John, who was up in the building, actually knew about Sophia being surrounded by the media long ago.

After all, it was such a huge commotion right at the company’s front doors. It would be absurd had he

not noticed it.

Zack was extremely worried, wanting to rush down to protect Sophia right away.

However, John appeared unconcerned. “You’ll only add to the chaos if you go down. Sophia isn’t the

idiot you think she is. Since she dared come here, she must be prepared.” He recalled how she’d riled

Mrs. Constance up that day to the point that she almost passed out from anger several times.

Even Mom who’s such an overbearing person lost at Sophia’s hand. While the media is slick, they

might not necessarily be her match either. After all, she’s no longer the person she was in the past.

John waited in his office for a long time, but Sophia never came. Instead, William came. “Sophia is

surrounded by the media downstairs. How are the two of you doing these days? Will she say anything

inappropriate?” William anxiously asked as soon as he entered.

John understood his meaning. It was only a few days earlier that Sophia had a row with Mrs.

Constance, so it was very likely that she hadn’t yet cooled off. If she were to go along with Infinity

Group’s accusations at this critical juncture, it wouldn’t look good for the Constance Family.

Standing by the window, he gazed out, but he was too high up to see the situation below clearly. After a

few seconds, he replied, “She won’t.” If William hadn’t mentioned that, he wouldn’t even have thought

of it. However, he believed that Sophia wouldn’t do that. There was no basis, but he just trusted her.

On the other hand, Sophia wasn’t at all bothered by the fact that no one from Constance Company

came out to help her. She jabbered and talked about everything under the sun. The media had

probably never seen someone as cooperative as her, so they softened toward her and didn’t make

things difficult for her.

In the end, Sophia even sighed. “You all must have waited here for a long time. You should just

disperse since I’ve already told you everything I know. Even if you continue waiting here, the people

inside won’t give you any answers. Thus, don’t make life difficult for yourselves. Go find a place to take

a drink and rest for a while. I’m sure it hasn’t been easy for any of you.”

Everyone chuckled. Indeed, it hasn’t been easy. We’ve been here for the entire afternoon, yet we didn’t

get anything. That was what most of them thought.

Sophia waved a hand. “The sun is right overhead now, so you shouldn’t continue waiting here. If you

truly need to show your bosses something, come back when it’s cool in the afternoon. Go back, go

back.” Since they’d gotten answers from her for most of the questions they wanted to ask, they didn’t

persist but left one after another.

Sophia stretched as she stood there. Then, she strutted into Constance Company. The security guard

and receptionist were standing at the lobby entrance on the ground floor, and upon seeing her, they

both greeted, “Mrs. Constance, you’re here.”

Sophia murmured an acknowledgment. “I’m going up to look for John.” She was unruffled, seemingly

not at all perturbed. These employees didn’t know what transpired during John’s business trip, so they

did wonder about the truth to those rumors on the Internet. Now that they saw Sophia’s indifferent

attitude, all of them breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, they seem to be just baseless rumors.

Sophia then took the elevator up. The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Zack, who was

so wracked with nerves that he stood guard at the elevator doors, and his eyes instantly bulged at the

sight of her. “What did you say to the media?”

Snorting, Sophia walked toward John’s office. “I’ve said everything I ought to say. You’ll know when you

see the news reports on the Internet later. Don’t expect me to repeat it to you because I’ll die of

exhaustion if I do so.”

William was still in John’s office, and Sophia frowned slightly when she spotted him upon entering the

room after pushing open the door. Hesitating, she didn’t know how she should address him, for she

couldn’t quite bring herself to address him as she did in the past now that they were not family. She

pursed her lips for a long time before finally greeting, “Mr. Constance.”

Probably not accustomed to this address as well, William paused for a moment before asking, “What

did you say to the media?”

When it was him now, Sophia couldn’t be as perfunctory as she was with Zack. Thus, she simply

answered, “I just explained the events that transpired during John’s business trip. I didn’t say much.”

William nodded, seemingly relieved. On the other hand, John sat at his desk and gazed at her placidly.
