Chapter 8 Condemnation From the Public

Sandra felt guilty as she looked at Sophia’s haggard face.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant? If only I hadn’t taken you out. I’m sorry…”

Sophia paused, forcing a bitter smile. Her eyes turned wet.

“What’s it got to do with you? Emelia purposely harmed me. If she had failed this time, she would try again. You’re not the one to blame.”

Sophia’s gaze became complicated.

The sorrow lingered in her mind. She would make Emelia pay for it.

Sandra took a deep breath.

“Videos and photos of the accident that night have spread, and everyone is cursing them on the Internet.

“Pierce is looking for you everywhere. I think he’s eager to solve it privately. Sophia, you can’t soften this time.”

Sophia’s eyes flashed. “Don’t worry. I’m not a lovestruck idiot

anymore.”

She thought, “Pierce wants me to cooperate with him to clean up hist mess like before, but sorry, I will only add fuel to the fire.”

Once Sandra was gone, Sophia pulled out her cell phone.

There were dozens of missed calls from Pierce, Devan, and the Clement’s home.

Sophia looked at the trending topics online.

“A mistress broke up a wealthy family” and “A mistress ran over the wife of her lover“.

The videos were shot by the dash cams of the cars parked around the clubhouse.

They recorded the whole thing from when she waited there to when she was hit.

Many people left comments to show their indignation.

“How ruthless she is! I don’t believe it was unintentional.”

“That woman is the mother of Pierce’s illegitimate child, right? What an unscrupulous home–wrecker!”

“Pierce is so foolish. Sophia is far better than this woman.”

“I feel so sad for Sophia. She did so much for Pierce, but in the end, he cheated on her. Men all love to cheat, right?”

“This woman should be arrested and sentenced for attempted murder.”

Most people condemned Pierce and Emelia online.

The Clement Group’s stock price dropped to an all–time low.

Sophia thought. “This is a major incident in the history of the Clement Group. No wonder Pierce is anxious.

“Since even the Clement Group cannot control public opinion, the Cruise family must have intervened.

“Although Dad promised to stay out of it, how can he possibly just
