Chapter 42: The Test of Love
Pierce’s expression darkened, his voice carrying a hint of gravity:
“Grandma, who told you?”
Seeing him admit it, Bianca was so angry she didn’t know what to do:
“It was your mistress, that vixen, I tell you, as long as I lived, she wouldn’t even think about stepping
foot in this house!”
Saying so, he hung up the phone.
Old Master Zhou had long been accustomed to these troubles, so he wasn’t that angry.
“Calm down, when we lost Gina as our daughter–in–law, I had already let go. Divorce is fine, don’t hold
back a good girl.”
Bianca was furious: NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“I liked Sophie even more because she somewhat resembled Gina. I didn’t expect Pierce to be so
disappointing!”

Pierce frowned, put down his phone, and instructed Kasen to check out foreign hospitals.
Kasen left, holding his phone hesitantly for a moment, then got up to retrieve another phone from the
drawer, found a number and dialed it.
The other party hung up directly.
She no longer answered calls from unknown numbers.

Pierce felt a pang in his heart.
He stood up, took his clothes and went out, glancing at Kasen:
“I visited Eagle Entertainment to pay a sick visit.”
His last two words were an explanation.
Kasen tugged at the corner of his mouth, the words that reached his lips were swallowed back down.
Who would still go to work when they were sick?
Pierce drove to the bottom of the Eagle Entertainment building.
Suddenly feeling it wasn’t quite right to show up empty–handed, I took a detour in my car and bought a
bouquet of roses.
Didn’t she like it?
Derick could deliver, he could also deliver!
The one he gave was bigger, more beautiful, and more advanced!
Just when I got downstairs, I was informed that Ms. Cruise didn’t come in today.
His face darkened, “You’re not coming because you twisted your ankle?”
He actually drew a blank!
The receptionist, who had just arrived and was of extremely high quality, managed to maintain a polite
smile on her face, but couldn’t help wondering if there was something wrong with this man.
Pierce asked with a frown:

“Where did she live?”
The receptionist smiled:
“Sorry, sir, we can’t disclose that. After all, there are many gentlemen like you who are lining up all day
wanting to see Ms. Cruise. Ms. Cruise is already very busy, and her residence is confidential.”
“If you wanted to see her, you could have made an appointment in line, but there was no extra time left
this year.”
After she spoke, Pierce’s face immediately turned gloomy.
Very good then!
Many men were lining up to ask her out?
No wonder she was no longer interested in remarriage now!
A surge of nameless anger suddenly rose in Pierce’s heart, with suppressed emotions churning in his
chest.
His jaw was tightly clenched, he gave her a gloomy look, and placed the rose on the table.
“For Sophia.”
He spoke, then turned and left.
The receptionist was frightened by that look, but in the end, she fearlessly stood her ground.
She was just about to put away the flowers to deal with later, but ended up noticing a card in the
bouquet.
She picked it up and saw, written in bold and fluid strokes, were just three words: Pierce!

The receptionist was suddenly stunned.
I hadn’t met the person, but I had heard the name!
The President of the Clement Group!
She immediately delivered the bouquet upstairs.
Aylen took a photo of the flowers and card together and sent it to Sophia.
Sophia replied, “Throw it away.”
***
Pierce got in the car and called Kasen.
“Did you check where Sophia is living now?”
Kasen paused, “Yes.”
Very quickly.
Sophia’s address was sent to Pierce’s phone.
A luxurious location in the city center, where privacy and environment were the best.
He drove there, only to find no one.
The steward of the community replied with a smile, “Ms. Cruise hasn’t been back for several days.”
Pierce hit a dead end and returned to the corporation with a stern face.
Sophia, she really was talented!
The cunning rabbit had learned to have three burrows.

Kasen investigated Emelia’s hospitalization records abroad, and it went exceptionally smoothly.
Received the results very quickly.
Darion was type O blood, Emelia was type A blood, but Luke was type B blood.
This proved that Luke could never possibly be Darion’s child.
Kasen had obtained the blood sample from Emelia’s newborn child. He paused before speaking:
The hospital confirmed that the child Ms. Wilson gave birth to was type O blood, but Luke was type B
blood. Luke’s blood did not match the blood sample.
“It’s very likely that the child was mistaken, or someone did it on purpose.”
Pierce’s face was stern, his eyes weighed down with melancholy, and his knuckles were slightly pale.
Emelia didn’t lie.
“Continue the investigation.”
Pierce commanded in a hoarse voice.
Kasen nodded, he was also surprised that this matter could actually take another turn!
He pursed his lips, hesitating to speak:
Also, I heard that Emelia suffered from severe depression when she first went abroad, and all her
money was scammed. She then went to work in a dance troupe, and as a result…

Severe depression?
Pierce’s brow furrowed slightly.
He had no idea at all.
the Cruise’s place.
Sophia was resting at home, without delaying reading her emails on the sofa.
She was languid yet exquisite, with her hair falling behind her ears, even just sitting there seemed to
stun people.
The butler carefully brought over a bowl of bird’s nest soup, and Sophia smiled, curving the corners of
her lips:
“Thank you.”
She was savoring the delicious food when Sandra’s call came in.
“Sophia, that woman jumped off a building and was hospitalized, and Nolan was like a madman,
begging everyone for help to remove the trending topic from the internet. Is he out of his mind?”
Sophia paused, a hint of a smile playing at the corners of her lips:
“Didn’t die from the jump, did you?”
Of course, if he had died, Nolan would have been sobbing at the memorial service.
“He never cared so much about his brother’s affairs before, what do you think he’s after?”
Sandra was clueless, she was simply regretful for a lifetime that these two did not end up together.

Sophia chuckled, “Mr. Morrison has always taken special care of Emelia, and I don’t know why.”
As for the reason, she didn’t know either and found it strange.
At first, I thought it was because of Pierce’s face that Nolan did it, but later I found out it wasn’t.
The two people chatted for a while, then hung up the phone.
The butler came over, “Miss, Derick has arrived.”
Sophia was taken aback, somewhat surprised, but she still nodded:
“Please let him in.”
Derick knew she had sprained her ankle, he should have come to visit her.
Very quickly.
Derick came over with quite a few gifts, especially that bunch of roses, which was twice as big as the
one from last night, beautiful and eye- catching.
“Ms. Cruise, did you feel better?”
Sophia chuckled, sitting there in her slippers, inscrutable.
“Much better, the doctor said it wasn’t serious, it would be fine in a couple of days.”
Derick gave a warm smile and handed over the flower:
“That’s good, I hope you could get better soon.”
Sophia took it, “Thank you.”

Derick casually laughed as he began to speak:
“Mr. Clement seemed quite worried about you, but he was even more concerned about Ms. Wilson. I
heard that he had her moved to the best room in the hospital. It seems that the storm has passed.”
A hint of surprise flashed in Sophia’s eyes unintentionally.
But it quickly disappeared.
She had been able to sense at the party that Pierce’s attitude towards Emelia was not quite trusting.
But forgave immediately after turning around?
Indeed, it was a deep love!
She curled the corner of her lip, appearing unconcerned.
“That was his business, perhaps these things were just tests of love in their eyes.”
Saying it out loud, it was quite heartbreaking.
But Sophia had already been able to control her emotions well.
Derick hooked up the corner of his lips, his smile deepening, and raised his eyebrows:
“That’s great, wish them a lifetime of happiness.”
They were together, and Derick was quite excited?
