The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 500

After Logan was told to wait with Sophia in the room, he silently walked away with her, seemingly reluctant to stay

with those people any longer. Meanwhile, Logan’s men were still in the room, but they were all no longer in the

mood to continue having fun as they quietly waited for the rest to return.

As soon as Sophia got back to the room, she sat on the couch with her head lowered, feeling a hunch that Robin’s

kidnap had something to do with her. Robin once told me that her social life is pretty simple because she only has a

few friends. Furthermore, she didn’t usually go out due to her strict upbringing. In fact, I was the one who invited

her to hang out those nights.

Sophia racked her brain to figure out how Robin had gotten into trouble with anyone she might have crossed, but to

no avail. Nonetheless, she was sure that this was a coordinated abduction, which she was partly responsible for.

The more she dwelled on that, the greater the pain that she felt deep down.

At the same time, Logan made a few phone calls in the room to have his men investigate Robin’s kidnap. I bet the

vehicle’s registration number that we saw in the security footage was a fake one. Why would they use a real one

and risk blowing their cover when committing a crime like this?

While Sophia was waiting in the room, Zack soon came over with John, whose expression appeared calm and

collected. Then, John told her that he had dispatched his men to search for Robin’s whereabouts just as the police

were looking into the matter. Therefore, he believed it wouldn’t take long before the result was announced. With

everyone’s mood ruined, Zack came over and said, “Let’s go home. It’s too noisy here, so we might as well wait for

their news at home.”

After grabbing everything they needed, everyone set off for Sophia’s place to gather there, thinking that they could

keep her company since she was all alone by herself. While Sophia sat on her couch at home and waited for the

news, Logan headed to the kitchen and got her some warm water. Cupping the glass of water in her hands, Sophia

said, “The shirt Robin wore today is mine. We both have similar builds, so I reckoned she could just come here and

wear one of my shirts.”

Upon hearing that, John, Zack, and Logan turned around and stared at Sophia, but she didn’t meet their gazes.

Instead, her eyes fell upon the kettle on the table as she said, “We took a cab to the karaoke just now, but on our

way there, the driver asked whether there was anyone we might have crossed. I didn’t take his words seriously at

that time, so I said no. Later, when we arrived at our destination, the driver told us to watch out for our own safety.”

Logan stared at Sophia and asked, “Do you mean that this fella had been tailing you ladies all along?”

At that moment, John chipped in, “Are you saying that this guy was after you but mistook Robin for you?”

“I don’t know whether I’m overreacting, but as I put the pieces together, this seems to be the most logical

possibility to me,” Sophia closed her eyes and said.

Meanwhile, John only stared at Sophia while wondering, If whoever did this was really after Sophia, then it must be

someone whom she previously rubbed the wrong way, but there are only a few people who don’t really like her.

Soon, John stood up and said, “I’m going to make a phone call.” Then, he stepped out of the house and stood in the

courtyard, giving Matilda a call.

A few seconds later, the call was quickly answered as Matilda happily said, “Hey John, what’s up?”

John paused briefly and replied, “I have some questions for you, and I hope you could be honest with me.”

The man’s stern voice took Matilda aback. After a few seconds of silence, she sounded more serious. “What’s

wrong, John? You sound scary.”

John then took a deep breath and asked, “Did you send someone to mess with Sophia?”

Confused, Matilda said, “What’re you talking about? Did you just say I sent someone to mess with Sophia? Did you

hear this from her?”

“No!” John added, “Something has come up with Sophia, and I just want to know whether you’re behind this. Tell me
