Now that money was no longer an issue, Cindy felt like she managed to overcome a huge hurdle. She put away the dining utensils before returning to her room. Upon hearing a chime on her phone, she quickly checked it to see that the money had arrived. As always, Ian was swift in his actions. After that, she transferred the money to her family almost immediately.
She didn’t even care to inform her family that she had made the transfer. Instead, she switched off her phone before taking a shower. Learning her lesson, she dried her hair thoroughly after the shower, taking the medicine before lying down in bed. Due to the properties of the medicine, she dozed off without sinking into disturbing thoughts.
Out of habit, she woke up on time the next morning despite still feeling slightly groggy. Deftly, she washed up before leaving to buy breakfast downstairs. She was soon back in the hotel, knocking on the door to Ian’s room, which he answered quickly. Staring at her, he questioned, “Have you recovered?”
Nodding, Cindy entered his room as soon as he opened the door to put down the food on the table. However, her phone rang before she could lay the food out. Initially, she assumed it was a call from her family to inform her of having received the money, only to realize it was a call from Hannah after checking the caller ID, so she picked up instantly. “Ms. Jones.”
Hannah sounded dour over the phone when she spoke. “What’s going on? What are the online articles talking about?”
Startled, Cindy realized she hadn’t read anything online. Due to Hannah’s volume, Ian could hear their conversation, so he inquired while walking over to Cindy, “What’s wrong?”
Cindy shook her head at him before telling him in a hushed voice, “I think some news might’ve broken out online.”
Walking into his room, Ian did a search on his phone to see that scandals of him and Sena were all over the internet. The articles were written in a fashion that made the scandal sound plausible. Other than fabricating that Ian spent time alone with Sena before their duet, there were also parts such as Sena being witnessed coming out from the dressing room in a disheveled state.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
