The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 375

As Sophia had misunderstood John, she darted a glare at him. "Why? Do you mean to tell me that I shouldn't bring this up because I wasn't hurt?"

Blinking his eyes, John exclaimed, "That's not what I meant."

Seeing that, lan rose up from his seat. "If it wasn't me who found out about it, that person would have already succeeded."

Agreeing to the statement, Sophia chimed in, "Exactly! lan noticed there was someone in my room and warned me about it. Otherwise, I would have been the one who got beaten up."

Pulling a long face, Sophia complained, "Your mother had caused me a lot of troubles. Admittedly, she lost out to me a couple of times, but I can assure you-she was the one who started it every single time. So what if she can't win against me? Does that mean she can backstab me?"

Taking in a deep breath, John said, "Let me handle this. I'll promise to give you an explanation on this and I won't brush it off.”

Gazing at John, Sophia felt she didn't really need an explanation from him; all she wanted was to inform John of Mrs. Constance's doings. Up till now, Sophia couldn't understand why Mrs. Constance would do such a thing to her. She really didn't seem to have learned her lesson.

Licking his lips, Logan walked over. "John, was it really your mom who did it? Was it even necessary to go to that extreme? The scandal about you over the Internet has in fact got nothing to do with Sophia. She couldn't possibly push all the blame on Sophia for those things those people had said!"

Logan could only make wild guesses as he wasn't aware of the whole situation.

Unwilling to explain further, Sophia turned to John and said, "Considering the fact that your mother had the nerve to do it now, I have a bad feeling that she'll do it again. John, I don't think I'll be that lucky all the time, and I simply can't force myself to forgive her every time."

Letting out a heavy sigh, Sophia continued, "This is the first time and it'll be the last. If this happens again, I don't care how the netizens will react to it. Believe me; I'll do anything."

Raising his hand, John wanted to tidy up Sophia's hair, but he held back in the end. "There won't be a next time. Believe me."

"Alright. I'll believe you this time." Sophia then smiled.

After that, John didn't stay around but left immediately.

As soon as he got out of Sophia's house, he called up William. Initially, William intended to continue working overtime in the office, but the moment he heard John's voice over the call, he knew that John wasn't in a good mood. Thus, he assumed that it was due to the scandal on the Internet, so he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

"Come home. We'll talk then," said John directly.

Before William could reply, John had hung up the phone.

William knew his son well; if it wasn't something important, John wouldn't have acted that way. Without further ado, he had packed up his stuff and drove home.

Once William reached home, he saw John sitting on the couch together with Old Mrs. Constance. The moment William stepped in, he asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen again?"

Without looking at William, John said, "Yeap. Something happened. It's not a major issue, but it can't be called a minor issue either."

Casting a glance at his mother, William saw that she was befuddled as well. As soon as John got home, he didn't utter a word and was just sitting there, remaining silent throughout the process even after she had tried to initiate conversation with him for three times.

Frowning, the old lady asked, "John, what's the matter? Say it out. Regardless of what the problem is, we'll think of something."

Leaning against the couch, John let out a deep sigh. "It's about Mom."

"Your mom?" the old lady asked in a direct manner. "Then, I guess it must be something bad."

With a sneer, John said, "Indeed, it really is something bad. Because of the previous incident, Mom must have felt humiliated by Sophia, so she holds a grudge against her. Today, she had hired someone to intrude Sophia's house when she wasn't at home. The person had gone in the house through the window, and was waiting in the house for the chance to beat Sophia up."
