Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 330

Sophia nodded. “I see. Now I’ve got the rough idea of their stance.”

The Baileys must have known that playing along with John’s plan might not be a very effective way to salvage Isabelle’s reputation.

In fact, the public didn’t give a damn about the truth because they were more inclined to believe their own assumptions and they had a strong appetite for dramatic events.

Sophia didn’t feel like continuing their conversation because talking wasn’t going to get the business done.

She rose to her feet and declared, “Actually, John, I’ve been thinking of announcing our divorce to the public too. The decision hasn’t got anything to do with other matters because I really don’t think it’s right for us to continue pretending that we’re still married. The earlier we face the music, the earlier we might be able to settle the problem.”

Sitting on the sofa, John didn’t respond to her.

Sophia stared at him for a while before heading upstairs.

When she reached her room, she locked the door and lay down on the bed where she placed her palm over her chest. She was actually glad that she had become so tough because she didn’t feel any pain inside her.

John went out again later that night.

She heard the sound of the car engine when his car was moving out of the courtyard but she decided to pay no regard to it. Instead, she got out of bed and went to the study.

She had plenty to do because her exam was just around the corner.

She remained in the study until midnight but John was still not home by then. She went on to check the time on her phone before giving a call to Logan.

He was at home and Sophia could hear a woman’s voice in the background when the call was put through.

Sophia chuckled, “Are you free to talk now?”

Logan was always free when it came to Sophia.

He first grunted in acknowledgement and said, “I’m free to talk.”

Sophia first held her head up before she spoke, “In fact, that picture you guys chanced upon was genuine because John and I already divorced each other a long time ago. Because of some issues, I had an agreement with him to keep it as a secret, but it somehow turned into this mess.”

Logan wasn’t surprised to hear that at all as he responded, “In fact, I’ve pretty much figured it out on my own.”

Sophia chortled, “I thought so too.”

Logan went on to ask her, “So, what’s your next move?”

For the time being, Sophia planned to just wait for John to discuss with his family how they should make the public announcement about their divorce.

In fact, there was no such thing as an ideal solution to this matter.

No matter how they went about it in the end, the public would still respond to the divorce similarly.

After some contemplation, Sophia answered him, “I suppose John and his family will know what to do. Anyway, I’m not too worried because I’m not going to be affected too severely by this matter.”

John and Isabelle would bear the brunt of it.

Regardless of how the matter would develop later on, Sophia would still be deemed the victim in the story.

That thought put a smile on her face because she thought she was lucky to have her image elevated for free this time.

As Logan was busy, she ended the call with him without going into the details of the matter and then went to bed.

John was not home for the entire night.

When she woke up the next morning, news about her was all over the internet.

She had deliberately switched off her phone the previous night so that she could sleep peacefully but as soon as she switched it on, it started vibrating non-stop as messages and missed calls started flooding her phone.

Much frightened, she frowned at her constantly buzzing phone in her hand.

In fact, those missed calls were mostly from her close friends.

She was sure Logan didn’t have anything better to do as he had actually given her around thirty missed calls.

At the same time, she couldn’t help but picture what he looked like when he was repeatedly calling her number.

What a fool he was.

When her phone finally stopped buzzing, she decided to check her messages first.

Most of them came from Logan and the rest of them were sent by Ian.

Their messages conveyed the same thing. As the news about John and her had gone viral on the internet, they wanted her to stay calm and to not be bothered by it because most people were on her side and she wouldn’t get too badly affected by it.
