John observed Isabelle before replying, “My mother went back to her mother’s place as there are things she needs
to tend to, so my mother isn’t currently staying at the Constance Residence.”
What John said startled Isabelle, but she quickly responded with a light ‘oh’. “I see, so that’s what’s going on… She
invited me to pay her a visit at your place a few days ago, but she didn’t seem keen about it anymore, so I assumed
she was feeling unwell, which worried me.”
Sophia rolled her eyes while she thought, So Matilda’s at her mother’s place… Judging from what she already knew
of the situation, as well as her question toward John that went unanswered, the truth was evident to Sophia, which
amused her. To her, the fact that Matilda finally received her karma was worth a celebration.
There was a gloating look on Sophia’s face when John looked her way, so he chided her softly, “Why are you
laughing? Focus on eating your food.”
“Well, I’m happy. Why can’t I be happy about things?” Sophia lifted her chin in defiance. By lifting his hand, John
wiped something away from the corner of Sophia’s lips, which surprised her so much that she backed away in
reflex.

“There’s something at the corner of your lips, so why are you backing away?” John seemed unfazed by her

Sophia wasn’t planning on spending any more energy to play his games.
Meanwhile, Logan asked from beside her, “I wonder what Ian is doing in the clubhouse. Has he eaten though?”
After some thought, Sophia suggested, “Why don’t I ask him?” She then took out her phone, which John glanced at
from the corner of his eyes before resuming to look at the screen of his own phone that was displaying a message
from Zack about stuff from work.
In the meantime, Sophia sent Ian a message, which he replied quickly using a voice message that Sophia played
out loud. He told her that he had his breakfast quite late in the morning, then he went to play games in Logan’s
room.
He also told her he was feeling bored, so Sophia gave him a video call after some thought, which he picked up
immediately with a smile. “Are you eating?”
Sophia gave him a nod. “Yeah.” Then, she switched her camera view to show Logan’s face, while the latter let out a
chuckle. At that moment, John spoke up from the side. “You should eat and talk later.”
Although his voice wasn’t loud, it was audible enough to make Ian’s smile freeze on his face before asking, “Is John
with you?”

To that, Sophia grunted. “Yeah, he came to the banquet too.”
Ian went on asking, “Did you bring a companion with you, Mr. Constance?” The invitation stated that guests were
allowed to bring along a companion to add to the fun, as there would be a prom session that would allow the
couples to dance with each other.
“Nope.” John made a curt reply to Ian’s question.
Ian chuckled before saying, “It’s a shame. This would have been a great opportunity though.”
However, all John did was smirk in silence. Ian proceeded to ask Sophia if anything interesting happened, but there
were in fact none. It was so boring that Sophia wanted to go home.
The call ended after some more chatter, during which the guests were almost finished with their meals. John was
still texting Zack when Logan scanned his surroundings. “Why are there so many guests but no table for games?
Does the host expect us all to just chat? We need some other form of entertainment.”
Sophia felt helpless when she heard Logan’s words, while John let out a chuckle. “Kate is the matriarch of the
Blackwell Family, and this is for her birthday celebration, so why would she set up a table for games?”
Kate was a woman of style, so she would never allow such a thing to happen during her own birthday celebration.
Otherwise, the news agencies wouldn’t be focused on reporting about her birthday celebration. John suggested
after some thought, “There’s a tea room in the backyard, so why don’t we go have a seat over there?”
