Chapter 16
Sophia pulled herself together and chatted with Bianca, who was cheered. up. Then she said goodbye to Bianca.
As soon as Sophia walked out, she saw Pierce standing by the wall outside with a cold vibe. He pressed his thin lips with a deep frown.
He could clearly hear their conversation in the room.
Pierce thought, “Didn’t she try to cheer Grandma up because she still cares about me?
“She must have regretted divorcing me and wanted to come back with me!
“She’s loved me for three years. How could she stop suddenly?”
That thought softened him up.
Chapter 16
Seeing her mild and soft smile when she walked out, he had stronger complex feelings including guilt and pleasure.
He didn’t treat her well during the three years of marriage.
He decided to make it up to her.
Sophia divorced him without asking for anything.
It meant that she only cared about him.
Pierce thought, “She doesn’t want me to mistake her for a gold digger!”
It made him more confident.
“Sophia, if you regret divorcing, it’s not too late to take your words back.”
Chapter 16
After losing her identity as his wife, she would live a harder life.

Pierce fixed his eyes on her. His voice was deep and cool. And he felt a bit proud.
He compromised by saying so.
Hearing what he said, she glanced at him.
A touch of cold flashed in her heart. She felt ridiculous.
Then she chuckled, turned around, and went downstairs.
She didn’t bother to waste her time on him.
How could she regret divorcing?
How could she pretend as if nothing had happened?
How could she tolerate Pierce and Emelia?
It was suffocating.
When she left without speaking, Pierce’s face darkened and froze.
He felt he had lost something.
It made him somehow upset and anxious.
He loosened his collar, went downstairs, and found she had left.
Ava stopped him with a mad face.

“Sophia is so vulgar! How dare she! She forcibly married you. We had to accept her. In the past three years, we supported her life. But she is so ungrateful!
“The farce she made online embarrasses us. We should teach her a lesson.
“After she got divorced, she needs to work. Just make her banned so that she’ll have to ask us for help when she can’t find a job. She’ll learn a lesson and know who’s the boss!”
Pierce frowned with a darkened face. His eyes were deep. A sense of gloominess came upon his heart. He raised his hand coldly to tidy up hist clothes.
“Mom, stay away from this. Take care of our guests.”
His tone was cold. Then he walked out directly.
After going out. he called Devan.
Chapter 16
“Did you find where Sophia lives?”
He had been trying to find out her address. But it ended in vain.
She even blacklisted him.
Pierce thought, “She just disappeared like that to avoid me?”
Devan paused and answered nervously.
“No. Mrs… Ms. Cruise disappeared soon after she left.”
Pierce bit his teeth with his heart skipping a bit as if someone had
clutched his heart.
It made him so uncomfortable.

He didn’t believe that she could get away from him.
Three months passed.
Eagle Entertainment, a top entertainment company in Aberdyfi, held a charity party as expected.
The participants were elites from the upper class, either rich or powerful. It was an important event.
In the showbiz, Eagle Entertainment enjoyed a high status.

Chapter 16
But this party wasn’t open to the public, so reporters couldn’t get any photos.
Late in the afternoon.
A luxurious but low–key Bentley stopped at the entrance of Cartan Hotel.
Pierce, noble and cold, came out of the car with Emelia, her date.
At a young age, Pierce took charge of the Clement Group and made the Clement Group flourish within years. Both sides of the law knew that they could not offend him.
The moment Pierce and Emelia showed up, they caught people’s attention.
After all, his affairs with two women went viral online. It even affected. the stock share of the Clement Group.
But he was capable enough to turn the table.
Chapter 16
Emelia was an expensive customized dress, standing beside him with soft and charming eyes.
In the past three months, she had been interrogated by the police from time to time. And she had been put in custody for 15 days.
Yet, he seemed indifferent.
Luckily, Luke was too young and wanted his mother. So Pierce bailed her
out.
It made her feel a bit happy.
But she didn’t expect him to intend to send her abroad!
Emelia stalled for time with the excuse of Luke’s poor health.
Chapter 16
Anyway, Sophia lost her baby and was divorced.
Emelia reached her goal.
Emelia was determined to be Pierce’s wife.
In the bright hall.
Pierce held shares of Eagle Entertainment, but he was a small holder. Even though, his status made people respect him.
Pierce and Emelia were surrounded by people when they came.
“It’s said that a new director with a strong background was assigned to Eagle Entertainment suddenly. Did you hear that?”
“It’s said this is a party for the new director.”
Chapter 16
“That director has connections with Cecilia.”
Emelia listened, pondering. She looked at Pierce with expectation.
It was tiring to be in a troupe. She preferred to be in a show!
In fact, she had long wanted to be an actress, but she didn’t have a chance.
to talk to Pierce.
Pierce chatted with people decently and calmly with a sense of indifference.
As soon as people left, Emelia spoke at once.
“Pierce, I want to quit my job in the troupe. Can you ask this new director if I can…”

Chapter 16
Pierce frowned slightly, took a sip of wine casually, and said coldly as
usual.
“Got it.”
It was not a big deal. He only needed to talk to the new director.
It was good that Emelia could live independently without him.
Emelia looked up at him with a smile. She believed that he wouldn’t
refuse her.
People’s gabble sounded in the hall.
Someone said, “Mr. Kylan Cruise is here too. Why does his date look so familiar?”
Chapter 16
Kylan looked noble and aloof. His composure and strong vibe were obvious.
His date was also eye–catching.
Sophia’s face was stunning. She was wearing a customized black dress that had been delivered by plane from another country, looking amazing. Her natural beauty set off her ethereal vibe.
As soon as she showed up, Pierce’s face darkened as her eyes shrank.
Sophia had disappeared for 3 months. She actually showed up here in this way!
Sophia was arm–in–arm with Kylan. They looked close.
Sophia knew Pierce would come.
Sooner or later, they would meet in this industry.

As Pierce’s wife, Sophia used to work in the company but barely attended.
such events with him.
Sophia calmly gave a glance at Emelia, who was standing by Pierce,
So disappointed in him, she was not that mad.
For Pierce, Sophia was a woman who wasn’t good enough to stand by his side.
Sophia felt that they were made for each other as they were both cheap!
