Chapter 30
Emelia’s face turned pale, her chest heaving with anger.
But she did not dare to be so cross with Sophia. With the current public opinion, it was no good for her to make a scene.
The director was still in shock, but Sophia had already left.
But she didn’t leave. Instead, she went to the producer’s office.
Things turned out to be exactly as she had expected.
Plenty of people were having a heated discussion in the office, even including the head of the station.
“I know you’re pissed and don’t want Emelia on the show. But Mr. Clement has just invested in our show, and how can we make him look bad?”
Chapter 30
The producer gritted his teeth and said.
“That woman harbors evil intentions, and it almost cost me my career last time. It was a relief for me that Eagle Entertainment fired her directly.
“But you… You even asked her to be one of the judges!
“Are you deliberately giving me a hard time?
“There’s no way I would ever work with someone like that!”
The head of the station heaved a sigh and said helplessly.
“This time, Nolan asked me to get Emelia in our show, and he’s still in my office now, so how can I say no? Next time, if Pierce shows up in person, am I supposed to say no too?”
They couldn’t afford to offend a big shot like Pierce.
The producer was too furious to say anything.
Sophia paused, turned, and went downstairs to leave.
She had just arrived downstairs when she saw Nolan standing there in his white shirt, talking to Emelia.
Emelia was standing there with a bright smile and it was clear she was in a good mood.
“Thank you for your help, Nolan. Thank you for standing beside Pierce and me. We will treat you to dinner someday.”
Nolan loosened his neckline, and his cold eyes softened a little.
“You’re welcome. You’re just
bullied all the time. You do, o kind, and that was why you’ve been
have to be afraid of Sophia. If she keeps
Chapter 20
picking on you, you just need to knock out all her interns.”
Hearing what Nolan said, Sophia snorted and walked slowly down the
last step.
Nolan and Emelia were stunned.
Emelia immediately calmed down and gave Nolan a flustered look. Then she shook her head, hinting at him to lower his voice.
An arrogant playboy from a wealthy family like Nolan didn’t feel apologetic or flustered at all.
He arranged his clothes slowly, glanced sideways at Sophia, and spoke in a bad tone.
“What are you afraid of? If it wasn’t for Pierce, she wouldn’t be able to still stay in this circle.
Chapter 30
“Some people just think too much of themselves!”
Of course, Sophia sensed his plain mockery of her.
From the time she married Pierce, Nolan was the most hostile to her, and she didn’t even know why.
But after thinking for a moment, she felt she had no reason to pretend that she didn’t hear anything.
So she turned around, with a cool and indifferent look on her face and her eyes shining brightly. Then she said lightly with a smile.
“Are you talking about me?”
“Yes!”
To stand up for Emelia, he retorted.
Chapter 30
Sophia folded her arms, lowered her head, and grinned.
“Don’t you think you are just too meddlesome?
“I think you may just mind your own business!”
Nolan was so furious that he wanted to go argue with her. However, Emelia quickly stopped him.
“Forget about it! Nolan, don’t be mad. What if others see it?”
“Do you think she cares? How could you still think of her after being bullied by her like this? ?Why doesn’t someone like her get the punishment she deserves yet?”
Nolan said in a bad tone.

Sophia’s smile faded, and she looked at him with a straight face.
“Yes! Retribution is a matter of time, but we never know who’s gonna get
it.”
She glanced at Emelia, who was standing next to him, and then turned to
leave.
That glance made Emelia panic.
Sophia turned to leave while he flew in a rage.
“This woman is so arrogant! Don’t worry, Emelia. I’ve already talked with the guys in the TV station, she won’t dare to bully you.”
Although Warren, Nolan’s father, was only a director, he had won numerous awards and was very famous.
Warren had a very high position in the circle.
Emelia smiled and nodded.
As soon as Sophia left the station, she called the producer.
He answered it immediately and was too angry to talk normally
“Ms. Cruise, I was just about to call you. I have something to tell you…”
“I know all about it. Emelia’s on the judging panel.”
She interrupted him and said in a soft, calm voice.
“Don’t worry. Just let her be! If others find out she doesn’t deserve it, she’s gonna be in bigger trouble.”
The producer was stunned and silent for a moment.
“OK.”
He owed Sophia a huge favor. Thanks to the proof she provided, he could clear his name.
At noon.
Sophia got a call from the hospital..
“No paternity…”
Those words stuck in her ears. She felt like a dream, and she just could
not believe it or understand it.
“Luke isn’t Pierce’s son?
Chapter 30
There’s no way Pierce doesn’t know that.
So, he just loves Emelia so much that he treats her son like his own?
He gave all his love and tolerance to her, so he didn’t care about me or our unborn child.
He just said he would make up for me, and that’s all!”
Tears welled up in her eyes and she felt heart–broken.
The sun was burning.
She suddenly felt very tired and seemed to have been drained of all her strength in an instant.
She didn’t know why.

Perhaps this incident made her feel really ridiculous and pathetic to herself.
She thought, “I didn’t lose to a bastard.
“But to the great love between Pierce and Emelia?”
She was lost in grief.
And after a long time, she finally came back to her senses.
She did not go to the company but directly went back to the Cruise’s place, lying in her room.
Everything quieted down, and she finally felt a sense of security.
She took a light sleep.

The phone rang suddenly.
It was a strange number. She felt familiar, but she couldn’t remember where she had seen it.

She picked up the phone. The voice of the man on the other side of the line was clear.
“Hello, Ms. Cruise.”
Sophia slightly pursed her lips. “Derick?”
“Yes, it’s me. Did you get the result, Ms. Cruise?”
He spoke with confidence as if he knew everything.
She felt resistant in her heart, suspecting he had someone following her

She couldn’t figure out what he was up to.
So she just kept silent.
He laughed and explained in a low and hoarse voice.

“I went to Eagle Entertainment at noon today, and they told me you did not go to work this afternoon, so I guess you may know the result now. Are you in a bad mood?”
She breathed a sigh of relief and her voice softened.
“Yes, I got the result, and it surprised me. You wanted to see me, Mr. Woodward?”
His voice deepened a little.

“Aren’t you curious, Ms. Cruise? Pierce knew Luke wasn’t his son, but why would he keep it from everyone?”
His voice was mellow and he seemed to be explaining to her in detail.
“If you want to know the answer, you may take advantage of Pierce’s mother to find it for you.”
Sophia slightly frowned. “Why are you telling me this?”
She always felt that Derick was very mysterious, and it seemed as if he deliberately approached her with some purpose.
Derick sighed lightly.
“Because I don’t want to see you sad or live in hate…”

She hung up before he could finish his words.
“How gross!” She thought.
He chuckled and shook his head.
Then the smile on his face was replaced by a vicious and cold expression.
Derick thought, “Pierce, I can’t wait to watch a good show!”
