Zack immediately understood and told her to wait for a second. Then, Sophia heard the noises of a
chair scraping and footsteps. At last, the surroundings became extremely quiet. Zack finally said, “You
may speak now. No one is around.”
Sophia then asked, “Did you go to the scene of the accident today to pick John up?”
On the other side, Zack pursed his lips because he had guessed what Sophia wanted to ask.
Therefore, he answered bluntly, “Yes, I went to fetch him. Isabelle was there too and they were indeed
together. However, I can guarantee that nothing happened between them, Sophia. When they saw me,
they looked calm so I believe that they didn’t do anything untoward.”
Actually, Sophia wasn’t surprised that Isabelle and John were together. After all, she heard Isabelle’s
voice over the phone before that. However, she thought that John and Isabelle met at Constance
Residence or somewhere in the city. She didn’t expect them to go to the suburbs. What were they
doing there? Now, she began to feel curious as to where they went. Could it be that they truly slept
together?
After all, it was somewhat fishy that John and Isabelle rushed from the suburbs to the city this
afternoon, especially when John didn’t return home last night. If that was the case, it would truly be a
scandal. Besides, this incident happened when she was cooking up an explanation for the public for

why she and John were divorcing. Now, she felt that reality had handed her an explanation on a silver
platter.
Zack wasn’t sure of the ins and outs either so he didn’t know why John and Isabelle went to the
suburbs since it wasn’t on John’s itinerary. Right now, he was worried about how the company would
explain the situation between John and Isabelle to the public. Judging from the current situation, it
seemed that the public wouldn’t be convinced no matter what they said. Besides, they had obviously
been trapped.
It was impossible that the media coincidentally happened to follow them to the suburbs and managed
to take a photo the moment their car collided. No matter how they thought about it, it was highly
unlikely. Besides, there was currently a large troop of hired commenters, controlling the direction of the
discussion on the internet. Therefore, there must be something or someone behind this incident. That
meant any simple explanation wouldn’t work.
After a while, Sophia smiled. “Alright, I got it. I’ll let you get back to your work.”
As soon as she hung up the call, Logan propped his head beside her and asked, “How is it? What did
the assistant say? I don’t think there’s anything between John and Isabelle. After all, John obviously
doesn’t feel anything toward her.”
Sophia stood up, knowing that the poker session had come to an end. However, she still extended her
hand. “Come on. You guys should pay up.”
Logan then scoffed, “Tsk, only you would think about money at a time like this.”
Sophia glared at him. “Give me the money now. It’s no use trying to persuade me otherwise.” She only
collected money from Ian and Logan. As for the waiter, she didn’t take money from him because he
was just a fill-in. After pocketing the money, Sophia stood up. “I have urgent family matters to attend to
so I’ll go home now. Let’s have a game again when we’re free.”
She looked like she didn’t mind about what the internet said at all so Logan was a little relieved. He felt
that this incident was just some fun made by the media and it wouldn’t cause any significant effect.
Meanwhile, Sophia hailed a taxi and returned home but John wasn’t home yet. Walking around the
house, she felt that there were no changes in the living room and she couldn’t decide if John had been
back or not. She then went upstairs, returning to her room.
After that, she took out her phone and without needing to search, John’s news popped up. Among the
local gossip, eight of the first ten articles were about John.
