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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanything in the morning, and he only took a few bites of the in-flight meal.
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.
