Surprisingly, John didn’t struggle but stood up with the momentum of Sophia’s push. However, he then raised his

hand and grabbed her wrist. His tone seemingly teasing, he asked, “Who do you want to see if not me? Ian? Or

Dylan?”

Sophia was taken aback. “John Constance, go and check yourself into the psychiatric hospital if you’ve gone insane!

Why did you come here?”

Chuckling, John lifted a hand and grasped her chin. Sophia, however, twisted her head and shook off his hand right

away. “I’m warning you, Sophia Gwendolyn, that no other man is allowed. Behave yourself. I’ll be gone on a

business trip for the next few days, but I’ve already arranged for someone to tail you. If you dare betray me in any

way, I’ll kill you when I return,” John threatened.

Sophia shot daggers at him. “You should hurry home and take your medicine. You’re severely ill, so it might be

incurable if you tarry.”

John yanked her into his embrace. “Sophia Gwendolyn, you tormenting little temptress, let me tell you that I’m

perfectly serious. If you dare get together with another man, I’ll really kill you.” He’d mulled this over for a long

time today, ruminating on Dylan’s remarks earlier. She’s temperamental, so all the aggressiveness in the world

won’t work if I don’t get ruthless with her.

“Scram!” Putting all her might into it, Sophia shoved him out.

John chortled. “Remember what I said, Sophia.” After saying that, he straightened his clothes and brushed past her.

He truly left just like that. Standing there, Sophia gritted her teeth in fury. After a while, she swiftly locked the door

and windows. I just can’t figure out how he got in this time. She even went over and checked the door lock, but

John’s fingerprint wasn’t in the system. She clenched her jaw, having no target to vent her anger.

Meanwhile, John only reached his car after walking for a while upon leaving. He was now shrewd enough to park a

distance away so that Sophia wouldn’t notice his presence. After getting into the car, he looked over at her house,

his lips curving into a smile. He honked twice although he didn’t know whether she’d hear it. Then, he turned the

steering wheel and drove away.

While driving, a call came from Matilda who said that she was outside and wanted to see him. Thinking that he was

going on a business trip with William soon, he went over after asking her for the location. Instead of waiting in the

shop, she stood by the roadside. At the sight of John, she opened the car door and slipped in. John glanced at her.

“Have you eaten?”

“Yeah. I just met up with Belle just now.” Matilda pulled the seatbelt over and fastened it. Upon hearing Isabelle’s

name, John instantly went mum. At this, Matilda sighed. “Your scandal is an awful mess now, but I can tell that Belle

is saddened as well.”

When Isabelle met her earlier, she mentioned the rumors on the Internet and even cried. They hadn’t seen each

other for a while now, so Matilda was actually in a good mood when they met this time, but at the mention of the

scandal, her mood took a nosedive.

Since John wasn’t saying anything, Matilda continued, “Belle is a nice girl. She even wondered whether you’ll be

affected by the news. She’s quite worried about you.”

John grunted. “I’m not affected at all. It’s the truth, after all.”

In Matilda’s eyes, John was writing himself off, so she heaved a sigh. “Say, why must you live so abysmally?” I’m

sure it’s a piece of cake for him to find a decent girl considering his achievements now.

John didn’t respond, merely driving straight to her place. The two of them exchanged a few words throughout the

entire drive, every other word out of Matilda’s mouth revolving around Isabelle. In the beginning, John said nothing,

but later, he seemed to have lost his patience and demanded, “Was it Isabelle who asked you to say all this?”
