Since yesterday, Sophia had been like a different person.

Sophia smiled coldly. Meeting Pierce's angry gaze, she took out the resignation letter and divorce agreement that had been prepared long ago and threw them fiercely at his face.
"Pierce, don't be shameless. You controlled public opinion and slandered me with paid trending topics. Do you really think I've forgotten all about it?
"Don't make me look down on you. I'm too disgusted to spend one more day with people like you."
Sophia sneered and took a step toward Pierce, looking into his sharp eyes without any fear.
She yanked on Pierce's collar hard toward herself, his handsome face suddenly close to her.

Sophia said in an icy and menacing tone, "Mr. Clement, you are clear about my ability. If you do not want to make things
embarrassing, sign the divorce agreement, and let's split up peacefully.
"Otherwise, I'll sue for divorce, and everyone will know the scandal of the Clement Group."
After Sophia finished speaking, she coldly glanced at them, released Pierce in disgust, and left.
She felt great after letting go of her feelings for him.
Pierce stared intensely at her back with a tight frown and a frosty, complicated expression.
The moment she dragged him, he felt as if she clutched his heart.

Pierce didn't have much affection for Sophia, but he was quite satisfied with her.
He had an easy time with her after they got married. She was obedient and would not cause any trouble. Sophia helped Pierce far more than he had first realized.
He had never seen Sophia like this before.
She was angry, sober, sensible, and cool.
She was like a beast that had been pretending to be submissive and had finally shown its true colors. Pierce had an indescribable wave of emotion that he couldn't

control at all. His mind drifted back to her calm and indifferent gaze just now,
He was annoyed as hell.
Pierce thought, "Slandering her with paid trending topics?
"When did I ever do such things?"
Yet he clearly realized that he didn't want a divorce.
Emelia sobbed cautiously and reached for his arm.
"Pierce, how about I explain to Ms. Cruise when I get a chance?"
Pierce dodged her hand, his thin lips pursed tightly as he looked at her slightly swollen face.

"No need. Just don't blame her."
Emelia blanched and smiled weakly and understandingly.
"Of course, I won't."
Emelia was alerted, wondering if Pierce cared about Sophia.

Once Sophia went out, her coworkers gathered around her, all feeling indignant.
"Sophia, you're obviously Mrs. Clement. You've done so much for Mr. Clement, but in the end, you're giving way to a mistress?"
"That's right. According to Mr. Reed's words, he plans to arrange for that bitch to work in the secretarial office. They are driving you away, aren't they?" 12:45)

"Mr. Clement is really stupid. In terms of ability and beauty, how can that woman compare to you?"
The crowd complained.
Sophia smiled comfortingly. At this time, she no longer cared about Pierce.
"Don't worry about me. Any normal person will end such a marriage as soon as possible."
She smiled casually.
"Mr. Clement might be angry with you guys because of me. you want to leave here, you can come to me at any time."
After three years of working with them, Sophia had good relationships with all these coworkers.

If Pierce really fired them because of her, Sophia wouldn't mind recommending them to the Cruise Group.
Even if Pierce blacklisted anyone she could afford the consequences.
After saying goodbye, Sophia left the office with her things.
Pierce didn't forget Sophia's words and soon had someone investigate the slander.
Soon, there were results from Devan. The PR manager came over to report.
"You instructed us not to let the gossip hurt Mr. Luke, especially we had to divert the public's attention to about his origins, so Mrs. Clement's past."
...
Pierce's face clouded. "What past?"

"She was indiscreet about her private life before marriage and had several abortions. She can't have children and so on."
At those words, Pierce violently flung the cup in front of him onto the ground.
Pierce's face darkened as he looked at the PR manager coldly and sternly. "Who said that?"
He was furious. How could he not know what kind of person Sophia was?
She lost her virginity to him.
There was dead silence in the office.

The PR manager wiped his sweat. "Someone sent Mrs. Clement's information anonymously, and Ms. Wilson told us to protect Mr. Luke at all costs..."
At this point, he didn't dare hide anything because he could see that Pierce's mood was bad.
Pierce's eyes instantly turned grim, his expression icy and ugly.
"Go back and pack your things. You're fired."
The PR manager kept begging for mercy, but to no avail, and he was finally dragged out by the security guards.
Pierce realized he had been careless this time.
His unusual feelings for Sophia became even stronger, lingering in his mind.

For a few days, no matter who in the Clement Group called her, Sophia did not answer the phone.
A week later.
The hospital called her, reminding her to go for a prenatal checkup.
Sophia then remembered that she was pregnant.
She should have been happy to have a strong connection with Pierce.
But at this point, Sophia just couldn't be happy.
She thought, "Pierce has an illegitimate child, so what is my child?" 12.45

Sophia felt fate was pranking her. It was an unwanted accident.
Sophia thought, "I have to make a choice.
"Should I keep the child or not?"
She went to the hospital anyway, without telling anyone.
The doctor examined Sophia.
Seeming to have seen her hesitation, the doctor gently told her, "The fetus is healthy, and all indicators are normal. If you don't want it, make an early decision." Sophia dithered and smiled with a pale face.
"Thank you. I'll think about it."

