Chapter 60: She Was Tricked
Sophia expressed her thanks and then left with Aylen.
They arrived at the entrance of Matthew’s dinner club.
The club was not of low grade, it seemed that many people were eyeing the project in Matthew’s
hands.
After waiting for nearly two hours, they finally saw Matthew stagger out and get in the car.
“Keep up.”
Sophia looked and said to Aylen.
Very quickly.
His car was parked at the Walton Hotel.
As soon as Matthew got out of the car, Sophia greeted him with a smile on her face:
“Hello Mr. Ferber, I was the director of Eagle Entertainment, Sophia.”
Matthew, drunk, stared at her for a few seconds before frowning unhappily:
“Sophia? What happened?”
Sophia maintained a smile, “The Sparkle project, Eagle Entertainment is interested in collaborating. We
are very sincere, how about we find a time to talk?”
Matthew loosened his collar, letting out a carefree chuckle:

“No discussion. I never do business with women, unless it’s in bed ”
Flis attitude was sufficiently disdainful and frivolous.
Sophia’s amile stiffened slightly, suppressing the urge to hit someone, maintaining a professional fake
smile on her face;
“Mr. Ferber had drunk too much. Since it was for the sake of making money, what did it matter whether
the other party was male or female?”
Matthew sneered coldly, extremely impatient:
“Alright, alright. Since you don’t agree with what I said, there’s nothing more to discuss.”
He turned around and was about to enter the elevator.
Sophia didn’t chase after, she just raised her voice from behind:
“Mr. Ferber, if you are willing to cooperate, I would have helped you save your company.”
Matthew’s face faltered, he looked at her for a few seconds, and blocked the elevator that was about to
close:
“Come find me at the company tomorrow.”
Sophia laughed and breathed a sigh of relief.
She had succeeded halfway.
In the following days, she had a smooth negotiation with Matthew.
Although Matthew had made quite a few impolite demands, Sophia had managed to maximize the
benefits for both parties.
But it was on the very last day of signing the contract.

Matthew suddenly had a change of heart and made many demands that he had never made before,
resulting in the two parting on bad terms.
Sophia was furious, instantly realizing that Matthew had long since negotiated the project ownership
with someone else. He had merely been using Eagle Entertainment as a smokescreen all this time.
She wasted so much time, only to be fooled by someone!
She had someone inquire about the time Matthew signed the contract and immediately went to find
him.
She was upset and had no courtesy, she just pushed the door and went in directly.
Just didn’t expect that the one sitting face to face with Matthew inside was the cold–faced, aloof and
noble Pierce.
There was a moment of silence in the office.
Matthew stood up somewhat flustered, pointing at Sophia at the door.
“Who let you in? I’ve already said, our collaboration is null and void. Can’t you understand?”
Sophia chuckled lightly and walked in slowly.
“I understood. Mr. Ferber has discussed almost all the terms and conditions with us during this period,
and then you just said you wouldn’t do it. So, Mr. Ferber was treating us like fools, wasn’t he?”
She gave Pierce a cold, clear glance.
He sat there with a steady aura, his narrow eyes dark and profound. His voice was indifferent:
“Mr. Ferber, shouldn’t you have explained?”

Matthew tensed for a moment, then looked at Pierce with a pleasing expression.
“Mr. Clement, it was confidential before the cooperation was established, I was also trying not to leak
any information.”
As he spoke, he turned to Sophia, his attitude somewhat stern;
“Ms. Cruise, cooperation is always a matter of mutual consent. I believe Ms. Cruise wouldn’t be so
afraid of losing, would she?”
Upon hearing this, Sophia laughed out loud in anger:
“Of course, it’s your freedom to choose who Mr. Ferber wants to collaborate with. I wish you a
successful collaboration!”
A perfunctory smile hung on her face, she snorted coldly, then turned and walked out.
If it was so easy to fulfill their wishes, wouldn’t she have become a fool?
Before even leaving the company, someone had already chased after from behind.
“Sophia had…………..‘

Pierce quickened his pace, catching up directly. .
Sophia didn’t pause, Pierce gripped her hand, his expression calm and restrained:
“You didn’t think this was something Matthew and I had planned, did you?”
Sophia couldn’t be bothered to struggle, she looked at him with a cold gaze, a hint of a sneer playing at
the corners of her mouth:

“You wouldn’t want me to believe that you were innocent, would you?”
Pierce had always been shrewd and thorough in his business dealings, how could he possibly have
been unaware of this?
She wasn’t a fool, to believe just with a couple of explanations?
Sophia watched him fall silent, assuming it was out of guilt. She didn’t say much more, simply shook off
his hand and left the place.
The line between public and private was clear, in this round, she admitted defeat.
Got on the car.
Aylen glanced back at her, pursing her lips before speaking:
“Ms. Cruise, were we heading back to Aberdyfi next?”
Going back meant giving up. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Sophia cast her eyes down, casually glancing at the man who was still standing at the entrance of the
company.
She tugged at her lip, “Before I return, I have to do something.”

The collaboration between the Clement Group and Matthew was finalized, and the attention to the
Sparkle Project became the industry’s golden bowl.
Matthew’s net worth skyrocketed, unmatched in popularity.
However, within a few days, Matthew’s weekly rendezvous at the Hilton Hotel with his mistress was
discovered by his wife, who

brought journalists to confront him.
The lover also refused to show weakness, making Matthew make a choice on the spot.
Naturally, Matthew prioritized maintaining his own image and left with his original wife.
The next day.
Matthew’s lover had exposed significant financial oversights and financial fraud in Matthew’s Sparkle
Project.
Soon, this project was investigated by the relevant departments, and a series of problems emerged.
By the time Matthew realized he needed to confront his lover, the person had already taken the money
and gone on vacation to Paradise Island.
The Clement Group had experienced a series of issues that led to a sudden increase in costs, and
Pierce had already decided to abandon the project.
Sophia, who returned to Aberdyfi, felt much better.
Although I came back empty–handed, at least I got it off my chest.
Mike was helpless about this, after all, whether or not to have that project was no longer important.
After work that day.
Sophia leisurely descended the stairs, seeing Pierce’s car parked at the front door.
As soon as she appeared, Pierce rolled down the car window. His

profile was stern, his lines smooth, and his overall demeanor was extraordinary. His black shirt exuded
a strong sense of restraint.
The employees passing by were unconsciously astonished and admiring the man in the black Bentley.
“So handsome, he’s like a domineering CEO straight out of a TV show!”
“Why did he come looking for us again, Ms. Cruise? He couldn’t possibly be still hung up on us, could
he, Ms. Cruise?”
Ignoring everything else, these two really made a perfect match!

People were coming and going around.
Sophia felt everyone’s gazes subtly fixed on her face.
Match a face?
I couldn’t be paired with anyone but not with Pierce!
He really was a persistent nuisance, didn’t he know to avoid suspicion even after the divorce?
Her gaze cooled slightly, she turned and planned to leave from another direction.
I absolutely didn’t want to be seen in the same frame with him, causing any scandalous rumors.
Pierce’s eyes were dark and sharp, his thin lips slightly parted:
“Sophia, did you want me to talk with you here?”
Under the watchful eyes of the public, they spoke in such a way that

rumors of their reconciliation might have spread by tomorrow.
