The Returning Ex

Chapter 1405

Cindy wasn’t quite sure what Hannah had in mind, so she remained silent while waiting for Hannah’s clarification, her lips pursed. However, the latter merely said, “It’s getting late, so you should get some rest. We’ll talk about things tomorrow after you get back to the agency.”

Even after Hannah hung up, Cindy had yet to find out what was on the latter’s mind. After spacing out for a bit, she washed up, then she lay down on her bed to go through the news again. There wasn’t anything new regarding Ian’s scandal, and most of the netizens had their focus on Sena, as they were still waiting for a response from her.

Meanwhile, the show that Ian was on also received a lot of negative criticism. The audience suspected that the production team made a pact with Sena in order to garner more attention by creating such a ruckus, only to find that Ian in fact came prepared. There were others who praised Ian for his brilliant tactic, as he would have become the scapegoat if he didn’t record what happened in the dressing room. Besides, the incident might also have affected his relationship with his girlfriend.

Cindy sighed at the thought of his girlfriend. Under normal circumstances, celebrities wouldn’t hide their girlfriends after making their relationship public, but the identity of Ian’s girlfriend was a total enigma. Not only did nobody know who his girlfriend was, but nobody even knew her name, nor did they know what she looked like. Moreover, she didn’t even give him a call nor show any of her support when the scandal broke out, which was peculiar when Cindy thought about it.

On the other hand, Sophia was playing with her child when John came in with a sullen look on his face. At the sight of his face, Sophia froze. She didn’t recall having a fight with him as of late, so he had no reason to behave like that. Staring at him, she asked, “What’s wrong? Did some idiot cross you?”

With his phone in hand, John sat down on the bed before handing the phone to Sophia. “You should check this out.”

In her confusion, Sophia tapped on the screen, only to see the gossip on the Internet. She went through the article roughly before letting out a snort. Even after reading through it, she didn’t think it was that big of a deal, as it merely showed photos of Logan and her that someone found while digging up Ian’s past. The article gave some information about both Logan and herself without saying anything harsh.

She handed the phone back to John while questioning, “What’s the matter? What the news wrote is all true.”

With a frown, John asked, “Don’t you know what this means?”

Upon seeing how serious he was, she blinked and shook her head. “Nope.” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

Exhaling, John said, “They’re trying to find out who Ian’s so-called girlfriend is. Do you think you will be able to hide forever?”

Sophia didn’t seem to get it. “Why can’t I? I never was his girlfriend.”

She knew Ian mentioned his girlfriend twice when he was on the show, and she also knew he was referring to her. However, they never dated, so there never was a romantic relationship to begin with. Therefore, she figured that the netizens wouldn’t know it was her even if they looked into the matter.

Sneering, John made a dry remark. “You are overly simplifying things.” The netizens didn’t really care about the facts. Although Sophia and Ian were never in a relationship, Ian only ever had a single female friend, who was none other than Sophia. Besides, there was a time gap between the two incidents, as John had not remarried Sophia yet when Ian confessed to her on the show.

Other than that, Logan, Sophia and Ian were known to be close around that time as well, whereas John and Isabelle’s relationship was also one of the latest gossip back then. Whoever that looked into the

timeline would realize that something was off. With their wild imaginations, the netizens might very well uncover some leads to the truth.

Thus, John figured that Sophia would sooner or later be implicated if things went on, as there were no other possible candidates around Ian. Meanwhile, Sophia carried her child in her arms while patting him. Obviously, she didn’t think much of the situation. “I already have a child, so they won’t think of me as a possible candidate.”
