It was merely a third similar, yet he described it as if it was a perfect replica!
Derick looked displeased.
Pierce snorted arrogantly, the disdain in his eyes and brows revealed, not hidden at all.
He didn’t even bother to reply a single word.
The biggest characteristic of Derick was being himself, otherwise, would Sophia have given him a
second glance?
Sophia didn’t want to say much, she just walked around him and left.
As a result, Pierce had grabbed his wrist.
“I took you home.”
Sophia said indifferently, “Let go.”
Pierce’s slender fingers tightened, he glanced at Derick, his tone subdued a few degrees of arrogance:
“The doctor said that grandma woke up, aren’t you going to take a look?”
Sophia’s eyes flickered, she pursed her lips, hesitating.
Pierce hooked his lip, confident and assured.
As expected.

Sophia turned around, watching Derick speak:
“I went to see a patient first, see you later.”
Derick nodded with a smile, without any displeasure.
Pierce turned around abruptly, half–embracing Sophia’s shoulder as he walked away. He looked back,
his eyes darkly sweeping over Derick, carrying an intimidating chill.
Sophia broke free from his grip after only a few steps, and Pierce didn’t dare to forcefully try again.
He smelled a strange man’s cologne on the coat she was wearing.
I knew it was that damn Derick’s.
Shameless scoundrel!
Pierce personally opened the car door for her. When Sophia got in, her coat slipped onto the seat.
Pierce suddenly threw that annoying coat on the ground.
Sophia’s face turned cold, her voice icy:
“Picked it up.”
Pierce’s face was also very gloomy, a lump of anger stuck in his chest. He pretended not to know, and
sneered:
“Isn’t it just a worn–out piece of clothing? If you want it, I’ll buy you a new one!”
Sophia looked at him with an indifferent gaze, the two of them locked in a competitive stare.
Pierce couldn’t believe it, he couldn’t even beat a stand–in’s clothes?
Chapter 54. No More Quibbling
She just wanted him to coax her.
He coughed once, just about to speak, when Sophia suddenly pushed the door open and got out of the
car, forcefully shoving him away.
Pierce staggered back two steps in shock.
She bent over to pick up the clothes of that dog of a man, shook off the dust on the ground, and then
hung them on her own arm.
She looked at him indifferently as he began to speak:
“Pierce, there’s nothing special about your face, don’t be too full of yourself.”
She took out her phone intending to call the driver.
Pierce’s fist clenched instantly.
His jaw was clenched tightly, his heart pounding fiercely.
His voice was low, hoarse, and complex:
“Was it just about a piece of clothing that you had to be angry with me? And you said you didn’t care
about me when you were angry?”
He was truly both angry and wronged, suppressing his own emotions.
Forget it, just let her be!
If she hadn’t loved herself deeply, how could she have been angry with herself?
He was silent for two seconds, then stepped forward and pulled out her phone.
“Get in the car.”
Chapter 54. No More Quibbling
Wasn’t it just a ragged piece of clothing?
He didn’t care anymore!
Sophia watched the man’s ever–changing expressions and couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
He got into the car with her phone, Sophia didn’t want to get involved here for too long, so she had to
bend over and get back into the car.
She wished to see Bianca earlier.
The atmosphere in the car was tense and stagnant.
Both of them were very quiet.
Pierce watched her sitting in the back, hugging that coat, not bothering
to say a word, and his mood became increasingly unpleasant.
“Your taste has declined after the divorce, even this kind of person could catch your eye.”
Sophia sneered with her eyes closed:
“My taste has always been low, otherwise I wouldn’t have been attracted to you in the first place.”
Pierce’s face instantly turned even darker, his hand gripping the steering wheel tightened abruptly:
“Really?”
She always easily provoked his inner anger, but his rationality calmed him down.
She was just stubborn, forgive her!
Pierce didn’t dare to speak again all the way.

Arrived at the hospital.
They went straight to the VIP floor, where the doctor greeted them with a joyful expression on his face. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“Mr. Clement, the old lady woke up for a while just now, but she has fallen asleep again, this is normal.”
“We have checked, the congestion in her brain has already dispersed. You can go and see for yourself.
We believe she will be fully recovered soon.”
A sense of relief washed over Pierce, he gave a slight nod, muttered a thank you, and then headed
towards the ward.
Sophia followed closely behind.
Inside the sickroom.
Mrs. Zhou’s condition had stabilized, her complexion was rosy and peaceful, it was evident that she
had recovered well.
Sophia stood outside, also letting out a long sigh.
If something had happened to Bianca, she might have been upset for the rest of her life.
Listening to the doctor talk about the old man’s condition again, his situation was more serious.
Not long ago.
Kamden and Ava also came.
Ava feigned deep concern and sadness, starting to shed tears outside the hospital room.
Chapter 54: No More Quibbling
If it hadn’t been for Sophia hearing her curse Bianca over the phone earlier, she would have really
believed Ava’s act.
Sophia saw them coming and didn’t want to stay any longer herself.
Just turned around and went downstairs.
While standing downstairs making a phone call, Ava came running down.
Her expression was rather unfriendly, her critical gaze sweeping over Sophia.
Sophia gave her a calm and indifferent glance, with no emotion in her
eyes.
“Mrs. Clement, did you need me for something?”
Ava was infuriated when she saw how completely transformed she was
now.
The noble ladies surrounding her were saying, “How come your daughter–in–law seems to be doing
better after her divorce?”
Ava spoke in a sharp and cutting tone:
“I told you many times to stay away from Pierce, how can you be so shameless, making excuses to get
close, you such a pauper…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ava paused slightly, her face immediately turning graceful and
generous. She looked at the person coming from behind Sophia, her expression changing.
“Ms. Mooney, it was you…”
Cecilia was followed by five or six staff members, her face was without single wrinkle, time seemed to
favor her exceptionally. Standing next

to Ava, she looked like she was from a different generation.
Cecilia was dressed in a light purple cheongsam, her demeanor bright and noble. She was carrying a
limited edition Hermès bag, exuding an air of lazy luxury. Even though she was wearing sunglasses,
she was instantly recognizable.
With a hint of caution on her face, Ava warmly smiled and greeted them:
“Ms. Mooney, I heard that your husband is also a businessman. If there’s a chance, we could sit down
for a cup of tea…”
Ava deliberately placed her bag, which symbolized her status, in front.
But Cecilia’s bodyguard immediately blocked Ava’s approach.
Ava’s face slightly changed, she said with a smile:
“I was the lady of the Clement Group, Pierce was my son.”
It was thought that by saying this, Cecilia would be exceptionally polite.
However, Cecilia merely glanced at her and didn’t pay her any attention, instead, she looked towards
Sophia who was next to her.
She waved with a smile, and Sophia obediently walked over. Cecilia stood there, smiling as she gently
pulled her daughter’s hand.
“How did I end up here?”
Sophia pursed her lips, “I came to visit a patient.”
Cecilia nodded, not asking any further.
“Our crew had some things going on, would you like to have dinner
Chapter 54: No More Quibbling
together in the evening?”
Sophia nodded with a smile.
Cecilia also laughed for a moment, then directly led the people onto the elevator.
From beginning to end, she didn’t pay any attention to Ava at all.
Ava’s face changed several times, especially when she was ignored in front of Sophia. She felt that she
had lost face and was immediately infuriated.
“What’s there to brag about? She’s just an actress. She married a tycoon and didn’t even dare to make
it public. Maybe it’s not a legitimate relationship!”
