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.”

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.