She stood up and left, her thoughts jumbled as she walked to the door. Her figure was slim, her head slightly down. She looked gentle and gloomy.
While Sophia was in a daze, a small child who came out of nowhere hit Sophia's leg, fell to the floor, and covered his forehead, crying with an aggrieved face. Sophia was about to bend down to help the child up when she saw his face and was stunned.
And then Emelia's anxious voice sounded not far away.
"Luke..."
Emelia ran over, took a look at Sophia, and hugged Luke as she cried sadly.
It was as if Sophia had bullied Emelia's son.

Their cries attracted a lot of onlookers.

The next second, Pierce also rushed over from the side, his sleeves pulled up to his forearms. His aura was cold and stern. Seeing this, he instantly scowled, his sharp eyes gazing at Sophia.
Emelia sobbed.
"Ms. Cruise, I did something wrong to you, but you shouldn't have attacked a child. He's only two years old. Please let him go."
Sophia looked at them speechlessly, feeling ridiculous.
She wondered, "Is Emelia addicted to putting on a show?"

Sophia was even tired of dealing with Emelia's tricks.
Sophia felt it was so boring.

Pierce silently picked up the child, coaxing him gently. Pierce's eyes overflowed with tenderness and anxiety.
Pierce's aura was a harmonious mixture of coldness and gentleness.
He frowned at Sophia, his eyes sharp.
"Why are you here? Were you following us?"
His questioning tone was angry and frosty.
Sophia's heart trembled, her mood worsening.
Chapter 11
She snorted.
"You think everyone came here because of you guys? Don't flatter yourself."
The little kid gradually stopped crying in Pierce's arms.
He was rather dependent on his father.
Sophia was stung by this scene. Thinking about why she had come here, she was even more upset.
She felt it was hard to breathe, her chest tight.
The difficulty in breathing made her belly ache.
Emelia spoke softly on the side.
Chapter 11
"Luke has a fever. Pierce and I came with him to see the doctor. Unexpectedly, we just turned around, and he was gone.
"Coincidentally, we met you here, Ms. Cruise. What are you going to do?"
Emelia implicated that Sophia had abducted the child.
Sophia sneered.
She said angrily, "It was him who crashed into me by himself. I didn't even touch him.
"Surveillance video is a good thing. Please have some common sense. Go and take a look at it before slandering me."
12:45
Chapter 11
Emelia's face stiffened, and her crying stopped.
She seemed to have forgotten that there was a surveillance video, and her previous accusation could be disproved at any time.
Emelia was about to say something to fix the situation when she saw Sophia turn around with her bag and walk away. Pierce frowned and hurriedly handed the child to Emelia.
"Wait here for me."
He hurried after Sophia.
He could not describe his mood. He felt uneasy about Sophia's recent unusualness and the subconscious changes in his mind.

When he chased after her, Sophia was waiting outside for the
car.
Pierce stood there with a complex expression, his tone cold.
"Why did you come to the hospital? Are you sick?"
Sophia gave him a strange look.
Just now he said she was following him, and now he was concerned about her health.
Sophia felt Pierce was nosy.
Of course, she wouldn't let Pierce know about her pregnancy.
She said casually, "Just to visit a friend."

Pierce didn't know who her friends were anyway.

"Where have you been staying the last few days? Why haven't you been home?"
Sophia cast him a calm glance, her voice indifferent.
"What's it got to do with you? Since I moved out, you can let your new lover and illegitimate child move in to live with you."
Pierce's eyelids twitched. He was clearly angered.
Sophia chuckled unconcernedly.
"I forgot it. You have so many properties. How can you possibly

let them live in a second-hand one? It's not like you have to hide them."
Pierce suppressed his anger, his voice icy and hard.
"I always thought you were a nice person. I did not expect that you would not even tolerate a child."
Sophia's heart trembled as she clenched her hands tightly.
She thought, "Tolerating his child with someone else?
"It's easy for him to say that. Am I petty just because I can't tolerate his illegitimate child? Is it also my fault?"
Sophia smiled coldly.
"Pierce, I don't want to say more about it. You've seen the

divorce papers. Don't bother me with anything other than the divorce proceedings."
The car stopped beside her.
Sophia glanced at the license plate number, got into the car, and closed the door.
She didn't even glance at him.
She thought, "How ridiculous! Does he think I should take care of his mistress and illegitimate child?
"Am
I that abject?"
Pierce sensed Sophia's cold attitude. His face was calm, but his heart trembled slightly.

