Chapter 73
Sophia was somewhat surprised, “Camille?”
1288 ouders.
“Sister–in–law, I heard this woman constantly cursing you downstairs, then I saw her sneaking up here. Luckily, I arrived in time, she was indeed trying to harm you!”
Camille Clement was Pierce’s sister, the young lady of the Clement family, and also the person who had donated bone marrow in the past.
He had been recuperating abroad for these past years, it was unexpected that he actually returned to the country.
They didn’t interact much, and Sophia didn’t have a strong impression of her.
Camille watched as Emelia tried to get up from the ground, immediately ran over and sat on her, slapping her face hard.
“You bullied my sister–in–law, I had to beat you to death!”
No matter how much Emelia struggled, she couldn’t break free, which infuriated her. She and Camille ended up in a tangle, both pulling each other’s hair, neither willing to back down.
“Where did you come from? Do you know who I am? I am Pierce’s fiancee!”
Upon hearing this, Camille’s face broke into a grin of anger, and her actions became even more aggressive:
“Bullshit, my sister–in–law was standing right in front of me. Who are you pretending to be his fiancee? How could my brother possibly marry you?”
Emelia’s arm was wrapped in gauze, clearly burned, so her movements were not as nimble as Camille’s. She suffered quite a bit, her face turning an angry shade of pale.
Her injury was more serious than Sophia had thought.
Sophia hadn’t reacted yet, hearing someone scold in a cold voice at the door:
“Stop it all!”
Pierce strode over imposingly, looking indifferently at the two women on the ground. He then glanced at Sophia, who was standing by, unmoved, and asked:
“What happened?”
Sophia gave a faint smile, carrying a hint of aloof indifference.
Before she could even speak, Camille had already picked herself up from the ground, throwing herself into Pierce’s arms in
distress:

“Brother, this woman bullied me, she hit me and cursed at me. Look, she pulled out so much of my hair, it hurts so much…”
Emelia’s tears had just started to well up when she was shocked to see Camille, who had rushed to play the victim before her, causing her eyelid to twitch.
Watching Pierce not pushing Camille away, Emelia’s tears were choked back in an instant. Realizing this, she immediately put on a pretentious smile:
“Brother? You’re Camille, right? I’ve heard about you, it was all a misunderstanding.”
Camille turned around angrily to look at her:
“What misunderstanding? It was clearly you who wanted to bully my sister–in–law and I caught you. You even had the audacity to get angry and come at me.”
“Bro, she claimed to be your fiancee, which is ridiculous. Since when did you marry two wives?”
Pierce cast a gloomy glance at Emelia, who quickly spoke up:
“I didn’t, Camille misunderstood.”
Pierce lowered his gaze, looking at Sophia, who was standing by with an attitude of watching a good show. He immediately felt uncomfortable inside.
“What do you say?”
“He suddenly asked.”
As soon as Sophia landed, she gave a light laugh:
“It’s up to you who you want to believe. If I told you

She just found it amusing. If her words were so effective, would he have been so indifferent in the first place?

that his heart was biased, choosing the person he
wanted to trust.
Now it was his own little sister’s turn to confront Emelia, and he was actually hesitating?
Camille looked at them both suspiciously, immediately grabbing Pierce’s arm:
“Bro, don’t you trust me? Look at what that woman is holding in her hand, she clearly wants to strangle your wife from behind. This malicious woman, does she really have anything to do with you?”
Chapter 73
Of course, she was unhesitatingly devoted to her sister–in–law who had donated bone marrow to her.
What was that Emelia thing?
Pierce’s lips were tightly pressed together, his face cold as he looked at the object in Emelia’s hand, his sharp eyes narrowing slightly.
Emelia quickly hid the excess bandages behind her, opening her mouth pitifully:
“Of course I didn’t, I just wanted to come up and ask clearly, why did Ms. Cruise want to harm me, didn’t she dare to admit what she had done?”
She looked at Sophia with sorrow and resentment.
Sophia lowered her head and chuckled softly, slowly walking
over.

Emelia, relying on Pierce being there, wasn’t afraid of her and pretended to sob a few times.
But the next second.
Sophia swiftly snatched the bandage from her injured hand, deftly unwrapped it, and in an instant, it was wrapped around Emelia’s neck.
Emelia fell back in shock, collapsing onto the ground, her face pale and contorted in pain.
Sophia gradually pulled harder, and Emelia’s complexion gradually worsened.
Camille, standing nearby, was shocked and remained still.
Pierce, on the other hand, furrowed his brows, his eyes coldly fixed on her. Yet, he never stepped forward to stop her, his

forearm tense, enduring and restrained.
Sophia only let go when Emelia was about to suffocate.
Emelia collapsed on the ground like a puddle of mud, gasping for air with her hand clutching her neck. Tears and snot were streaming down her face.
Only then did Sophia shake her hand, opening her mouth unhurriedly, full of innocence:
“This time I admit, I don’t know about the rest, Emelia. Do you really think I’m a pushover, to be squeezed at will?”
“You don’t even know what kind of creature you are, how many people you’ve offended. You’re nothing more than a stinking rat that everyone wants to beat. It’s a real pity you weren’t burned to death!”
She said, laughing lightly, and tossed the piece of gauze onto

Emelia’s face like trash, then turned and left with an air of
nonchalance.
Pierce looked at her with dark eyes, then left the two people behind and followed her.

Just as Emelia was about to chase after him unwillingly, Camille stood in front of her:
“Why were you running? You hit me just now, I haven’t settled the score with you yet!”
Emelia gritted her teeth secretly, not daring to offend this young lady, she could only force a smile:
“I didn’t know you were Camille. When I was dating your brother, you were still sick. If it weren’t for Sophia using her bone marrow as a bargaining chip to marry your brother, we would be a family now!”
Chapter 73
Camille crossed her arms and snorted coldly:
“Drop that pretentious act of yours, I’m not buying it. It might work on someone as gullible as my brother.”
“At first glance, you’re a fox that’s been around for a thousand years, a green tea that’s been steeping for a decade, all women. Do you really think I would believe your lies?”
Emelia’s face stiffened, the fake smile on her face finally unable to hold.
Camille turned and left.
Pierce caught up with Sophia, a somewhat cryptic look in his
eyes.
Sophia looked at him coldly:

“Is there something else? What, you want to interrogate me. again?”
He recalled the scene in the ward that morning.

Pierce pursed his lips, reaching out to take her hand. His actions. were unquestionable as he gently massaged her palm, which had been reddened from strain. His profile was smooth and distinct, somewhat cold.
Sophia wanted to pull her hand back, but he didn’t allow it, his actions were forceful.
“I knew you hated her, Sophia, don’t do it this way, you’ll hurt yourself.”
His voice was deep and hoarse, watching her with a calm expression.
It seemed as if he had seen through everything, but he didn’t

say anything.
Sophia’s heart skipped a beat, but she still coldly withdrew her hand, looking at her with icy eyes:
“She was the one who started it, so don’t blame me for not being polite.”
She was speaking as she began to walk away. Suddenly, something occurred to her. She stopped, turned around, and looked at him as she asked:
“I had evidence in my hand of her bribing the waiter to commit arson, did you want it?”
Pierce stiffened, furrowing his brows:
“Think, you set the conditions,” he said.
