neglected, and everyone gossiped about her.
It was as if she would be driven out of Pierce's villa at any time.
However, Sophia had always believed that she wouldn't regret marrying Pierce.
She was pretty sure that she would become a qualified wife. Time would prove that Pierce had made the right choice, and he would notice and fall in love with her.
But right now, Sophia's confidence and determination seemed to have been shattered.
Standing on the stage, Pierce glanced coldly at the people around him, and the hall immediately quieted down.
"Thank you all for taking the time to attend my son Luke Clement's second birthday party amidst your busy schedule. He was photographed by the reporters and subjected to unfounded speculation. "To avoid causing harm to him, I'd like to formally declare that

Chapter &
he's my son with Sophia."
Hearing this, Sophia went blank. She looked up at Pierce with a stiff and gloomy expression, and her face turned pale.
The reporters at the door hadn't left yet.
So they heard what Pierce said.
Just now, Sophia firmly denied that Luke had anything to do with Pierce.
But now, Pierce admitted that Luke was his son.
Obviously, Sophia wasn't Luke's mother.
Sophia felt as if she was slapped in public. She felt color flame up in her cheeks in the scorching sun.
Today was their wedding anniversary!
Pierce might have forgotten what day it was today. He asked Sophia to come because he decided to claim his relationship with Luke at the party.
Sophia's nose twitched, and tears blurred her eyes. Pierce's declaration ruined the marriage she had worked hard to maintain and shattered her persistence and self-esteem. Chapter 8
Sophia took a deep look at Pierce, who was waiting for her to make a cooperative statement.
He left Sophia in a dilemma without caring about her feelings!
Sophia was burning with embarrassment, indifference, and humiliation.
Pressed and urged by Pierce's sharp and cold gaze, Sophia was heartbroken.
Pierce wanted Sophia to compromise.
Sophia found it ridiculous.
She finally realized that she could never let Pierce fall for her. She was too naive before, and now she had given up.
It was time to put an end to the farce.
Sophia took the microphone.
With a smile, she said slowly in a low voice, "Mr. Clement, there must be some mistake. I have nothing to do with this child. I also want to know who his mother is." The audience burst into an uproar and tacitly exchanged

glances.
Sophia looked Pierce in the eye and saw a glimmer of anger an forbearance in it.
Pierce knitted his brows and lowered his voice.
"Sophia, what are you doing? Don't you know how important this thing is? Did you forget your promise?"
Sophia once promised that as long as Pierce married her, she would act as his good wife and would never embarrass the Clement family.
With a sneer, Sophia suppressed her disappointment and withdrew her gaze indifferently.
"It's not that I make trouble out of nothing, but you push me too far!"
Her eyes were filled with disappointment and coldness. She decided to help Pierce for the last time, so she dropped her voice.
"Pierce, let's get divorced!"
Then Sophia threw the microphone onto the ground, turned around, and left.

The hall was silent.
Sophia married Pierce three years ago, and his son was already two years old.
In other words, Pierce wasn't busy with work in the past three years but took care of his real family.
He said he didn't like children, so he didn't get Sophia pregnant.
But it turned out he just didn't like Sophia's children.
Sophia had no idea of that like a fool and still tried hard to maintain her seemingly happy marriage.
She stopped at the door of the hall and looked back.
She saw Emelia comfort Pierce with Luke in her arms. Emelia's voice was gentle.
"Pierce, why did Sophia leave? Does she not like Luke?" Pierce replied in a frigid voice, "Leave her alone."

How ironic.
"Leave her alone."
Pierce's indifferent words seemed to have plunged Sophia i a bottomless abyss covered with ice and snow, bringing her silent agony.
He was heartless.
He thought Sophia took advantage of him.
Sophia was sensible enough to ask for a divorce, and Pierce could finally get rid of marital bonds.
She gave a short, derisive laugh with a hint of desperation and decisiveness in her eyes.
Sophia turned around and strode away without the least hesitation.
She admitted that she liked Pierce, but she had her limits.
She wouldn't let Pierce wound her pride without resisting.
000 000
It wasn't shameful to get a divorce. Instead, Sophia found it shameful if she helped to cover up the truth that Pierce cheated on her and had an illegitimate son. That was ridiculous! She would regain her sense of dignity herself.
Sophia went back home.
The villa was elaborately decorated with fine furniture. She hoped that Pierce could feel warm as soon as he came back.
At that moment, the huge villa was empty.
When Sophia came to think of it, Pierce just stayed for a day last month and hurriedly left.
But she was so surprised by his short visit that she was at a loss.
Pierce might have been with Emelia and their son for the past three years.
This realization made Sophia shiver in disgust.
She went upstairs to pack her things when she heard the

servant knock on the door.
"Mrs. Clement, Devan is here."
Sophia was stunned for a moment and walked out.
Pierce's assistant, Devan Reed, brought a suitcase with him. It seemed like he had just disembarked from the plane.
He handed over a jewelry box and a bouquet with a smile.
"Mrs. Clement, these are Mr. Clement's gifts for your third. anniversary."
Dumbfounded, Sophia looked up at Devan.
She suddenly remembered that she received all the anniversary gifts from Devan.
Pierce was celebrating his illegitimate son's birthday now.
How could he prepare these gifts for Sophia?
Sophia sneered and didn't reach out to take the gifts.
Disappointed, she could only admit that she was a loser.

