Chapter 112: Rejecting the Party A
Derek was so angry that he couldn’t even speak, he just sat there pointing at her.
“You were simply… When you arranged the blind date for them, I already told Ms. Cruise. She didn’t
say anything, she was dignified and graceful. It must have been you who angered her!”
“You really are short–sighted. Without the contract, what right does our family have to become in–laws
with the Clement family?”
With a slight nudge, Gillian instantly noticed something.
“What should we do then?”
She looked at her husband in panic.
“Annie is our daughter, if she couldn’t marry Pierce, we would be ridiculed!”
“I told you long ago, it was just a blind date, don’t spread the news. Who made you so impatient?”
Derek couldn’t help but reprimand.
Gillian felt wronged, “Mrs. Clement said that Annie was the most suitable candidate…”
Derek was so angry that his face turned the color of a pig’s liver.
The more they spoke, the uglier it became.
In the end, Derek, with a shy face, took the gift to Eagle Entertainment.

Chapter 112. Rejecting the Party A
Sophia had just come out of the meeting room, taking a sip of her coffee.
Derek smiled politely:
“Ms. Cruise.”
Sophia smiled, “Mr. Stapleton, long time no see, how have you been?”
“Fortunately, with age comes more problems, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
Mr. Stapleton followed to Sophia’s office.
He knew that Mike valued Sophia, entrusting her with matters big and small.
Rather than going directly to Mike, it was better to approach Sophia. Otherwise, if Sophia was
offended, it would be even more difficult to cooperate in the future.
He took out a gift box from his carry–on bag, which seemed to be some kind of jewelry.
“Please consider this small gift as compensation for the ignorance my wife and daughter showed last
time, Ms. Cruise. Please do not refuse it.”
It seemed that he already knew.
Sophia cast her eyes down, smiled, but didn’t open it, she just backed
away:
“Mr. Stapleton, we have already found a partner for that project, I’m afraid it’s too late. If we break the
contract, the money we have to pay is far more than what a piece of jewelry can cover.”

Mr. Stapleton’s smile stiffened, but he still casually nodded.
“I understand, so many things happened while I was hospitalized, I really owe Ms. Cruise an apology. I
have already reprimanded my wife, her loose tongue indeed makes people angry. This is just a small
gift, Ms. Cruise, please don’t mind.”
Sophia chuckled, “I’m flattered, but Mrs. Stapleton is my elder. I didn’t do much. However, I have
scolded Ms. Stapleton for gossiping behind people’s backs. I hope Mr. Stapleton doesn’t mind.”
Mr. Stapleton was taken aback, then chuckled:
“How could it be, she was spoiled by her mother!”
Sophia raised an eyebrow, took a casual sip of her coffee, and stared expressionlessly at the email on
her computer.

Mr. Stapleton was momentarily embarrassed, he rubbed his hands together, unable to resist speaking
up:
“Ms. Cruise, let’s forget about this contract, could the next one possibly…”
Sophia interrupted him with a laugh:
“Mr. Stapleton, following Mr. Brant’s instructions, we signed a five- year contract with a new partner, I’m
afraid we can’t continue to cooperate with you.”
Mr. Stapleton’s face turned white all at once.
“Ms. Cruise……”
“Sorry, Mr. Stapleton.”
Sophia apologized with a smile.

Chapter 110 Rejecting the Party A
She didn’t have much malice towards Mr. Stapleton, but his wife and daughter were just too
undeserving of heaven and earth.
She couldn’t possibly swallow her pride and act as if nothing had happened.
Moreover, Mr. Stapleton had always been tied to Eagle Entertainment at a high price, it was indeed
time for a change.
Mr. Stapleton’s face faltered for a moment, then he stood up:
“I understand, Ms. Cruise. Goodbye.”
Sophia stood up with a smile and nodded, casually greeting Aylen: Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Sent off Mr. Stapleton.”
She casually passed Mr. Stapleton’s gift over, and Aylen understood immediately.
“Yes.”
Aylen ran after him, returning the gift to Mr. Stapleton at the door.
“No pay, no gain. Ms. Cruise has always refrained from accepting gifts from clients. Mr. Stapleton, don’t
be polite, feel free to come to us if you need anything in the future.”
Mr. Stapleton tugged at the corner of his mouth and chuckled.
He returned home with his head hung low, and drank a bottle of vodka in one go.
Gillian came back from playing cards and got a shock when she looked.
Annie found out about this matter and also went from being calm to

becoming anxious.
“Either… or I could go ask Pierce’s mother for help, to see if we could collaborate with the Clement
family?”
If we could connect with the Clement family, would we still worry about not having cooperation?
What was Eagle Entertainment?
Derek rubbed his forehead and sneered:
“It would have been better if you had gone to apologize to Sophia.”
He spoke in a daze, then went straight upstairs to rest.
Gillian and Annie exchanged a glance.
Apologize?
That was impossible!
Not many days ago.
When Annie visited Ava, she casually mentioned this matter.
Ava, however, acted as if she hadn’t heard, completely disregarding it.
She originally had a good impression of Annie, but when it came to interests, it was different.
She indirectly advised Annie:
“You should interfere less with your maiden family’s affairs in the future. Once you’re married, you’re an
outsider. Do you really need to meddle in your maiden family’s affairs for a lifetime?”
You were lucky to have married into the Clement family. What ability

would an ordinary family have to let you manage your maternal home?
You’re what’s called a brother–supporting demon. Even though your brother just started college, the
Stapleton family will all be his in the future. What does that have to do with you?
“No matter what family one comes from, nobody likes to favor the demon who supports their maternal
family!”
Annie listened to her words, her face so red it seemed like it could bleed.
After that, they didn’t dare to plead anymore.
Because she understood the underlying meaning of Ava’s words.
It was said that the talk of a good match with the Stapleton family was merely elevating them, they
were only slightly better off than Sophia’s family.
But compared to the Clement family, it was nothing. What right did they have to ask the Clement family
to support the Stapleton family before they were even engaged?
Annie continued to drink tea with Ava, forcing a smile, but her mind was already elsewhere.
An auction quietly arrived.
Cecilia was very expectant.
So she had asked Sophia to set aside time in advance to accompany her.
Sophia changed into a low–key black mini dress and stood next to the attention–grabbing Cecilia,
barely noticeable.

Cecilia looked at her outfit, still somewhat dissatisfied with it being too understated:
“My assistant dressed more flamboyantly than you!”
Sophia chuckled, “Minimalism is in style now!”
“Who were you trying to fool?”
Cecilia glared at her, then walked in with her head held high and her chest out.
When Cecilia made her appearance, she was naturally the center of
attention.
Quite a few people came over to exchange pleasantries and jokes, and Sophia naturally fell behind.
Sophia didn’t go in until after she had taken a seat.
Cecilia spoke in a low voice:
“Shall I buy you a pink diamond and find a designer to design it in the style you like?”
Sophia raised an eyebrow, looking at her with a smile:
“Alright then!”
She wouldn’t refuse her mother’s kindness.
Cecilia sat there happily.
Enthusiastically looked at the 3D exhibits on the iPad in hand.
The first item exhibited was a pink diamond, named “Spring“.
The pink diamond shimmered brilliantly under the light, dazzling and

stunning, the kind of amazing that one couldn’t take their eyes off.
Sophia had seen many diamonds from her childhood to adulthood, but girls had an indescribable
fondness for these sparkling things.
She was still somewhat excited.
