Had the Constances not called the Flintstones for help, John guessed that Matilda would be even more of a trouble. After taking in some mouthfuls of food, John placed his fork
down and leaned into the chair to stare at Sophia and Robin, who were enjoying lunch. Noticing that he stopped eating, Robin looked at him. “You’re not eating?”
He couldn’t help but sigh. “I don’t have the appetite.”
The girls knew the reason behind his lack of appetite. When the internet exploded from the news, the netizens brought up John’s divorce and went over it again. The
Constances had a good reputation in the past, but as a result of William and John, their family name was tainted.
Sophia got a little mad when she recalled Matilda’s expression from the video yesterday. Indeed, a woman like her would cause a lot of damage if she were to throw a fit.
Taking a few bites, she placed her fork down as well. “Your grandmother must be super angry right now.”
John chuckled at the comment. Of course, she’s indeed furious. Yesterday, when he entered the main building, he found her pounding on her chest, saying that she felt stuffy.
Beside her sat William with a sullen expression.
It was rare to see that expression on William. In the past, Matilda had created lots of trouble and threw many tantrums, to which William showed no response. He always
preferred to muddle through the trouble, appeasing both the Constance Family and his wife. He had never clearly expressed his irritation at Matilda like how he did yesterday.
A while later, John stared at Robin. “I’ve sent someone to investigate your issue.”
Robin hurriedly looked at him, after which he elaborated in a robotic tone, “My men investigated within you and Sophia’s social circles but found nothing suspicious. I talked to

targeted because of someone you didn’t even know. Do you remember who went to the washroom with you that night? Did someone wear a similar outfit as you?”
Sophia was surprised at the conclusion. Didn’t the man target her? A few days had passed since the incident, and Robin could not recall who she met at the washroom.
That night, she had some drinks and was in an elated mood, so her brain was tripping. When she entered the washroom, she didn’t even bother to register the women around
her. I mean, I was entering the restroom, so what was there to look at? Therefore, Robin shook her head. “I can’t remember anything.”
Hearing the same reply, John sighed. “It’s alright. We’ll take this slow. From what we observe now, both of you don’t seem to have any security threats around you.”
Robin pursed her lips and combed through her memories. “I don’t have any enemies; the same goes for Sophia. Perhaps, someone mistook me for another woman.”
John didn’t say anything after that, but he still looked tense. When Robin was done with lunch, he stretched and said, “You guys should get back to work. I’ll leave now.”
He sounded very straightforward. Without looking at anyone, he stood up, brushed his shirt, and left. Sophia remained seated and watched as he left in a cab. A while later,
she let out a stuffy sigh.
Indeed, the commotion online about William’s divorce dragged on for some time, and she stopped paying attention to it soon. When she checked the comments, it wasn’t
even much of a deal.
A few days later, the Blackwells called Sophia and informed her about the dinner taking place on the next day and that they’d pick her up. She agreed to it, and since the
dinner was around evening, she decided to close the store earlier, which she brought up to Robin beforehand. Smiling, Robin asked, “Are you going on a date?
“What date? It’s just a dinner with ulterior motives.” Sophia was not interested at all. Robin sat across her and said, “I thought you were meeting with Mr. Constance.”
Faced with her business partner’s question, Sophia grinned. “I’m not even friends with them. We won’t meet up without a good reason.”
