Chapter 63: Absolutely Necessary

Pierce’s eyes turned cold in an instant. When he glanced at her, there was a chill in his gaze.

Emelia looked, a slight tremor in her heart, unconsciously retracting her gaze.

Ava was reminded and also felt that it couldn’t be left like this.

“This time, I had to have that piece of clothing, absolutely had to!”

Pierce patted Ava’s arm, speaking softly:

“So, did you wear that dress because you knew my dad wanted to go to Mautiland?”

Ava’s face changed, “What?”

Her eyes jolted, and she abruptly pushed him off the bed:

“Why didn’t you say it earlier? He’s actually going abroad. He’s probably going to celebrate his ex–

wife’s birthday at this time. Why didn’t you say it earlier!”

Pierce supported her, his expression somewhat softened:

“Dad couldn’t, he had a business deal to discuss over there, and the business trip was arranged by the

company.”

But Ava had long stopped listening, the woman from Mautiland was a

thorn in her heart.

She couldn’t allow them to meet alone.

“Stop giving me that, it’s a shame you’re my son, only telling me about such an important matter now.”

Pierce pursed his lips, “I’ll take you home.”

Ava was already hurrying, wishing she could be home in a second.

And Emelia stood there in shock, with a slight sense of resentment in her heart.

Was this matter just easily brushed off like that?

Pierce lagged a few steps behind, casting a glance at her. Emelia’s expression immediately morphed

into one of grievance, as she carefully watched him.

“Pierce, I…”

“Before I found out about that child abroad, all you needed to do was take care of Luke.”

His voice was indifferent, devoid of any warmth.

This matter made him feel very uncomfortable, especially Emelia’s deliberate instigation of a dispute

between Ava and Sophia. The purpose was too obvious.

Emelia’s gaze flickered slightly, she hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and said:

“Luke wasn’t really Luke either, might as well send him to an orphanage…”

Since her identity had been exposed, she didn’t have much affection or patience for that child anymore.

Pierce gave her a complex and dark look, his thin lips pressed into a

straight line.

A few seconds later, he began to speak in a very soft voice:

“I had the secretary find someone to take care of it, you don’t need to worry anymore.”

As soon as he left, Emelia regretted it. It seemed she had noticed Pierce’s cold and distant attitude,

and she intuitively felt that she had made a terrible decision.

When Kasen had someone come to pick up Luke, Emelia just wouldn’t let go.

In the end, it was Kasen who called Pierce, explained the reason, and Pierce let people go.

Hadn’t said a word to Emelia.

She vaguely felt a sense of foreboding in her heart, which was somewhat creepy.

Private dinner party.

The banquet was not heavily attended, but those who did come were all wealthy and high–ranking

individuals.

Sophia and Derick arrived together, the two of them looking exceptionally well–matched.

Sparkle’s project was lost, but Sophia’s focus shifted to the new intelligent healthcare.

Coincidentally, the field Derick was involved in happened to include this, and he helped her strategize

and pointed her in a new direction.

The cooperation was achieved smoothly this time, and Sophia was also very grateful for Derick’s help.

The two people got along with even more understanding.

Sophia was introducing Derick to the people coming and going at the party. As everyone came over to

greet them, Derick naturally also gained a wave of resources.

“Ms. Cruise, it seems to me that you and Mr. Woodward are more than just friends. Mr. Woodward is

indeed lucky. After all, Ms. Cruise, you have caught the attention of many young talents!”

The other party joked ambiguously.

Derick said with a smile, “I wish I had that luck.”

Neither denied nor admitted.

Sophia chuckled to herself, seeing the message from Sandra saying she also wanted to join the fun,

she sent her location.

Glancing up, I saw Pierce approaching from not far away with a serious expression on his face.

It wasn’t surprising that Pierce could come.

After all, this circle was a tangled mess, a slight ripple would spread all over.

Pierce came over holding a cup, his eyes indifferent as he tugged at the corner of his mouth:

“What were you talking about that made you so happy?”

He glanced at Derick, his gaze lingered on Sophia for a moment, and finally settled on the speaking

boss.

The boss was also familiar with Pierce, and he began with a smile:

“I said Mr. Woodward was lucky, otherwise with so many young talents eyeing Ms. Cruise, it wouldn’t

have been Mr. Woodward’s turn.”

Secing Pierce’s face looking somewhat unwell, the boss suddenly thought of something and eagerly

asked him:

“When did you set your wedding date with Ms. Wilson? Don’t forget to invite me to the celebration!”

Pierce’s face grew even more gloomy:

Derick couldn’t help but laugh:

“If there really was good news, Mr. Clement must not have kept it to himself.”

Pierce watched Sophia’s calm, emotionless face from the side, and immediately felt uncomfortable

inside.

She rejected the Sparkle Project he offered, it turned out she already had a new goal, surprisingly

related to Derick.

A subtle, malicious jealousy spread within him, but he was completely unaware of it.

It was all because Derick, the stand–in, was too unaware, shamelessly sticking his face up time and

time again!

His voice was indifferent, “I’ve always been upright and honest, unlike Mr. Woodward.”

Derick: ”

Sophia glanced at him, said a few words with a smile that eased the

atmosphere, then put down her wine glass and said softly to Derick.

“I went to the restroom.”

Derick gave a slight nod.

From start to finish, she didn’t glance at Pierce once.

Pierce’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, his gaze dimming a bit.

The veins on his arm bulged slightly, the chill in his eyes no longer suppressed. He put down his wine

glass heavily, staring coldly at Derick:

“I told you to stay away from her, Derick. Didn’t you understand?”

Derick also calmly put down the cup in his hand, a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth:

“I’ve never been one to take discipline, was Mr. Clement being too meddlesome?”

“Ah, you guys…”

The boss next to him was somewhat unable to see the situation clearly.

Why did the atmosphere become tense and even smell a bit like gunpowder as soon as Sophia left?

With a seemingly amused yet not quite laughing expression, Derick looked at Pierce, showing no signs

of backing down from his icy aura.

“You were both divorced, you should have kept your distance, otherwise it would affect us being

together…”

Before he could finish speaking, Pierce, with a strong aura, stepped forward, his face gloomy as he

grabbed his collar, and swung a punch

at Derick’s cheek.

The scene suddenly became chaotic.

Derick also fought back without showing any weakness, the two of them going back and forth without a

clear upper hand.

Soon, both individuals had sustained injuries.

The person next to them came over, pulling them apart and began to mediate:

“What are you fighting for, how ugly it is, can’t you just talk things out nicely!”

“Yeah, Mr. Woodward was about to become Ms. Cruise’s boyfriend, and you, Mr. Clement, were still

her ex–husband. We’re all family here…”

After everyone had spoken, the two people fought even more fiercely!

They didn’t pull the two apart until their respective assistants came in.

Sophia had washed her face in the bathroom when she suddenly heard a noise at the door.

A waiter stood nervously outside.

“Ms. Cruise, Ms. Clayton was just taken away, she was taken to the booth at the end.”
