Female Novel
Chapter 520
Had the Constances not called the Flintstones for help, John guessed that Matilda would be even moreof a trouble. After taking in some mouthfuls of food, John placed his fork down and leaned into the chairto stare at Sophia and Robin, who were enjoying lunch. Noticing that he stopped eating, Robin lookedat him. “You’re not eating?”
He couldn’t help but sigh. “I don’t have the appetite.”
The girls knew the reason behind his lack of appetite. When the internet exploded from the news, thenetizens brought up John’s divorce and went over it again. The Constances had a good reputation inthe past, but as a result of William and John, their family name was tainted.
Sophia got a little mad when she recalled Matilda’s expression from the video yesterday. Indeed, awoman like her would cause a lot of damage if she were to throw a fit. Taking a few bites, she placedher fork down as well. “Your grandmother must be super angry right now.”
John chuckled at the comment. Of course, she’s indeed furious. Yesterday, when he entered the mainbuilding, he found her pounding on her chest, saying that she felt stuffy. Beside her sat William with asullen expression.
It was rare to see that expression on William. In the past, Matilda had created lots of trouble and threwmany tantrums, to which William showed no response. He always preferred to muddle through thetrouble, appeasing both the Constance Family and his wife. He had never clearly expressed hisirritation at Matilda like how he did yesterday.
A while later, John stared at Robin. “I’ve sent someone to investigate your issue.”
Robin hurriedly looked at him, after which he elaborated in a robotic tone, “My men investigated withinyou and Sophia’s social circles but found nothing suspicious. I talked to the police as well, and theysuspected that they’d got the wrong guy. However, I could not ascertain if the man specifically targetedone of you. It’s possible that you were targeted because of someone you didn’t even know. Do youremember who went to the washroom with you that night? Did someone wear a similar outfit as you?” novelbin
Sophia was surprised at the conclusion. Didn’t the man target her? A few days had passed since theincident, and Robin could not recall who she met at the washroom.
That night, she had some drinks and was in an elated mood, so her brain was tripping. When sheentered the washroom, she didn’t even bother to register the women around her. I mean, I was enteringthe restroom, so what was there to look at? Therefore, Robin shook her head. “I can’t rememberanything.”
Hearing the same reply, John sighed. “It’s alright. We’ll take this slow. From what we observe now, bothof you don’t seem to have any security threats around you.”
Robin pursed her lips and combed through her memories. “I don’t have any enemies; the same goesfor Sophia. Perhaps, someone mistook me for another woman.”
John didn’t say anything after that, but he still looked tense. When Robin was done with lunch, hestretched and said, “You guys should get back to work. I’ll leave now.”
He sounded very straightforward. Without looking at anyone, he stood up, brushed his shirt, and left.Sophia remained seated and watched as he left in a cab. A while later, she let out a stuffy sigh.
Indeed, the commotion online about William’s divorce dragged on for some time, and she stoppedpaying attention to it soon. When she checked the comments, it wasn’t even much of a deal.
A few days later, the Blackwells called Sophia and informed her about the dinner taking place on thenext day and that they’d pick her up. She agreed to it, and since the dinner was around evening, shedecided to close the store earlier, which she brought up to Robin beforehand. Smiling, Robin asked,“Are you going on a date?
“What date? It’s just a dinner with ulterior motives.” Sophia was not interested at all. Robin sat acrossher and said, “I thought you were meeting with Mr. Constance.”
Faced with her business partner’s question, Sophia grinned. “I’m not even friends with them. We won’tmeet up without a good reason.”
