Chapter 45: Don’t Turn Yourself In
The next second.
Feeling the unfamiliar temperature, Sophia straightened up, wiped away her tears, and dodged the
large hand.
A sense of distance arose.
Pierce’s face was grim.
The doctor had pushed the man into the intensive care unit, the old man’s surgery was not yet finished.
But according to the doctor, the surgery was very successful, it just depends on the follow–up situation.
Sophia let out a slight sigh of relief.
That heart had finally let go a little.
If something really happened to Bianca and the old man, she would never forgive herself.
Before leaving, she had gone to the bathroom.
Heard Ava’s voice on the phone, softly and slowly complaining:
“That old woman was finally nearing her end, still in the intensive care unit. I hoped she wouldn’t make
it till tomorrow.”
“I certainly didn’t forget how she was so picky and looked down on me when I first walked in. She still
always says that I’m nowhere near as good as Gina. Why didn’t this car accident kill her? I might as
well have just pulled her plug…”

Sophia’s gaze darkened, a chill suddenly filling her heart.
She had experienced Ava’s malice before, but Ava hid it so well that she didn’t realize Ava hated
Bianca to the bone.
She stood outside, and the person inside came out as soon as they finished the phone call.
The moment she saw Sophia, Ava’s face instantly turned cold, staring
at her with caution:
“What did you eavesdrop on?”
Sophia stared at her for a few seconds, calmly tugging at the corner of her mouth:
“I wasn’t eavesdropping, but I heard everything I needed to hear.”
She waved her own phone, which just allowed her to see the page that was recording.
Ava’s complexion suddenly changed.
She shrugged her shoulders and gave a cold laugh:
“Mrs. Clement, I warned you once, no matter how much you hated grandma, if you dared to do
anything, I would let the whole world hear how vicious your words just now were!”
She deliberately didn’t leave, just to scare Ava.
After all, she had nothing to worry about anymore, she couldn’t let her grandmother fall into another
danger.
Ava’s gaze instantly sharpened, she glared at Sophia with gritted teeth:
“Did you dare to threaten me?”
Chapter 45: Don’t Tum Yourself In
“I dared, would you like to try?”
Sophia leaned in close to her, speaking with a laugh, her tone cold and indifferent:
“Mr. Clement was a dutiful son. If he knew what you said, Mrs. Clement would probably be swept out
the door, wouldn’t she?”
Ava shuddered all over, her lips turning slightly pale.
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth, turned around and
left.
Ava, unable to contain her anger, stared intently at Sophia’s retreating figure:
“I wouldn’t touch her, I wouldn’t come to the hospital again, but Sophia, don’t you dare think about
stepping into the Clement family again!”
Sophia was dissatisfying her in every way. Not only was she of low status, but she also defied her
wishes and even dared to threaten her!
She thought Sophia would be scared, but instead, she just chuckled lightly, didn’t even turn her head,
her voice was clear and cold.
“Not impressed!”

Sophia had waited until Old Master Zhou finished his surgery before she left.
Pierce was busy investigating the perpetrator and the injuries of the two elderly people, unable to spare
any attention to Sophia’s whereabouts.
Chapter 45: Don’t Tum Yourself in
The surgery was over, the doctors discussed the next step of the treatment plan and were ready to
leave.
They were all top domestic experts who were temporarily transferred to this hospital.
Pierce instructed Kasen:
“Take good care of the experts, do not neglect them.”
One of the experts politely chuckled:
“Mr. Clement, there’s no need for formalities. We follow Ms. Cruise’s instructions without exception.”
Pierce paused for a moment, then nodded.
Feeling somewhat puzzled, how could Sophia have gathered so many experts in such a short time?
Just a director of Eagle Entertainment, how could he have so many connections and capabilities?
Inside the ward.
Emelia frantically made several calls before someone finally answered.
“Good girl, I’ve taken care of your matter. It’s right across from Eagle Entertainment. Mom had to chase
for several days to find the opportunity to get rid of those two old things. Don’t forget to transfer money
to mom!”
Upon hearing this, Emelia’s vision went black, all hope vanished, she was so angry that she gritted her
teeth:
“They were Pierce’s grandparents, the founders of the Clement Group! You’re done…”
Chapter 45: Don’t Turn Yourself In
She had never dreamed that the ordinary–dressed, caregiver–like old lady was actually Pierce’s
grandmother.
She really went crazy back then!
The other party fell silent for a moment, then their tone became sharp:
“It was over for us together, you only gave me a photo, but didn’t mention any identity. If you don’t give
me money, I’ll turn myself in, and you won’t be able to escape!”
Emelia, having heard this, was somewhat terrified and hastily spoke:
“No, don’t go, Mom, you have to help me!”
“Hmph, what are you afraid of? Those two old fools knew your secret, their death is a good thing, no
one will know about the incident three years ago. Give me the money, I’ll leave immediately, no one will
suspect you!”
Emelia’s heart pounded fiercely, as if a hand was pulling her into an abyss.
She swallowed her saliva, only able to respond:
“Alright, you run quickly!”
She couldn’t lose everything that was within her grasp.
The third day.
Sophia learned in the company that Bianca had fallen into a coma and that Mr. Zhou was very likely to
become a vegetative state.
She could hardly suppress her sorrow, having visited the hospital several times, and each time she
would encounter Pierce.
Chapter 45 Don’t Tum Yourself in
Because something had happened to Bianca and the old man, she didn’t ridicule as she used to, but
she wasn’t enthusiastic either.
Pierce had on several occasions escorted her away, which Emelia happened to witness.
This time.
Sophia had just arrived at the hospital when Emelia appeared.
She stood there, frail and gentle, innocently looking at Sophia.
“Ms. Cruise, shall we talk?”
“There was nothing much for me to talk about with you, right?”
Sophia was impatient, not even sparing her a glance.
Emelia cast her eyes down pitifully, “About Bianca’s matter.”
She noticed that Sophia cared about the old lady, and it was only because she said so that Sophia
agreed.
As expected.
Sophia glanced at her, “Talk about what?”
Emelia’s gaze wandered, pitifully weak.
“Go talk somewhere else, it’s not convenient here.”
She pointed to the rest area not far away. Since it was the VIP floor, the rest facilities here were very
complete, almost like a high–end hotel.
Sophia lowered her eyes and followed.
Emelia sat across, her eyes demurely lowered as she gave a shy smile.
Chapter 45 Dont Tum Yourself
“I knew it was your doing that my secret was revealed at the last party, but I don’t blame you.”
“Luke indeed wasn’t his child, but he said he would treat him as his own. As long as the child was mine,
he would love them. We even planned to have a few children of our own…”
“Are you done yet? I don’t have time to listen to your nonsense!”
Sophia indifferently interrupted her.
Thinking of her unborn child, she felt a pang of pain in her heart.
It was as if a newly scabbed wound had been brutally torn open again, leaving it raw and bleeding.
She only felt pain throughout her body, but had to suppress her
emotions.
Emelia was indifferent to her cold demeanor, only immersed in her own world of happiness, her eyes
deepening. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“Sophia, I despised you. You were quite good at pretending, acting as if you didn’t care about the
Clement family, didn’t care about Pierce. But you couldn’t forget that unborn child, could you?”
“If you truly didn’t care about those things, why did you care about that child?”
