Chapter 35
Pierce and Nolan were close. It was reasonable for Nolan to ask the Clement family for help.
Sophia pulled her lips and smiled indifferently.
“Don’t think too much. Everything will be okay.”
Sandra breathed a long sigh of relief. “Temporary victory is still a victory. I will go have a drink to celebrate.”
After that, she hung up.
Sophia couldn’t help but smile. Her mood wasn’t affected.
For the next few days…
Chapter 35
Everything went well with the police. Nolan asked many people for help but still couldn’t bail Hector out.
It seemed that someone was blocking him secretly.
He contacted Pierce several times, but Pierce always avoided him.
He didn’t want to dote on Hector like this at all. Hector was totally good- for–nothing. But his aunt, Selena Mckay, only had one son. How could Selena bear to see Hector imprisoned?
Nolan’s mother, Alaina, had to go to the Clement’s house to beg Ava.
But Ava knew that it was troublesome, so she refused tactfully again and
again.
Finally, Alaina chose to meet Sophia.

In Eagle Entertainment.
Alaina walked into the office in a fancy noble suit. She looked with
disdain.
Sophia signaled Aylen to get Alaina some water. As soon as Aylen put the cup on the table, Alaina took a look and suddenly said with a smile.
“When you still lived in the Clement’s place, you always served us, preparing tea or something like that. Now that you are out to work, someone else does it for you.”
Sophia threw a casual look at Aylen and smiled.
“This is my
my assistant. We are in a company, not the Clement’s place.”
She sounded quite gentle since she didn’t hold any grudge against Alaina.
They had met several times at Ava’s tea parties before. Ava would order

Sophia around to prepare tea for her so as to let the guests respect her.
Alaina could hear that Sophia was no longer humble. Her face froze.
But she still remembered why she came here, so she still remained polite on the surface.
“Sophia, I need your help actually.”
Sophia took the cup in front of her and had a drink. Then she said. unhurriedly.
“I know it. We don’t know each other well. If there’s nothing, why did you come? Just say it.”
Alaina looked a little dissatisfied, but she had no choice but to speak.
“Hector is my nephew. He offended you. I apologized for him. Later, I will let him come and apologize to you personally. But it’s not necessary

to make such a big fuss, right?
“He didn’t really hurt you. Why should he be imprisoned?
“Just dismiss the case for my sake. If you have any conditions, just tell me. I will satisfy you as much as I can.”
Sophia smiled. Actually, she had long known why Alaina came.
She put down the cup and smiled to refuse.
“Yes, he didn’t really hurt me, but that doesn’t mean that he’s innocent. I was lucky enough to escape. What about other girls?”
Alaina lost all her patience as she heard this. She heavily put down the cup on the table.
“Let’s have a deal. You dismiss the case and I will persuade Pierce’s mother to accept you again.”

Chapter 15
She no longer hid her arrogant attitude.
She appeared that Sophia should be grateful because of this dea
Sophia looked at Alaina for a few seconds with a smile in her eyes.
Why did they think that Sophia would regret it after getting divorced?
“Ms. Mckay, no need for that. Thanks for your kindness, but I’m no longer interested in the Clement family.”
She paused for a few seconds and then continued.
“Right. If you can persuade Mrs. Clement to accept me again, why don’t you ask Pierce for help? That’s faster.”
Chapter 35
She had doubts in her clear eyes.
Alaina paled when hearing this.
She glared at Sophia.
“What a sharp tongue! I really looked down on you before!”
Alaina felt embarrassed since she was refused by Sophia. She immediately stood up to warn Sophia..
“I’m giving you an opportunity. Sophia, don’t regret it.”
Sophia didn’t know where Alaina got the confidence to say this.
She didn’t even want to talk to Ava, not to mention others.

But she still stood up with a smile and looked at Aylen.
“Send the guest away.”
Aylen nodded. “Please…”
Alaina’s chest puffed. She pointed at Sophia with a trembling finger.
“You…”
Her face suddenly paled and she was out of breath. She fell backward.
Aylen quickly ran over.
“Ms. Cruise, should we call an ambulance?”
Sophia nodded and slightly frowned. She immediately called an ambulance over.
She recalled their conversation just now and thought that she didn’t say anything too excessive.
Why was Alaina so fragile?
Soon, Sophia let Aylen inform Nolan to go to the hospital.
The doctors pulled Alaina into the operating room for a rescue.
Aylen went to deal with the procedures. Sophia waited there for him. Nolan came first..
When he saw Sophia, he scolded her.
“Woman, you are simply a jinx. What did you do to my mother?
“Let me tell you. If anything happens to her, I will kill you.”
After that, he reached out to push Sophia hard.

Sophia was caught out of the blue and hit the wall. She felt a pain in her
arm.
Her eyes instantly turned cold. Her bright facial features also turned cold.
“Nolan, is there anything wrong with you?”
Nolan said coldly with hatred in his eyes.
“I know you hate me. You hate me because I helped Emelia, so you refused to show mercy to Hector. But let me tell you. I won’t give in! And I won’t forgive you for what you’ve done to my mother!”
Chapter 35
After he said those harsh words, the door to the operation room was open.
Nolan walked to the doctor. The doctor said calmly.
“The patient passed out because of low blood sugar. She’s already awake.”
Nolan was relieved to hear that.
Sophia rolled her eyes speechlessly.
What bad luck?
Why did they always pretend to pass out in front of her?
On the bed, Alaina weakly held Nolan’s hand.

Chapter 35
“Son, it was her…”
She pointed at Sophia. Sophia looked over and slightly frowned.
Alaina paused for a while and asked a question.
“Sophia, do you agree with my condition?” Actually, it sounded more like
a threat.
She appeared that if Sophia refused, she would cause trouble and accuse Sophia.
Sophia chuckled. Aylen ran from outside.
“The procedures are over. Right, Ms. Cruise, this is the recording.”
As soon as Alaina came, Sophia was well prepared.
Chapter 35
Since Alaina was close to Ava, how could she be a good person?
Sophia had to be prepared.
Sophia threw the recording over and looked at Alaina, whose face turned paler.
“No!”
After that, she smiled smugly and left with Aylen.
Alaina’s chest went up and down. She fiercely grabbed her son’s hand but couldn’t say anything.
Sophia always seemed to be an obedient daughter–in–law in front of Ava. She was like a maid in the Clement’s place. Alaina never expected that Sophia would dare to plot against her.
Chapter 35
Nolan slightly frowned and looked at Alaina with complex emotions in his eyes.
“Mom, did you plan to blackmail her just now?”
