Chapter 157
Before Sophia could say anything, Sandra couldn’t help but push Sophia’s shoulder aside, sneering at Nolan and that woman, speaking without any courtesy:
“It’s a scandal that everyone in the city already knew about, what are you still afraid of people finding out?”
Pamela, who was next to Nolan, flinched in fright, pursed her lips and lowered her head, seemingly a bit embarrassed.
Nolan stood in front of her, looking at Sandra, a frown creased his brow:
“Sandra, you had better be polite!”
Sandra retorted with a defiant sneer:
“Huh, was she Mrs. Morrison or your fiancee?
Why should I have been polite?

If I remember correctly, just a few days ago your family was still arranging for you to have a blind date with me!

Why didn’t you tell her you wouldn’t marry her? Oh, you were just playing with her.
Even when I had a child, I still couldn’t enter the door of your Morrison family.
“Because the Morrison family only wanted to marry into high society, a penniless college student could not be of any help and would only be ridiculed…”
Nolan’s face had already turned extremely dark and ugly, his eyes glaring at Sandra with a gloomy look.
“Sandra, are you done yet? I won’t marry you, are you satisfied now?”
He said these words in a cold tone, and Sandra, satisfied, curled her lips into a smile and raised an eyebrow in amusement.
“Okay, I was very satisfied.”
She let out a satisfied sigh, and as she was about to leave, she kindly reminded the female student who was almost bowing her head to the ground:
“She was deceived by an old man before she even stepped into society, thinking she could cross social classes and achieve her life’s dream. In reality, she would have been better off thinking it through. If he really could marry you, he wouldn’t be going on

blind dates with socialites without doing anything…
Looking at Nolan, his eyes were dark and deep, as if a huge wave was about to surge within them.
Sandra didn’t add fuel to the fire, she turned around and left with Sophia.
The doctor subsequently admitted Sandra to the emergency room. She arrived in time, her allergic reaction was mild, with only a few small red rashes on her body. After taking the medicine, they would subside within two hours.
Sophia was outside with her, she bought herself a cup of coffee and slowly drank it to refresh herself.
After Dr. Nolan had prescribed the medicine, he came out with Pamela.
He held the person in his arms, protectively standing tall.
Pamela came out, saw them, and shrank back a little.
Nolan’s face turned cold and ugly as he recalled the words just spoken..
He didn’t continue to argue with Sandra, he just looked at Sophia, his voice slow and soft:

“Ms. Cruise, since you’ve divorced and found someone new, it’s better to stay away from Pierce.”
“Otherwise, if word gets out that you’re stringing him along and hanging out at bars with other men, playing both sides, it won’t be easy to explain.”
Sandra couldn’t help but roll up her sleeves, ready to fight, but was stopped by Sophia.
Sophia raised her indifferent eyes and gave him a light laugh. Then she picked up her phone, found the number she had previously blocked, and called it, putting it on speaker.
Nolan’s face instantly turned ugly and stiff.
But it was too late to lift his foot and leave, Pierce responded very quickly.
Pierce’s drowsy yet delighted voice came through the phone:
“Sophia, it’s so late and you’re looking for me, is there something important? It’s really great that you thought of me…”
Sophia looked directly at Nolan, interrupting the man’s voice on the phone:

“Your good brother, young master Nolan, just came to warn me to stay away from you.”
Pierce, when did you tell him that I ever kept you in suspense, that I ever approached you, promised to give you hope?
“Please tell him very clearly, don’t turn back. The people around you may misunderstand our relationship, which is not good for both of us.”
She finished speaking word by word, staring intently at the fascinating expression on Nolan’s face, suddenly feeling a bit of joy in her heart.
He thought he had picked a soft persimmon to squeeze, but ended up smashing his finger.
Nolan’s frustrated expression was on the verge of breaking, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and his body involuntarily stiffened.
Pierce’s phone went completely silent.
Without speaking, the chill and coldness from the other end of the phone could be felt.
Nolan couldn’t help but clench his teeth, a complex mix of emotions flashing in his eyes. He realized that Pierce had been silent for a bit too long, which unconsciously made him feel

He coughed once, “Bro…”
He remembered why Pierce had distanced himself from him and the Morrison family last time
Because of Sophia.
But this time, he actually dared to test his bottom line again. Without a doubt, who would dare to provoke Pierce’s temper? The Morrison family was probably going to be dragged into his misfortune again!
Finally, Pierce’s deep, husky voice came through, devoid of any discernible emotion:
“Sophia, it was me who was always getting closer to you, don’t believe what others say.”
Sophia frowned, had he really spent all that time just to come up with a sentence that gave her goosebumps?
She bit her lip in silence and hung up directly.
She looked at Nolan, her eyes indifferent and her smile frivolous.

“Mr. Morrison, listen carefully, who is bothering whom here? You’d better go and persuade Pierce not to pester me so shamelessly, I would appreciate it.”
Nolan couldn’t catch his breath, his face somewhat pale. Just as he was about to say something, his phone rang. It was a call from Pierce.
He pursed his lips, only able to walk to the other side to answer the call.
It was just a few short seconds, probably no more than three sentences, and the call was hung up.
Unaware of what Pierce had said, Nolan’s face gradually turned
sour.
His eyes were a dull grey, and Pamela, who had always been somewhat invisible, ran over:
“Nolan, were you okay?”
Nolan tightened his lips, his eyes and brows shrouded in a layer of melancholy and struggle.
He approached Sophia, his attitude completely different from before.

“Ms. Cruise, I apologize to you, I was too rude just now, I’m sorry.”
Sophia and Sandra exchanged glances, amusingly watching Nolan’s transformation.
Both of them remained silent.
Sophia didn’t respond, and Nolan didn’t leave either.
He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, mentally prepared himself, before he spoke again:
“Sorry, could you please tell my brother to forgive me?”
“Because of what just happened, he had already halted the project he had previously promised and the invested funds. The Morrison family was innocent and couldn’t be implicated by me.”
Sandra couldn’t help but chuckle as she watched him nobly “sacrifice” his dignity to apologize.
“The Morrison family was innocent, wasn’t Sophia also innocent? You talk as if your family has suffered a great injustice.”
It was you who courted death, insisting on provoking those you

shouldn’t have provoked. You provoked them and couldn’t
handle the consequences, yet you expected others to bear the consequences for you.
“Nolan, Sophia didn’t provoke you tonight. If it weren’t for this phone call, Sophia would have been humiliated by you all night. Would you apologize on your own?”
Watching Nolan’s increasingly unpleasant expression, Sandra didn’t hold back at all.
She rolled her eyes harshly, unable to resist making sarcastic remarks:
“Stop being an eyesore here, get as far away as you can. Go beg your good brother. If Sophia pleads for you, wouldn’t that just confirm what you just said, that you’re entangled with him?”
Sophia pinched Sandra’s arm, signaling her to stop talking.
She then looked at Nolan with a cold gaze, her voice light:
“Mr. Morrison, your business with him is none of my concern, nor do I have such a close relationship to interfere. Your apology is worthless, there’s no need to demean yourself like this.”
