Chapter 357


    A prideful man such as John will naturally find it chafing, so he’s probably feeling resentful. Hence, he’ll


    be a touch reluctant to let me go. For that reason, it’s normal that he’s pestering me now.


    Sophia then put down her cell phone and applied some skincare products. When she was just about to


    answered the call. Before she could say anything, John blurted, “Sorry, wrong number.”


    Such a dumb excuse and lousy acting skills had her almost bursting intoughter. Mild exasperation


    flooded her. “Since it’s a wrong number, I’m hanging up.”


    On the other end, John hurriedly interjected, “Wait a moment!”


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    “What is it?”


    John pursed his lips for a long while before asking, “What were you doing just now?”


    All at once, Sophia was perplexed as to what he meant. “I was taking a shower. Why?”


    Pausing for two seconds, John then answered, “Nothing. I’m hanging up, then.” Thereafter, he hung up


    on her.


    Holding the phone in her hand, Sophia blinked for a long time. What was the meaning of that? And


    what’s happening here? What was that insensitive John smoking? After a few seconds, she then put


    down her cell phone, turned off the lights, andy down. However, she just couldn’t sleep since she’d


    slept too much during the day. As she turned and tossed, she grew all the more energetic instead.


    In the end, she gave up and fumbled for her phone. She went online to browse through gossip, only to


    see the statement issued by the Bailey Family. This statement feels as though they’re avoiding the


    heart of the matter and dwelling on the trivial instead, having no substance to it.


    Next, she nced through thements below. Most condemned Isabelle, and while there were some


    controversialments iming that it was true love between Isabelle and John, those were severely


    attacked by others.


    Well, the Baileys aren’t quite bright, are they? If they didn’t want to say that Isabelle and John are


    friends, they could’ve actually stayed silent. Now that they stepped forward and gave such a vague


    statement, it’s easy to invite misunderstanding.


    Furthermore, there’s nothing else from them save this sole statement, and they even announced that


    they won’t exin this matter anymore. In reality, their exnation this time is pointless. Sophia then


    browsed for a while, but there was nothing new; they were all news reports that were going with the


    tide.


    Earlier, Lorraine sent Logan a message detailing what Sophia should say if she wanted to issue a


    statement. She didn’t provide a temte, merely pointing out the aspects Sophia should emphasize if


    she wanted to help John out.


    After pondering for a while, Sophia startedposing her piece, mainly exining the issues between


    her and John. Referring to the statement issued by the Constance Family, she then improvised. She


    made no mention of Isabelle at all, merely speaking of the reasons her marriage with John copsed,


    among which she gave voice to the fact that they were of different worlds to begin with, so while she


    was very happy during their marriage in the past year, perhaps pain dominated.


    She couldn’t integrate into the lives of the Constance Family, and she wanted greater freedom, so the


    divorce was a decision that was made after a lengthy discussion with John whereupon they both felt


    that it was best for each other. When she wrote this, she recalled the scene back when she signed the


    divorce agreement. Mild sorrow assailed her, but it was faint.


    After checking several times and ascertaining that there weren’t any typos or awkwardness, she then


    issued the statement. This was her first time doing such a thing, and she felt a tad anxious after doing


    so. I wonder if anyone would notice it. She inhaled deeply. Sitting on the bed, she turned and gazed out


    the window, spacing out slightly.


    Meanwhile, John was awakened in the morning by Zack’s call. The first thing he did was to nce at


    the time, only to notice that it was still very early. Having only fallen asleep in the wee hoursst night,


    his mind was muddled right now, so he was rather disgruntled when he answered the call. “What is it?”
