The pictures must have been leaked out from him.
You’re a scumbag and a jerk, John, just as Logan said before, she cursed silently. Before this, you said that you would let me come up with a reason for the divorce when it’s announced, and now you want to leak this out secretly at this critical moment and find a saying which suits your interest? That’s so insidious.
She never thought that he was such a person and she even trusted his character so much before this no matter what.
Moments later, John turned around and saw her. “Is anything the matter?” he asked, expressionless.
“Yeah,” she said. “Come over here. I have something interesting to show you which I’m sure will make you laugh.”
Even though he frowned, he still went over to her.
Holding up her cell phone, Sophia passed it to him and said, “Aren’t you going to explain to me why you didn’t even inform me before you did this? Do you want me to find out that you’ve stabbed me behind my back only after the news had spread all over town?”
In the beginning, John didn’t see clearly what it was after taking her cell phone over, but his face immediately changed after a couple of seconds. He stared at it until Logan called again.
He had seen that the sender of the pictures was Logan, so he picked up the call straight away and even put it on loudspeaker mode.
With a sneer, Sophia asked, “What is it, Logan?”
Logan babbled a little and it was obvious that he found it hard to tell her the news, so she repeated, “Can you find out where these pictures came from?”
Finally, he sighed and answered, “Yeah, I found out that these pictures were sent to the media by the Constance Family.”
Almost instantly, Sophia burst into laughter and said, “So my guess was right.”
As John frowned with a bitingly cold look on his face, she took the phone from him and thanked Logan, “Thanks for this, Logan. I’ll buy you a meal someday.” With that, she hung up.
In huge strides, John went back to his bedroom upstairs and opened his drawer to find that the divorce certificate and agreement were still there.
He took them out and looked through it, then something crossed his mind. Tightening his jaw in annoyance, he placed them down and immediately made a call to William at the Constance Residence.
Still in his study, William wasn’t surprised that John was calling because he thought he wanted to discuss the issue on the Internet with him.
Thus, he sounded calm when he picked up the call. “Have you thought about what to do? The public relations department has sent us a few draft statements, but I don’t think they’re that good after taking a look. Would you like to go through them?”
“No need for that,” John declined. “But I would like to ask you for a favor, Dad. Ask Mom if she sent the media pictures of my divorce certificate and agreement which she took in secret. I don’t want to be the one to ask her this because I’m afraid that I’ll blow my top, so please help me.”
Stunned, William asked, “What did you say? What did she take pictures of and even sent to the media?”
Shutting his eyes, John repeated, “Please ask her if she was the one who did it.”
Springing up from his seat, William agreed, “Okay, I got it.”
After William hung up the call, John held his cell phone in his hand and contemplated for a long while before going downstairs again.
Seated on the couch watching TV, John didn’t know what programme Sophia was watching but bouts of laughter could be heard from it, and she was smiling along as well.
Just one glance at her was enough to make him feel like all his energy had been sapped out of his body. It seemed like she wasn’t the least bit bothered at all.
