Chapter 31
Ava looked sulky as soon as she saw Sophia.
“You got the cheek to come back. We called you many times but didn’t get through. I thought you were proud enough to leave us!
“You caused trouble to us and put Pierce in a plight. How dare you come back?”
Her words made people quiet. They only watched the “show” in silence.
Sophia pressed her lips with a smile.
“Pierce’s grandma wants to see me. I’ll leave as soon as I meet her.”
She said as she directly walked upstairs to Pierce’s grandmother’s room.
Ignored, Ava stood up in anger. She used to throw a fit at Sophia a lot, so she never hesitated to do it.
“Stop. You didn’t even greet us. How could you be so impolite? I knew Pierce should have married a better match for our family. It’s so bad that the Clement family has you here!”
Sophia turned to her with a cold face. Facing people’s eyes, she didn’t apologize obediently.
Instead, she smiled at Ava calmly.
“I should feel bad to marry your son!”
Ava’s face changed as she didn’t expect her docile daughter–in–law would
talk to her in this way!
“You…”
“You even accepted an illegitimate son. I guess you will welcome Emelia, his humble mother, too. I don’t think that woman would be a better
match!”
People all knew that Emelia’s mother was a bartender in a club. Her mother secretly gave birth to Emelia after hooking up with a rich businessman.
But soon after Emelia was born, that businessman died before Emelia’s mother went to him. There was no chance to prove the fact.
Her mother lost her mind and cried before that man’s house, hoping his wife would support their lives.
The scandal spread widely and was known to all. It was easy for people to
find it out.

Chapter 31
So Ava forbade Pierce to be with Emelia.
Emelia’s background was embarrassing.
It made Ava’s face gloomy.
Even her grandson in her arms appeared less adorable to her.
Pierce’s aunt walked over to comfort her at once.
“Sophia, it’s a family issue. Don’t wash your dirty linen in public. You’re still part of the family. How would we accept another woman?
“Just apologize to Ava. This kid will be your son. You should be generous!”
People echoed.
“Yeah. Be generous. This kid is innocent.”
“Don’t be silly. You’re Pierce’s wife. It’s normal that a man has affairs.”
“That’s right…”
Ava glared at Sophia coolly and sneered, uttering mean words.

“Given your background, you should feel lucky to marry my son. It’s ridiculous that you still don’t realize who you are. So what if we keep this illegitimate son? You can’t even have a kid!
“Even if Pierce has more affairs, you would be to blame for being useless!
“Look at you! If you hadn’t married Pierce, would you have afforded these
famous brands?
“My son bought them for you! You’re carried away. Aren’t you afraid that I may drive you away and make you poor again?”
“Mom, what are you talking about?”
A deep, cold voice sounded.
As soon as Pierce came in, he heard Ava, which made his face dark.
These words were offensive. What was worse, there were so many people.
Sophia was still his wife.
Pierce looked at Sophia subconsciously.
He knew his mother well. Ava always despised women with poor backgrounds.
She must have humiliated Sophia like this a lot.
But Sophia had never complained about Ava in the past three years.
Pierce couldn’t imagine how much he had ignored in the past three years.
But Sophia just sneered slightly and looked at Ava with indifferent eyes.
“Your son didn’t buy me these clothes and bags. He never spent a penny on me. Why should I feel so grateful to you?”
She tilted her head to look at Pierce expressionlessly and asked with a
sneer.
“Mr. Clement, can you tell your mother if I have ever used your money?”
When she spoke, she was quite calm. Before Pierce answered, she added an important sentence.
“By the way, I divorced Pierce. You don’t need to drive me away. I’ll leave without asking him for anything.”
Her words were shocking.
People around whispered in shock.
Ava was astonished that they got divorced.
Chapter 31
She didn’t believe that Sophia was willing to get divorced.
After Sophia finished, she went upstairs.
Sophia came to celebrate Pierce’s grandmother’s birthday and tell people about their divorce as well.
Ava looked at her son.
“Is that true? You got divorced?”
Pierce’s heart sank as he looked at Ava with a complex look in silence.
Complex feelings flooded him when he stared at Sophia’s slim back.
He seldom went back to their home during their three years of marriage.
But when he went back after they got divorced, he found that he didn’t. know Sophia well.
He transferred money to a bank card every month. But the card was left in the drawer, untouched.
He had strange feelings beyond description, which made him upset.
Seeing that Ava was holding Luke, Pierce frowned gloomily.
“Why is he here?”
Ava paused. “This is your son and my grandson. We can’t let him stay in other places.”
Ava felt that Emelia was smart to send Luke over.
Pierce’s eyes darkened. Then he went upstairs.
Bianca had a nurse, who left the room so that Bianca and Sophia could.
talk alone.
Pierce stood outside the door and listened to their conversation.
“Happy birthday, Bianca. I … I’m going abroad for a business trip. So I can’t visit you a lot. Take care!”
Sad. Sophia didn’t bear to tell Bianca the truth about their divorce for fear that it would be too much for Bianca.
If it weren’t for Bianca’s protection, Sophia wouldn’t have been able to stay in the Clement family.
Learning that she would go abroad, Bianca was anxious.
“Go abroad? How long will you come back? You’re leaving as soon as