Chapter 11
He hadn't told her that it was the PR Department that had spread rumors about her.
Yet she probably wouldn't believe it even if he said it.
Pierce felt he was losing something, and he had a sense of powerlessness because he couldn't grasp it.
Emelia came up from behind him with the crying child in her
arms.
She said carefully, "Luke's crying again. Is he still having a fever?"
Pierce came out of his trance, his face still cold. He turned around and gently stared at the cute child.
"Don't worry. The doctor can deal with it."
Chapter 11
Emelia smiled with a pale face and looked at him cautiously.
"I saw your divorce papers, Pierce. Will you get a divorce?"
Pierce's smile faltered, his eyes instantly turning sullen. He looked at her icily.
"No. She'll always be my wife."
Emelia's blood ran cold. She forced a stiff and fake smile.
"That's good. Otherwise, I'd really be upset and blame myself."
Pierce said nothing.
He carried Luke inside.

Emelia dropped her eyes, coldness and unwillingness crossing her soft eyes.
Pierce didn't want a divorce, so she had to deal with Sophia.
Sophia went back.
After that, she received several text messages from an unfamiliar number. They were nothing more than intimate photos of Emelia and Pierce, insults about her having no children, and so on.
Sophia naturally knew who had done it.
She saved all the text messages. She could use them as proof of Pierce's affair.
Sophia had been having fun with Sandra all this time. After relaxing all of a sudden, she was in a better state than before.

Yet she didn't expect to see Emelia.
Sophia looked away and took out a lipstick from the bag to fix her makeup.
She pretended not to know Emelia.
Emelia looked at the gorgeous Sophia, feeling jealous,

"Ms. Cruise, I didn't expect you to be quite fun-loving. Pierce and I are here to socialize. Do you want to go say hello to him?"
They had already socialized together. Sophia knew Emelia was showing off. She smiled indifferently and looked at Emelia's affected face in the mirror.
Sophia said coolly, "If you're really capable, get Pierce to divorce me, or don't mess with me unless you want a beating."
*Sophia gave a blunt warning, coldly glanced sideways at
Emelia's stiff face, and turned to leave.
A piece of paper fell out of her bag. She didn't notice it and just walked away.
Emelia, however, bent down and picked up the piece of paper. It was a medical report. Emelia's face changed immediately after she saw the contents clearly.

Sophia was pregnant.

Emelia clutched the report tightly, her inner turmoil instantly becoming stronger and her nervousness reaching its peak.
She breathed heavily, thinking, "If Pierce knows that Sophia is pregnant, all my efforts will be in vain.
"Luke and I won't be able to enter the Clement family."
Emelia's eyes flashed with a hint of viciousness.
She couldn't let anyone stand in her way.

Sophia returned to the private room. Everyone else had drunk enough.

Sandra said goodbye to her friends while Sophia went outside to wait for Sandra and the designated driver.
Sophia stood at the intersection, the streetlight around her dim.
Emelia sat in her car, staring surly at Sophia standing there.
Sophia was smiling softly, one hand over her belly as if looking down and saying something to the baby in her belly.
Driven by the surging anger and fierceness, Emelia clutched the steering wheel tightly, her gaze somber and vicious. Her mind was filled with a crazy idea. She was going to hit Sophia and her baby to death.
Emelia thought, "I can't let Sophia and her baby become a stumbling block. As long as I kill them, no one can snatch

Pierce from me.
"All this is supposed to be mine.
"Sophia, go to hell with your child.

Emelia tensed, gritted her teeth, and stepped hard on the gas.
"Go to hell!" she murmured inwardly.
As soon as Sophia looked up, she felt a harsh light from the opposite side, and she couldn't even open her eyes.
Then, a grating sound rang out, and a car sped toward her.
In that instant, her mind went blank, her hands and feet turning cold.

The moment the car hit Sophia, she saw who was driving it.
It was Emelia.
The sharp noise broke the silence in the night.
Then there was a big colliding sound.
Sophia was sent flying and landed heavily on the ground.
She instantly felt terrible pain all over as if her whole body had been crushed, and then her belly ached badly.
Warm liquid ran out from between Sophia's legs as if something was slowly leaving her body.
Her heart contracted violently as fear and excruciating pain

tortured her.
Sophia couldn't even move, feeling she was abandoned by the world.
She wanted to cry out, "Save my baby!"
Sophia had decided to raise this child alone.
However, at that moment, the baby in her belly was ruthlessly injured, and she was going to lose it.
There was nothing Sophia could do, tears flowing down her face along with the blood.
She couldn't say a word in pain. In the harsh cold light, she was surrounded by a strong smell of blood, her vision getting blurry.

Sophia seemed to have heard Sandra's hysterical and panicked cries.
The noise grew smaller and smaller...
Soon, Sophia passed out.
