Chapter 431

Most of the tables still had food on them while the occupants chattered away gleefully. Of the guests
who attended, most of them had prominent statuses. They were people who liked to expand their social
network. It was also easier to strike a business deal when both parties were drinking, so the guests
were beginning to engage in conversations that were customary during such occasions.

Sophia disliked such occasions, as she had a feeling that everybody had their own agenda no matter
what they said or did, so she agreed to John’s suggestion with a nod. “Let’s go, since I am full anyway.”

With that, John stood to help Sophia up from her seat as the gown she wore was a little too long for
ease of movement. After she stood up, John held onto her hand. Sophia was so focused on not
stepping on the hem of her gown that she didn’t notice that it was John who helped her up, nor did she
realize that John was holding her hand.

It wasn’t until she was a few steps away from the table that she realized that something was off. Thus,
she quickly retracted her hand while her eyes widened, all the while wearing a frown on her face. Her
expression was sullen as she glanced at John, while her tone was one of seriousness when she issued
a warning. “You’d better keep your hands to yourself, John. Don’t you dare pull any tricks on me.”

John’s face betrayed no emotion when he said, “I’m not pulling any tricks. All I did was support you so
that you won’t accidentally fall over.”

Meanwhile, Isabelle could see the look on his face from behind. Although his face betrayed no emotion,
there was a cheerful glint in his eyes. However, Sophia wasn’t as observant as Isabelle, so she merely
shot John a glare before leaving for their next destination.

There was a rather large tea room in the yard, which was unoccupied. There was a waiter stationed



there, who led them to their seats as soon as they walked up to him. Then, the waiter inquired about
the tea that they would like.

Sophia knew nothing about tea, but she said after some thought, “I would like some rose tea.”

“Same as her,” said Logan.

John made his own decision without even consulting Isabelle. “We’ll all have the same.”

After taking their orders, the waiter left swiftly, while Sophia stretched herself out in her seat before
telling Logan, “I find the banquet extremely boring.”

There was a smile on John’s face when he took over the conversation. “The reason that you’re bored is
because you don’t have much to gain from it. However, a lot of the other guests perceive it as a rare
opportunity that they would treasure.”

John was referring to those who were drinking back there, as they could meet up with people whom
they wouldn’t normally meet if not for the occasion, so the banquet was actually a platform for them to
facilitate multiple business collaborations.

Upon listening to what he said, Sophia cast John a side glance before asking, “Why didn’t you stay
behind?”

Isabelle glanced at him too, as she thought it would be more beneficial for John if he stayed back. His
company had a wide range of business dealings, so a wide connection would be beneficial to them.
Not only was the banquet the best chance to expand his network, it was also the easiest way to do so.



Meanwhile, John stared at Sophia before saying, “Why should I stay there if you’re here?”

Sophia let out a snort, as if she was already used to his antics. She even clicked her tongue while
thinking, He sure is a douche. He used to think that I was annoying when I used to cater to him, but
now that I’m gone, he has a hard time adjusting to his new life.

On the other hand, Logan gave a more pronounced reaction. “What do you mean by that? Don’t you
trust me?”

All John did was stare at Sophia without even answering Logan’s question, while Isabelle looked away,
her lips pursed, as she wasn’t sure how she should react.
