The conference room.
The effect was spot on, and Sophia was quite satisfied.
She didn't make it too difficult either, she just proceeded to the next step.

Lydia didn't reply to Sophia until the next day.
Two people arranged to meet in a quiet coffee shop.
She saw Sophia smile, her eyes full of charm, but it didn't affect her cool aura.
"It's good to see you're okay. I regret that I couldn't make it to the Cruise family's party last time due to some matters. But congratulations to you."
Sophia smiled, "You're too kind. We can meet anytime, whether I go or not doesn't matter."
There were so many big shots at the event back then, Sophia's

identity would definitely have been spread among the big shot circle.
It was not surprising that Lydia knew.
Sophia lowered her eyes slightly, opening her mouth with a smile:
"Ms. Ayesa also knew that I had already left Eagle Entertainment and planned to bring the Codepath Tech project to the Cruise Group, which was stronger than Eagle Entertainment and beneficial for the project." Lydia nodded, her brows and eyes becoming slightly stern, but she still spoke in a gentle manner:
"I understood your point, Ms. Cruise. During your disappearance, many people coveted this collaboration, and Eagle Entertainment was unable to proceed, so it was repeatedly postponed."
However, bringing it to the Cruise Group would inevitably overturn the foundation of our previous contract. The agreed terms were repeatedly modified, which was not conducive to the progress of the project. ""Moreover..."
She paused, then continued to speak:

"I'm telling the truth, the Clement Group was determined to get your share, almost all shareholders of the Ayesa Group agreed to the cooperation between the two companies."
Lydia's words left Sophia frozen.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She paused, looking at Lydia:
"Ms. Ayesa, even if participating in the project under the name of Eagle Entertainment, we wouldn't be swallowed by Pierce, would we?"
Lydia took a sip of coffee, looking at her as she said:
"I didn't know why he suddenly changed, Ms. Cruise. I could temporarily hold off on my end with the Ayesa Group, but if you want to change Eagle Entertainment to the Cruise Group, you'll have to get Pierce's approval." Sophia paused, looking at her with some astonishment.
Lydia laughed self-deprecatingly:
"Don't worry, I don't want you to quit either. If you quit, I'll be the next target. When do business people ever have enough money?"

With you present, only then could the power of our three parties balance each other out.
"You were gone. Even though I had some familial ties with Pierce, what's the worth of a distant relationship that can't be reached with eight poles?" After hearing her words, Sophia felt a slight sense of relief.
At least she knew Lydia's attitude.
She did not form an alliance with Pierce privately.
Lydia needed her to counterbalance Pierce.
She laughed a little, looking at Lydia with gratitude.
"Thank you, Ms. Ayesa."
When she disappeared, interests were preserved for her.
Lydia laughed a little, holding her coffee cup and gently clinking it against hers.
""You're welcome, I really liked you."
"Me too."

The two people shared a glance and a laugh.
Sophia knew what to do next.
That bastard Pierce was the one who started it all.

The thought of it gave her a bit of a headache.
Returned to the company.
She took out the USB drive that Aylen had given her, watched the video on the computer, her face instantly turned pale, her breathing unstable. She couldn't forget the scenes on the cruise ship.
Daniel, a man with a beast's heart, lashed Sophia with a whip. She still hasn't forgotten that burning, piercing pain.
But the most terrifying thing was undoubtedly when he heard the news that Pierce had come up, tied her up with a rope, and hung her outside the window. What was her state of mind at that time?
Fear, panic, the suffocation of being on the brink of death, the blood in his body flowing in reverse, as if he was a plaything

being toyed with by a natural predator.
Sophia watched everything that she hadn't seen at that time.
Daniel used his secretary as a shield to hide the truth, and then Pierce burst in.
He interrogated fiercely like a lost wild wolf, ruthless and clueless.
***
Until the very end.
Camille ran in, Annie's voice came through clearly...
The video didn't capture this segment, but the audio was there.
Sophia suddenly laughed, she almost laughed to tears.
She excitedly touched her chest, her once dead and dry heart seemed to be immersed in a warm current, beating again.
Seemed somewhat excited, but also somewhat melancholic.
She knew, the wicked would get their comeuppance.

But she wouldn't give it up easily
Murder, or attempted, what could it do?
As long as the Clement family made a slight effort, Camille could even avoid jail and enjoy a luxurious life abroad.
She wouldn't cheapen them like that.
Sophia pulled out the USB drive and placed it in the safe inside the office.
She wanted to play a bigger role.
Lucky, fluffy as ever, climbed onto Sophia's toes, stretching out two little paws, wanting her to hold him.
Sophia was in a good mood, treating it with a bit more gentleness.
Holding it in his arms and stroking its little head, Lucky comfortably squinted his eyes and obediently found a comfortable position to lie down. Sophia stroked its soft fur, just as Aylen knocked on the door and came in.
"Ms. Cruise, Mr. Clement of the Clement Group..."

Before the words were even finished, Sophia coldly interrupted:
"Not seen."
Aylen paused, then continued to speak:
"Mr. Clement's assistant, Kasen, came over with a message, saying that Mr. Clement wanted to see you, asking... asking you to go over to his place."
His voice was getting softer as he spoke, it felt like he was about to stop talking.
Pierce had lost his memory, so he even restored the shelf to its former state.
Just had an assistant to pass the message.
Sophia looked at him incredulously, a hint of mockery in her eyes as if she was hearing a joke
What kind of nonsense did she hear?
Who did Pierce think he was?
Aylen pursed her lips, standing there silently with her head bowed.

This was indeed Pierce's style. If it had been someone else, they would have been overjoyed to be received.
But when Sophia took over, this matter turned upside down!
Fell silent for a few seconds.
Sophia chuckled lightly, her eyes and brows indifferent and cold:
"Let Assistant Kasen in."
Kasen didn't want to come either, and I had no idea what Pierce was thinking.
He actually let himself do this?
If it were a gift, it would be fine, but just a command?
Was Sophia the one who listened to his instructions?
He had originally said he wanted to leave, but Sophia surprisingly wanted to see him.
Kasen walked in nervously, greeting with a smile.
Sophia also smiled gently:

"Long time no see, Assistant Kasen. Aylen, pour a cup of coffee for Assistant Kasen, with extra sugar and milk."
Kasen was momentarily taken aback and somewhat touched.
When they were not divorced, he ran errands for Pierce and delivered things to her, and Sophia had made coffee for him. Sophia actually remembered the flavor he liked!
He laughed a little, "Ms. Cruise, it's really great to see you've made it back safely."
His eyes were somewhat sore.
Sophia paused, chuckled, and Lucky in her arms struggled to jump onto the table, wagging his little tail towards Kasen.
Kasen looked at it in surprise, "You've got a pet now?"
"Yeah."
Kasen suddenly fell silent.
Sophia knew Pierce was allergic to dog hair, so she never touched it before their divorce, even though she really wanted to have a pet to alleviate her loneliness. 10.150
