Sandra grunted and left.
The lawyer added, “I’m Ms. Cruise’s lawyer, so you can contact me about this case.”
He exchanged business cards with Pierce’s lawyer before following Sandra away.
Pierce’s lawyer glanced at the business card and was stunned.
“This is the best lawyer of the top law firm in our country. He has never lost in any lawsuits.”
Pierce stood there stiffly and instructed Devan.
“Go find out where the hell Sophia is.”
He wanted to see her urgently.
He wondered if Sophia would hate him if she knew he was the one handling the aftermath for Emelia, the culprit who had hurt her.
Devan nodded.

Shortly after Pierce returned to the company, Emelia also arrived.

She tenderly made him coffee, yet he just glanced at it with gloomy eyes, and he didn’t drink it.
His preference for coffee had changed a long time ago, and he preferred the coffee Sophia made.
At this moment, his mind was full of Sophia.
Emelia paled and looked at him cautiously.
“What’s wrong, Pierce? Are you not feeling well?”
Pierce’s face turned cold. “Do you know who you hit last night?”
Emelia pursed her lips and shook her head apprehensively.
Pierce’s brow twitched slightly.
“It was Sophia. Do you really not know that?”
Emelia stiffened, tears instantly falling down her face. She walked over to Pierce and took his hand, sobbing.

“Sophia? I really didn’t know. I didn’t mean to hit her. Is she alright? I’ll go apologize to her, okay?”
Pierce drew back his hand, his face pale.
There was a hint of indifference and suspicion on his face.
Emelia cried hysterically and hugged Pierce’s shoulders for fear of losing something.
“How could I have harmed her? Don’t you believe me? I’m a mother. I won’t lie.”
Pierce gave her a deep look, his eyes surly and powerful.
He said coldly, “I’ll look into this matter. If you did it on purpose, I’ll kill you to avenge my child’s death.”
Emelia stiffened slightly, and her face changed for a moment. She quickly wiped her tears and stood up, sobbing.
“Don’t you believe me? I’ll go apologize to Ms. Cruise and beg her to forgive me. If she doesn’t forgive me, I’ll turn myself in and go to jail. Please take care of Luke.”
Pierce’s deep eyes were unreadable. His thin lips were pursed, and his expression was extremely indifferent.

“OK, I will arrange for you to go abroad after some time.”
Hearing this, Emelia froze and blanched, her eyes flashing with fear.
Pierce ignored her and left.
This thing was just too much of a coincidence. He was inevitably suspicious.
Pierce thought, “Whether Emelia did that intentionally or not, she can’t stay here any longer.
“Things between me and Sophia shouldn’t have turned out this way.
“I owe Sophia too much. When she gets better, I’ll bring her back, make it up to her, and treat her better.”

Sophia didn’t know how long she had been in a coma.
When she woke up, she felt sore all over.
She slowly opened her eyes and was slightly stunned when she saw the scene around her.

Inside the room were luxury decorations, both familiar and unfamiliar limited–edition furniture, exquisite antique vases, and the customized crystal curtains she had bought abroad.
In an instant, hot tears welled up in Sophia’s eyes.
This was the room she had been away from for a long time. This was the home she hadn’t been back to for three years.
As the Cruise family’s eldest daughter, Sophia had been groomed as an heir since she was a child.
“Ms. Cruise, you’re awake?”
Someone beside Sophia asked and immediately went out in surprise.
“Ms. Cruise is awake.”
Sophia suddenly recalled what had happened before she passed out. Thinking of the intense light and the sharp pain, she immediately touched her belly.
She could not sense the child anymore, and she realized that she had lost the child who had stayed briefly in her belly.
Tears fell down her cheeks. She felt overwhelming distress.

Sophia thought, “Why did this happen to me?
“I have already given up on Pierce. Why did Emelia kill my baby?”
Sophia curled up and wept.
A moment later.
There was a knock on the door.
Sophia calmed down. “Come in.”
Brycen Cruise, Sophia’s father, walked in and sighed sadly as he saw her.
Sophia had never been aggrieved before. However, after she insisted on marrying Pierce, she had been aggrieved and suffered for three years.
Now she was injured and had almost been killed.
Brycen was so anxious when he heard about Sophia’s accident, and he wanted to kill Pierce and Emelia.
Brycen went over and touched Sophia’s face.
He said softly, “Don’t be afraid. No one will dare to bully you in

Sophia couldn’t help hugging her father and crying hard.
“Dad, I was wrong…”
As things stood, she couldn’t even end her marriage decently
anymore.
How could it be so easy to split up peacefully? Someone had to pay the price for this marriage.
Sophia had been devoted to Pierce for three years. However, she was humiliated and hurt, and she lost her child.
She had learned a painful lesson,
Brycen touched Sophia’s hair, feeling sorry for her.
“You can come back at any time. Let Kylan help you with the rest of the things. Your mom will be heartbroken when she returns and sees you like this.”
When Brycen received Sandra’s call, he was so scared that he almost went into cardiac arrest.
In Brycen’s mind, compared to Sophia’s life, it didn’t matter that she made a mistake.

The Cruise Group was on par with the Clement Group.
Brycen thought, “What makes Pierce think he can get away with bullying Sophia?”
“I’m going to take revenge by myself. Dad, stay out of it.”
Brycen knew Sophia’s temper and nodded resignedly.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you.”
Anyway, he had made up his mind. He would get back at those who bullied Sophia.
Sophia pursed her lips. “Is mom still filming?”
Cecilia Mooney, Sophia’s mother, was a famous actress who scooped up a lot of awards.
Cecilia entered showbiz at a very young age, and now in her forties, she was still very popular. She was constantly invited to act, and she shot a TV drama every year to kill time.
Cecilia was secretly married. No one knew that she had married Brycen, the chairman of the Cruise Group, and had given birth to Sophia. Cecilia’s private life was hidden well.

Brycen nodded and smiled, “She’s abroad for an event and can’t come back soon.”
Although Cecilia couldn’t come back, she frequently gave Sophia video calls.
Brycen was afraid that Cecilia would disturb Sophia’s rest, so he didn’t tell Cecilia that Sophia had come home.
He planned to wait until she got better.
Yet when Sandra heard that Sophia had woken up, she immediately went to the Cruise’s home.
Looking at Sophia’s weak and pale face, Sandra was indignant and furious.
“Your child died, but he didn’t even ask you about it, and that night, he bailed that woman out of the police station.
“I shouldn’t have slapped her. I should have hit her head with a brick.”
Sophia almost had no feelings for Pierce now.
She didn’t care who he was with.
It was only when she heard about her child that her heart ached.
