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.
Anyway, I couldn’t invest much money.
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.
The first hole was a par three.

She lowered her head, aimed the pole at the hole on the green, swung,

but didn’t make it in.
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
“Consider it as a practice, the next shot officially starts.”
Even Pierce couldn’t help but curve the corners of his eyes.

But the next second.
The second ball steadily passed Pierce and went into the hole of the
green.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, then began to applaud her again.
“Ms. Cruise is not bad, she has improved!”
Mike counted the number of people on the side, adding Pierce’s five million, and spoke loudly:
“Twelve million!”

Sophia raised her third stick with a smile, and unsurprisingly, she scored again.
“Twenty–four million!”
“Thirty–six million!”
People could hardly laugh anymore, even the applause was sparse. They looked at Sophia in confusion.
The second round was a par–four hole.
The difficulty increased, the distance became further.
Pierce stood by, squinting his eyes.

Sophia, as usual, performed poorly on her first shot, and everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But the second shot also went in.
From the third pole to the tenth pole, there were even fewer mistakes.
Everyone completely lost their ability to laugh.
The difficulty of the five–pole hole in the third round was the greatest.
Sophia breezed in four times.
Mike was laughing so hard that he was almost in stitches on the side.
Felt for the first time that attracting investment was so easy!
Everyone present had noticed that Sophia was deliberately hiding her abilities.
However, she would make a mistake in every game, as a face–saving gesture for everyone else. Otherwise, the deception would
be too great.
Just one more ball was left, someone next to me started laughing and said:
“Ms. Cruise, it’s the last ball, hold steady!”

Pierce paused, “Don’t worry, I’ll go get the ball for you.”
It was no small feat for Sophia to have Pierce stoop to pick up the ball.
Even if everyone wanted to back out, it was impossible.
After all, Pierce was the one who got the most money.
He stood on the green, standing tall and upright, a soft glow enveloping him, as if he were coated in a layer of gold.

When he bent down to pick up the ball.
Sophia swung the rod in a daze, suddenly lost her grip, and the ball shot straight towards Pierce’s wrist.
Everyone gasped in surprise.
“Mr. Clement......”
She watched as Pierce’s face suddenly changed color, he was holding back, gripping his own wrist, and cold sweat had broken
out on his forehead.
However, after a brief pause, he slowly straightened up again and walked towards them.
Everyone slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

Mike also nervously glanced at Sophia.
“You were too accurate.”
He thought Sophia was airing her personal grievances in public!
Sophia felt a slight sinking in her heart, she was truly wronged. It was a moment of distraction that caused her to lose grip.

How could she possibly “bully” Pierce in public?
Pierce walked over, casting a casual glance at Sophia. With an air of nonchalance, he placed the ball on the ground with his
other hand, his voice rich and resonant:
“Let’s make up for a goal, the previous one didn’t count.”
Sophia’s complexion changed slightly, she looked up at him, her heart felt as if it had been squeezed, very uncomfortable.

“How was your wrist?”
Others also followed up with inquiries: “Yeah, Ms. Cruise’s aim is really good, is your wrist okay?”
“Mr. Clement, perhaps we should go to the hospital?”
“Yeah, yeah, let’s go take a look first!”

Pierce looked deeply into Sophia’s eyes, “Shall we finish the last ball before we go?”
It seemed as if he would keep waiting if she didn’t take that last shot.
Sophia lowered her eyes slightly, feeling suddenly flustered inside. Her swing was off, and she missed.
After a few jokes were shared among the crowd, Mike urged Pierce to go to the hospital.

Pierce watched as she didn’t come in, and somehow, his mood suddenly improved.
She was worrying about herself, so worried that she couldn’t even score a goal.
“Would Ms. Cruise accompany me?”
Sophia paused, “I go?”
“If you didn’t go, who would pay for the medical bills?”
A single sentence from Pierce left Sophia speechless, without even a reason to refuse.
She injured someone, so naturally, she should pay for the medical

expenses.
Mike squinted his eyes and took the golf club from Sophia’s hand with a smile.
“Go on, Ms. Cruise, make sure Mr. Clement is alright before you come back. I’ll stay here to prepare the investment contract!”
Otherwise, wouldn’t today have been wasted?
The medical conditions of the club were ultimately not as comprehensive as private hospitals.
Moreover, given Pierce’s status, not just anyone could treat him.
Two people got on the shuttle bus and arrived at the entrance. The person in charge kept apologizing, saying that their
preparations were not adequate and asked Pierce not to take it to heart.
Sophia felt somewhat guilty as she listened on the side.
Her responsibility had nothing to do with the club, yet it was the club that ended up apologizing.
At the door, the club’s people escorted me to the car.
Pierce finally gave Sophia a smile, before he spoke lightly:
“It’s okay, Ms. Cruise didn’t do it on purpose. It’s enough that she accompanied me to the hospital. I won’t hold her responsible.”

The club manager breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Sophia:
“Ms. Cruise, please, take good care of Mr. Clement for us,” they pleaded.
Sophia tugged at the corner of her mouth with a forced smile:

“Should have.”
This moral kidnapping was really sophisticated!
On the bus.
Pierce held his injured right wrist with his left hand, leaning back slightly with his eyes closed, not saying a word.
The car was very quiet, and Sophia couldn’t help but glance at his wrist several times.
Perhaps Pierce had noticed, he opened his eyes, his dark pupils capturing her gaze.
He extended his right hand...
