After waiting for a while, Sophia asked in a subdued voice with much reluctance, “I know what’s going on even if

you didn’t tell me anything. Do you think you could hide the truth from me?”

John responded to her with a smile. “Let’s sit down over there.” Then, he made a gesture to loop his hand around

her shoulder. Despite its innocuous nature, people could read into it from multiple perspectives because of John and

Sophia’s relationship.

There were a lot of journalists present during Kate’s birthday party, as she used to be a famous actress when she

was young, but she had quit acting after that to focus on her family. Therefore, she intended to revisit her younger

years during her eightieth birthday, which was why a few media agencies were invited to the occasion, who without

a doubt had captured John and Sophia’s interaction on camera.

The both of them walked over before sitting down beside Logan and Isabelle on the sofa. There was space between

Logan and Isabelle, so Sophia sat down beside Logan, while John sat between her and Isabelle.

It was in fact Isabelle’s intention to have the press witness the scene of the three of them sitting together. Her

reputation was at risk after what happened, so she hired a group of ghostwriters to clear things up for her, but her

plan seemed to have backfired on her, as the negative comments about her only grew compared to the

ghostwriter’s comments. The only way to go about it was to make use of the news to clear her name. The sight of

the three of them sitting together in harmony would definitely clear things up in Isabelle’s favor.

After scanning her surroundings, Sophia asked, “What’s coming up next? Are we going to sit here till nightfall?” If

that was the case, she would rather go home.

It was John who answered her question while leaning closer toward Sophia. “The banquet will be starting soon,

followed by a lottery session. I heard that the prizes are lavish.”

Logan joined in on the conversation. “Even if the prizes are lavish, what the Blackwells are doing is essentially

handing out their money.”

John didn’t know what the prizes would be either. “I heard nothing of it, as they hid it well. Not even my

grandmother knew about it when I asked her.”

Logan smacked his lips before commenting, “The Blackwells sure know how to have fun by keeping the presents a

secret.”

John merely smiled in silence upon listening to what Logan said. In the meantime, Isabelle sat on the other side of

the sofa, seemingly being isolated from the three of them while they spoke among themselves. However, she was

good at suppressing herself, so her expression betrayed no emotions.

On the other hand, Logan began telling them about the gossip he heard of. According to rumors, Kate Blackwell

used to be hailed by many as a famous actress when she was young, but the members of the prestigious Blackwell

Family looked down on her due to her profession, so she quit being an actress.

There were a lot of people who felt sorry that she had to quit, as they thought Kate would have attained a certain

level of fame if she were to keep on working as an actress. Upon listening to the story, Sophia heaved a sigh. “She

must love her husband a lot.” Sophia figured it must have been hard on Kate to quit her job for the sake of her

husband.

However, John had a different opinion on the matter. “That might not necessarily be the case. Her husband, Nathan

Blackwell, went on to marry a second wife who bore him a son.”

Sophia was startled by what John told her, but she quickly recalled that it was customary among wealthy families to

marry multiple women, which prompted her to backtrack on what she said. “So it seems that wealthy men are all

b*stards.”

Both Logan and John let out a cry of protest, to which Sophia responded with a glare before staring at Logan. “You

sure are one, seeing that Officer Hunt had carried out multiple police raids on your clubhouse.” She then turned to

look at John, who was staring at her closely. That seemed to have affected her confidence, as her voice became
