Ex-Husband's Regret (by Miss Dark)
Dark Billionaire 62

Chapter 62

Sophia interrupted him, her tone cold yet calm:

#

"Pierce, are you afraid that I'll harm her? Actually, you don't need to be. You're the one involved. Even if you insist, the police won't accept what I say."

Pierce furrowed his brows, looking at her with a dark and complex gaze.

Sophia chuckled lightly, her tone dismissive:

"Actually, I was quite envious of Emelia. Every time something happened to her, you would firmly take her side, making her fearless. Perhaps this is what true love is!"

She laughed, slowly closing the window, then pressed down on the accelerator.

Chapter 62

Pierce stood there watching her leave, his heart feeling as if it had been. tugged by a thin thread.

An indescribable feeling of suffocation hit me.

It left him somewhat breathless.

The police arrived quickly.

After asking questions and comparing with previous records and surveillance, it was confirmed that this woman was indeed the perpetrator who had hit old Mr. Zhou and the old lady before.

Now it was an attempt to murder again, which was very serious, so the body was taken away.

However, no clues were found regarding this person's identity.

Emelia narrowly avoided police questioning, thanks to Pierce's protection.

Chapter 62

Very quickly.

This woman was found out.

He was a notorious gambler, well-known far and wide, and owed a considerable amount of high-interest debt.

However, this woman recently was not short of money. She had no record of bank transfers, but her extravagant spending still attracted a lot of

attention.

She usually bragged after drinking that she had a daughter who had married a wealthy businessman and had gone abroad...

But who her daughter was, there were no clues at all.

A week later.

Chapter 62

The charity auction was held as scheduled.

Kylan couldn't make it due to a temporary issue, and Sophia was also ten minutes late.

She was wearing a limited edition long dress from the Starry Sky series, her whole demeanor cool and elegant. As soon as she sat down, the person next to her turned their head and gave her a gentle smile. "What a coincidence!"

Sophia hadn't expected to see Derick here and gave a slight nod.

Brycen and Cecilia sat at the very front, the two of them sitting closest to each other, yet outside they were like strangers.

Brycen had expressed his opinions multiple times, but they were all

rebutted by Cecilia.

Chapter 62

Could only continue the secret marriage.

Sophia watched as Cecilia happily photographed a few collectibles, helplessly curling the corners of her lips.

Her mother had always refused to wrong herself.

Derick, who was next to her, saw her laugh and assumed she liked the jade bracelet on display, so he raised a sign. "Three million at a time..."

Sophia looked at him in surprise, Derick laughed and winked at her, and suddenly, Sophia understood something. The price for this bracelet was already quite high.

No sooner had the words fallen, than another woman raised her sign:

Chapter 62

""Five million!"

Derick raised the sign again: "Seven million!"

There was hardly any competition for this price.

As a result, the woman was relentless and continued to quote:

"Nine million!"

Derick remained indifferent and was about to continue holding up the sign when he was stopped by Sophia.

"Mr. Woodward, do you absolutely have to do this? Please, don't be impulsive!"

Derick paused, his eyes clear as stars, looking at her:

37454

Chapter 62

"Didn't you like it? I wanted to give it to you."

Sophia pursed her lips, firmly denying:

"No, I didn't like it, I would rather you just gave me nine million!"

The bracelet was at most worth one million, but it was hyped up to nine million, which was already the highest.

Derick nodded with a smile and didn't continue to bid.

The woman received the bracelet, extremely delighted, only hearing the host congratulating someone named "Ms. Wilson".

Sophia looked around, didn't see anything she liked, so she didn't participate in the auction.

Chapter 62

However, she did privately donate three million to build schools in the

mountainous area.

Cecilia and Brycen went off to mingle with others.

Sophia and Derick were talking when someone walked up to them and let

sarcastic laugh:

out a

"Some people, they just come to freeload, not only are they stingy, they can't even afford a bracelet, it's really laughable. If I were her, I would have found a crack in the ground to crawl into a long time ago!" Sophia and Derick were taken aback.

Saw Molly walking over with a wealthy businessman.

She knew the portly man next to Molly, who was the CEO of an entertainment company, Kenneth Capra.

Chapter 62

Kenneth greedily scanned Sophia with his eyes, a glint flashing in his gaze that instinctively repulsed people.

"Ms. Cruise, I've long heard of your reputation. As the parachuted director of Eagle Entertainment, we should have contacted each other earlier. Let's replace an opportunity to have dinner together sometime!" Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth, "Let's talk about it if there's a chance."

Kenneth didn't know Derick's identity, he just thought he was attractive and assumed he was a newly signed artist under Eagle Entertainment.

Molly watched as she ignored her, snorted coldly, her face falling:

"Ms. Cruise is already divorced, she naturally wouldn't reject you, everyone has a chance!"

Kenneth raised an eyebrow, his smile full of implications.

Chapter 62

After all, he also wanted to taste what Pierce's woman was like.

Sophia gave Molly a cold glance, watching her smugly twirling the bracelet that had just been displayed on stage, and let out a soft laugh.

So it was Molly who had been bidding all along, thinking that Derick was bidding for her?

She ignored it, not wanting to engage in a verbal dispute with such a

woman.

Molly glanced at Derick, couldn't help but say with a sour tone:

"Mr. Woodward wouldn't mind, would he? After all, Ms. Cruise is still entangled with Mr. Clement, and here she is, hooking you in as well. Honestly, I'm green with envy at such tactics!" Derick's face slightly darkened, he gave Molly a cold, icy look, his tone clear and gloomy:

Chapter 62

"I pursued Ms. Cruise openly and honestly, not as sordid as you think. Besides, Ms. Cruise is more beautiful and charming than you, your envy

is useless."

This was the first time Molly had been called ugly. She had always had it easy in her circle, being used to being flattered by everyone.

Being called ugly by the man I fancied, such a blow really drove me crazy!

Molly's face turned slightly pale with anger, and she unpleasantly grabbed Kenneth's clothes.

Kenneth still favored Molly quite a bit, and immediately smoothed things over with a laugh:

"Alright, you're a big star and you still have the opportunity to work with Ms. Cruise, don't be too capricious."

Chapter 62

Molly snorted coldly, turned her gaze away, and coquettishly clung to Kenneth's arm.

"People wouldn't collaborate with such a person, who had a bad character and a chaotic personal life!"

Kenneth fell for it, laughing as he wrapped his arms around Molly and left.

Sophia sneered inwardly, wasn't she talking about herself with her corrupt character and chaotic private life? Derick was watching Sophia from the side, her expression was indifferent, she wasn't really angry.

"Sophia, don't be angry, she is really terrible, don't let her affect your mood!"

Sophia laughed, "No way."

Just a Molly, a nobody who couldn't even compare to a grasshopper.

Derick held his phone, not knowing who he had sent a message to.

Then he watched her with a smile.

"Shall we go grab something to eat?"

Sophia was about to strike up a conversation when Cecilia walked over from the side, smiling with a gentle and gracious demeanor:

"Mr. Woodward, right? I heard about you from Mr. Cruise. There's a project I'd like to discuss with you. Do you have some time?" Sophia looked at her mother, Cecilia winked at her, telling her to shut up.
