After Cheney finished speaking, Sophia suddenly stiffened.
It was as if the whole person had become still.
She blinked, looking at Cheney’s awkward yet polite smile, falling silent for a moment.
I saw a ghost!
No wonder everything here seemed a bit off!
If this got out, Sandra would be the first one to die laughing!
Sophia sat there, feeling like she was on pins and needles.
So many people looked at her, she felt her beauty was overshadowed.
For the first time, there was an urge to crawl into a crack in the ground.
Cheney couldn’t help but chuckle, yet he tried hard to control his smile:
“Well, Ms. Cruise, there’s no doubt about your appeal. Even the female stars in the industry can’t
compare to you. It’s just this place…”
Before he could finish his words, Sophia couldn’t help but interrupt:
“So, you came here because you’re also gay?”
Cheney’s face changed immediately, waving his hand:
“No, no, no, of course not.”

Sophia seemed to have caught him by the short hairs, arrogantly lifting her chin:
“Stop pretending, it was you who told me about this place. Would you be here if you weren’t you?”
What it meant for a popular young actor to be gay, of course, goes without saying.
Cheney turned pale. “A friend asked me to come and pick up something…”
Sophia didn’t want to listen and was about to leave with her bag immediately.
Cheney panicked and hurriedly chased after:
“Boss…”
Arrived at the door.
Sophia stopped in her tracks and looked back at him.
Cheney pursed his lips, reluctantly compromising:
“As heaven is my witness, I truly am not, can we pretend I never came tonight?”
Sophia lowered her eyes, “Should you also pretend I didn’t come tonight?”
Anyway, it was quite awkward for the two people to meet here.
Cheney immediately understood her meaning and nodded.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
The two individuals immediately turned around and left separately, as if they had never been here
tonight.

Sophia went back, couldn’t help but take a hot bath to soothe her mood of the day.
Just as I was about to rest, I received a call from Kasen.
When did Kasen become so inconsiderate, calling so late?
She thought for a moment, then still picked it up.
The result was not Kasen’s voice, but Pierce’s voice.
“It was me, Sophia, don’t bother with Daniel from Codepath Tech. anymore, it’s a waste of time.”
“Mr. Clement, what can I do for you?”
Sophia asked patiently.
Telling her so suddenly that she was wasting time, did they think she lacked the ability?
Pierce’s voice was low, “He’s no good, so many women have suffered under him. I’m kindly warning
you, Sophia, don’t be fooled.”
Sophia could bear it no longer: “Do you think I’m an idiot? Are you the only smart person in the world,
and everyone else is a fool?”
“Sophia……”
“Call me Ms. Cruise!” Sophia emphasized.
Don’t pretend to be so friendly.
When they were not divorced, he would always call her Sophia, as if afraid that people would notice
their close relationship. What does he call Sophia now?
Didn’t you find it funny?‘

Pierce was silent for a few seconds before he spoke somewhat helplessly:
“You took me to the hospital, I have to thank you. There’s a cruise party tomorrow, would you like to
go? Don’t be angry all the time, it can make you age faster!”
Sophia was so angry that she hung up the phone on the spot.
Pierce, who had seen a ghost, didn’t have a single good word to say!
Pierce stared at the disconnected phone, falling silent.
The nearby Kasen couldn’t help but take–a glance, whispering:
“Mr. Clement, you didn’t have to say your last sentence.”
Pierce furrowed his brow, “Did I say something wrong?”
“No,” Kasen said immediately.
How could he have made a mistake?
Pierce was never wrong!
He thought for a moment, then sent her a message directly:
“Daniel was going to a cruise party tomorrow, would you like to go?”
As expected.
Sophia saw it and responded, “Go.”
For the sake of the company’s affairs, of course, I went.
Pierce’s mood lifted, see, she just couldn’t bear to reject him!
He was somewhat obsessed with this kind of obscure and profound

love.
Kasen: “The cruise party tomorrow was for Ms. Cruise, you could have just said so.”
Still had to use Daniel as an excuse?
Pierce tossed the phone back to him, leisurely adjusting his cuffs:
“She was embarrassed.”
He still remembered that before the divorce, he had mentioned taking her to a cruise party, but ended
up standing her up due to some last- minute issues.
The expression on her face was extremely disappointed, yet she forced a smile and said it didn’t
matter.
He wanted to make up for all his regrets.
The next day.
Sophia, dressed in a white long skirt, arrived at the port gracefully and elegantly.
Indeed, this cruise ship was large, with over ten floors, rarely seen in our country.
The port had been put under martial law, and basically, only those who had their faces scanned could
enter.
As soon as Sophia got on the boat, she saw the man leaning on the deck.
Derick stood there solemnly, his aura was undeniably powerful.
He also saw her, walked over with a smile and greeted:

“If I had known you were coming, I would have gone to pick you up.”
“Was your body better?”
Sophia still remembered how he had almost fainted from illness before.
Derick nodded with a smile:
“Alright, thank you for your concern.”
The two people exchanged a smile, the breeze on the deck blew over, the light swayed and hit their
bodies, enveloping the two in a gentle glow.
Pierce looked on from the side, his face so dark it was extremely unsightly.
The emotions restrained and endured in his dark pupils surged up and down, as if they could
completely devour a person in the next second.
The next second.
He strode over, directly wrapping his arms around Sophia’s waist, as if declaring his sovereignty:
“Why didn’t you go in after you arrived? It was very lively inside!”
Sophia wanted to struggle, but the man restrained her very forcefully.
Took the wrong medicine again?
Derick reined in his laughter, the gentleness faded from his eyes and eyebrows, instead, he appeared
somewhat stern:
“Mr. Clement, it’s been a long time.”
“I didn’t want to see you.”

Pierce was straightforward.
Sophia, speechless, tried to push him away but failed, so she simply stepped on Pierce’s foot.
Pierce’s recovering foot was severely injured again, his face instantly turned the color of a pig’s liver,
and he looked at her in shock and confusion.
Sophia turned and walked away directly, Pierce was just about to catch up when Derick stopped him.
“Mr. Clement, there was something I wanted to ask you…”
Sophia finally escaped Pierce’s sight and entered the vast banquet hall.
The several floors were interconnected, the brilliant golden light was dazzling beyond compare. The
overhead lights were shining brightly, and the surrounding furnishings were luxurious and magnificent.
Many big shots in the malls were making low–key appearances and exchanging pleasantries here at
that time. The most high–profile were their family members, with socialite ladies dressed in splendor
socializing.
Sophia immediately spotted Annie, who was arm in arm with Ava, surrounded by people.
Annie, deviating from her usual gentle and elegant style, dressed extremely boldly. She wore a bright
red dress, the hem of which just barely covered her straight, slender legs. Her long hair was loosely
draped over her shoulders, and she exuded a somewhat seductive and enchanting aura.
She also saw Sophia, carrying a glass of wine, walking through the crowd and standing in front of
Sophia.

Sophia’s aura was cool and bright, she could overshadow Annie without the need for heavy makeup.
She looked at Annie indifferently.
Annie smiled at her, raised her wine glass, and gently swirled the liquid in the glass.
“Ms. Cruise, welcome to our engagement party.”
