The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1969

Chapter 1969 Official Announcement

The director mentioned that Yulia tried to offer an olive branch to Ian by recommending him top resources, but Ian rejected her as he wanted to build his career step by step.

This made Cindy feel gratified as the news had given the public a good impression of Ian.

The fourth viral news was a picture of them kissing next to a fountain.

Although the picture was blurry and no one else could see their facial features as they were kissing, she knew that it was them.

Nevertheless, the person who leaked the picture could only note that the couple bore resemblance to Ian and Cindy but wasn’t sure if it was really them.

It was unprecedented for a person to take up four viral news with completely different contents.

After Naomi analyzed each and every one of the news to Cindy, she questioned in curiosity, “Did your company pay for writers to pen all these at once?”

Cindy felt like laughing. “Did you even read all these articles that they’re releasing? Why would the company hire writers to create contents like these and release them altogether? News like these can backfire easily and the company is not dumb after all.”

After pondering for a moment, Naomi realized that Cindy was right and sighed. “I guess this news is real.”

Cindy remarked quietly, “Of course they are.”

Naomi paused for two seconds before she suddenly lost her temper. “So, you’re saying Yulia, that shameless b*tch, is trying to ruin Ian’s reputation just because she can’t get him?”

She was finding it really hard to keep her emotions in check. “Looks like she hasn’t gotten enough scoldings from me, huh? I’ll have to head over and scold her again later.”

Right then, Cindy lamented, “Well, Yulia probably doesn't need you to do that as her reputation is going to take a hit again once it’s revealed that she’s the person behind this piece of news.”

Yulia’s reputation had taken a hit ever since what happened between her and Ian in the past was leaked. If she were to get involved in Ian’s issue again, it would definitely affect her badly in every way possible.

As expected, it was really hard to work in the entertainment field as you would never know when something might happen to your career and you’d have to live your days cautiously at all times.

Since Naomi wanted to confront Yulia, she ended the call with Cindy on a short notice. After the call ended, Ian turned toward Cindy. “You guys have been talking for a while. What were you guys talking about?”

However, Cindy took her phone to scroll through her social media platforms instead of answering Ian. Naomi wasn’t exaggerating at all as Ian was all over the viral news on the Internet.

After scrolling for a bit, Cindy showed her phone to him. “Look at this, bro. You’re on the viral news again. In fact, you’re simultaneously on four of them. You’re getting popular, huh?”

Not knowing what she was talking about, Ian took her phone and started reading before he burst into laughter. “These are exaggerations.”

Since when did I say that it’s not?

Cindy agreed as well. Then, she smacked her lips and asked, “With these news releases at the same time, I wonder whether it’ll have a good or bad effect on you.”

Still, Ian wasn’t bothered at all. “The company will probably handle them, so let’s just wait for their response.”

He wasn’t really surprised by the viral news as the one in the set would surely be released, the one with his fans was normal, and the one with the director was recorded by someone else, but he wasn’t in the wrong as the director was indeed speaking too loud at that time.

About him and Cindy kissing... Ian took a deep breath. He really didn’t notice that there were people who secretly took pictures of them as there were only mothers bringing their kids out to play and he really didn’t expect those folks to be so nosy.

Fortunately, none of these had really badly influenced his reputation, so he could bear with it.

After that, they continued walking. When they were about to reach the hotel, Hannah’s call came through.

It seemed like Hannah just emerged from a meeting as there were noises coming from her end of the call and she contacted Ian because of the news that went viral online.

He said, “I just saw them after my friend notified me about them earlier.”

She hummed in acknowledgement. “Although all of this viral news is on our side, a few of them being released all at once isn’t really good for your reputation, so it’s better if you stay low and wait for the company to make an official announcement.”
