The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1174

A faint sense of gratification manifested on Sophia’s face. “That’s good. Frankly speaking, I don’t quite fancy seeing her even though she did me a favor.” After saying that, she laughed maniacally again and declared self-deprecatingly, “I’ve always been such a dastardly person.”

Plopping down on the bed, John flipped over and hugged her tightly. “I love how you treat others dastardly.” After he’d said that, he then asked, “Do you know that Ian’s show is over?”

“I know. I watched a bit of it,” Sophia replied. “But I then fell asleep without watching until the very end.” At this, she gave an embarrassed chuckle. I’m simply a fake fan. In the past, I boasted of my support for him, but I ended up failing to watch even a single show of his to the end.

John leaned over and pecked her on the corner of her mouth. “He’ll probably be returning in a few days. He has signed with a company, and his upcoming schedule is rather packed, so he’ll probably come back before that to meet up with you guys.”

Sophia looked up at him. “How do you know all this?”

How do I know all this? John didn’t quite know how to answer her, because he’d also invested in the show Lorraine invested in, making him one of the bankrollers behind the scenes. A bankroller had the absolute right to dictate parameters, so it was convenient for him to play underhanded tricks behind closed doors.

It was him who proposed the closed-door training and confiscation of cell phones, forbidding any contact with the outside world. He even furtively pressured the crew to have them suggest that Ian refrain from divulging too much of his love life on the show. Back then, he was extremely disgruntled that Ian had confessed his love for Sophia twice on the show, so he cut off all communication between them.
