building, it was kept confidential.
When she found out, she was momentarily in disbelief.
Why had that woman chosen such a method?
Chapter 97
Not many days ago.
Sandra went to the company to look for Sophia in high spirits.
As soon as she entered the room, she stood in front of the office desk, full of vitality, and looked at Sophia mysteriously.
“Did you know what I was going to tell you?”
Sophia shook her head.
Sandra couldn’t hold back either, and blurted out:
“Nolan took the child back to the Morrison family. Nolan’s mother, out of concern, had a paternity test done for them. The result showed that the child was not Nolan’s.”
Sophia’s eyes widened in shock, her heart deeply shaken:
“What? That Pamela…”
Didn’t Pa
love Nolan very much?
Or perhaps she was merely playing along all along.
Sandra couldn’t help but shake her head:

That child was from Pamela’s first boyfriend in school. She got back
together with her first love after leaving Nolan, but they broke up again. after she got pregnant.
Everyone was laughing at Nolan for being cuckolded by a mistress.
“The Morrison family had already returned the child to his biological father.”
Sophia also felt quite melancholic.
Pamela being with Nolan was probably for revenge from the very beginning.
But what these two people really looked like, perhaps only they knew.
“This whole mess with the Morrison family, it was enough to keep them. busy for a while. But who on earth took that child away?”
Sandra raised an eyebrow, “Who knows? Anyway, it’s none of our
business now.”
Sophia fell silent for a moment.
It was just a pity that Joshua lost…
However, she always felt that it wasn’t lost, but was taken away by someone. Otherwise, with the huge effort Pierce put into searching, it

wouldn’t have been possible to not even have a trace.
Her phone suddenly rang. It was a message from Derick:
“Sophia, I had to make an urgent trip back to Mautiland. Was there. anything you needed me to bring?”
Sophia slightly furrowed her brows, this sudden?
She replied, “Nothing is needed, safe travels.”
“Wait for me.”
THE
The two people chatted for a while, and then it was time to get off work.
Sophia had a social engagement in the evening, all were acquaintances, and Sandra also went along.
The other party also brought their own daughter, who was about the same age as Sophia. She had just returned from abroad, with distinct facial features, and was elegantly beautiful.
“Ms. Cruise, this is my daughter, Annie Stapleton. She insisted on coming along to broaden her horizons. She plays the piano.”
Sophia smiled and politely said:

pass by a theater during my trip abroad. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go in and appreciate it.”
Annie, with her delicate demeanor, spoke softly:
“Ms. Cruise was polite. I had a performance at the theater in a few days, and she could come to support if she had time.”
Not sure if it’s a characteristic of dancers, but Annie and Emelia were quite similar in some aspects of their temperament.
It was all that kind of soft, weak, slender, and fragile feeling.
However, the impression Annie gave was not as harshly targeted as Emelia’s.
During this meal, Annie’s gaze kept falling on Sophia from time to time.
Sophia had noticed, she just nodded slightly when she met the gaze.
Just as things were about to end, Annie’s phone rang, After glancing at her phone, she looked at her father with a beaming smile and said something.
Derek Stapleton just helplessly waved his hand.
Sandra teased with a laugh on the side:

Chapter 97
“Was it the boyfriend who came to pick up?”

Annie’s face turned red, she subconsciously glanced at Sophia, somewhat embarrassed, she curved the corner of her lips and explained:
“It wasn’t yet.”
She apologized to everyone shyly, then left.
He wasn’t a boyfriend yet, but indeed someone came to pick her up.
Mr. Stapleton chuckled, “The blind date her mother introduced, don’t mind, Ms. Cruise, the person introduced is Pierce.”
The venue was completely quiet.
Sandra was even more shocked, her smile stiffening and fading away:
“Pierce?”
Sophia raised an eyebrow, finally understanding why Annie had been observing her all along.
“Of course I wouldn’t mind, a match in social and economic status is quite suitable!”
Mr. Stapleton’s collaboration with Eagle Entertainment was deeper, so he didn’t hide anything from Sophia.

Mr. Stapleton only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her natural complexion:
“Actually, I didn’t really agree with this matter, but my wife was quite

fond of Mr. Clement, and Annical him. She has liked Mr.
Clement since she was a child, so… let’s just go with the flow!”
After the dinner party ended.
Everyone left one after another.
Sophia and Sandra went to the restroom and were the last to leave.
Sandra had drunk quite a bit, leaning drunkenly against Sophia.
Was waiting for the elevator.
The elevator arrived, a person got off, who had also drunk quite a bit. Squinting, he took a glance, a flash of sharpness in his eyes:
“Ms. Cruise, isn’t this the Ms. Cruise from the Clement Group?”
Sophia was taken aback, recognizing the man as David Fredrick, a client. who had collaborated with the Clement Group. She had been the one to liaise with him at the time.

She gave a slight nod, “Hello, Mr. Fredrick, I am no longer with the
Clement Group.”
David had eagerly taken her hand, his eyes scanning her up and down, unable to hide his astonishment:
“Ms. Cruise, I had long felt that your talents were wasted there, Mr. Clement had always neglected you. I’ve been thinking about you since your divorce.”
“Why not come to my place? I’ll pay you double the salary.”
He said, intending to grope her butt under the influence of alcohol.
Sophia pulled back her hand, dodged smoothly, and her face also darkened.
“Mr. Fredrick, I was not interested, please respect yourself.”
David’s face turned sour in an instant, he squinted his eyes and snorted. coldly:
“Don’t toast if you’re not going to drink the penalty, do you still think you’re part of the Clement Group?”
Sensing something amiss, a groggy Sandra nearby lifted her head.
“Who are you, what’s so great about the Clement Group? Where did this fatso come from? If you want to act like a thug, at least open your eyes.
Chapter 97
Get lost now!”
David hated being called a fatso the most. His face immediately turned pale and he slapped Sandra across the face.
