Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 284

Sophia was startled at the mention of Dylan. “Hey, are John and Dylan on good terms? Please tell me the truth. I won’t tell anyone else. I promise that I’ll keep it a secret after I step out of this restaurant.”

Gazing at her, Zack questioned with a frown, “Why did you ask about Dylan suddenly? Are you curious about him?”

Sophia burst into laughter. “I wasn’t curious about him at first, but you guys kept telling me to stay away from him. Moreover, you seemed to be hiding something when talking about him. That’s what has my interest piqued.”

Zack snorted, “Stop being curious about him. He’s not comparable to your ex husband at all.”

That remark amused Sophia. “What does it have to do with John whether I’m curious about Dylan?”

Zack kept his mouth shut for a while and continued, “Alright, I’ll tell you about Dylan, but after listening to it from me, please don’t go ask your ex husband. If he found out about it, he would definitely be displeased.”

Sophia mumbled, “Alright, got it.”

Then, Zack started telling the story.

As a big family, there was inevitably some internal strife within the Constance Family.

No matter how these people schemed against each other, they wouldn’t let it be known to the public.

As the eldest son, William started working for the company pretty early on.

Because of that, his father had given him the most important work.

Although the other three brothers never voiced out their discontent, they were unresigned about it.

In that case, the three brothers decided to support each other in a subtle way and became closer to each other.

For this reason, the sons of the three brothers slowly stayed away from John as well.

As an indifferent man, John never tried to repair his relationship with his cousins.

Young Master Samuel, Young Master Edward and their children lived in foreign countries, which meant only John and Dylan were left to run the company. Zack thus believed that they were competing with each other currently.

Sophia nodded. “I see.”

So did John tell me to stay away from Dylan because he doesn’t like him?

Does he think he’s still a child by stopping the people around him from seeing the person he doesn’t like?

How childish!

After the lunch was over, Sophia ordered two more meals for the renovation workers.

Looking at her, Zack remarked with a smile, “You’re a good woman.”

It was a shame that John didn’t know that he had lost a good wife.

It was a shama that John didn’t know that ha had lost a good wifa.

Sophia replied proudly, “I’ve always been a good woman.”

Upon returning to the shop, Sophia got the meals ready for the renovation workers to enjoy.

Zack examined the shop and pointed out that many areas had to be worked on carefully. If there was any problem, it would be difficult to make amendments in the future.

The renovation worker looked at him and explained, “Don’t worry. Since we're friends, we won’t scam you.”

When lunchtime was over, Zack returned to the company.

Sophia stayed in the shop for a little longer. Since she knew nothing about renovation, she decided to hail a taxi and go home.

On the other hand, John was taking a rest when Zack returned to the company.

Right after Zack stepped into the office, John opened his bloodshot eyes.

Zack directly said, “I took a look at Sophia’s shop just now. There’s no problem currently.”

John mumbled, “Just take care of it on my behalf. You don’t have to update me on the progress.”

Gazing at him, Zack persuaded, “Take a nap if you’re feeling unwell. You look tired.”

A moment later, John reassured Zack that he was okay.

Smacking his lips, Zack questioned, “Didn’t you sleep well last night?”
