Chapter 155


    John, who was up in the building, actually knew about Sophia being surrounded by the media long ago.


    After all, it was such a hugemotion right at thepany’s front doors. It would be absurd had he


    not noticed it.


    Zack was extremely worried, wanting to rush down to protect Sophia right away.


    However, John appeared unconcerned. “You’ll only add to the chaos if you go down. Sophia isn’t the


    idiot you think she is. Since she darede here, she must be prepared.” He recalled how she’d riled


    Mrs. Constance up that day to the point that she almost passed out from anger several times.


    Even Mom who’s such an overbearing person lost at Sophia’s hand. While the media is slick, they


    might not necessarily be her match either. After all, she’s no longer the person she was in the past.


    John waited in his office for a long time, but Sophia never came. Instead, William came. “Sophia is


    surrounded by the media downstairs. How are the two of you doing these days? Will she say anything


    inappropriate?” William anxiously asked as soon as he entered.


    John understood his meaning. It was only a few days earlier that Sophia had a row with Mrs.


    Constance, so it was very likely that she hadn’t yet cooled off. If she were to go along with Infinity


    Group’s usations at this critical juncture, it wouldn’t look good for the Constance Family.


    Standing by the window, he gazed out, but he was too high up to see the situation below clearly. After a


    few seconds, he replied, “She won’t.” If William hadn’t mentioned that, he wouldn’t even have thought


    of it. However, he believed that Sophia wouldn’t do that. There was no basis, but he just trusted her.


    On the other hand, Sophia wasn’t at all bothered by the fact that no one from Constance Company


    came out to help her. She jabbered and talked about everything under the sun. The media had


    probably never seen someone as cooperative as her, so they softened toward her and didn’t make


    things difficult for her.


    In the end, Sophia even sighed. “You all must have waited here for a long time. You should just


    disperse since I’ve already told you everything I know. Even if you continue waiting here, the people


    inside won’t give you any answers. Thus, don’t make life difficult for yourselves. Go find a ce to take


    a drink and rest for a while. I’m sure it hasn’t been easy for any of you.”


    Everyone chuckled. Indeed, it hasn’t been easy. We’ve been here for the entire afternoon, yet we didn’t


    get anything. That was what most of them thought.


    Sophia waved a hand. “The sun is right overhead now, so you shouldn’t continue waiting here. If you


    truly need to show your bosses something,e back when it’s cool in the afternoon. Go back, go


    back.” Since they’d gotten answers from her for most of the questions they wanted to ask, they didn’t


    persist but left one after another.


    Sophia stretched as she stood there. Then, she strutted into Constance Company. The security guard


    and receptionist were standing at the lobby entrance on the ground floor, and upon seeing her, they


    both greeted, “Mrs. Constance, you’re here.”


    Sophia murmured an acknowledgment. “I’m going up to look for John.” She was unruffled, seemingly


    not at all perturbed. These employees didn’t know what transpired during John’s business trip, so they


    did wonder about the truth to those rumors on the Inte. Now that they saw Sophia’s indifferent


    attitude, all of them breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, they seem to be just baseless rumors.


    Sophia then took the elevator up. The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Zack, who was


    so wracked with nerves that he stood guard at the elevator doors, and his eyes instantly bulged at the


    sight of her. “What did you say to the media?”


    Snorting, Sophia walked toward John’s office. “I’ve said everything I ought to say. You’ll know when you


    see the news reports on the Inteter. Don’t expect me to repeat it to you because I’ll die of


    exhaustion if I do so.”


    William was still in John’s office, and Sophia frowned slightly when she spotted him upon entering the


    room after pushing open the door. Hesitating, she didn’t know how she should address him, for she


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    couldn’t quite bring herself to address him as she did in the past now that they were not family. She


    pursed her lips for a long time before finally greeting, “Mr. Constance.”


    Probably not ustomed to this address as well, William paused for a moment before asking, “What


    did you say to the media?”


    When it was him now, Sophia couldn’t be as perfunctory as she was with Zack. Thus, she simply


    answered, “I just exined the events that transpired during John’s business trip. I didn’t say much.”


    William nodded, seemingly relieved. On the other hand, John sat at his desk and gazed at her cidly.
