Having undergone all that suffering, he still needs to tell us everything. That’s just sad.
Sophia stood at the entrance of the warehouse and looked inside. The man had been pushed off his chair and was now lying huddled on the ground, his body covered in blood. A cigarette dangled from the side of John’s mouth as he stepped down hard on the man’s thigh wound. “And then?”
Seeing that the man refused to speak further, John applied more strength to his foot. The man screamed and then groaned. “Okay, okay. I’ll tell you!”
Sophia stood at the door listening to him. The man said hesitantly that the person who instructed him to do this job would often ask him to do this kind of thing, but the previous jobs he had done were more complicated than this one. This job was much simpler; all he had to do was to hit a woman in the belly with a hard object. He originally thought that it was so simple that there was no need for him to spend much effort on it, but he didn’t expect things to end up this way.
When John asked who hired him, the man yelled, “Old Leopard! It’s Old Leopard. All I know is this nickname. His real name is no longer in use. Everybody now calls him that.”
John laughed. “It’s him again? I’ve already had him tailed, yet he is still able to act up. It seems that I need to discard some of my subordinates too.”
Sophia felt bored. Now, she no longer needed to do anything, so there was no room for her to perform any further. Thus, she found a place to sit down by the door and took out her phone to call Matilda. She mainly wanted to ask the latter if she felt any discomfort, and to tell her to go to the hospital quickly if something felt wrong. After all, Matilda was no spring chicken anymore, so there might be some bad effects.
From the other end of the phone, Matilda said that she was fine, and she didn’t need to go to the hospital. Sophia could vaguely hear William’s voice asking Matilda if the water was too hot and if she wanted to drink it now. Laughing, Sophia thought to herself that sometimes, things might look bad on the surface, but it would turn out to be a blessing in disguise. Some of the best surprises were hidden within the worst situations.

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...
