Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 329

John closed his eyes and queried, “You don’t think it’s a good idea?”

“Of course it isn’t a good idea,” Sophia said candidly. “Are you out of your mind? After spending such a huge effort to get rid of me, now you’re talking about remarrying me? John, just be honest with me. Are you proposing this just because it pisses you off to see me getting so many things from you after the divorce?”

Staring at her, John sighed after a lengthy silence, “In fact, I understand that a remarriage might not be the best option. But still… I don’t think…”

He didn’t manage to finish his sentence even after much hesitation.

For the time being, he didn’t feel like announcing their divorce to the public because the timing just wasn’t right. However, judging from how things had been going lately, it seemed like there was nothing much they could do to stop the news about their divorce from reaching the public soon.

With her lips pursed, Sophia asked after some time, “What’s the issue? Has the picture of our divorce certificate reached the Baileys already?”

John looked stunned as he didn’t think Sophia would know that.

Sophia chuckled because she didn’t need to be a rocket scientist to relate the matter to the Baileys.

“You guys wouldn’t be this panicked if only the media companies have gotten the pictures because you can settle the problem by offering them enough money. So, the only possible reason why you guys are this desperate is because the picture has reached a certain party whom you guys have no control over even with money,” Sophia elaborated in an airy tone.

As far as she knew about Mrs. Constance’s character, after snapping the photo of the divorce certificate, she would definitely send it to Isabelle to share the joy with her.

John thought over what she said and questioned, “Have you thought about what we should do next?”

Sophia nodded at him. “To be honest, I’ve been thinking about it since yesterday.”

In fact, Isabelle was the last person she wanted to be aware of her divorce with John, but there was nothing she could do now because she already knew.

Although getting a remarriage could solve the problem, it was not an ideal option and Sophia didn’t feel like resorting to it.

John looked at her and asked, “What do you think is the better way to deal with it?”

Sophia stared at him with a collected expression. “You may want to amend the date of the divorce certificate with photoshop before posting it on the internet.”

As long as they amended the date to make the divorce seem like it was done recently, it would then have nothing to do with Infinity Group.

This way, she would not have to clarify the reason why she had still been appearing lovey-dovey with John in public and defending him.

She believed the Baileys would not mind John amending the date of the divorce certificate too.

John narrowed his eyes slightly without moving his gaze away from her. “Do you know that I’ll be deemed as taking Isabelle’s side by doing this?”

Of course Sophia was aware of that.

Under normal circumstances, John may just directly deny having anything more than a friendship with Isabelle.

Since the Baileys would not want Isabelle’s reputation to be tarnished, they only needed to issue a joint declaration together with the Constances to clarify that Isabelle and John were merely having a business discussion when they were discovered to be spending time together.

Then, Sophia just needed to quell the public opinion by telling everyone that she trusted John.

That was how they would deal with the matter under normal circumstances.

However, the current situation was more tricky because someone out there was spreading the rumor that John and Isabelle were more than just business partners.

Therefore, the public might not buy the explanation they offered.

Most importantly, Mrs. Constance had sent a photo of their divorce certificate to Isabelle.

Sophia reckoned the reason why John proposed a remarriage right after he came back was because his negotiation with the Baileys did not turn out too well.

If they were willing to cooperate with him, he wouldn’t have to resort to this option.

Sophia answered him with a smile, “I’m fine with it because I’ve never been too bothered by things like this right from the beginning.”

John let out a sigh and Sophia could tell he was in a great quandary.

With a wide grin, she asked dauntlessly, “In fact, I’m more curious to know what you have discussed with the Baileys.”

John sat cross-legged and tapped his fingers on his thigh while he responded, “What concerns them the most is Isabelle’s reputation, and I completely understand that.”
