Chapter 99: Saying One Thing and Meaning Another

They were rarely intimate, but their communication at night was exceptionally harmonious.

Pierce’s pupils were pitch black, reflecting her delicate face in his eyes, as if a clear lake was rippling with the deepest secrets.

The palm of my hand was empty.

Sophia snapped back to reality, glaring at him with some annoyance, unwilling to show weakness, she hooked up the corner of her lips in defiance:

“Generally speaking, it’s all lies, utterly terrible.”

She said, and then walked right past him.

Pierce’s face darkened, anyone would be upset to hear such a comment.

Reflecting on their few encounters, her performance should have been considered satisfactory.

Watching her retreating figure, he gritted his teeth in silence:

“Words were not matching the heart.”

Sophia walked over, and/Mike, observing his niece’s expression, immediately made room:

“Come on, you take a turn.”

Sophia laughed, “I’m not good at it.”

Others laughed and chimed in, “Don’t be shy, Ms. Cruise, it’s just a

game. How about this, for every goal you score, we’ll put in a million. How does that sound?”

Everyone found it interesting: “Alright!”

They had just witnessed Sophia’s ball skills a moment ago, which were really not impressive.

So that’s why they started this gamble so generously.

Sophia blinked, watching them:

“Really?”

“Of course, Mr. Clement was there too. Did Mr. Clement agree?”

One of them called out to Pierce, who was standing not far away.

Pierce hooked the corner of his lip:

“I bet five million on scoring a goal.”

He just had to be different from others!

Mike clapped his hands and exclaimed excitedly:

“Alright, it’s settled then, Ms. Cruise. Whether we can attract investment this time is all up to you!”

Sophia, seemingly under great pressure, walked to the middle.

She played ball like a weakling, everyone was waiting to laugh at her.
