Chapter 70: She Had Evidence
Pierce stared at her with cold, gloomy eyes:
“The result proved it wasn’t her, you were wrong.”
“What, how could this…” Emelia couldn’t believe it, biting her lower lip:
“Did you coax me just to favor her? Was she nning to burn me to death?”
Tears fell from her eyes like beads off a broken string.
Pierce’s air pressure had gradually dropped several degrees, his voice low and cold:
“She got all the evidence of you bribing the waiter to set a fire at the party. If you want to make a big
deal out of it, go ahead.”
A single sentence left Emelia instantly speechless.
Her face turned paler and paler, her expressions changing several times within a few seconds, barely
able to contain the shock and fear in her
eyes.
In the end, she tightly gripped Pierce’s arm, her lips trembling as she said:
“I…I won’t make a fuss/anymore, Pierce, please help me. I just wanted to stand up for my aunt, my
aunt–”
She rambled on, finding all sorts of excuses, only to discover that Pierce’s eyes seemed to be veiled
with ayer of frost, cold to the bone.

She swallowed, her heart suddenly copsing like a cliff.
Pierce pinched her hand, moving it away from his arm with an action that was extremely indifferent and
impersonal.
He stared at her with a cold and gloomy expression, his tone filled with warning and severity:
“Emelia, don’t cause trouble here, this is yourst chance.”
He dropped that sentence, without any further expression, and turned to leave.
Emelia watched Pierce’s retreating figure with a fearful and apprehensive gaze.
No wonder Sophia dared to scheme against her, she had already held her evidence in hand!
Her expression changed several times, but in the end, she reluctantly swallowed her pride.
Emelia’s biological son was found, discovered from a secret private welfare home. The child was
healthy, the only w being that he couldn’t speak.
After Pierce had a paternity test done, which proved that he was Darion’s child, he allowed the child to
be brought back.
Meanwhile, the investigation also rified Emelia’s situation working in a foreign dance troupe, which
was indeed not as clean as rumored.
However, for the sake of Joshua Clement, he did not fuss over other things.
This was hisst chance for Emelia.

A few dayster, Sophia was discharged from the hospital.
Derick deliberately sent flowers to thepany to congratte.
Sandra, who happened toe to see Sophia, saw it and couldn’t help but click her tongue a few
times:
“This Mr. Woodward, he really is sensible. He’s good–looking andes from a good family. The key is
that he’s willing to put in effort. I think you could give him a try.”
Sophia was making coffee in the office, her hair falling down as she lowered her head. Her side profile
was clean and radiant, a picture of peaceful years.
“I didn’t want to continue a rtionship anymore, being in a rtionship was too draining, making
money was much more satisfying!”
Sandra walked over with a smile:
“You’re right,” she said, “then give me all the good men in the world!”
Sophia couldn’t help butugh out loud:
“I heard your family arranged for you to have a blind date with Nn?”
As soon as this was mentioned, Sandra’s face instantly darkened, gritting her teeth in anger:
Nn had a steady girlfriend and it was rumored that they even had a child. However, the Morrison
family did not approve at all. They even came to my house to propose a marriage, stating they would
absolutely not acknowledge the mother and child from outside.
Did you really take me for a fool? I could find anyone, why would I choose such a jerk?

“If Nn really had the guts, I would have respected him as a man if he had left the Morrison family
and married that woman directly. Now it seems, he’s just a wimp”
Sophia brought over the coffee, soothing his emotions:
“Alright, they didn’t disagree, did they? It’s no big deal. The Morrison family used to be arrogant
because of Pierce.”
A while ago, when Pierce neglected him, the Morrison family began to decline. Now that they had just
recovered, they couldn’t help but start looking for objects of marriage alliance.
“Simply, it was just about wanting more options.”
Sandra sneered, unable to resist mocking:
“Who would ever consider Nn a suitable match? He’s really a toad dreaming of eating swan meat!”
She paused, suddenly remembering something, and looked at Sophia:
“I heard that Pierce brought back another son from abroad, this time it’s probably true. He protected the
child very well, hardly showing his face.”
Sophia gave a nonchntugh, appearingpletely indifferent:
“What does it matter to us whether it’s true or false? Anyway, I don’t want to get involved in that mess
again.”
She shrugged her shoulders, slowly savoring the coffee.
The phone suddenly rang.
It was Derick.

“Sophia, did you know Dean Jacob Floris?”
“Knew”
“I wanted to ask for your help in making a rmendation. I’m currently at Dream‘ bar, are you
avable?”
Derick rarely spoke, and when he did, it was always so solemn. Of course, Sophia wouldn’t refuse.
“Alright, I was on my way immediately.”
Sophia stood up, holding the clothes.
“Shall we go, have a drink at the bar?”
Sandra hadn’t reacted yet, her brows furrowed:
“Did Derick know what Dean Jacob was doing? Was he interested in the hospital?”
Sophia frowned, “He was involved in medical equipment abroad, there must be room for cooperation.”
Sandra nodded, still feeling a bit strange, but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it.
Two people had the driver take them to the “Dream” bar.
The sky hadn’tpletely darkened yet, there weren’t many people inside, but it was somewhat quiet.
In the booth at the northwest corner, Derick was sitting alone, watching the male singer on stage
singing folk songs.
The half–light, half–shadow cast on his face, plunging half of it into darkness, made him look somewhat
intimidating, unattainable.

But it seemed as if he sensed her gaze. He turned his head, a softness spilling from his eyes and
brows, and then he stood up.
Sophia and Sandra walked over, and the bar owner immediately came over with a smile to greet them:
“Ms. yton has arrived, was the upstairs box prepared for you?”
Sandra often spent money here, so naturally, she had a reserved booth.
She nced at Sophia, Sophia swept a look and said with a smile:
“No need, just here is fine.”
The location of this booth was very good.
Derick greeted Sandra and then, with a smile, asked Sophia to sit down.
“Director Jiang will be here soon, it will be more natural if you stay here.”
Sandra couldn’t help butugh as she spoke:
“Mr. Woodward, an international president, would you be embarrassed to discuss such a small
business? You clearly just want an excuse to see our Sophia, don’t you?”
Derick lowered his head and smiled, his silence signifying eptance.
Sandra winked at Sophia.
Sophia gave her a helpless nce, opening her mouth with a smile:
“Mr. Woodward had helped me a lot, I was extremely pleased.”
Derick looked at her with gentle eyes:

“Sophia was my benefactor, I would definitely treat her well when she came to my country in the
future.”
But no one took this statement seriously.
Dean Jacob came, he knew Sophia, so he was more enthusiastic when he saw her.
“Ms. Cruise, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Sophia smiled and extended her hand for a handshake in the past.
“Mr. Woodward said you wereing, and I thought it’s been a long time since west met, so I
decided to join in the fun. I hope you don’t mind,”
“How could this happen? If I had known Ms. Cruise wasing, I would have chosen a quieter
restaurant. Mr. Woodward was too careless…”
Derick looked at Sophia andughed:
“She didn’t mind.”
