Chapter 55: Taking Action Early
Sophia gave her a cold, indifferent look, her eyes and brows expressing aloofness.
“Not everyone enjoyed being a third wheel like Mrs. Clement did!”
She deliberately endured Ava’s humiliation towards herself, but she couldn’t tolerate her disrespect towards her own mother.
Ava’s face dramatically changed, turning extremely pale and ugly, her chest heaving with anger:
“Sophia, shut up!”
How could she not be angry when her own disgrace was so blatantly humiliated by the daughter–in–law she once trampled underfoot?
She was just about to point at Sophia and scold her, but Sophia turned and walked away.
Couldn’t be bothered to give Ava another glance!
However, Emelia, who saw this scene not far away, walked over with great excitement.
I had no hope, but Sophia had even less hope!
“Auntie, what a coincidence.”
When Ava saw Emelia, she immediately composed her expression, putting on an air of superiority, and snorted coldly:
“How were you here?”
Chapter 55: Taking Action Early
Emelia began cautiously:
“My wrist needed to be re–bandaged, and I just happened to see Sophia bullying you. She really is so thoughtless, how could she be so rude? After all, you are her former mother–in–law. It’s clear that her previous respect for you was all pretense!”
Ava looked pale, gritting her teeth.
Sophia was indeed good at pretending, her true face now made her grit her teeth in hatred.
Although Emelia was pretentious with her green tea, at least she didn’t dare to openly defy herself.
“You didn’t need to stick around for the show either. Even if Sophia was out of the picture, you wouldn’t have been able to get into the Clement family.”
Luke’s situation bothered her.
Ava snorted coldly, looking down on Emelia in her heart.
Emelia’s smile stiffened, then she carefully went over to her, ingratiatingly saying:
“Aunt, I really wanted to be close to you in my heart, regardless of whether I could enter the Clement family or not. My feelings for Pierce have always been genuine. I don’t deserve him, even a distant glance at him is good enough for me.”
She reluctantly lowered her stance, biting her lower lip, looking at Ava without saying a word, feeling a sense of relief in her heart.
A bootlicker in a hurry to please, Ava would not refuse.
“Were you sick, why did you come to the hospital?”
Chapter 55. Taking Action Early
Emelia asked considerately,
Ava snorted coldly, walking out while saying:
“The old lady was about to wake up, she really had a strong will to live!”
Upon hearing Ava’s words, Emelia’s face changed instantly.
A flicker of panic crossed her eyes, a slight tremor at the tip of her heart, a bad thought surged into her mind.
How much did the old lady know about her affairs, did she also know about the events from three years ago?
If she had woken up, he would have been done for.
She couldn’t let such a dangerous thing happen!
Emelia gritted her teeth, her face pale, and managed a pleasing smile, showing a gentle kindness.
“Aunt, I had to go up to change the medicine, next time you need something, just tell me.”
Ava couldn’t be bothered to deal with her and just walked away, turning a deaf ear.
Emelia took a deep breath, immediately pulled out her phone, frantically found a certain number, her voice exceptionally cold.
“The old lady woke up, we must hurry and take her out!”
“Good girl, this is a different price!”
Emelia was frantically pacing around, her heart clenched in anxiety:
“Money, money, money, that’s all you know. If I get exposed, don’t

think you can escape!”
“Saying these things is useless, would I dare to kill someone if I didn’t have money?”
Emelia took a deep breath and gritted her teeth:
“Fine. I’ll give you the money. By tomorrow, the latest by tomorrow, the person must die!”
“Good girl, don’t worry!”
The woman on the phone hung up, but Emelia’s heart couldn’t calm down for a long time.
The Clement family had all come today, afraid there might not be another chance.
Could only wait until tomorrow.
At night.
Luke had another bout of “high fever“, and Emelia brazenly moved into the original hospital ward.
the Cruise’s place.
When Sophia got home, Cecilia was already in the kitchen, cooking and laughing with Brycen.
Brycen was a man of principle; he absolutely would not cook if Cecilia was not around.
If Cecilia was cooking, he couldn’t just sit and watch, he had to participate.
So as soon as Sophia got home, she heard Brycen running around
Chapter 55: Taking Action Early
busily, without delaying to express his longing to Cecilia during this period.
Kylan was reading emails in the living room when he saw Sophia come in. He smiled and began to speak:
“Quickly go check the kitchen!”
Sophia had a bit of a headache, she slowly walked in, watching Cecilia frying steak, with Brycen pacing around her, wishing he could do it himself.
“Be careful, don’t bounce it onto your hand.”
Cecilia laughed, “Was the heat a bit too high?”
Brycen: “It’s okay, Kylan and Sophia liked this kind.”
Sophia: “..
She couldn’t help but cough, and Brycen reined in his sticky laughter, looking at her seriously:
“Are you back?”
Sophia nodded, holding back a laugh:
“Dad, I didn’t like eating mushy food!”
Brycen clicked his tongue, “No picky eating!”
On the dining table.
Cecilia poured a glass of red wine for everyone.
Finally, mentioned encountering Ava in the hospital.
Sophia briefly explained the reason why she had gone.

Chapter 55: Taking Action Early
Cecilia nodded, letting out a soft laugh:
“Mrs. Clement thought the Clement family was a hot cake, arranging blind dates for her son everywhere. I heard that she had been in contact with many socialites and noble ladies recently, planning to find a well- matched partner for Pierce.”
Sophia was expressionless, without any ripple of emotion.
“Then let her look, she may like others, but others must also like her!”
Seeing her indifferent demeanor, Cecilia felt slightly relieved.
She was truly afraid that her daughter hadn’t let go yet.
Especially when she saw Ava humiliating Sophia at the hospital entrance, she wished she could rush up to protect her.
Brycen took a sip of his wine on the side, and began to speak with a smile:
“Alright, let’s not talk about unhappy things anymore. In a few days, there will be a charity auction. Sophia and Kylan should go together.”
Sophia raised an eyebrow, “Alright then.”
Naturally, Kylan had no objections either.
The next day, inside the hospital.
Sophia didn’t quite trust Bianca, so she went to the hospital again before work.
She took the elevator upstairs.
As a result, the elevator stopped at the floor below the VIP level, and there was no one outside.
Chapter 55: Taking Action Early
Then, the elevator suddenly lost power and could no longer operate.
She hurriedly went out, having no choice but to take the stairs herself.
But luckily, I wasn’t locked inside.
Sophia went to the stairwell, took a few steps, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps coming up.
She glanced subconsciously, only seeing a head of black curly hair.
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, a strong sense of foreboding hit her abruptly.
But the next second, the footsteps stopped, and the person was gone.
Sophia took a deep breath, quickened her pace, and left the elevator lobby.
She stood at the entrance of the ward, and the bodyguard at the door did not stop her.
Bianca’s condition was the same as yesterday.
She had her bodyguards be extra vigilant today, and then had them call Pierce, saying that the killer might have arrived at the hospital.
Pierce had already reached upstairs before the phone was even hung
- up.
Sophia was just about to leave when she saw him coming.
Pierce’s face was grave as he walked over:
“Would you come with me to take a look at the surveillance?”
He knew the information was provided by Sophia.
