Sandra said after a pause, “Good to hear that. If you were to bear it, I’d look down on you!”
Then she walked over to help Sophia pack her things briskly.
It was silent for a moment.
Sandra turned around and held Sophia soothingly.
“Great to have you back. Stop loving that bastard.” .
Sophia’s eyes suddenly turned red.
She was blinded by love and wasted too much time on Pierce.
“I will,” Sophia promised to Sandra and herself.
She took a deep breath and repressed all her emotions.
The next day, the sky was cloudy
The air was sultry.

Chapter 88
Sophia stopped being Pierce’s dignified and decent wife and chose an off–the–shoulder long green dress she hadn’t worn in three years, which made her look attractive with fair skin.
Sandra drove Sophia to the courthouse, and the two waited in the car at the door.
However, Pierce didn’t come.
Sophia called Pierce three consecutive times, but he didn’t
answer.
Looking at the rejected calls, she dialed the number of a reporter who had a good relationship with the Clement Group.
Sophia calmly smiled without preamble, “I have photos of Pierce’s infidelity. Do you want them for free?”
The reporter was taken aback. Then he said some perfunctory words in response and hung up.
Sandra gave Sophia a thumbs up
Sophia ran her fingers through her hair.
She casually said to Sandra, “Wait a moment. He’ll come soon. By the way, what’s new lately?”

Sandra thought for a moment and smiled.
“The Cruise Group launched a world–shaking bionic technology last month and dominated the market all over the world.
Everyone said that your family seemed low–key, but you were fabulously wealthy!”
Hardly had Sandra’s voice faded away, Sophia received a call from Pierce.
She sneered. Sure enough, only this way would work.
Sophia calmly answered the phone and heard Pierce’s cold, angry voice.
“Sophia, don’t overestimate yourself. Even if you have got something on my family, who dares to release it?”
Sophia knew that no reporters could afford to offend the powerful Clement Group.
But she couldn’t end her marriage and leave if she didn’t do this.
She chuckled, her voice indifferent.
“Mr. Clement, I’ve been waiting for you at the courthouse. I had no choice because you didn’t show up.”

Pierce fell silent for a moment.

He said in a frigid voice, “I don’t have time to play this game with you. You’d better come to work on time, or I’ll fire all the useless people under your command.”
Then he hung up the phone.
Sophia stiffened. Pierce implicated the innocent employees because he didn’t like her.
She asked Sandra to go back, then took a taxi to the Clement Group.
The people in the group were surprised to see Sophia. They didn’t expect her to come back so soon, and she looked more radiant than before.
Sophia took the prepared divorce agreement and resignation letter to Pierce’s office.
All she wanted was to leave in the shortest possible time.
Sophia pushed the door open without knocking on it.
She was stunned by what she saw.
Emelia, who looked slender and pitiful, sat next to Pierce.

The two of them were discussing something in a document with their heads down, appearing very close and intimate.
Sophia’s face darkened. She didn’t expect to
see Emelia there.
But on second thought, they already had a son, so it wasn’t surprising that Emelia could come.
Sophia’s arrival ruined their moment.
She spoke with haughty disdain.
“I planned to complete the divorce procedures before resigning, but it seems that I need to resign now.”
Pierce looked up at Sophia with a hint of indifference and estrangement in his eyes. His shirt was perfectly ironed, and he looked cold.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll fire all your people given what you did?”
Pierce knew that the people in the Secretary Department were all trained by Sophia, and Sophia was on good terms with them.
Sophia sneered, “I’ll take them away with me.”

Hearing this, Emelia withdrew her gaze. With a faint smile, she took out a gift box from the drawer and gave it to Sophia.
“Ms. Cruise, are you still angry about what happened yesterday?
“I’m really sorry. I heard that yesterday was your third wedding anniversary. Pierce was so busy taking care of me and our son that he forgot about it.
“This is the gift we chose for you. I hope you like it.”
Emelia walked over and whispered in Sophia’s ear, “Well.
“I have the same necklace.”
She deliberately provoked Sophia. Her voice dripped sarcasm as she stared at Sophia’s face.
Pierce and his mistress prepared a gift for Sophia.
And the necklace was the same as his mistress‘!
It was simply ridiculous!
Sophia couldn’t describe how she felt. It was like she stepped in

shit, making her stomach turn over.
She glared coldly at Emelia.
Suddenly, she raised her hand and knocked over the box in Emelia’s hand.
“Save your breath. Don’t be hypocritical.”
Emelia’s face turned pale as she looked pitifully at Sophia.
“I know you’re angry with me, but Luke is innocent. Can you accept him?”
As she spoke, tears streamed down her face.
“What are you doing?”
Pierce barked at Sophia and stood up with a gloomy face.
He was angry to see Emelia crying and the box thrown on the ground.
How dare Sophia bully Emelia in front of him?
Emelia, with tears in her eyes, pitifully grabbed Pierce’s arm.

“It’s understandable that Ms. Cruise gets angry. It’s okay if she doesn’t like the gift I chose. I just want her to treat Luke well. I don’t want to ruin your marriage.”
Pierce frowned at Sophia.
There was a wild look in his deep eyes.
