Standing at the top of the staircase, John thought for a while but decided to return to his room in the
end while Sophia remained on the couch. However, the more she laughed, the harder it was to
continue, and she finally stopped.
What’s so funny? It’s not funny at all, she thought as she leaned into the couch and let out a sigh with a
blank look on her face.
If the news was released by someone from the Constance Residence, then I have an idea who it might
be. From the way John reacted earlier, it seems as though he didn’t know about this. It’s as good as
announcing it to the world if Mrs. Constance gets her hands on something like this. It looks like our
divorce is destined to be announced publicly soon. That’s nice. I’ll finally live a peaceful life.
Not knowing what the TV show was about, she watched it for a little longer with disinterest and finally
turned it off when she couldn’t stand it anymore. Just as she switched off the TV, John came rushing
down the staircase, bolted out the door and drove off without even glancing at her once.
Barely a few seconds passed and he was already out the door. Raising an eyebrow, she wondered out
loud, “Did he have an argument with his parents?”
That doesn’t seem to be the case because he appeared to be dashing off in a rush rather than in anger
after an argument. She brooded over it for a long while on the same spot but couldn’t come to a
conclusion. At last, she decided to go upstairs and rest for the night.
No matter what they chose to do about this matter, it wouldn’t involve her since she was the most
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpitiable person in the whole incident.
While Sophia lay in bed, John was driving at a high speed after he received a call from the Constance
Residence, saying that Mrs. Constance was making a scene at home and even threatening to take her
own life.
It was actually Old Mrs. Constance who had made the call, sounding completely helpless. She was
also hopping mad when she found out that Mrs. Constance had secretly taken pictures of John’s
divorce certificate.
According to her, when William questioned her about it, she didn’t feel that she had done anything
wrong and even told him frankly that she had sent the pictures to the media and the Baileys. Soon, the
news would be reported and then Isabelle and John could be together.
This moment was probably when William realized that Mrs. Constance was actually a huge blockhead
who had no ability to think at all.
Overwhelmed with anger, William lost control and slapped her. Having been married for almost thirty
years, William had never even spoken to her harshly before, let alone laying a finger on her.
Coupled with the fact that Mrs. Constance had been spoiled for decades, it was only natural that she
couldn’t accept being slapped and immediately made a huge scene.
From upstairs all the way to downstairs, she kept saying that she wanted to end her life. Already fed up
and frustrated with her recently, Old Mrs. Constance didn’t really want to deal with her while William
remained upstairs as he was still mad at her.
All alone downstairs, Mrs. Constance stomped and jumped around in an attempt to make a scene and
Old Mrs. Constance finally called John for help because she saw no end to her tantrum and found her
to be a bother. Both she and William really wanted to wash their hands of her this time.
After John learned of the situation, he felt helpless as well because he knew how unreasonable his
mother could get.
Before this, Mrs. Constance was afraid of Old Mr. Constance and even when she squabbled with
William, she wouldn’t dare to make a big deal out of it. After all, Old Mr. Constance was a retired soldier
and carried a valorous air which naturally daunted her.
But now that he was no longer around, nobody could control her and she didn’t care to stop.
Since it was night time, there weren’t many cars on the road so he was able to reach Constance
Residence quite quickly. Before he even went through the door, he could already hear Mrs.
Constance’s cries in the living room saying that what she had done was for the family’s sake, but
nobody understood her.
Stepping in slowly, John then stood in the doorway indifferently.