Pierce came back. Did he do anything bad to you?”
Sophia paused to make her sound calmer. She spoke mildly.
“No. Bianca, we’re good. It’s a business trip. I’ll visit you when I have time.
“By the way, this is your gift. Happy birthday!”
She gave Bianca the gift. Seeing Bianca’s happy smile, Sophia felt relieved.
Bianca took the gift. She was old but still sensitive. She could tell the gift was expensive. She knew that Sophia cared about her.
“Sophia, I know you like Pierce. Enjoy your life with him. Once you have a baby, I’ll take care of your baby!”
Sophia’s smile froze, but she still nodded as if nothing had happened.
She couldn’t enjoy a life with him. It was over.
As for the kid, how would Pierce want a baby with her when he already had a son?

Chapter 32
Sophia pulled herself together and chatted with Bianca, who was cheered up. Then she said goodbye to Bianca.
As soon as Sophia walked out, she saw Pierce standing by the wall outside with a cold vibe. He pressed his thin lips with a deep frown.
He could clearly hear their conversation in the room..
Pierce thought, “Didn’t she try to cheer Grandma up because she still cares about me?
“She must have regretted divorcing me and wanted to come back with me!
“She’s loved me for three years. How could she stop suddenly?”
That thought softened him up.
Seeing her mild and soft smile when she walked out, he had stronger complex feelings including guilt and pleasure.
He didn’t treat her well during the three years of marriage.
He decided to make it up to her.
~ Chapter ba
Sophia divorced him without asking for anything.
It meant that she only cared about him.

Pierce thought. “She doesn’t want me to mistake her for a gold digger!”
It made him more confident.
“Sophia, if you regret divorcing, it’s not too late to take your words back.”
After losing her identity as his wife, she would live a harder life.
Pierce fixed his eyes on her. His voice was deep and cool. And he felt a bit proud.
He compromised by saying so.
Hearing what he said, she glanced at him.”
A touch of cold flashed in her heart. She felt ridiculous.
Then she chuckled, turned around, and went downstairs.
She didn’t bother to waste her time on him.
How could she regret divorcing?
| Chapter 37-
How could she pretend as if nothing had happened?
How could she tolerate Pierce and Emelia?
It was suffocating.
When she left without speaking, Pierce’s face darkened and froze.
He felt he had lost something.
It made him somehow upset and anxious.
He loosened his collar, went downstairs, and found she had left.
Ava stopped him with a mad face.
“Sophia is so vulgar! How dare she! She forcibly married you. We had to accept her. In the past three years, we supported her life. But she is so ungrateful!
“The farce she made online embarrasses us. We should teach her a lesson.
“After she got divorced, she needs to work. Just make her banned so that she’ll have to ask us for help when she can’t find a job. She’ll learn a lesson and know who’s the boss!”
