Sophia had mixed feelings.
She thought, “It turns out that Pierce will be anxious too.
“He will only be anxious because of Emelia’s child.
“He decisively agreed to divorce without any reluctance or nostalgia.
“He probably can’t stand me any longer.
“It seems the death of the child might not be a bad thing for
him.”
Pierce looked cold and vaguely worried.
They arrived at the courthouse. There was no one in front of them, so they didn’t need to line up.
Later, a few people came in.
Sophia quickly signed her name and saw Pierce holding the pen with hesitation.

She glanced back and gave a wink.
The two men behind her suddenly stepped forward.

One pressed Pierce’s shoulders so that he couldn’t move, and the other held Pierce’s hand and forced him to sign his name.

The pen was pressed down so hard that it almost cut through the paper.
Pierce suddenly got up to resist, threw the pen away, and gnashed his teeth in anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing.
“Sophia…”
He thought, “How dare she!
“Why is she so eager to leave me?
Sophia calmly handed the signed document to the staff member, smiling gently, “We’ve signed it.”
Seeing this, the staff member did not say anything more and quickly gave her the divorce decree and a copy of it.
Sophia took it and said thank you before standing up and looking at Pierce.

“Where’s Luke?”
Sophia smiled, her face nonchalant.
“Your son is lost. What has it got to do with me? Go to the police.”
Pierce’s expression went cold.
His phone rang. It was Emelia calling.
“Pierce, I found Luke. The nanny took him out and came back just now.”
Pierce frowned tightly, his eyes gloomy.
He thought, “It’s too much of a coincidence.

“Sophia couldn’t have colluded with the nanny I arranged, so she was lying to me just now.
“Emelia…”
Pierce was suspicious, but he felt Emelia couldn’t have contacted Sophia.
He had no time to think too much.
He watched Sophia get into the car with the strange men and leave.
Pierce felt as if something was missing from his chest. He was indescribably upset, almost unable to suppress the strange emotion inside him.
Pierce thought, “Things went too fast.
“I clearly don’t want this.
“I want to live peacefully with Sophia, but how did we get divorced?
“According to what happened just now, Sophia was prepared.”
Sophia got in the car and sneered at the message she had

“He’s with me. I wonder whether he’ll be anxious if you tell him your son is lost.”
As a result, Emelia told Sophia a perfect answer and did her a favor.
But the matter wouldn’t end that way.
Sophia returned home in a cheerful mood.
Listening to the noise in the house, she darted inside.

Cecilia was back, telling the maids what to cook.
Sophia ran over and hugged Cecilia from behind.
“Mom, the most beautiful mom in the world, I missed you so much.”
Cecilia was over forty years old, but she maintained herself extremely well. She did very well in showbiz, looking like Sophia’s sister.
Cecilia had wanted to sternly lecture Sophia, but hearing Sophia’s sweet voice, she immediately softened.

“You cheeky girl. You didn’t wash your hands first after coming back. Be careful not to dirty my clothes.””

Cecilia complained, but her face was full of joy and love.
Sophia didn’t let go of Cecilia, pouting and clinging to her like a koala.
Kylan Cruise’s teasing laughter came from behind them.
“Mom, I think she’s doing it on purpose. You need to teach her a lesson.”

Sophia turned her head and saw Kylan, who looked graceful and unapproachable, standing there smiling at her. Sophia raised an eyebrow.
Sophia finally released Cecilia and ran over to hug Kylan.
“Kylan, what took you so long on your business trip?”
Kylan could do nothing while she hooked her arms around his neck and swayed him.
Sophia had been married for three years, but when she came back, she was still the same as before.
“I spent a few more days dealing with something tricky abroad. I brought you a gift.”

Kylan only had one sister, so naturally, he had pampered her since childhood.
Even in the three years she was not at home, he still put the gifts in her room as usual.
Sophia watched him take out two bags of the same style and different colors and hand them over.
“One for each.”
Such limited–edition customized bags cost millions of dollars each, and he bought two at once.
One was for his mom, the other for his sister.
Cecilia took it with a smile.
“I have many bags of this style. This one is just right for groceries. Thank you, son.”
Sophia and Kylan were speechless.
Before dinner, Sophia took out the divorce decree she .ad just gotten.
Cecilia glanced at it. Although she didn’t say much, she seemed to be in a much better mood.

“It’s never too late to learn from your mistakes. Your dad and I will always give you the best of everything.”
Brycen nodded. “The general manager’s position is for you. Go to the office tomorrow.”
Sophia paused and sighed, knowing she could not avoid it.
“No. Just let me train in a small company first. Otherwise, I can’t deal with people who go against me.”
Cecilia nodded and looked at Brycen, thinking.

“Then go to Eagle Entertainment in my name. I happen to need a helper.”
Brycen and Kylan certainly wouldn’t object.

Recently the Clement Group had suffered a lot of losses, and its every move was watched by the public.
On this day.
Sophia got a call from Bianca Clement, Pierce’s grandma.

It was the first time Bianca had called Sophia since she had rejected the Clement family’s calls.
Bianca treated Sophia the best when she married Pierce with nothing and was disdained by many people.
She thought for a moment and picked up the phone.
“Sophia, come to have a meal with me. Today is my birthday. I can’t celebrate it without you.”
Sophia paused. “Grandma, Pierce…”
She wanted to say, “Pierce and I are divorced.”
Yet before Sophia could finish her sentence, Bianca said in annoyance, “Pierce is too busy working to come back. If you don’t come too, I will be angry.”
Sophia pondered for a while before agreeing.
It was better that Pierce wasn’t there. She could take the opportunity to say goodbye to Bianca in person.
Sophia went to the safe and picked out an emerald pendant for Bianca as a gift.
It was an antique that Brycen had casually bought at an auction for seven figures. It was rare and beautiful. Brycen

brought it back and gave it to Sophia as a plaything.
She thought Bianca would like it.
Sophia then went to the walk–in closet to change. Cecilia always liked to have clothes from all the designer brands regularly delivered to Sophia’s walk–in closet.
Each set of them was couture.

After divorcing, Sophia naturally didn’t have to be so cautious about her dressing style.
She chose a white slim dress and went out with the bag Kylan gave her.
There were plenty of cars in the garage, more than a dozen cars in her name.
She drove a relatively understated Maserati out.

The Clement’s home was a garden–style classical mansion in a great and very expensive location. It covered an area of nearly 2,000 square meters, luxury and grand.
In the past, Sophia came over every week to chat with Bianca. Also, she accompanied Ava Werner, Pierce’s mother, here to play cards and drink tea. Ava would lecture her and urge her to have children.

The butler at the gate didn’t know her car. He stopped it, took a look, and hastened to let her in.
Sophia parked her car. Before she walked in, she heard laughter from inside. It was livelier than ever.
As soon as she went in, the laughter stopped.
Sophia had fair, tender skin and bright eyes, looking distant and attractive.
Add to that the recent gossip about the Clement family, and she became the center of attention.
Sophia glanced around and saw the small child in Ava’s arms.
At once, Sophia’s face changed slightly.
That was Emelia’s child.
