Pursing her lips, Sophia pondered for a moment. “What do you think I should say? The public opinion is going rather strongly, so I’m afraid that they’ll turn their sights on me when I speak up.”
After some contemplation, Ian suggested, “Why don’t you ask Lorraine? She probably knows what to say to make an airtight statement.”
Upon hearing this, Logan instantly nodded. “Wait a moment. I’ll give Lorraine a call and ask about it.” After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called Lorraine before placing it on the table on speakerphone.
Lorraine seemed to be rather swamped since they could hear someone else speaking in the background. Logan was extremely courteous while speaking to his sister, smiling as he asked, “Are you free now, Lorraine? I’ve got a question for you.”
On the contrary, Lorraine was very impatient with him, snapping, “Hold it until I’m done with work.” After saying that, she hung up right away.
A tad embarrassed, Logan chuckled dryly as he looked up at Ian and Sophia. “Lorraine is busy. She’s always busy, so it’s already a miracle that she answered my call.” Sophia and Ian shared a look, then lowered their heads and ate. Subsequently, Logan put away his cell phone awkwardly.
No one spoke during the rest of the meal. When they were done eating, Logan promptly cleared the table. Meanwhile, Sophia went over to the sofa and plopped down. Turning on the television, she then chortled. “Let me tell you guys something. I came to blows with Matilda today.”

Logan who was placing the tableware into the dishwasher in the kitchen rushed out upon hearing this. “Who did you come to blows with? Did you win or lose? And Matilda? Who’s Matilda?”
Sophia turned and stared at him. “John’s mother.”
It wasn’t only Logan, but Ian was also stunned now. Both of them walked over to the sofa. “Are you hurt, then?” Ian looked her up and down.
Sophia waved a dismissive hand. “I just lost a few strands of hair, but I’m otherwise fine. Matilda, on the other hand, got a slap and a few kicks from me.”
“You did quite a great job!” Logan exclaimed. He then came over and sat down on the sofa before starting mysteriously, “I heard quite a few things about John’s mother, and that woman is actually not one to be trifled with.”
Sophia arched an eyebrow. “What did you hear about his mother?”
After deliberating for a moment, Logan replied, “It’s said that like John, his father was initially engaged to someone else, but the girl’s family later went back on their word, and the girl got together with someone else. Thus, his father had a blind date with his mother, and they got together.” He then smacked his lips. “It seems that when John was in his teenage years, the woman with whom his father was initially engaged got divorced. I’ve never asked about the specific reason, but that woman suddenly realized John’s father’s goodness after so many years and came back to look for him. She knew full well that he has a family, yet she still came on to him.”
Ian came over as well and plopped down on the other side of Sophia. The gap between them was negligible, so much so that Sophia’s nosy profile was reflected in Ian’s eyes. Ian then subconsciously leaned close to Sophia, likewise appearing all intrigued. The two of them were very

close; Sophia was turned sideways, her back to Ian, so it appeared as though she was nestled in his embrace from a certain angle. Sophia, however, didn’t notice all that, her attention on Logan’s words.
Logan didn’t pay any attention to Ian either, continuing surreptitiously, “It isn’t certain whether John’s father didn’t realize the woman’s intentions or he still had feelings for her, but he went out with her a few times. Soon, John’s mother found out about this and went to the woman’s parents’ house, cursing and smashing things.”