"Pierce doesn't even remember what day it is today. Did you prepare these gifts?"
As soon as the words fell, Devan's smile stiffened. It seemed that he couldn't hold it anymore.
"Mrs. Clement..."
Devan's reaction spoke for itself.
Sophia set her mind at rest. She felt relieved to obtain the
answer.
She was joyful when she received those gifts before, but now she found it ridiculous!
She was so stupid that she didn't see anything wrong.
Sophia turned to go upstairs without saying anything more.
She took out her phone and wanted to call her family but hesitated.
Back then, she married Pierce despite the opposition from her family. She deserved it!
Sophia clicked on the news.

The internet was flooded with such information.
Sophia was the victim, but she was slandered!
Her hands were trembling. Her nose twitched, and tears fell on her hands.
She thought, "Pierce, how ruthless you are!

room.
Pierce lay beside Sophia and touched her soft skin with his cold. hand.

abdomen with her hands.
The air became stagnant in the dark.
The familiar yet strange light perfume, which was mixed with a faint smell of alcohol, suggested that it was Pierce.
Sophia was surprised by his appearance.
She thought about it. Perhaps he came back to get even with her for what happened today.
Sophia suppressed her bitterness and indifferently moved away.
The next second, warm light filled the room.
Pierce stood in front of Sophia, with a cold expression on his face. His icy gaze fell on her.
"Isn't that enough?"
Pierce thought Sophia made trouble out of nothing at the dinner party.
Sophia lowered her eyes to conceal her bitterness and forced a pale smile. Chapter 9

Pierce stared at Sophia with deep eyes, as if suppressing his
anger.
"You must be mad. You were afraid that Luke would threaten. your status, so you acted to catch my attention, right?"
He looked at Sophia's pale face and the shocked look in her eyes. Thinking that he had seen through her trick, he sneered.
"Listen..."
Before Pierce could finish his words, Sophia got out of bed and quickly went to the dressing room. She put on her coat and pushed out her suitcase.
Stunned, Pierce squinted his sharp eyes coldly. It seemed that Sophia would leave at any moment.
Sophia stood there in a windbreaker and looked indifferently up at Pierce.
Pierce always saw her at her worst.
"Pierce, if you don't go to get a divorce tomorrow, I will tell all the reporters about the sordid things your family did.".
Sophia knew what Pierce hated the most, so she forced him in
this way.
She was right.
Pierce's brows were scrunched together in anger.
But Sophia wasn't worried anymore.
She was no longer afraid of losing Pierce.
She calmly accepted the failure of her marriage and wanted to leave Pierce.
Sophia was sad, but she believed that it would all blow over.
She couldn't stay any longer.
So she pushed her suitcase and turned around to leave.
Pierce looked down at Sophia and grabbed her wrist with a scowl.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

The first month of autumn had just passed. It was still cold in the black night.
As soon as Sophia stepped out of the villa, her nose twitched, and tears rolled down her cheeks.
She could finally release her pent-up emotions.
Sophia chuckled to himself, then took out her phone and called her friend Sandra Clayton.
"Come pick me up, Sandra."
Sandra paused.
Then she said calmly, "Wait for me. I'll be right there."
Sandra had known Sophia since she was a little girl and was the first to oppose her marrying Pierce.
But Sophia didn't listen to Sandra. It wasn't until she got hurt that she knew who was truly good to her.
In the past three years, Sophia deliberately reduced her interaction with her friends, fearing that they would know about

her forbearance and make trouble.
But now when she thought about it, she was quite foolish.
Sandra arrived in less than ten minutes.
When the two met, their eyes turned red.
Sandra could tell what happened from the suitcase at Sophia's feet.
Gritting her teeth, she felt angry and sorry.
"Go back with me."
The Clayton family was among the best in Aberdyfi, so Sandra was flamboyant and arrogant.
Sandra brought Sophia back to her luxury apartment in the downtown area.
As soon as Sandra walked in, she couldn't help but curse.
"I wanted to curse when I watched the news during the day. That bastard is cruel and unscrupulous!
"How could he do something nasty like forcing you to recognize

his illegitimate son? It was disgusting!"
Sophia thought that the wounds that hadn't yet healed would make her feel painful and sad, but she was wrong. She felt as free as a bird.
