Chapter 69: Exchange of Interests
Sophia’s heart sank, but her face remained expressionless.
Knowing his stance, he would clear obstacles for Emelia without hesitation.
Actually thought he might have changed?
Became more unconditionally tolerant towards Emelia?
A cold smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth: “One billion.”
Pierce did not hesitate:
“Good.”
He agreed immediately.
Emelia couldn’t go to jail then, and this money was for Sophia.
He had a hundred reasons to give to Sophia.
She finally agreed to take her own money, which indicated that she started to care about herself!
A sense of relief washed over Pierce.
He immediately took out his phone to transfer money, and almost simultaneously, Sophia received the transfer information.
But in Sophia’s view, even if it took a billion, she would have to rescue Emelia from danger. Their love was indeed beyond doubt!
There was a coldness in her eyes as she looked at him:
Chapter 69. Exchange of Interests
“The exchange of benefits was very fair.”
Pierce paused, his eyes and brows softening a bit:
“You’re not angry anymore, right? You took the money, you hit the person, you guys are even now.”
He let Sophia take action in front of them, just to let her vent.
As for the discarded shell of the lighter with Sophia’s fingerprints, which the assistant found at the scene of the studio fire this morning, he had already had it taken care of.
Didn’t leave any trace.
He was so considerate and caring towards her, she must have felt it!
A billion was worth it!
Without uttering another word, Sophia turned around and left directly.
Camille had just caught up, panting heavily:
“Bro, why did sister–in–law leave?”
Pierce pursed his lips, looking at her:
“Go, go and soothe your sister–in–law for me.”
Camille approached and tentatively asked:
“You didn’t really have something going on with that woman just now, did you? I’m telling you straight, I don’t acknowledge others. If you really did something to betray my sister–in–law, I suggest you commit suicide to apologize!”
Pierce’s face darkened, his eyes coldly staring at her:
Chapter 64 Exchange of interests
“Stop talking nonsense and go now!”
Camille stuck out her tongue and hurriedly chased after.
Sophia was almost at the ward when Camille caught up with her:
“Sister–in–law…”
Sophia paused, looked back at her, and gave a faint smile:
“Camille, I divorced your brother a long time ago, don’t call me your sister–in–law anymore, it’s not appropriate.”
Camille’s eyes widened in shock, cursing Pierce a thousand times in her heart. Even after their divorce, he still expected her to come and appease him?
She digested for a good while before she said with a laugh:
“Then you are also my sister–in–law. I was abroad when you two got married, but I’ve always considered you as my family. Unfortunately, my brother doesn’t allow me to contact you privately.”
Pierce didn’t allow Camille to contact her, probably because she had donated bone marrow conditionally and didn’t consider her as family, so he didn’t want her to meet Camille.
Sophia lowered her eyes, smiled, “Is your body better now?”
Camille squeezed into the ward with a laugh, not feeling out of place
at all:
“The doctor said I could live a normal life again.”
“Congratulations to you.”
“Thanks to you, sister–in–law.”

Camille chuckled, “If it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have survived. You donated your bone marrow to me and even married my brother. You really got the short end of the stick.”
As she said this. Sophia suddenly burst into laughter.
She heard such a novel train of thought for the first time.
Everyone thought it was despicable and shameless of her to use bone marrow donation as a threat to make Pierce marry her, taking advantage of his vulnerability.
Only Camille said that she had lost.
She indeed was at a loss.
Camille began to eat fruit while incessantly chattering, while Sophia, resigned, sat on the balcony drinking tea, listening to her prattle.
Not long ago.
Someone came to knock on the door.
Camille put down the apple and hopped over to open the door:
“Sister–in–law, don’t move, I’ll go open the door.”
Sophia, who hadn’t moved in the first place, said: “…..
“Is that you? Derick, what are you doing here?”
Camille’s voice was filled with surprise, warmth, and joy:
“Did you know my sister–in–law? Please come in.”
Derick nodded slightly, a gentlemanly gesture, then walked in. Seeing Sophia sitting on the balcony drinking tea, he revealed a hint of a
smile.
Chapter 69 Exchange of Intereste
“Heard about something, came to check on you.”
Upon hearing about Emelia’s near–death experience in a fire, he immediately understood the whole story.
Sophia nodded, giving a small laugh:
“I was fine and would be able to leave the hospital soon.”
Derick chuckled, Camille ran over, enthusiastically pouring tea and peeling fruit for Derick, all of which Derick politely and distantly refused.
Sat for a while.
Derick felt uncomfortable with the presence of the third person and decided to take his leave.
Camille delivered it to the door, then turned back with a somewhat dejected look:
“Sister–in–law, how did you meet Derick? What is your relationship with him?”
Sophia’s eyes dropped almost imperceptibly, not wanting to answer these questions.
Although Camille had not shown any malice towards her, she did not want to have too much interaction with the people of the Clement family anymore.
Not to mention, she and Camille didn’t really have much in common.
She was silent for a few seconds before she spoke in a gentle voice:
“We’ve collaborated before, why, do you know him?”
Chap 69 Exchange of infants
Camille blushed with excitement and nervousness, nodding her head somewhat sheepishly:
The laboratory where I was treated and recuperated abroad was his. He is so impressive, almost monopolizing the medical equipment industry in Mautiland. Thanks to him, my illness was able to improve.
“Sister–in–law, please help me, I liked him, I wanted to be with him.”
Sophia glanced at her, somewhat surprised by her frankness.
But after reacting, she laughed:
“You had to fight for this yourself, I couldn’t help much. Derick and I were just business partners, nothing more.”
Camille glanced at her with a sense of loss, a hint of reproach in his
tone:
“Sister–in–law, you’re not helping me because you like him too, are you?”
Sophia didn’t like Camille doubting herself, and they weren’t very close, there was no sense of distance.
She just looked at Camille coldly, speaking gently:
“I just explained it. Camille, just call me by my name in the future.”
Stop calling her sister–in–law. Even before her divorce, not many people acknowledged her as a member of the Clement family.
It was no longer necessary now.
Camille detected that Sophia was somewhat upset, immediately stopped dwelling on the issue, and instead walked over with a smile, saying:
Chapter 9 Exchange its
“But in my heart, you are my only sister–in–law. My brother also asked me to call you sister–in–law. He still has you in his heart. Sister–in–law, you rest well, I’ll go back first.”
Sophia didn’t say anything, she just saw her off.
After leaving, she directly sent the evidence she had obtained to Pierce.
Her revenge was fulfilled, she took a hundred million from Pierce, it was of no use keeping it.
Even words spoken in a fit of anger, promises must be kept.
In Emelia’s hospital room.
With tears welling up in her eyes, she stared at Pierce in front of her, on the verge of crying out of grievance:
“What about the evidence from the lighter? Has the result come out? It must be Sophia, there’s no one else.”
“She had a fire and suspected it was my revenge. Pierce, you must stand up for me!”
She had just planned to rush into his arms, but Pierce dodged sideways, leaving Emelia frozen for a moment.
Felt even more wronged.
