Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 372

At first the man was covering his face, but upon hearing what Ian said, he gradually put down his hands. “If I’ll be honest, can you not report me to the police?”

What a coward! How did he get in? Sophia simply couldn’t understand it.

Ian nodded. “It depends on how honest you are.”

After he sat up slowly on the floor, the man dared not stand up but remained seated in a crossed leg position. From his looks, he did look young. Trying to get on Ian’s good side, the man said, “I’ll spill, so please don’t turn me in. I didn’t take anything, so you lose nothing. And look at me; I’ve been beaten up so badly.”

Hearing that, Sophia reached out for the stick and roared, “Quit your nonsense! Spill now before I give you another good whack!”

“No no no! I’ll speak! I’ll speak now! Someone gave me money and ordered me to come here, but I wasn’t asked to steal anything. The person said you live on your own and if I get a chance, I should beat you up and leave,” he spluttered.

“Beat me up?” Sophia was surprised. “That’s all?”

Nodding his head, the man had an honest expression. “Yes, that’s all! Beat you up and send her a picture as proof. She will then send me the money, and it was not a small sum at all.”

Chuckling, he continued, “That was indeed a large sum of money, so I was tempted. If it were another person, they would be tempted to do so too.”

Drawing in a long breath, Sophia said, “Dude, this must be your first time doing such a thing.”

Dumbstruck for a moment, the man clicked his tongue. “This is indeed my first,” the man admitted and his face reddened.

Gazing at Sophia, Ian asked, “Can you guess who would do this to you?”

“Of course!” Sophia had a person in mind. “John’s mother. She’s the only person who would do such a foolish thing.”

Knowing Mrs. Constance, she probably didn’t know who to approach to help her, and since these matters needed to be done secretly, she probably found some random someone to do the dirty job for her. However, the person she had found was rather similar to her—a dimwit who couldn’t get things done.

Unaware of the conflict between Sophia and Mrs. Constance, Ian was completely dumbfounded. “Why will Mrs. Constance do this to you?”

Sophia and John were officially divorced. Obviously, the scandal over the Internet had affected John’s reputation, but all of it wasn’t Sophia’s fault. Furthermore, Mrs. Constance shouldn’t have done such a terrible thing toward Sopia.

With a smile, Sophia sat on her bed. “Well, that’s a long story.”

Frankly, Sophia didn’t really want to talk about it, because Mrs. Constance was in fact being whacked by her, so it was kind of humiliating for John's mother. Besides, Sophia thought it didn't look good on herself too.

Gazing at the man, Sophia asked, “The person who hired you—do you remember what she looks like?”

Nodding his head, he said, “I remember! We met just this afternoon. How can I forget? ”

“Do you mind telling me your name?” asked Sophia as she continued to stare at him.

Without hesitating, he blurted, “You can call me Husky.”

Oh, wow! That’s a rather memorable name. After giving it some thought, she said, "Husky, I have a favor to ask. If you can help me with it, I won't report to the police and you can leave."

Hearing that, Husky immediately agreed without a second thought. "Alright. State your condition."

For some strange reasons, Sophia thought this person reminded her of Logan. Somehow, there were some similarities between the two. Then, Sophia turned to ask Ian, "Can you help me find a picture of Mrs. Constance? I need him to verify something."

Fortunately, finding the picture would be easy peasy.
