Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 812

Unwilling to give up, with her arms akimbo, the woman remained on the spot and muttered, "I can't believe she's moved out. What a heartless b*tch."

The young girl turned to her. "Can we go now? This is very embarrassing."

"There's nothing to feel embarrassed about. When I get enough money from your sister, you'll enjoy a great life and understand I'm doing this for your own good."

Since Sophia did not live here anymore, it was pointless for the woman to keep waiting. Therefore, she grabbed her luggage and left.

All the while, the young girl kept a distance from her, apparently unwilling to be seen close to her.

As the woman was walking, she mumbled, "I must have been blind to have fallen in love with your useless dad. He just wants me to do all the work. If he had tagged along, we wouldn't have to be so taxed out. What a b*stard! When I have enough money, I'll dump him immediately!"

Ignoring her mother, the young girl slowly walked out of the residential area. However, they had nowhere to go. Standing on the main road where the traffic was heavy, they seemed to be mismatched with the city.

A moment later, the young girl walked up to her mother and said, "Mom, since we can't replace her, we should just go home. We don't even have a place to stay here."

The woman put down her luggage and said through gritted teeth, "I'm not going home. Go back on your own if you want to. I will never leave this place before getting money from your sister!"

When John came home from work but didn't see Matilda, he was startled. William hadn't come home because he had attended a social gathering. Meanwhile, Sophia was lying on the bed and looking at her phone in the bedroom.

John pushed open the door and took off his jacket. "Where's my mom?"

Without turning to him, Sophia replied, "Her family members don't think it's appropriate for her to stay here, so they've asked her to go home."

John froze, as he never thought about it before. After thinking for a bit, he found that his mother's family members had a point. Nodding, he said, "I wonder how my dad will react when he comes home and replaces out about it."

Sophia pursed her lips. "I'm looking forward to his reaction as well."

After John got changed into casual clothes, his phone on the bed started ringing. Since he was already seated on the bed, he picked up the phone and answered the call. As the person on the phone was speaking in a low voice, Sophia couldn't hear what the person was saying. A short moment later, John rose and demanded, "Wait a minute. Will you speak slower?" As he was speaking, he left the room.

Sophia was surprised and turned to look at him. Who is on the phone? Why did he have to go out? After staring at the doorway for a moment, Sophia retracted her gaze, for she was no longer curious about John's secretive behavior.

Standing in the corridor, John scowled as he listened to what his subordinate said and replied, "Alright. Just settle this matter directly. You know what to do, right?"

Surprised, the subordinate paused for a moment and inquired, "Aren't you and your wife going to face her?"

John snorted. "There's no need for us to meet her because she has nothing to do with us."

After a short period of deliberation, the subordinate said, "Got it."

John reminded him. "Don't be too harsh on her. Just try to chase her away."

The subordinate grunted in agreement and hung up the call.

With a darkened expression, John turned to look at the door of the bedroom for a moment before going downstairs. He thought that after he taught Walter a lesson, the latter would go back to discipline his former wife. To his surprise, however, Sophia's mother valued money more than her own life.

When he was done with smoking a cigarette, Old Mrs. Constance told him that dinner was ready.
