Chapter 198 193: Just Had to Hold It In
From the moment Sophia agreed to their clandestine relationship, Pierce had considered her as one of his own.
Our own people, every move had to be watched.
Otherwise, how would he know if she had broken up with that pretty.boy Owen as promised?
But upon seeing the photo, he squinted his eyes.
He had never held her like that, why should Derick?
The sharp, piercing pain in his chest reminded him again:
His relationship with her, and her relationship with other men, was just so unreasonable!
A massive wave of emotion enveloped him, so dense and suffocating that he could hardly breathe.
Seeing that his complexion was off, Kasen nearby quickly found his medicine and handed it over:
“Mr. Clement, you must try to understand, Ms. Cruise and Derick

are still married after all. They haven’t divorced yet, so even if we’re upset, we can only hold it in!”
Pierce, whose emotions had already somewhat calmed down, suddenly stood up with a cold expression.
With a “bang“, the file was slammed down in front of him.
On the table, on the ground, scattered all over.
Damn it, the cursed couple!
Kasen stood there, startled, his heart skipping a beat. He held the two pills in his hand, scared out of his wits:
“Mr. Clement, did you take your medicine first?”
Pierce clutched his chest, his head also beginning to throb faintly. He took a deep breath, picked up the medicine and swallowed it down.
Kasen hurriedly fetched water.
What a hot–tempered and weak president he was!
He quickly made excuses for himself again:

“Holding it in can lead to illness, Mr. Clement. You must try to let go. You haven’t even gotten over your last argument with Ms. Cruise at the hospital. Don’t let your impulsiveness add fuel to the fire…”
Kasen kept rambling on, fearing that Pierce might lose his temper and offend someone severely again.
Sophia used to be just Sophia, but now she is the young lady of the Cruise Group.
To want her to donate bone marrow, you also had to ask what the Cruise family thought!
So, Kasen felt from the very beginning that this was not going to work out.
It would have been better to rely on others!
Pierce’s face was cold and lifeless, slowly turning iron blue and dark, his eyes staring straight at Kasen.
“Why did you talk so much nonsense?”
Kasen instantly shut his mouth.
He picked up the item from the floor and placed it back on Pierce’s desk, then silently left.
Pierce’s eyes swept across, and he saw it again, the suppressed anger in his chest reignited, infuriating him to the point where he wanted to throw whatever was in his hand.
But suddenly stiffened, withdrawing the strength.
He had a string of reddish–brown beads in his hand, which he had been wearing all the time.
Pierce suddenly stopped.
I didn’t know how to describe the feeling at that moment. It was
like plunging headfirst into water, with my hands and feet bound, unable to breathe, my senses frozen, and the only thing coming at me was a helpless suffocation.
He wore the bead on his left hand, close to his heart, the violently beating heart gradually calming its rhythm.
Last time we parted at the hospital.
They never contacted again.
He didn’t know why Sophia hated Camille so much.
Was it Camille that was hated, or was it him?
Pierce had a vague feeling that something was being kept from him.
The Clement Group couldn’t find a person who could successfully match the type.
It could only begin to expand its scope, extending to its subsidiaries and branch companies.
But it took time.
Camille’s condition was getting worse day by day.
Even Kamden started to worry about something going wrong, and would go to the hospital every few days to check.
I didn’t know how they negotiated, but they actually started moving towards the Cruise family.
The news of Camille’s hospitalization did not spread, and few people outside knew about it.
Brycen and Cecilia also didn’t receive the message.
Kamden and Ava arrived with heavy gifts, both of them having a somewhat bad premonition.
However, due to past events, the Cruise family didn’t have much

fondness for the Clement family either, and this time they were just making a perfunctory show of politeness.
Pierce didn’t come.
Ava fully played the two–faced role, calling Cecilia ‘sister‘ at every turn. She was even more intimate than a real sister.
Cecilia, the acting powerhouse, was almost outdone.
Brycen was quite calm, looking at his impatient wife with a smile, dealing with the humble Kamden.
Kamden also felt a bit uncomfortable, coughing twice:
“I heard that you enjoy collecting ancient calligraphy and paintings. This is a genuine piece that I had someone specially gather for you. Please, appraise it.”
Brycen glanced, his brows and eyes unmoving, he chuckled and said:
“Mr. Clement is being too kind. Those are all rumors. I, who come from a humble background, wouldn’t know how to appreciate calligraphy and paintings.”
Kamden took over the conglomerate from old man Zhou, but it started going downhill as soon as he took over.
193: Just Had to Hold It In-
But Brycen had made it on his own. Although his background was not as noble as that of a prestigious family, he never shied away from his past.
After all, the wealth and power of the present far surpassed the second and third generations of the aristocracy who were idly living off their family’s fortune.
Kamden’s expression remained unchanged, he spoke with a smile:
“You were being modest, I…”
