Ex-Husband's Regret (by Miss Dark) -
Dark Billionaire 68
Chapter
68
Pierce's eyes turned cold in an instant. When he glanced at her, there was a chill in his gaze.
Emelia looked, a slight tremor in her heart, unconsciously retracting her
gaze.
Ava was reminded and also felt that it couldn't be left like this.
"This time, I had to have that piece of clothing, absolutely had to!"
Pierce patted Ava's arm, speaking softly:
"So, did you wear that dress because you knew my dad wanted to go to Mautiland?"
Ava's face changed, "What?"
Chapter 68
Her eyes jolted, and she abruptly pushed him off the bed:
11
"Why didn't you say it earlier? He's actually going abroad. He's probably going to celebrate his ex-wife's birthday at this time. Why didn't you say it earlier!"
Pierce supported her, his expression somewhat softened:
"Dad couldn't, he had a business deal to discuss over there, and the business trip was arranged by the company."
But Ava had long stopped listening, the woman from Mautiland was a thorn in her heart.
She couldn't allow them to meet alone.
"Stop giving me that, it's a shame you're my son, only telling me about such an important matter now."
Chapter 68
Pierce pursed his lips, "I'll take you home."
Ava was already hurrying, wishing she could be home in a second.
And Emelia stood there in shock, with a slight sense of resentment in her
heart.
Was this matter just easily brushed off like that?
Pierce lagged a few steps behind, casting a glance at her. Emelia's expression immediately morphed into one of grievance, as she carefully watched him. "Pierce, I..."
"Before I found out about that child abroad, all you needed to do was take
care of Luke."
Chapter 68
His voice was indifferent, devoid of any warmth.

This matter made him feel very uncomfortable, especially Emelia's deliberate instigation of a dispute between Ava and Sophia. The purpose was too obvious. flickered slightly, she hesitated for a moment, then pursed
Emelia's gaze fl
her lips and said.
"Luke wasn't really Luke either, might as well send him to an orphanage..."
Since her identity had been exposed, she didn't have much affection or patience for that child anymore.
Pierce gave her a complex and dark look, his thin lips pressed into a straight line.
A few seconds later, he began to speak in a very soft voice:
Chapter 68
"I had the secretary replace someone to take care of it, you don't need to worry anymore."
As soon as he left, Emelia regretted it. It seemed she had noticed Pierce's cold and distant attitude, and she intuitively felt that she had made a terrible decision. When Kasen had someone come to pick up Luke, Emelia just wouldn't let
1. go.
In the end, it was Kasen who called Pierce, explained the reason, and Pierce let people go.
Hadn't said a word to Emelia.
She vaguely felt a sense of foreboding in her heart, which was somewhat
creepy.

Private dinner party.
The banquet was not heavily attended, but those who did come were all wealthy and high-ranking individuals.
Sophia and Derick arrived together, the two of them looking exceptionally well-matched.
Sparkle's project was lost, but Sophia's focus shifted to the new intelligent healthcare.
Coincidentally, the field Derick was involved in happened to include this, and he helped her strategize and pointed her in a new direction.
The cooperation was achieved smoothly this time, and Sophia was also very grateful for Derick's help.
The two people got along with even more understanding.
Chapter 68
Sophia was introducing Derick to the people coming and going at the party. As everyone came over to greet them, Derick naturally also gained a wave of resources.
"Ms. Cruise, it seems to me that you and Mr. Woodward are more than just friends. Mr. Woodward is indeed lucky. After all, Ms. Cruise, you have caught the attention of many young talents!" The other party joked ambiguously.
Derick said with a smile, "I wish I had that luck."
Neither denied nor admitted.
Sophia chuckled to herself, seeing the message from Sandra saying she also wanted to join the fun, she sent her location.
Glancing up, I saw Pierce approaching from not far away with a serious expression on his face.
Chapter 68
It wasn't surprising that Pierce could come.
After all, this circle was a tangled mess, a slight ripple would spread all
over.
Pierce came over holding a cup, his eyes indifferent as he tugged at the corner of his mouth:
"What were you talking about that made you so happy?"
He glanced at Derick, his gaze lingered on Sophia for a moment, and finally settled on the speaking boss.
The boss was also familiar with Pierce, and he began with a smile:
"I said Mr. Woodward was lucky, otherwise with so many young eyeing Ms. Cruise, it wouldn't have been Mr. Woodward's turn." talents
Chapter t
Seeing Pierce's face looking somewhat unwell, the boss suddenly thought of something and eagerly asked him:
"When did you set your wedding date with Ms. Wilson? Don't forget to invite me to the celebration!"
Pierce's face grew even more gloomy: "..."
Derick couldn't help but laugh:
"If there really was good news, Mr. Clement must not have kept it to himself."
Pierce watched Sophia's calm, emotionless face from the side, and immediately felt uncomfortable inside.
She rejected the Sparkle Project he offered, it turned out she already had a new goal, surprisingly related to Derick. Chapter M
A subtle, malicious jealousy spread within him, but he was completely unaware of it.
It was all because Derick, the stand-in, was too unaware, shamelessly sticking his face up time and time again!
His voice was indifferent, "I've always been upright and honest, unlike Mr. Woodward."
Derick:
Sophia glanced at him, said a few words with a smile that eased the atmosphere, then put down her wine glass and said softly to Derick:
"I went to the restroom."
Derick gave a slight nod.
Chapter 64
Pierce's Adam's apple bobbed slightly, his gaze dimming a bit.
The veins on his arm bulged slightly, the chill in his eyes no longer suppressed. He put down his wine glass heavily, staring coldly at Derick:
"I told you to stay away from her, Derick. Didn't you understand?"
Derick also calmly put down the cup in his hand, a sneer playing at the corner of his mouth:
"I've never been one to take discipline, was Mr. Clement being too meddlesome?"
"Ah, you guys..."
The boss next to him was somewhat unable to see the situation clearly.
Chapter
Why did the atmosphere become tense and even smell a bit like. gunpowder as soon as Sophia left?
With a seemingly amused yet not quite laughing expression, Derick looked at Pierce, showing no signs of backing down from his icy aura.
"You were both divorced, you should have kept your distance, otherwise it would affect us being together..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pierce, with a strong aura, stepped forward, his face gloomy as he grabbed his collar, and swung a punch at Derick's cheek. The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Derick also fought back without showing any weakness, the two of them going back and forth without a clear upper hand.
Soon, both individuals had sustained injuries.
Chapter 68
The person next to them came over, pulling them apart and began to mediate:
"What are you fighting for, how ugly it is, can't you just talk things out nicely!"
"Yeah, Mr. Woodward was about to become Ms. Cruise's boyfriend, and you, Mr. Clement, were still her ex-husband. We're all family here..."
After everyone had spoken, the two people fought even more fiercely!
They didn't pull the two apart until their respective assistants came in.
Sophia had washed her face in the bathroom when she suddenly heard a noise at the door.
A waiter stood nervously outside.
