At first the man was covering his face, but upon hearing what Ian said, he gradually put down his hands. “If I’ll be honest, can you not report me to the police?”
What a coward! How did he get in? Sophia simply couldn’t understand it.
Ian nodded. “It depends on how honest you are.”
After he sat up slowly on the floor, the man dared not stand up but remained seated in a crossed leg position. From his looks, he did look young. Trying to get on Ian’s good side, the man said, “I’ll spill, so please don’t turn me in. I didn’t take anything, so you lose nothing. And look at me; I’ve been beaten up so badly.”
Hearing that, Sophia reached out for the stick and roared, “Quit your nonsense! Spill now before I give you another good whack!”
“No no no! I’ll speak! I’ll speak now! Someone gave me money and ordered me to come here, but I wasn’t asked to steal anything. The person said you live on your own and if I get a chance, I should beat you up and leave,” he spluttered.
“Beat me up?” Sophia was surprised. “That’s all?”
Nodding his head, the man had an honest expression. “Yes, that’s all! Beat you up and send her a picture as proof. She will then send me the money, and it was not a small sum at all.”
Chuckling, he continued, “That was indeed a large sum of money, so I was tempted. If it were another person, they would be tempted to do so too.”
Drawing in a long breath, Sophia said, “Dude, this must be your first time doing such a thing.”
Dumbstruck for a moment, the man clicked his tongue. “This is indeed my first,” the man admitted and his face reddened.
Gazing at Sophia, Ian asked, “Can you guess who would do this to you?”
“Of course!” Sophia had a person in mind. “John’s mother. She’s the only person who would do such a foolish thing.”

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...
