Female Novel
Chapter 481
Matilda pursed her lips and stared at Sophia with a reluctant expression, but her tone was friendlercompared to before. “Why are you here?”
Sophia totally ignored Matilda, but the latter dared not provoke Sophia nowadays because Sophia helda weapon—the knowledge of her divorce. Then, Isabelle glanced at Sophia before turning to look atMatilda, who was acting quite differently than before, to Isabelle’s surprise.
Ignoring the two, Sophia simply picked her groceries at the section and left with her cart. When Sophiavanished from Matilda’s sight, Matilda spat, “Who does she think she is? Just another cheap woman.She thinks too highly of herself.”
Isabelle smiled gently. “It’s okay. Let’s not get angry at people like her. It’s not worth it.”
Now, Matilda had the guts to talk bad about Sophia at her back. “I can’t be bothered to argue withpeople like her. Do you know that she’s a crazy and uncouth woman who doesn’t care about decencywhen she argues? Saying one more word in front of her only makes me feel that I’m descending to herlevel.”
“Yeah yeah.” Isabelle smiled and went along with her. “Now that John has divorced her, the ConstanceFamily will have no connection whatsoever with her! Let’s not get angry. We will completely cut her offfrom our lives.”
Matilda took Isabelle’s hand. “If not for John’s grandpa’s insistence back then, I would never haveallowed a woman like her to marry into our family. For this, I feel very guilty toward you.”
Isabelle pursed her lips into a forced smile. “Oh well, thankfully it’s all over now.”
Matilda drew a long sigh. “Yeah. In the future, you should get along well with John. We’ll never bringthis topic up anymore.”
Isabelle sank into conflicted thoughts and she stole a look at the direction where Sophia had left. Toher, the problem was the great difficulty to get closer to John, for he was not enthusiastic toward herand she felt difficult to make any other moves.
With her hands full of groceries, Sophia got home and instantly received a call from Logan. He waschuckling over the phone, telling her that trouble ensued at the Morgans again. With his continuousinterference and scheming, it was only normal for the Morgans to be putting out fires every day.
Logan couldn’t tell that Sophia was uninterested, so he rambled on. “Simon went out to have fun lastnight and went home a little drunk. On his way back, he asked the cab driver to stop for him to puke onthe street, but he ended up getting robbed out there!”
Simon was quite hot-tempered to start with. Coupled with the effect of alcohol, he was definitelyunwilling to surrender, so he immediately got into a brawl with the two hooligans on the street. The cabdriver was scared and didn’t get out of the car to help. Therefore, Simon managed to get himselfinjured and hospitalized after going up alone against the two men.
Sophia replied, “Oh. Those two hooligans were hired by you, weren’t they?”
“Yeah, that’s right.” Logan sounded proud of himself. “Only I could teach that insolent brat a lesson.”True. Logan had a worse reputation than Simon; only a bad guy like him could deal with anotherequally horrid jerk.
Logan, the troublemaker, laughed out loud. “I went to the hospital to check on him in the morning. Hisarm and leg were fractured, and Leah Zimmerman was howling and sobbing at his bedside.”
Sophia sighed at his immaturity. “Be careful. They must have lodged a police report.”
“Whatever.” Logan didn’t look like he cared. “I paid enough to shut the two guys up.”Then, Loganmentioned something else. “Oh, by the way, I ran into John’s mom this morning at the hospital. Iwanted to greet her at first, but when I thought of how she mistreated you, I straight up ignored her.”
Actually, Matilda didn’t like Logan as well, a fact that he was well aware of. Therefore, he didn’t want toreceive the cold shoulder from her.
Finally showing some interest, Sophia raised a brow. “Oh? Why did you run into her at the hospital ofall places?” novelbin
Logan smacked his lips and replied, “Not sure. I saw her meeting up with a doctor for updates, but I feltthat she was acting very suspiciously. She had sunglasses on and was tiptoeing around furtively as ifshe was scared of getting found out.”
