Chapter 899
“Oh, so Sophie and Colby left the Minton Estate together, totally safe. I heard they had like, a hundred and eighty people with them – it must’ve been quite the spectacle. Too bad I wasn’t there. I could’ve snagged an exclusive scoop.”
Angelo said, a hint of regret flickering in his eyes.
Overseas, he could only be Kiran. Otherwise, with his talent, he could’ve been the top journalist, both at home and abroad!
“Wait a sec, wasn’t Sophie your ex–wife? Why do you care about your ex’s business? You should be more concerned about your wife’s affairs!”
Angelo, ever the gossip, rushed over to James and asked, “Is Nichole pretty? Is she like, drop–dead gorgeous? I heard Sophie was the top socialite in Devonport, absolutely stunning. If Nichole made you cheat, she must be even more beautiful than Sophie… Mmph! Mmph!”
James quickly stuffed a sandwich into Angelo’s mouth, saying coldly, “If you don’t think before you speak, then shut up. I don’t want you getting beaten up out there.”
Angelo looked innocent as he pulled the sandwich from his mouth, saying, “James, I’m a journalist. Gossip is our lifeblood! You can’t take that away from me. It’s worse than killing
me!”
When James picked up a nearby baseball bat, Angelo quickly changed his tune: “Er… no need to kill me, I’ll try to talk less… much less…”
Angelo silently closed his mouth.
James spoke indifferently, “Focus on your studies. I’m heading out.”
“Where are you going?”
“Don’t ask what you
shouldn’t.”
“Hey! You’re leaving? Really leaving?”
Angelo peered out of the study, making sure James had really left before he allowed himself a sneaky smile.
Great! Now that James was gone, he didn’t need to hit the books!
Humming a tune, Angelo sat in front of his computer, muttering to himself, “I do wonder how beautiful Nichole is, and Sophie too. To catch Colby’s eye, she must be a stunner!”
As Angelo searched online while munching on his sandwich, Nichole’s picture popped up on Wikipedia.
Angelo’s expression was indescribable: “Hm… Hm… What’s up with James‘ taste? She’s not exactly a knockout.”
At best, she was a cute girl–next–door type, barely noticeable in a crowd

Soon, Angelo clicked on Sophie’s Wikipedia page.
The moment he saw the photo, Angelo was stunned. He clicked on the photo repeatedly, zooming in and out several times before coming to a realization: “How could it be her?!”
During his time in Devonport, that woman who had caused a scene in his office, even paying to have him “taken care of.”
Did she ever introduce herself?
No, right?
Angelo scratched his head, struggling to remember.
All he recalled was Sophie smashing his phone, shocking him for real.
So she was the ex–wife James couldn’t stop thinking or talking about? small world after all!
Geez, it’s such a
Better post this on social media!
Angelo quickly pulled out his phone, opened up Facebook, and after a flurry of movements swift as a tiger, he posted a bombshell status: Shocking! My teacher’s ex–wife once offered me 5 million dollars for companionship!
