The Returning EX (John and Sophia)

Chapter 153

Since silence reigned on Zack’s end, Sophia continued, “Actually, you don’t need to worry so much on

behalf of your boss. Constance Company is vast, so they must have experienced all sorts of things.

You should trust that your boss can resolve such a trivial matter, so calm down, young man.”

After a few seconds, Zack changed the subject. “Where are you now? Are you still with that singer?”

Sophia blurted an assent. “Yup. We’re going to grab a bite.” She turned and looked at Ian while saying

into the phone, “Alright, let’s wrap this up. You must be quite busy over there, so I’ll talk to you next

time.” After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Turning his head, Ian glanced at her. “Your ex-husband?”

“My ex-husband’s assistant. My ex-husband wouldn’t call me because of such a matter.” Sophia

chortled. John is actually a very prideful person, so he won’t contact me over such an issue unless he

needs me to make an appearance. Even so, he’ll definitely sound as calm as ever, unlike Zack who

moans and groans.

Ian then drove her to a small restaurant. While it wasn’t anything luxurious, Sophia liked it since it was

such places she often patronized in the past. They went in and sat in the lobby before the server came

over with a menu.

Ian handed the menu to her, but she wasn’t hungry since she’d eaten quite a lot of dumplings in the

morning. Besides, it wasn’t even noon yet. So, she slid the menu back to him. “You go ahead and

order. I’m actually not hungry as I had a heavy breakfast.” Ian didn’t refuse. After all, he hadn’t eaten

anything in the morning, and he only took a few bites of the in-flight meal. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

While he was ordering, Sophia took a look at the news on the Internet again. Owing to the fact that her

and John’s wedding back then was grand, news reports were pouring in at an overwhelming rate. The

scandal of John betraying his marriage vows before a year had even passed was definitely attention-

grabbing news, and seemingly sensing this, the media pounced on it.

However, she didn’t find any press statements from the Constance Family even after searching for a

while, not even a single one. Bafflement swept through her. What is the Constance Family doing? Don’t

tell me they aren’t planning to address this matter? Aren’t they aware that many false rumors have

been taken as the truth after being circulated around, especially when this is such a huge sh*tstorm?

Well, they shouldn’t be keeping mum.

While Sophia was stumped, Zack was like a cat on hot bricks. However, it wasn’t because of the news

on the Internet. At present, Zack had paced back and forth countless times before the sofa in John’s

office. Then, he whirled around and stared at John. “Boss, what do you think Miss Gwendolyn meant

by that? Does she trust you that much?”

John was looking at his computer which was filled with gossip about him. Someone even dug out his

wedding photos with Sophia, enlarging their pre-wedding photo and wedding photo during the

reception. Sophia was smiling in the pre-wedding photo, the corners of her eyes crinkling. However, his

expression was a touch cold. Thus, they didn’t quite match. Similarly, she appeared happy in the

wedding photo during the reception, while he wore a long face the entire time. He actually couldn’t

remember the situation back then anymore. In actual fact, he wasn’t all that unhappy that day, merely

busy, but perhaps he neglected to adjust his expression accordingly. Thinking about that, he sighed

soundlessly.

Zack continued, exclaiming, “Miss Gwendolyn is truly not worried at all!”

Upon hearing this, John retracted his gaze from the computer and snorted without responding. After all,

he heard everything Sophia said on the phone earlier. It’s not about trusting me at all. She just can’t be

bothered since it’s of no concern to her.

Dejected, Zack plopped onto the sofa and changed the subject. “So, are we really not going to do

anything and just allow the rumors out there to make their rounds?” He twisted around and looked at

John. “That will greatly impact both you and the company.”

John, however, was clearly unconcerned. “There’s no hurry. Infinity Group must be at the end of its

rope to make such a move.” It’s a fictitious story, so while it could be effective when used to blackmail

me privately, it could never hold up to scrutiny when it becomes known to the entire world since it’s fake

anyway. When it’s proven fake in the end, the repercussions will definitely be severe for Infinity Group,

so they’re probably trying to take us with them considering their precarious situation these days.

Upon hearing this, curiosity gripped Zack. “Boss, tell me. How did you handle those people from Infinity

Group when they set you up back then?” he asked in a sly voice.

John raised his eyes and stared at him without saying a single word.
