Chapter 321
We’ll be able to hit two birds with one stone, she concluded silently. Spinning her head, she peered at
the bedside table which had its lower drawer slightly open. With just a look, she could tell immediately
what was inside. Opening the drawer slowly, she revealed the divorce certificate and agreement in it.
Her eyes scanned over it and she knew what she should do next.
A little irritated, John went over to the window and lit up a cigarette. “I’ll take care of this matter, but the
direction of the news online is unclear now, so I need to wait a little more.”
Striding over to him, William said, “I’ve instructed people to find out if there’s anyone behind this. If this
was nned…”
Watching the both of them closely, Mrs. Constance reached out and took the papers out of the drawer.
In a swift move, she quickly stuffed them into her handbag and stood up. Pretending to look around,
she then walked to the bathroom entrance. “Oh, so this is the bathroom,” she said and went in.
Both the men didn’t think much of it. John offered William a cigarette as they both stood by the window
and discussed this incident on the Inte. As the news hade out all of a sudden, it was hard to
tell which media was the first to report it and that made the investigation a little tricky.
While they were deep in discussion, Mrs. Constance came out and walked around the room before
returning to the bed and slipping the papers back into the drawer. Then, she pushed the drawer closed
and smirked, feeling relieved in her heart. It didn’t matter to her what the men were discussing now, soN?velDrama.Org content.
she went out to the top of the staircase on the second floor, where she could see Sophia watering the
flowers in the yard. Sneering silently, she thought, Good for her, looking as though nothing happened.
Well, since this incident is obviously unfavorable for John, of course she’s happy about it.
In the yard, Sophia stretched her arms and legs after watering the nts. As she stared at the car John
drove back, she began toment on what a different life the rich were living. The ident was in the
afternoon and the new car already arrived before evening. People really shouldn’tpare themselves
to others, shemented.
Just then, she heard noises and saw that Mrs. Constance hade downstairs. Initially, she wanted to
ignore her, but something suddenly popped into her mind. This house now belonged to Sophia. No
matter if John would give it to her after the divorce, it was still hers for now.
Unable to stand watching Mrs. Constance acting all arrogant on her turf, she turned around and went
into the living room. Mrs. Constance had already settled onto the couch and turned on the TV with the
remote control. The way she made herselffortable looked as though she had regarded herself as
the mistress of the house.
Upon seeing Sophia, Mrs. Constance spoke to her nonchntly, “My son’s house must befortable
to live in, isn’t it?”
With a smirk, Sophia shot back, “The couch in my house isfortable, isn’t it?”
Mrs. Constance paused, an unpleasant look on her face. Frowning, she scoffed, “You should know how
you got this house. If It wasn’t for John’s generosity, you would have nothing at all.”
Striding over and taking a seat on the arm of the couch, Sophia countered, “If it wasn’t for me ying
along, John’s reputation would be down the drain.”
When it came to a verbal fight, Mrs. Constance was no match for Sophia and she knew fairly well that
she had suffered several times in Sophia’s hands before this. Gritting her teeth, Mrs. Constance stood
up andshed out, “Sophia, don’t be too smug. As this matter has cropped up, we’ll announce publicly
that you have nothing to do with our family anymore. From now on, you should stop using our family
name to make yourself look good.”
Laughing out, Sophia talked back to her, “I’d like to see just how you all will settle this matter, and you
better note to me begging for help again.”
