The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
Chapter 122

A moment later, Old Mrs. Constance turned around. "Come inside and explain."

"No," Sophia said in refusal. Nobody could make her do anything now. "The Constance Family is a noble one. Someone like me can't even hope to have any ties with you.

I'll call the reporters and tell them what happened between John and me. That will be the end of it. You guys are powerful, so you can settle this. I won't trouble myself anymore." She tried to leave. Old Mrs. Constance panicked too, so she turned around. "Hold it right there," she said sternly.

Sophia stood with her back against the old lady quietly. Then, Old Mrs. Constance looked at her before turning to Mrs. Constance. Suddenly, Mrs. Constance stopped crying. If Sophia even dared to talk that way to Old Mrs. Constance, that meant she was taking this seriously.

"What happened?" Old Mrs. Constance asked Matilda.

Matilda pursed her lips, unsure how to answer. She had told Old Mrs. Constance about Sophia and John having sex last night this morning. The old lady even called John to verify this, and John told her he forced himself onto Sophia last night, so it had nothing to do with her.

Old Mrs. Constance asked Matilda to keep a low profile about this, for it was normal for a couple to have sex, especially when they used to be married. She told Matilda to let them sort this out themselves, while they would not interfere.

Matilda agreed to it, but now she was scared to confess that she provoked Sophia when the situation had come to this. Now, Sophia looked impatient, and when Old Mrs. Constance saw Matilda looking evasive, she knew her daughter-in-law must have offended Sophia. "Did you say something you shouldn't again?" She looked at her with disappointment.

Mrs. Constance pursed her lips and looked everywhere else but at everyone. Closing her eyes, Old Mrs. Constance went up to Sophia. She had a long face, obviously angry as she went to hold her hand. "Sophia." Sophia tried to escape her grip, but to no avail, for Old Mrs. Constance was gripping her hand tightly. "Matilda is always clumsy with words, so let it slide."

Sophia sneered. "Well, I'm impulsive too, so if I do anything reckless, let it slide." She simply went along with Old Mrs. Constance's words.

Old Mrs. Constance had nothing to retort. She had never seen Sophia bristling this much, so she sighed. "Let's talk inside, Sophia."

Sophia pulled her hand back forcefully. "No, I don't think I will. I don't mind you and your family insulting me, but not my family. It's a sin I can't bear." She then went to the front gate and kept her phone on the way. The number she dialed earlier was a random one. She didn't know anyone who could call the media, so that was just a ruse to scare Matilda.

Old Mrs. Constance knew Sophia was livid now. They shouldn't stop her, or who knew what she would do. Thus, she took a deep breath and glared at Mrs. Constance.

Mrs. Constance retreated. "I didn't say anything. It was just a nag," she mumbled.

Old Mrs. Constance glowered. "You useless woman." She went inside the living room, and Mrs. Constance followed.

Sounding panicked, Matilda said, "Mom, do you think she'll tell everyone about her divorce with John?"

Old Mrs. Constance's face looked dark. "You think that's the end of it? She knows he's drugged on his business trip. What if she works with Infinity Group out of hate for us and accuses him of having sexual intercourse with the Infinity Group's employee? John would never recover from that."

Mrs. Constance didn't think about that, and she paled. "What should we do now?" she mumbled.

"Call John right away." Old Mrs. Constance sighed.

Mrs. Constance quickly took her phone out and called John.
