Chapter 235
After Calla left, James asked in a low voice, “You’re not angry at all?”
“I’m not angry.” Sophie said, “I’m not a fool. She spilled that tea on you on purpose. Why should I be angry?”
She had seen it clearly when they entered; James was resisting contact with Calla, and it was Calla who forced herself on him.
“I’ve prepared some hot water for you to shower.”
“Okay.”
Sophie went upstairs, slightly relieved when she saw that James didn’t follow her.
On her phone, Jenna sent a message.
Jenna: You haven’t come back for two days!]
Sophie: [James‘ grandmother moved in with us. I won’t be able to return for a while.]
Jenna: [I’m so bored.]
Sophie: [Go find Adler.]
Jenna: [Adler went abroad with Colby on business! Otherwise, I wouldn’t be this bored!]
Sophie’s fingers paused on her phone.
Colby went abroad?
She hesitated for a moment, then opened her and Colby’s chat.
Colby didn’t seem to like using this app much, nor was he fond of smartphones in general. To date, their chat history was brief.
Colby hadn’t mentioned a word about going abroad to her.
Well, thinking about it, whenever Colby went out on business, he never mentioned it to her. He always appeared and disappeared unpredictably.
“And he said he liked me and wanted to pursue me, then he just vanished…”
Sophie murmured. She must be crazy to have believed Colby’s words about pursuing her.
Sophie submerged her head in water, forcing herself to calm down. Right now, the most important thing wasn’t considering whether Colby truly liked her or not, but how she would divorce James while ensuring the interests of the Russell family.
The next day, the headlines exploded with news.
The first piece of news was about the popular artist Reece, who was seen entering a restaurant with a mysterious woman, and the second revealed the mysterious woman to be Reece’s female boss!
The comments section was ablaze with criticism.
[I knew it! How did Reece get so many resources? Turns out he’s clinging to a wealthy woman!]
[My God, doesn’t this Sophie have a husband? What a mess this circle is.]
[She was betrayed by her husband, and now she’s lonely and cold. Leave my Reece alone!]
At that moment, Sophie rubbed her temples wearily after seeing these two pieces of news.
Despite all precautions, they still couldn’t prevent the paparazzi from taking secret photos.
Outside the door, Calla knocked. “Ma’am, Grandma Bea is asking for you downstairs.”
“Okay.”
