However, Sophia calmly looked at her, put her index finger to her lips, and asked her to be quiet.
“Don’t struggle, in case you accidentally fall, it won’t be good.”
She slowly tied the rope to the rickety window.
The knot that was tied was a live knot.
Annie saw and became even more desperate…
Sophia took a deep breath, feeling finally a bit more comfortable inside.
The heavy stone that had fallen to the bottom of her heart, the recurring nightmare of the cruise ship sinking day after day, she was finally able to relieve some of it.
Great, instead of torturing myself, it’s better to torture others!
She washed the towel clean and put it aside.
Standing in front of the mirror, she moistened her fresh and full lips.

Then opened the door and went out.
The walls in the corridor were intricate and exquisite, clearly in the Baroque style.
The oil painting on the wall was heavily brushed, with a noble style.
Round wall lamps were tightly fastened to the wall, casting bright and dim halos.
She didn’t walk far.
Discovered a tall and noble figure standing by the wall.
Among the interplay of light and shadow, his expression was complex, his eyes and brows concealing a sharp edge.
Pierce stood there, his dark eyes deep as an abyss, scrutinizing with a hint of scrutiny.
Somewhat unfamiliar.
Sophia didn’t know if he had heard anything outside, she felt a momentary oppression in her heart, but still walked back without looking sideways.

The two gradually approached each other.
The warm, calm, and cold scent of agarwood slowly diffused from him, Sophia’s arm was grabbed by someone.
Her pupils sank, she raised her eyes, cold and indifferent, staring at him.
Pierce’s clear and melodious voice carried a hint of calmness:
“Did we know each other?”
A flicker of surprise crossed Sophia’s mind as she looked at Pierce, who was serious yet not joking.
She lowered her gaze, then let out a soft laugh:
“Better not to have known.”
Was he pretending, or was it real?
Did he actually forget her?
Pierce, he was truly lucky, so lucky that those who wanted to condemn his despicable shamelessness couldn’t take the moral high ground.

Pierce’s brow furrowed, he stared at her face, his tone firm:
“We knew each other.”
Sophia slightly lifted her eyelids, her eyes cold and aloof, pulling her arm out of his grasp.
Seemed not to want to say much.
Pierce’s gaze was as tranquil and deep as ink, his thin lips slightly parted:
“I knew it, did you pursue me before? Did you like me?”
Sophia rolled her eyes in silence.
Camille had turned from innocent to greedy.
Annie turned from gentle to vicious.
Only Pierce, as always, was self–satisfied, which was annoying.
She turned her head, giving him a cold stare, her thin eyebrows slightly furrowed:
“It wasn’t easy for Mr. Clement to persistently be shameless.”

She said, immédiately lifted her foot and left, feeling suffocated even for an extra second.
“What about Annie? She was clearly also in the bathroom.”
Pierce suddenly asked.
Sophia paused, her face instantly clouded over, and she turned her head.
She gave a meaningful smile:
“Go in and find it yourself!”
They were together, and Sophia felt nothing inside.
Even though Annie was now Mrs. Clement, she managed to not care at all.
Pierce was already history to her.
The person she wanted to take revenge on, if Pierce dared to stop her, she would deal with him too.
Anyway, none of them were good things.
Sophia walked with no hesitation or delay.

She returned to the banquet hall, removed the bracelet from her wrist that could be adjusted to the thickness of a finger, and gave it back to the foreign woman who had already returned.
Would Annie have been furious if she knew that what scared her half to death was not a gun, but just a bracelet?
She turned around in high spirits, only to suddenly see an unexpected person standing there, smiling at her radiantly.
Sophia stiffened slightly, her eyes instantly reddening.
The tall and upright man approached, his demeanor noble, nonchalant, a faint smile playing on his lips:
“We suffered, Ms. Cruise.”
In a single sentence, Sophia’s tears were nearly uncontrollable.
She opened her mouth slightly, choking out, “Uncle…”
Derick had her surrounded, leaving no room for escape.
She didn’t know how many pairs of eyes were secretly watching her.
Edmund had a hard time finding an opportunity to meet, so

naturally, he was not willing to miss this good opportunity.
He looked her up and down, then sighed with a pang of heartache.
“Sophia, don’t be afraid, Uncle was just here to take you away.”
Edmund was Brycen’s younger brother, only ten years older than Sophia.
After his birth, the Cruise Group had already gradually grown in scale, so like Sophia and Kylan, he practically grew up in a honey pot.
Brycen had a special affection for his younger brother, but Edmund was loose and unruly in character, almost a prodigal, causing quite a bit of trouble.
Brycen could only send people abroad, it was both an evasion and a form of training.
After he went abroad, he carved out a kingdom for himself, but no one associated him with the Cruise Group in his home country.
Upon seeing him, Sophia saw hope and nodded heavily.
Edmund glanced around casually, like a person who had just

“I recently caused some trouble for him. If you get a chance, take a strand of Derick’s hair.”

Sophia suddenly looked up, “Hair?”
What’s the use of hair, Sophia thought of it all at once.
Verified the identity.
But who did he verify with?
Just as Edmund was about to speak, the people inside the door came out one after another, laughing and talking.
The people in the banquet hall had all gathered to exchange greetings.
Only Derick stepped out of the crowd, saw Sophia standing alone in front of the buffet, hesitating about which dessert to
eat.
Derick’s face, gentle and handsome, stood out in the crowd. His aura was strong and cool, but his temperament always carried a bit of clear and gentle charm, which was pleasing to the eye.
He gently yet firmly declined several CEOs who approached him

for a chat, and walked behind Sophia.
“You’ve been out for so long without returning, I thought…”
Sophia gave a faint smile, “Thought I ran away?”
Derick quietly looked at her for a few seconds: “You won’t.”
Sophia still gave up the idea of eating here.
Although the dim sum was exquisite, the thought of its overly sweet taste took away half of her appetite.
The waiter brought them their coats.
Derick took over, first draping the coat over Sophia, then picking up his own, and left with her.
Just as I had stepped out, I heard a sharp scream coming from the direction of the bathroom behind me…
In the pitch–black night, there was a somewhat damp and chilly feeling. A light drizzle had wetted the thick waxy leaves, which then gathered into water droplets of various sizes and fell to the ground.
The ground reflected the dazzling neon lights.

It was as if the night had been torn in two.
Derick opened the door for her, but Sophia did not get in the car.
She stood in the drizzle, turned around, and slightly tilted her head back.
Her profile was delicate and bright, her lips were lustrous and full, and her eyes and eyebrows were lively.
She looked at the height of the twenty–second floor, at the figure teetering in the air.
A look of regret appeared on the face.
What a pity, she didn’t fall down.
Oh, she forgot to put a “Out of Order” sign at the bathroom door.
So that’s why it was discovered so quickly by people?
Derick glanced upwards, his face subtly changing, and instantly turned his head to look at her.
She still maintained her gentle yet aloof demeanor, with a hint of indifference in her eyes…
