Chapter 154


    After eating, Sophia and Ian went for a drive until it was time for lunch break at noon. Sophia then


    asked Ian to drive her to the city center. When the car came to a stop, she unfastened her seat belt.


    “Your house isn’t far from here, so you should go home and rest. You must be tired now since you took


    an early morning flight. Let’s go out again when you’re free,” she suggested in an animated voice.


    Meanwhile, Ian had reverted to his usual calm expression. After staring at her for a while, he nodded.


    “Sure.” Swinging open the car door, Sophia alighted and waved at him through the window. Ian then


    drove away.


    Turning around, Sophia gazed at the office building a near distance away and sighed. That was


    Constance Company. She actually wanted to ask Ian to drop her off in front of Constance Company


    earlier, but the media surrounded the entrance. Thus, she couldn’t do so.


    It wasn’t that she was afraid of being photographed, but the thing was that Ian was there. If she were


    photographed sitting in another man’s car with just the two of them, there would probably be another


    intriguing rumor on top of John’s scandal.


    She then sauntered toward Constance Company leisurely. Just when she’d gotten close, someone


    recognized her and shouted, “That’s Sophia Gwendolyn, the Young Mistress of the Constance Family!”


    Upon hearing that, Sophia stopped short and stared at the reporters who’d appeared out of nowhere,


    running toward her in a mad dash. She quickly put a smile on her face and stood there waiting without


    hurrying away.


    There were too many people swarming Sophia, making her slightly unsteady on her feet. “Hear, hear,


    calm down. Please take your time, and if there’s anything you’d like to ask, please do so one by one.


    Don’t rush, okay? Safety is a priority,” she promptly eximed.


    Her calm and unruffled deportment had the paparazzi settling as well. After all, they were only frenzied


    because they were afraid that Sophia would run off. Since she was now looking all willing to ept


    their interviews, they were no longer frantic. Someone then thrust a microphone into her face. “Mrs.


    Constance, is the exposé on the Inte true? Did Mr. Constance truly betray you?”


    The corners of Sophia’s mouth lifted. “It’s true that he went on a business trip and had some wine


    during the party. However, only these two things are true.”


    The paparazzo then hurriedly asked, “Mrs. Constance, do you know of the female employee with the


    surname Cox mentioned in the exposé? We’ve investigated her, and she’s indeed an employee of


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Infinity Group. Besides, she was also in charge of entertaining Mr. Constance.”


    Sophia nodded. “I know her, and we’ve even eaten at the same table before.”


    Her answer stunned the paparazzo who’d asked the question. “You’ve seen that employee before, Mrs.


    Constance? When was that?”


    Sophia chuckled. “I actually apanied my husband on his business trip, and we met Miss Cox the


    very night we arrived at Tri Asel. If you’d all done your homework, you’d known that the hotel had a


    bonfire party that night, and I even received aplimentary custom-made dress from the hotel just to


    attend the bonfire party.”


    At this, the reporters looked at each other. They’d been focusing on John and Infinity Group from the


    very beginning itself, so it’d never crossed their minds that John actually brought Sophia along on his


    business trip.


    Blinking, a smile bloomed on Sophia’s face. “If you have the means, you can even check the flight


    records. I was on the same flight as my husband, and we had adjacent seats. Say, I was already there,


    so wouldn’t I have attended Infinity Group’s party?” After saying that, she chortled. “What other


    questions do you have? Since you’ve caught me, I’ll just rify everything.”


    A reporter at the side persisted, asking, “Are you now here for a public rtions stunt on behalf of your


    husband, Mrs. Constance? Why isn’t Mr. Constance exining this himself?”


    Pursing her lips, Sophia feigned an expression of contemtion. “Hmm, this is a good question.


    However, if your memory works, please think back to the past. When has my husband evere


    forward to exin things no matter what happened?”


    Indeed, John had almost never made an appearance before the media. Back then, when Old Mr.


    Constance passed away, there were conspiracy theorists who imed severe internal strife within


    Constance Company after Old Mr. Constance’s departure and even dered that John was the biggest


    beneficiary in the event of his death, controlling half the Constance Family with William, and so on. At


    that time, he acted as though he heard none of these rumors and ignored everything. All these years,


    this had been his style—never exining himself or making an appearance.


    Sophia gazed at the reporters. “Naturally, everything I said would be an excuse in your eyes, so just go


    and check whether my words are true. Next! Who’s next? Is there any other question?” She was truly


    facing the media with aplomb, turning this into a fan meeting instead.
