Arrived at the hotel.

Aylen and Marilyn had escorted Sophia to the door of the room.

"Ms. Cruise, you were injured, you should go home and rest first. Mr. Cruise was also worried about you."

Sophia laughed a little, glancing at her own arm:

"The meeting tomorrow was quite important, so I decided to leave the day after tomorrow. You were to stay for the next two days." Originally, Kylan was going to bring her back immediately, but she pleaded and managed to buy herself an extra day.

The itinerary that was originally set, cannot be abandoned halfway.

Aylen responded, "Let's have dinner sent to your room later."

"Good."

Sophia didn't refuse. After the nervous excitement, she was indeed a bit hungry.

Marilyn excitedly bought a lot of local snacks and brought them back, and Sophia happened to taste some after taking a bath. When about to fall asleep, I saw a message from Derick.

"See you tomorrow."

He had always been a man of few words, which meant he had also arrived.

Sophia didn't respond, she hung up the phone and prepared to sleep.

The next day.

Sophia's arm was injured, but she was able to cover it up with a neat jacket during the meeting.

She sat in the front row, as the only woman in the front row, she naturally attracted attention.

Pierce was seated on her right side, possibly a position he had arranged

on purpose.

In the conference room.

He looked at her charming and radiant profile, an indescribable emotion

in his heart, only feeling increasingly soft.

In the rather serious meeting room, everyone could only hear the speech from the person on the stage.

Pierce, however, was distracted, constantly wanting to turn his head to pay attention to the woman next to him.

Sophia didn't even blink, ignoring his gaze as if it was nothing, just staring at the person on stage, maintaining a smile. They all had tea at their hands, but Sophia hadn't touched hers.

Not long after, Pierce gave a few instructions to the assistant behind him, who quickly brought over a cup of coffee.

Pierce didn't drink himself, instead he handed it to Sophia.

This scene instantly attracted the attention of the people behind.

They all knew about the relationship between Pierce and Sophia.

It was such a mess online, everyone thought they were at each other's throats, incompatible as water and fire. Yet, Pierce's gaze never left Sophia, and now he's even offering her coffee? Sophia had no reaction, but Pierce didn't take his hand back either.

After a few seconds of stalemate, she noticed that even the person speaking on stage had slowed down their speech, focusing on them.

Sophia pursed her lips, naturally taking the coffee from Pierce's hand.

Pierce's eyes softened a bit in an instant.

Look, how moved she was!

As long as he persisted, she would see his sincerity.

Everyone watched this short gossip for a few minutes, and countless thoughts had already flashed through their minds.

Not long after, there was a break halfway through the meeting.

Many people quickly gathered around Pierce to make small talk.

Sophia took the opportunity to leave.

Derick's flight was delayed, he handed his luggage to his assistant and went to the venue himself.

As soon as he entered, he glanced around and happened to see Sophia taking medicine in the corner.

His brows furrowed slightly as he strode past.

"What happened, were you injured?"

His voice was warm and deep, filled with concern.

Sophia paused, looked up at him, and gave a small laugh:

"Mr. Woodward, it's nothing, why did you suddenly come here?"

She didn't remember that his field also involved domestic political projects.

Derick lowered his gaze, letting out a soft chuckle:

"It wasn't difficult to understand, it was just concern for you."

There was more to his words, but Sophia didn't catch on. Her eyebrows furrowed slightly:

"That's perfect, let's switch places then!"

She sat there, simply unable to bear it any longer.

Pierce's gaze was glued to her as if he was under some strange spell.

Since he learned the truth about Emelia's child, his attitude towards Sophia had changed significantly, even surprisingly. 17:1

However, in her view, this initiative was truly a futile effort, annoying.

She had long given up amidst countless despair.

Pierce's feelings were nothing more than resentment, he couldn't bear the thought that she might be better off without him. Derick raised an eyebrow, readily agreeing, "Alright."

The second half began.

Pierce barely left his seat, he had prepared hot coffee and dessert for Sophia, eagerly waiting for her return.

A few minutes later.

Someone finally sat down next to me.

When Pierce passed the coffee, he saw the person beside him and his fa instantly darkened.

"Was it you?"

Derick hooked up the corner of his lips, his eyes cold and indifferent, meeting his gaze:

""It was me."

Pierce's gaze suddenly sharpened, he was just about to stand up to replace someone, when Derick sneered lightly, speaking in a low voice:

"I advised Mr. Clement to save some face for himself. After all, Ms. Cruise took the initiative to switch seats with me, who was she trying not

to see?"

Pierce's brows furrowed deeply, his aura instantly shrouded in a thick gloom.

The meeting hadn't ended yet when Pierce left early.

Everyone was regretting not being able to see the second half of the interaction between this former married couple.

Sophia sat there, quickly learning the reason for Pierce's departure.

Emelia was stabbed.

When Aylen relayed this message to her, his expression was somewhat

grave:

"Ms. Cruise, I heard from the doctor that Emelia's injury is similar to yours, but it's even more serious."

Sophia raised an eyebrow, laughing casually:

"When did the heavens finally open their eyes?"

She hadn't even started yet, and someone had already done it for her?

Aylen pursed her lips, "There was a patient's family member causing a scene in the hospital at that time. Emelia went over to watch the commotion, and ended up in trouble." "Serves you right."

Sophia chuckled lightly, feeling no ripples in her heart.

Aylen thought for a moment, then spoke:

"Emelia was there, crying, claiming that you had someone lay hands on her because you hated her!"

Upon hearing this, Sophia laughed:

"She really never wanted to let me go, did she!"

Her eyes deepened a bit, she tugged at the corner of her lips, without any superfluous expressions.

On the way back.

Derick was on the phone, words like "injured", "hospital", "money" were coming from the other end.

Sophia, originally somewhat confused, gradually came to clarity.

After he had hung up the phone, she asked him:

"Was it you who hurt Emelia?"

Derick looked at her and just smiled:

"She bullied you, I just gave her a little lesson."

Sophia blinked, her lustrous, cool eyes revealing a hint of complexity.

He had known about her injury for a long time.

Did Derick rush over and leave with her just to stand up for her?

For a moment.

She suddenly let her guard down a bit towards this person she had alway been wary of.

Being protected like this by someone, the feeling was really nice.

In the hospital.

Emelia cried her heart out, the wound stitched on her arm was simply unbearable.

How could she be so unlucky!

Seeing Pierce come in, she couldn't help but cover her face and cry again. The surrounding doctors looked at each other, carefully not daring to make a sound. Pierce looked at the messy scene, feeling somewhat irritated.

Comparing to last night when Sophia was injured and medicated without shedding a single tear, he seemed to feel more heartache for Sophia in his heart.

"What happened?"

His tone was heavy.
