Chapter 43


    After Old Mr. Constance passed away, Old Mrs. Constance’s health rapidly declined. Therefore, she


    had been practicing vegetarianism, meditation, and Buddhism at the Constance Residence during this


    period.


    First, John asked after Old Mrs. Constance. Then, he went into the main topic. “Grandma, I have


    something I would like to discuss with you.”


    Old Mrs. Constance replied, “Go on. What is it that’s making you so serious?”


    Thest time he had been so formal and serious, he had informed the family that he was going to


    divorce Sophia. Even now, she could clearly recall the determination in his expression and his gaze at


    the time.


    To be honest, she disapproved of John and Sophia’s divorce. Just like how she had not approved of


    John’s marriage to Sophia. In her opinion, marriage was not a game.


    Moreover, she did not believe in the concept of using an auspicious event to flush away the ‘bad luck’


    of a critically-ill patient and curing them in the process.

    In the beginning, when Old Mr. Constance first brought up the idea of breaking off the marriage


    agreement with the Baileys and marrying Sophia instead, she had been the first to oppose the idea.


    However, Johnter gave in to his grandfather’s wishes after much consideration.


    In the end, Old Mr. Constance passed away anyway.


    After that, John announced that he was going to divorce Sophia. As usual, she was the first to oppose


    it.


    As part of the older generation, her attitude toward marriage was much more sincere. She believed that


    one should harden their resolve to be partners for life after having decided on marriage in the first


    ce.


    Later, everybody in the Constance Family agreed to the divorce, except her. Coupled with John’s


    determined attitude, she said nothing more. At the end of the day, it was her grandson’s personal


    affairs. It wasn’t good for her to interfere too much in them.


    John was silent on the phone for a moment before saying, “I encountered some issues here, and my


    marriage with Sophia might affect the oue. So, I’m hoping that the family will not spread the news


    of my divorce with Sophia.”


    Old Mrs. Constance was taken aback. “What’s wrong? What happened?”


    Unfortunately, this matter wasn’t something that could be exined in brief.


    Thus, John breathed out heavily. “Once I return, I will exin it to you in full. Right now, can you help


    me suppress this information?”


    She understood what he meant by suppressing the news.


    On the second day after John’s divorce, Mrs. Constance wanted to announce it to the world and


    immediately arrange for his marriage with the youngdy of the Bailey Family. Hence, if he wanted to


    suppress the information about his divorce with Sophia, the first person they had to deal with was Mrs.


    Constance.


    Old Mrs. Constance sighed. “I might not know what problems you ran into, but I will talk to your mother


    and make her see reason. Don’t worry about that.” Then, she added, “To be honest, there is no need


    for you and Sophia to go this far.”


    He said nothing in reply.


    She had already said whatever she could say to persuade him. Thus, she left it at that after saying that


    one sentence. “Alright; don’t worry about the matters at home. I will help you settle them. Your mother


    might give little regard to the opinions of others, but she will still listen to what I have to say.”


    After that, he thanked her and ended the call.


    John sat in the study for a long time in a daze before Zack finally returned. However, Sophia did not


    come along.


    ording to Zack, she was feeling unwell. So, she returned to take some medicine.


    Zack was still extremely disgruntled. “Isn’t the Infinity Group acting far too shamelessly? I knew the


    incident this time around would be rted to President McCaw. No matter how little his employees


    cared for authority, they wouldn’t go so far as to drug you.”


    During the party that night, he had the feeling that something was amiss. President McCaw had


    continuously clung to him and tried to get him drunk. In the end, he only managed to escape by


    excusing himself to the restroom.


    Sitting opposite John, Zack said, “If their n the other day had seeded, I’m certain the terms of our


    cooperation would be vastly different by now.”


    If John had slept with that female employee the other day, there was no saying whether they could get


    rid of her in the future. Furthermore, they would have been led by the nose throughout the entire


    process of the cooperation this time.


    John had not expected it either. The other party was such argepany; it was unbelievable that


    they would stoop to such underhanded methods at a time like time.


    Although he had experienced all sorts of dirty tricks while in the business, it was the first time the other


    party began ying dirty from the beginning and without any warning whatsoever. Therefore, he had


    been caught off guard.
