Chapter 433
After sitting alone by the table for a while, rustling noises could be heard at the entrance of the tea
room. Sophia thought that John and the rest were back, so she looked toward there, only to see a
person peeking in through the entrance with a microphone in hand.
He seemed to be trying to check on the upants in the room, and he ended up being startled by the
sight of Sophia alone in therge tea room. After a pause, the man came in with two other men in tow.
One of them had a video recorder in hand, while the other was the conductor. They were obviously
journalists sent by the press.
As she was alone in the tea room, they were definitely after her, so Sophia adjusted her posture. The
man with a mic had a cheerful disposition about him while he approached her. “Greetings, Miss
Gwendolyn. This is such a coincidence.”
“Is that so?” asked Sophia while checking him out.
The man saw four cups on the table, so he asked, “Are you waiting for your friends?”
Sophia grunted. “Yes. I am waiting for them.”
The journalist seemed polite enough, as he didn’t sit down right away. Instead, he bowed down while
standing beside her with the mic close to her. “Miss Gwendolyn, I saw you were with Mr. John
Constance and Miss Isabelle Bailey not so long ago. May I know…”
Upon hearing his question, Sophia lifted her head to look his way. “What would you like to know?”
The journalist put on a smile before asking, “Pardon me. As I saw you together with Mr. John
Constance a while ago, so I’d very much like to know if you two are…”
Without needing him to finish his question, Sophia already knew what he was trying to ask, so she
smiled and replied, “We are friends. I came along with Mr. Logan Jefferson today, and it was out of
coincidence that we met John. However, being divorced from each other doesn’t mean we are on bad
terms. We parted ways amicably, so we’re still friends.”
The journalist let out an ‘ah’ to show that he had understood before smiling at her. “You sure are broad-
minded, Miss Gwendolyn.”
There seemed to be an addedyer of meaning in what he said, but Sophia brushed it off with a smile.
“Not really, as John didn’t do anything that warrants an apology, so I have nothing to forgive. You
might’ve gotten the wrong idea about this.”
Noises that indicated the return of John and the rest could be heard from the entrance as soon as she
said so, but rather than looking their way, Sophia opted to sip on her cup of tea. John was beside her in
a few strides, then he looked between her and the three men before throwing them a question, “Why
are you here?”
None of them seemed to be perturbed by John’s question, as the conductor smiled as soon as he saw
John. “Mr. Constance, please don’t be angry. We are merely doing an interview with Miss Gwendolyn
since she’s here.”
Isabelle stepped in at that moment to ask rather politely, “What would you like to know?” She then

turned to Sophia before any of the men could reply to her question. “Miss Gwendolyn, are you alright?”
With a smile, Sophia replied, “I’m alright. They just arrived, so they didn’t do anything to me. Yet.”
Isabelle was better at handling these situations than John, which was evident when she sat down
beside Sophia instead of confronting the journalists. She even held onto Sophia’s arm intimately before
looking toward the video recorder. “I do not know what you wish to say, but your reporting is affecting
our private lives. Miss Gwendolyn and I are not who you im us to be, as we are friends, while Mr.
Constance and I are currently business partners, so I hope you will report nothing but the truth.”
Meanwhile, Sophia was wearing a half smirk, whereas John heaved a sigh before ncing at Isabelle.
He knew she was doing the right thing, as not only would it resolve the crisis, it would also clear up the
rumors on the Inte. Thus, he chose to remain silent, but Logan seemed to disagree with what
Isabelle said, as he knew for a fact that Sophia disliked Isabelle.
