Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 339

Staring at lan, Sophia encouraged, "Don't worry because if anything happens, Logan will come to your rescue by hiring a bunch of ghostwriters to clarify things for you on the internet through multiple fake accounts. In fact, there's nothing a good ghostwriter can't solve at this digital age."

Logan guffawed, "She's damn right."

Sophia had a lot of fun during the dinner; her life wasn't affected too considerably by the viral news on the internet about her divorce with John.

However, things were different for John..

Zack was asked to meet him at Constance Residence and the two of them opened one whole bottle of wine each in the dining hall.

In fact, Zack was not in the mood for drinking but he had no choice but to drink with John seeing how moody he looked, which was an expression Zack had never seen on him before.

However, he had to stop after two glasses of wine. Sitting at the dining table, he only slowly sipped the remaining wine in his wine glass as he observed John, who was downing the wine without uttering a word.

Zack heaved out a sigh. Did John ask him to be there just to watch him drink?

He glanced down at his phone to check for Sophia's reply but he didn't get any.

How heartless was that woman to be having such a great time enjoying a steamboat with friends at home?

He wondered why she didn't feel bad at all for John because he thought that any normal person would under these circumstances.

When the sky darkened outside, Old Mrs. Constance headed downstairs to the living room.

The sight of a dejected John made the elderly lady sad too.

Walking over to the dining hall with the help of a maid, she sat down at the head of the table and looked at him. "John, you shouldn't be too worried about the stuff on the internet because it will soon be handled."

Because of the effect of the wine, John quickly got emotional as his eyes went red-rimmed.

Old Mrs. Constance lamented, "We decided to keep the matter as a secret from the public back then because we were worried that things would get ugly. But now, things are still a mess despite our effort. We should have just announced your divorce to the public right after it took place at that time."

In fact, they could have solved what happened at Infinity Group differently.

The thing was, no one could foresee the future so none of them knew things would escalate into something as huge as this.

With that thought in mind, Old Mrs. Constance felt annoyed because it was all Matilda, that hopeless dumbass's fault.

Many things wouldn't have happened if it wasn't for her.

She knew that Mrs. Constance had gone back to her parents' house, which she thought was a good idea because she found the sight of Mrs. Constance irksome at the moment.

Although Mrs. Constance was a middle-aged woman, she was still very naive and ignorant, and she still saw herself as a princess.

Over the years, she offered no help to William's career at all and all she knew was to put on airs as his wife. Thinking that everyone was inferior to her, she didn't have a clue that there was actually nothing about her that was superior to others.

John finished the last glass of wine and put the glass back on the table.

John finished the last glass of wine and put the glass back on the table.

Then, he leaned on the chair, looked at the ceiling and let out a breath that reeked of alcohol.

Old Mrs. Constance sighed, "John, do you miss Sophia?"

John's eyes, which were opened at first, slowly closed after he heard his grandmother's question. "Nope. How's that possible?"

Old Mrs. Constance was unconvinced because she knew John was a tough guy and he had never appeared so deflated before when he was facing an issue.

It was only after a while did John ask her, "Grandma, why did you give Sophia the jade from Grandpa?"

Old Mrs. Constance was first taken aback by his question before she chuckled, "I think your Grandpa would be more than willing to give it to her since he fancied her a lot back then. In fact, it's not too big a deal." She explained it to him casually as though it was something insignificant.

Slowly, John turned to face his grandmother and remarked, "Grandma, it seems like you're starting to have a much more favorable opinion of Sophia."

Old Mrs. Constance replied with a smile, "That girl had a hard time during the time she was staying here. You guys have no clue how badly your mother treated her back then because you weren't at home much."

John lost his interest as soon as his mother was mentioned.

Zack too heaved out a sigh and commented, "In fact, I think Sophia is a really nice girl but it was just too stressful for her to stay here."
