Chapter 426

After waiting for a while, Sophia asked in a subdued voice with much reluctance, “I know what’s going
on even if you didn’t tell me anything. Do you think you could hide the truth from me?”

John responded to her with a smile. “Let’s sit down over there.” Then, he made a gesture to loop his
hand around her shoulder. Despite its innocuous nature, people could read into it from multiple
perspectives because of John and Sophia’s relationship.

There were a lot of journalists present during Kate’s birthday party, as she used to be a famous actress
when she was young, but she had quit acting after that to focus on her family. Therefore, she intended
to revisit her younger years during her eightieth birthday, which was why a few media agencies were
invited to the occasion, who without a doubt had captured John and Sophia’s interaction on camera.

The both of them walked over before sitting down beside Logan and Isabelle on the sofa. There was
space between Logan and Isabelle, so Sophia sat down beside Logan, while John sat between her and
Isabelle.

It was in fact Isabelle’s intention to have the press witness the scene of the three of them sitting
together. Her reputation was at risk after what happened, so she hired a group of ghostwriters to clear
things up for her, but her plan seemed to have backfired on her, as the negative comments about her
only grew compared to the ghostwriter’s comments. The only way to go about it was to make use of the
news to clear her name. The sight of the three of them sitting together in harmony would definitely clear
things up in Isabelle’s favor.

After scanning her surroundings, Sophia asked, “What’s coming up next? Are we going to sit here till
nightfall?” If that was the case, she would rather go home.



It was John who answered her question while leaning closer toward Sophia. “The banquet will be
starting soon, followed by a lottery session. I heard that the prizes are lavish.”

Logan joined in on the conversation. “Even if the prizes are lavish, what the Blackwells are doing is
essentially handing out their money.”

John didn’t know what the prizes would be either. “I heard nothing of it, as they hid it well. Not even my
grandmother knew about it when I asked her.”

Logan smacked his lips before commenting, “The Blackwells sure know how to have fun by keeping
the presents a secret.”

John merely smiled in silence upon listening to what Logan said. In the meantime, Isabelle sat on the
other side of the sofa, seemingly being isolated from the three of them while they spoke among
themselves. However, she was good at suppressing herself, so her expression betrayed no emotions.

On the other hand, Logan began telling them about the gossip he heard of. According to rumors, Kate
Blackwell used to be hailed by many as a famous actress when she was young, but the members of
the prestigious Blackwell Family looked down on her due to her profession, so she quit being an
actress.

There were a lot of people who felt sorry that she had to quit, as they thought Kate would have attained
a certain level of fame if she were to keep on working as an actress. Upon listening to the story, Sophia
heaved a sigh. “She must love her husband a lot.” Sophia figured it must have been hard on Kate to
quit her job for the sake of her husband.



However, John had a different opinion on the matter. “That might not necessarily be the case. Her
husband, Nathan Blackwell, went on to marry a second wife who bore him a son.”

Sophia was startled by what John told her, but she quickly recalled that it was customary among
wealthy families to marry multiple women, which prompted her to backtrack on what she said. “So it
seems that wealthy men are all b*stards.”

Both Logan and John let out a cry of protest, to which Sophia responded with a glare before staring at
Logan. “You sure are one, seeing that Officer Hunt had carried out multiple police raids on your
clubhouse.” She then turned to look at John, who was staring at her closely. That seemed to have
affected her confidence, as her voice became softer. “You are the same.”
