Furthermore, since Bryce had previously locked Leah in the basement, Cindy caught a glimpse of Leah's condition through the videotapes. The basement didn't seem like a pleasant place—its conditions were harsh, and Leah had spent a long while inside. Despite so, Leah still managed to survive, and she even came back as her usual arrogant, aggressive, and haughty self. Cindy couldn't imagine what Leah must have gone through to end up sacrificing her own life.
Ian didn't know the details of the situation, so Cindy had a lot of questions that she didn't have the answers to. Both of them could only sigh and lament over the situation on the phone. Soon enough, Ian arrived at the hotel. He had to grab a meal, so they ended the call before that. After Cindy got off the call, she hurried off to check the news. It seemed like there were no reports on Leah's situation yet.
Even though there weren't any reports just yet, Cindy was certain that the news would spread soon. I wonder what the public will think of Ian then. People nowadays seem to use death as a measure of the whole situation. Regardless of the evil deeds one may commit throughout their life, it seems as if they're absolved of all sins from the moment they die, she thought.
Things were the same with Bryce—Bryce was the one who had put himself in such a dire situation. Yet, the public was quick to forgive him simply because his story had a bad ending to it. They talked about how things were hard for him, how he had been fooled, and how pitiful he was. They placed all of the faults on Leah. Now that Leah is gone, the public is probably going to find ways to make her seem innocent. They'll probably shift all of the blame to someone else instead. Cindy let out a sigh. It seems like this series of terrible events will never end.

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...
