Next One Is a Babe

Matilda pursed her lips and stared at Sophia with a reluctant expression, but her tone was friendler compared to before. “Why are you here?”

Sophia totally ignored Matilda, but the latter dared not provoke Sophia nowadays because Sophia held a weapon—the knowledge of her divorce. Then, Isabelle glanced at Sophia before turning to look at Matilda, who was acting quite differently than before, to Isabelle’s surprise.

Ignoring the two, Sophia simply picked her groceries at the section and left with her cart. When Sophia vanished from Matilda’s sight, Matilda spat, “Who does she think she is? Just another cheap woman. She thinks too highly of herself.”

Isabelle smiled gently. “It’s okay. Let’s not get angry at people like her. It’s not worth it.”

Now, Matilda had the guts to talk bad about Sophia at her back. “I can’t be bothered to argue with people like her. Do you know that she’s a crazy and uncouth woman who doesn’t care about decency when she argues? Saying one more word in front of her only makes me feel that I’m descending to her level.”

“Yeah yeah.” Isabelle smiled and went along with her. “Now that John has divorced her, the Constance Family will have no connection whatsoever with her! Let’s not get angry. We will completely cut her off from our lives.”

Matilda took Isabelle’s hand. “If not for John’s grandpa’s insistence back then, I would never have allowed a woman like her to marry into our family. For this, I feel very guilty toward you.”

Isabelle pursed her lips into a forced smile. “Oh well, thankfully it’s all over now.”

Matilda drew a long sigh. “Yeah. In the future, you should get along well with John. We’ll never bring this topic up anymore.”

Isabelle sank into conflicted thoughts and she stole a look at the direction where Sophia had left. To her, the problem was the great difficulty to get closer to John, for he was not enthusiastic toward her and she felt difficult to make any other moves.

With her hands full of groceries, Sophia got home and instantly received a call from Logan. He was chuckling over the phone, telling her that trouble ensued at the Morgans again. With his continuous interference and scheming, it was only normal for the Morgans to be putting out fires every day.

Logan couldn’t tell that Sophia was uninterested, so he rambled on. “Simon went out to have fun last night and went home a little drunk. On his way back, he asked the cab driver to stop for him to puke on the street, but he ended up getting robbed out there!”

Simon was quite hot-tempered to start with. Coupled with the effect of alcohol, he was definitely unwilling to surrender, so he immediately got into a brawl with the two hooligans on the street. The cab driver was scared and didn’t get out of the car to help. Therefore, Simon managed to get himself injured and hospitalized after going up alone against the two men.

Sophia replied, “Oh. Those two hooligans were hired by you, weren’t they?”

“Yeah, that’s right.” Logan sounded proud of himself. “Only I could teach that insolent brat a lesson.” True. Logan had a worse reputation than Simon; only a bad guy like him could deal with another equally horrid jerk.
