The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1390

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.
