Chapter 48: Struck Without Hesitation
Pierce’s eyes deepened a bit, with a slight glint, his thin lips tightly pursed.
He looked at Sophia, her face was unresponsive, indifferent and distant.
Sandra left with her.
Watching Derick persistently chase after it, Pierce was relieved.
His eyes were piercing as he stared at Derick, his voice chillingly intimidating:
“Mr. Woodward, stop coveting other people’s wives, otherwise, there will be a price to pay.”
Derick chuckled, fearlessly rebutting him:
“Ex–wife.”
The aura of the two was evenly matched, making it difficult to determine a winner.
Pierce dangerously narrowed his eyes, then slowly hooked up the corner of his lips:
“My ex–wife was also mine, you were just given a second glance by her because you bear some
resemblance to me, haha, a stand–in.”
He raised his eyebrows, revealing undisguised disdain.
Derick squinted his eyes for a moment.

A chill suddenly appeared.
He came here with serious matters to discuss, people were still waiting for him in the upstairs box.
Someone came down to invite him, and without hesitation, Derick turned around and left.
Pierce loosened his collar, sat where Sophia had just been sitting, his face dark and devoid of any joy
of victory.
Chad, who had been hiding in the corner, finally dared to come out.
“Bro, you were really brave, you said you would fight and you did!”
He quietly raised his thumb.
Even he hadn’t expected that a video he secretly filmed could elicit such a strong reaction from Pierce!
The scene just now, I thought he was going to eat someone!
Pierce took a sip from his wine glass, the spicy liquid flowing down his throat, he found it very bitter.
The scene he had just witnessed, every time he thought of it, he would inexplicably become angry.
He felt a sense of helpless frustration towards Sophia.
He wanted to make it up to her, but she didn’t give him any chance.
She could dance with Derick, be intimate together.
But even if he touched/her hand, she was repulsed.
She clearly wasn’t like this before.
She used to touch him delicately, would delight in his caresses towards her, and respond to him
fervently.

But such Sophia, was never seen again.
After a few drinks, Pierce’s eyes were tinged with a hint of crimson.
“She ignored me.”
Chad laughed and said, “Isn’t that normal?”
Pierce’s gaze was deep and dark, like an unfathomable sea, his voice hoarse and rough:
“I… regretted it.”
He should have handled Emelia and Luke in a better way.
Instead of directly devastating her self–esteem and feelings, he completely disappointed her.
Chad paused, turning his head to look at him, seemingly wanting to speak but stopping himself:
“Bro, regret is useless. If I were Sophia, I wouldn’t forgive you either!”
Pierce was such a jerk!
Thankfully, he wasn’t a woman, didn’t like him!
Pierce fell silent for a moment, the corners of his eyes tinged with
crimson.
Chad sensed something was off and turned to look at him.
Just watched him, with his imposing aura, wiping the crystal–clear liquid from the corner of his eyes…
Chad’s jaw dropped in shock:
“Bro, did you cry?”

He hastily took out his phone to record this memorable moment!
Pierce actually cried because of Sophia!
“No!” Pierce rebutted decisively.
Chad twitched the corner of his mouth:
“You’re done for, you’ve fallen in love with her!”
Pierce stiffened slightly, deeply furrowing his brows.
He didn’t believe he could fall in love with someone else.
Chad excitedly sent the photo to Sophia.
Ten minutes later.
Sophia replied with five words: “Send again and you’re blocked!”
Chad paused:
“I was wrong, sister!”
He spinelessly stood by Sophia’s side.
Suddenly felt that there was no hope for Pierce.
Pierce was still immersed in his own world, unable to help but talk to himself:
“What was Derick anyway, just a stand–in?”
I was her husband for three years, and she loved me deeply!
“She had every right to hate me, but her love for me was also real. I needed to take the initiative, for
she would forgive me as soon as her heart softened!”

Chad couldn’t help but interrupt him:
“Bro, stop dreaming, how could it be that simple?”
Pierce stood up confidently, looking down at him with a condescending glance:
“You knew nothing!”
He said and then strode out.
Chad paused, shaking his head.
He didn’t understand, but he knew he had to deal with this third party, Emelia, first!
Unfortunately, Pierce didn’t realize the key point.
Not many days ago.
Sophia went to Silvercrest to attend an international forum and instantly inspected a project.
Sophia arrived at the hotel with people, only to unexpectedly see Pierce there with people as well.
Different suites on the same floor.
She acted as if she hadn’t seen anything and returned to her room to pack her things.
Pierce’s gaze was dark, he seemed to want to speak but stopped himself.
Very quickly.
The doorbell rang.

Following Sophia’s female assistant Marilyn to open the door, I looked at the doorway in surprise:
“It was a rose, Ms. Cruise.”
But the person who gave the flowers had left.
There was a card inside.
Marilyn handed it to Sophia, who glanced at it, saw the three big, scrawly characters on it, and then
stuffed it back.
“Threw the flowers out.”
Marilyn paused, nodded, and then placed it in the trash can by the door.
They left the room five minutes later.
Coincidentally, Pierce and Kasen were also waiting for the elevator.
There were two suites and two elevators on each floor.
Marilyn couldn’t help but glance up at the elevator in their direction. Kasen coughed once, explaining:
“That, the elevator over there was broken.”
Pierce glanced at Sophia, looking at the abandoned roses in the corner, his chest feeling tight.
“Didn’t like roses?”
His voice was deep.
Sophia looked at him, and after a few seconds, she opened her mouth with a tug at the corner, bluntly:

“Didn’t like the roses you gave.”
Before he got divorced, he had never given her flowers.
Even the gifts were chosen by Kasen on behalf of others.
After the divorce, she surprisingly received roses twice.
She just found it amusing.
Pierce’s face darkened a few shades, so angry, but he had to hold it in!
The elevator had arrived.
Pierce was waiting for Sophia to go up, no one else moved.
Sophia didn’t want to go with him, but he acted as if no one should go if she didn’t.
She could only go in.
Pierce also went in.
Just as Kasen was about to enter, Pierce blocked him and Marilyn.
“You guys go on the next one, the elevator can’t fit everyone.” Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Marilyn widened her eyes, looking at the empty elevator that could accommodate more than twenty
people, feeling greatly puzzled.
Kasen: “……
The meeting continued until it ended in the evening.
The sky had already turned pitch black.
The venue was not far from the hotel, Sophia planned to walk back.

Marilyn and Aylen followed her. Marilyn, who had just graduated not long ago, was Aylen’s younger
sister. She was cheerful and always chattering non–stop.
Sophia responded from time to time, showing no impatience, but rather finding it interesting.
The three hadn’t gone far when Aylen heard a noise from behind. She stepped forward and whispered:
“Mr. Clement was following behind.”
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth.
Did he take the wrong medicine?
What a persistent party pooper!
Ahead was an open–air barbecue stall, with many people noisily chatting, laughing, and drinking.
Sophia glanced, her gaze suddenly faltering.
In the crowd, there was a woman with black curly hair, flirting familiarly among a group of men.
She stiffened all over, feeling a chill rise from the soles of her feet.
The black mole on the side of that woman’s chin instantly reminded her of the moment the car accident
occurred.
Her hair stood on end in an instant-
