Chapter 12
People rushed out of the clubhouse and surrounded the scene.
The ambulance quickly pulled over.
After handing Sophia over to the doctor, Sandra stood up, ran toward the car, picked up a brick, and smashed it hard against Emelia’s windshield.
Emelia trembled in terror.
The windshield was broken. Sandra opened the door from the inside, yanked Emelia out of the car by her hair, kicked her, and slapped her face.
The sound was crisp and loud.

Sandra tugged at Emelia’s hair and gritted her teeth with great hatred.
“Do you know who she is? How dare you hit her!”
Emelia came to her senses with a pale face. She suddenly pushed Sandra away, lunging for Pierce, who was coming over.
Emelia shuddered and threw herself into his arms, crying in
terror.
“I didn’t mean to do that, Pierce. It was so dark. I didn’t see anyone there…”
Pierce frowned at the chaotic scene, his face surly.
He had come out just in time to watch the paramedics carry the stretcher into the ambulance.

When he saw the puddle of dark red liquid on the floor, his brow twitched, and he had a bad feeling.
Sandra looked coldly at them with hatred in her eyes.
“Pierce, Emelia, you’ll get what you deserve.”
She cursed and jumped straight into the ambulance.
Pierce was somehow extraordinarily anxious.
He wanted to follow Sandra and have a look, but Emelia hugged him tightly.
“Help me, Pierce. I really didn’t mean to do that…”
Pierce’s face turned cold as he pushed her away.

“I just got back from abroad, so I’m not used to the way of driving in our country. Besides, it was too dark to see anyone standing over there. Pierce, Luke can’t live without a mother…”
As Pierce heard her mention Luke, his face softened, and he seemed to have suppressed his emotions.
He was silent for a few seconds before patting her on the shoulder.
He said soothingly, “I see. I’ll have a lawyer help you. Don’t worry.”
Emelia cried and laughed with joy and hugged him once again.

“Thank you, Pierce. I knew you would help us.”
A flash of heaviness passed through Pierce. He restrained his anxiety and called Devan right away.
The police arrived quickly, as did Devan and the lawyer.
The police collected evidence.
After that, they asked Emelia, “Do you know the person you hit?”
Emelia leaned weakly into Pierce’s arms, shaking her head in fear and bewilderment.
“It was too dark to see anyone.”
Pierce waited for the police to finish questioning before

“Ask how much they want, and try to smooth things over.”
Devan nodded and then accompanied Emelia to the police station with the lawyer.
Inside the hospital.

The doctor came out of the emergency room with a gloomy face.
“We can’t save the child. Get the patient’s family over here.”
Sandra stood in shock at the emergency room door and took out her phone in a panic.
She cried on the phone, “Brycen, something happened to

Devan and the lawyer took Emelia away from the police station on bail to Pierce.
The police went to the hospital with Devan to discuss compensation with the victim.
But when they arrived, only Sandra and the lawyer were waiting at the hospital.
Devan felt Sandra looked familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he had seen her before.

Sandra looked at Devan and sneered, throwing the hospital’s medical report in front of Devan.
“You guys want to negotiate? Emelia killed Sophia’s child with Pierce. Ask him how he is going to handle this.”

Devan took the report in a panic, and his face turned grave.
Without saying anything, he went out to make a call to report the incident.
Sophia was pregnant, but none of them had known it.
Emelia hit Sophia and caused her miscarriage. This matter was even more difficult to deal with.
But when Devan called Pierce, there was no answer.
Devan thought, “It’s over.”
Pierce was putting Luke to sleep, so he muted his cell phone.

When Emelia returned, she cried intermittently for half the night. Pierce couldn’t get away until dawn.
By the time Devan reached Pierce, it was noon the next day.
Pierce’s voice was tired, hoarse, and impatient.
“Have you solved the matter?”
Devan was silent for a moment. “I can’t negotiate without the victim’s presence.”
“Where is the victim? Was she seriously injured? Give her more money.”
Pierce’s voice was deep and cold
Devan paused. “Mr. Clement, the person Ms. Wilson hit was
Mrs. Clement, and…”
He gritted his teeth and spoke frankly.
