Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 347

Isabelle looked extremely weary and even a touch dispirited. The Baileys were waiting in the meeting room, so William and John hurried over. When Isabelle spotted John, she sprang to her feet at once. At the side, Old Mr. Bailey chided, “Belle.” Seemingly snapping back to her senses, she slowly sat back down with mild embarrassment. The moment John came in, he immediately found a seat and sat down without even sparing her a single glance.

On the other hand, the police questioned Sophia for a bit before the entire matter was dropped. It wasn’t her who made the police report, so she merely said she wasn’t quite sure what had happened, and the two police officers didn’t ask further. When they’d left, she sat on the sofa for a long time before she remembered something. I’d better revoke John’s access to this place. Putting aside what Matilda thinks, I myself don’t want to have anything to do with the Constance Family anymore in the future.

After cleaning the mess in the living room from the altercation earlier, she then went upstairs and sprawled on the bed. Rolling about, she then took out her cell phone and looked at the news reports on the Internet. Truthfully speaking, she did contemplate speaking up on behalf of John. The sooner this matter blows over, the sooner my life can get back on track. If this matter hangs in the balance, it’ll affect me as well.

But Matilda is truly impudent! How dare she come and order me around? Did she think the title of the most senior Mrs. Constance is a free pass that is effective everywhere? Pah! After this confrontation, I’m more inclined to bad-mouth John on the Internet. Sophia inhaled deeply. However, it was quite a delight to hit her earlier. I’ve finally vented all the resentment bottled within me!

Picking at random, she glanced through two news reports. The contents were mainly still the same, but this time, they brought up John and Isabelle’s engagement in the past. She actually had no idea what exactly happened between the two of them back then. The only thing she knew was that the two families were initially planning to join in marriage, and it was her appearance that shattered the balance.

From the article, she read that it was actually Matilda who mediated the union between the Constance and Bailey Family. It was said that Matilda liked Isabelle very much after a single meeting, so she brought the matter up when she got home. At that time, it was about time for John to get married, and he was doing rather well in Constance Group, having some minor achievements career-wise. Thus, it’d be perfect if he had a happy family then. The Constance Family considered the matter and felt that the Bailey Family was a good choice.

The Bailey Family, on the other hand, naturally admired John, so they agreed when the Constance Family proposed the idea. This marriage contract was smooth sailing in the beginning. Besides, the article mentioned that John and Isabelle had also met up, upon which John was very much satisfied with her, but something happened later, and he married someone else who was inferior to her in every aspect.

When Sophia read the first half of the article, she didn’t find any problem with it, but in the second half… Inferior in every aspect? Pah!

Sophia put down her cell phone. It truly isn’t worth it to have made myself irate again from just reading a news report. Hugging her blanket, she rolled around twice before closing her eyes. There’s nothing else to be done besides sleep.

Meanwhile, the employees at Constance Group were all confounded. After all, Sophia had visited in the past and appeared very loving with John, so it came as an utter surprise that they’d then divorced in short order.

Early this morning, that female employee known as Miss Cox jumped out again, claiming that everything she said back then was true—the cracks in John and Sophia’s relationship stemmed from his affair with her. In the past, few people believed the woman’s words, but now that John was in the limelight and someone was playing this up, this woman’s claim was taken as proof of his habitual cheating by many.
