FreeNovelChapter 124: For the Sake of a Woman
Annie’s attitude had changed from her usual obedient gentleness, instead carrying a hint of arrogance. She provocatively raised
the corner of her eye, looking at Sophia.
Sophia glanced at her, said nothing, and was about to go past her to
enter.
As a result, Annie stepped in front of her, a hint of coldness in her eyes and brows:
“Ms. Cruise, you are not welcome here. Leave quickly while no one is watching!”
Sophia chuckled lightly, her eyes lazily sweeping over her, and said with profound meaning:
“I was not invited by you, and you had no right to drive me away.”
The light poured down, falling on her. Sophia’s skin was so white it glowed, her entire being delicate and stunning, her beauty
impossible. to conceal.
Annie stifled her laughter, took a step forward, and began to speak in a low voice:
“Sophia, whatever you did to my home, I will make you taste the same.”
“Show me what you’ve got.”
Sophia gave a careless laugh, completely disregarding Annie.

Chapte 1 For the Bake of a Woman
There were plenty of young ladies in this circle who had ambitions. higher than the sky, yet lacked any real abilities.
The real socialites who could stand firm in their circles, besides the support of their family power behind them, also had to keep
up with their own abilities.
She had just stepped down the stairs, holding her skirt, when she saw a handsome man in a suit approaching her,
“Ms. Cruise, I’ve long admired your reputation. I’m Daniel from Codepath Tech.”
Sophia was taken aback, then laughed with joy:
“Mr. Vandenberg, it was a pleasure to meet you!”
After searching for him for so long, he finally showed up!
However, considering that this Daniel often frequented male bars, his sexual orientation was probably gay, and he had always
been friendly towards women.
Daniel’s demeanor was polite, even his gaze was just right and comfortable, not causing Sophia any discomfort.
However, when Sophia mentioned the acquisition, Daniel’s attitude became somewhat elusive.
The place where the two people sat was crowded, not the best situation for discussing matters.
People came over to say hello from time to time, interrupting my thoughts.
The two people had not even finished half of their conversation when they suddenly heard a small commotion coming from the
crowd,

Sophia looked over and saw that it was a staff member pushing a delicate cake with over ten layers to the center. The words
“Happy Ever After” were written on the cake.
Ava and Kamden stood in the middle, with Annie in a red dress standing next to them. The shyness on Annie’s face represented
something.
And Pierce, on the other hand, was rushed over at the urging of Kamden,
He looked somewhat annoyed, scanning the crowd, but didn’t see the person he was looking for.
Ava had pushed him next to Annie, standing in front of the cake.
Annie nervously picked up the knife in front of her, looking at Pierce.
Pierce furrowed his brow, then gripped the end of the knife handle and made the first cut.
And then, everyone started clapping one after another.
Sophia withdrew her gaze, somewhat lost in thought.
Daniel across from her glanced at her and said with a smile:
“Did I hear that today’s cruise banquet was specifically organized by Mr. Clement for a woman, the woman who is rumored to be
his fiancée?”
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth, “Not sure, maybe.”
Daniel gave her a meaningful glance:

hapter 124 for the Sake of a Woman
“It was evident that Ms. Cruise focused on her career after her divorce, which was admirable.”
Sophia chuckled, saying calmly:
“I just felt that a career was much more interesting than men. No matter how much you put in, you would get a return. But when
you invest emotions in men, it’s like throwing a meat bun at a dog – it’s gone and never comes back.”
As the two people were talking, Pierce finally found her,
With a stern look on his face, he watched her chatting happily with Daniel and walked over somewhat discontentedly:
“How were you here?”
Sophia paused, her smile fading:
“I didn’t need to report my whereabouts to Mr. Clement, did I?”
She certainly didn’t want to have a conflict with him in front of everyone. It was really embarrassing!
Pierce completely ignored the coldness in her words and walked over: .
“The auction on the second floor was about to start, want to go check it
out?”
Sophia frowned, not wanting to go up, but Daniel had already stood up, smiling as he said:
“Perfect, I ran into two acquaintances. I’ll go say hello. Ms. Cruise, we’ll chat later!”
He nodded gently at her, leaving Sophia unable to find any grudges.

Chapter 124. For the Sake of a Vroman
The second floor was equally resplendent and dazzling, but there were noticeably fewer people.
Because the items at the auction were extremely expensive, only those who were interested in bidding could come up.
Sophia looked at the collections displayed in the glass cabinets around her, which were mostly antique jewelry and the like.
The deep blue gemstone “Tears of the Ocean” in the middle undoubtedly became the grand finale.
However, there was no price marked on the starting bid tag, indicating that the highest price of the night could very likely come
from “Tears of the Ocean“.
She raised an eyebrow, Pierce moved behind her.
“Did you like it? I bought it for you?”
Sophia pursed her lips, “No need, I can afford it.”.
Not to mention she didn’t even want it.
At this moment, Annie was also being surrounded and brought up by people.
As the “half protagonist” of the day, her every move naturally attracted much attention.
Being able to stand with the Clement family to cut the cake meant that they were about to enter.
The previous engagement rumors were very likely true!

Annie walked over with a smile, “Don’t be shy about what you like, Ms. Cruise. Let Mr. Clement buy it for you.”
Her generous speech made everyone around her feel that she was broad-minded.
She certainly looked like the lady of the house!
Pierce also nodded, looking at Sophia.
Sophia truly didn’t want to get involved between these two people. It felt just like stepping on shit while walking on the road,
utterly disgusting.
She tugged at the corner of her mouth, “I always feel guilty accepting gifts from others. I prefer to buy things myself.”
Annie couldn’t help but laugh:
“Ms. Cruise truly deserved to be the director of the entertainment company. Now, when people mention powerful women, they
think of you, Ms. Cruise. Your noble and stubborn character is something my family has always encouraged me to learn from!”
She openly praised Sophia, but her words were laced with hidden sarcasm and criticism towards her.
It wasn’t that everyone couldn’t hear, they were just quietly listening to the sharp exchanges between the two women, all feeling
the undercurrents surging.
Looking at Sophia again, her face was indifferent and calm, without any signs of being provoked, she was naturally smiling
slightly.
“No need to study, everyone has their own strengths. After all, Ms. Stapleton’s accomplishments in piano are unparalleled.”

Chapter 124 For the Sake of a Woman
Right, Ms. Stapleton must have won many international awards in piano, hadn’t she?
“What about the Chopin International Piano Competition, the Tchaikovsky International Music Competition, or the Queen
Elisabeth International Music Competition and the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition? You must have gotten tired of
winning all these major awards, right?”
Sophia looked at Annie innocently and humbly, with an air of modesty.
Annie’s face stiffened harshly, and then even her lips turned white.
She had been playing the piano for so many years, and the awards she won were all ones that could be bought with money
domestically.
Sophia said that those were all top international piano competitions, she didn’t even have a chance to advance...
