Chapter 125: Suffered a Great Loss
Annie had been playing the piano for so many years, just to sound impressive and to marry into a
respectable family in the future, so she wouldn’t have to worry about food and clothing.
How could she possibly be a piano prodigy?
She paused slightly, a few streaks of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and then she naturally smiled
and looked at Sophia:
“Playing the piano was for cultivating sentiment, not for those vulgar pursuits. Awards couldn’t explain
everything.”
Sophia couldn’t help but laugh:
“Cultivate character? I thought it was to acquire a skill, so I could marry into a wealthy family in the
future!”
She bluntly spoke out, making Annie’s face look even worse.
The smile on the face was almost unable to hold back.
The people around were also secretly enjoying the spectacle.
If Sophia had been easy to deal with, she wouldn’t have caused so much trouble for the Clement family
after the divorce.
Annie gritted her teeth, giving her a glare with a ghastly pale face.
Sophia laughed with a twinkle in her eyes, covering her mouth as if she had realized her slip of the
tongue, and said with a somewhat “tea- like” demeanor:
“Oh, Ms. Stapleton, don’t be upset, I didn’t mean to insult you, I was

just making a joke. You can take a joke, can’t you?”
She blinked her lustrous eyes, a clear smile playing between her brows and eyes.
She didn’t want to deal with Annie, who could blame her when this fly was constantly buzzing around
her?
She was not a patient character.
Wasn’t it just phony? She learned a lot from Emelia!
Annie was so angry that she was going crazy, tightly clenching her own palms.
Finally, with sour eyes, I looked at Pierce.
His eyes were filled with laughter as he gently lowered his gaze to Sophia beside him, seemingly
immersed in her radiant beauty that night, completely oblivious to the content of their conversation.
“Mr. Clement……”
Annie couldn’t help but remind him.
She came with a mission today, how could Pierce ignore her?
Pierce frowned, giving her a glance:
“Didn’t you hear her say it was a joke? Alright, disperse, the auction has begun.”
He looked down at Sophia, “Move to the front?”
Sophia didn’t even look at him, she just picked up her skirt and walked ahead.
There was a hint of indulgence in Pierce’s eyes.

Such a good boy/girl!
Seeing the way she confronted Annic, I couldn’t help but feel delighted. She must have been jealous.
Otherwise, how could he be so angry?
He couldn’t bear to make her jealous anymore!
They were clearly rushing towards each other!
Countless thoughts flashed through my mind for a moment.
But the auctioneer had already started introducing the collection.
Annie stepped forward, speaking in a low voice:

“Mr. Clement, as agreed, you owe me a gift as a reward,”
Pierce didn’t care about the money at all, he simply nodded and walked straight up.
Annie’s complexion improved instantly.
She walked into the crowd again, watching Sophia engrossed in the auction items, observing quietly
without any expression.
It was not until the last “Tears of the Ocean” that Sophia began to bid by raising her sign one after
another.
Annie’s eyes flickered slightly.
Her competitive spirit was aroused, but the price was indeed expensive.
The starting bid was twenty million.
The most expensive price for the previous collections was only twenty-

Thinking.
Pierce raised his sign: “Forty–five million!”
Everyone was somewhat shocked,
Did Pierce really spend so much money for Annie?
Annie was extraordinarily surprised, she didn’t expect that Pierce

There weren’t many participating in the bidding for this round.
However, two or three people also got involved
When the bidding reached forty million, basically only Sophin was lell
Annie’s expression was icy as she turned to look at Pierce, smiling subtly

She couldn’t help but glance at Sophia, with a hint of smugness in her
eyes.
Wanted to see her look of astonishment, unwillingness, and anger.
But there was nothing at all,
Sophia remained calm, even the corners of her mouth lifted slightly.
Strangely, somewhat… happy?
Annie looked unhappy, she must have been pretending!
The next second.
Sophia raised a sign: “Fifty million.”
Pierce continued to bid, “Fifty–five million.”
The two people seemed to be at odds, and the scene fell silent for a moment.
Sophia: “Sixty million.”
“Sixty–five million!”
Sophia: “Seventy million.”
“Seventy–five million!”
Pierce glanced at her casually, to him, this money was nothing more than a string of numbers.
Whether it’s worth it or not, depends on who it’s for.
Everyone felt the atmosphere in the venue gradually solidify.
Quite a few people felt some sympathy for Sophia as they looked at

her.
The ex–husband was bidding against his ex–wife for his current fiancée, it was utterly humiliating.
The bidding continued until Pierce’s “ninety–five million…”
Afterwards, Sophia finally made no more movements.
She didn’t continue to hold up the sign, instead, she glanced at Pierce with a smile playing at the
corners of her mouth.
Finally, the auctioneer brought down the hammer:
“The recipient of this Tear of the Sea was Mr. Pierce!”
The crowd applauded enthusiastically.
Afterwards, all the envious gazes fell on Annie.
Annie could hardly conceal her excitement, and couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.
Pierce went ahead to sign.
Annie leisurely walked up to Sophia with the demeanor of a victor:
“Sorry, Ms. Cruise, I didn’t expect that Mr. Clement would take away your beloved item for me. I guess
this is what true love is!”
Sophia couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile, glancing at her with amusement:
“Indeed, it was true love. Thank you all for bringing warmth to the impoverished areas.
Annie chuckled lightly, “You don’t have to force a smile like that…”

Before he could finish speaking, the auctioneer came down, excitedly shaking hands with Sophia: This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Ms Cruise, thank you for donating this “Tear of the Ocean‘. I really didn’t expect it to be auctioned off
for a staggering ninety–five million. It’s such a pleasant surprise.”
Annie’s face stillened slightly, her tone somewhat sharp:
“What? She donated?”
The auctioneer nodded. “Yes, thanks to Ms. Cruise for offering her collection, otherwise our earnings
today might not have been promising!”
Sophia gave an indifferent laugh:
“This gem was the least valuable item in my safe, purchased for twenty million. I was originally too
embarrassed to let others suffer a loss, so I planned to bid for it myself.”
“But who would have thought that Ms. Stapleton and Mr. Clement’s love was so overwhelming, it was
absolutely necessary!”
Annie’s face turned extremely ugly in an instant.
There was a feeling of being played.
She was indeed tricked by Sophia!
But luckily, there was still Pierce.
Pierce came down from the stage, with the service staff carefully holding the gift box behind him.
The server handed the items to Annie,

Annie had calmed her emotions, but before she had a chance to reach out, Pierce had already grabbed
it and shoved it into Sophia’s hand.
“It was for you, didn’t you like it very much?”
A smile lingered at the corner of his mouth as he looked at her with warmth and anticipation.
She must have been deeply moved!
Hurry and throw yourself into his arms!
