The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1803

Chapter 1803 Unjustified Hostility

The girl came to a stop in front of Cindy. “I know who you are. I saw the news.”

Oh, have you now? Cindy was not intimidated at all as she raised a brow and asked, “And?”

Pursing her lips, the girl pointed out snidely, “Stay away from Peter if you don’t want your reputation to take an even harder hit, or I’ll start calling you out on social media, too.”

Cindy sputtered. “Please, go right ahead. I’d like to see what you’ll have to write about me.” She knew that the girl was only trying to scare her; scandalous material aside, the girl’s empty allegations against Cindy might only end up ruining Peter’s good name and she surely wouldn’t dare to take the risk.

Presently, the girl fell into a glum silence when she heard Cindy’s challenging tone. She was obviously here to warn Cindy off, but she had no real ammunition.

Cindy added forthrightly as she changed the topic, “I saw you and Peter arguing the last time I went for a walk. What, did he turn you down or something?”

The girl was affronted and outraged, and her eyes widened as she spat, “Stay out of my business! Even if I was turned down, it doesn’t mean you are able to have your eyes on Peter. You already have a boyfriend!”

A smirk played on Cindy’s lips as she eyed the girl mockingly. It was infuriating, and the girl took this in while gritting her teeth. After a while, Cindy chuckled and said, “Well, you’re right about the boyfriend part, so take it easy. If you know about my having a boyfriend, then you’d definitely know who he is.”

She was trying to be tactful. In choosing a romantic partner, any woman could tell who the obvious choice was between Ian and Peter. It was unlikely that Cindy would ever betray him for Peter.

Unless, of course, she was one of those women who were blind and stupid.

However, the girl did not seem to understand the subtext in Cindy’s statement, but she somehow picked up on the fact that there truly was nothing going on between her and Peter.

Peter had always told her that he only saw Cindy as a friend, but she never believed him. As far as she was concerned, he was a top-quality piece of real estate, and Cindy would be crazy not to like him.

Meanwhile, when Cindy saw that the girl had a defeated attitude, she lost interest too. She turned away and said in a clipped tone, “If there’s nothing else you have to say, I’ll leave.”

The girl paused in thought before her line of vision trailed over to Aurora. “Is that your mother?”

Cindy didn’t try to deny this as she asked coolly, “Do you think we look alike?”

Unsure as to whether there was any resemblance at all between Cindy and Aurora, the girl kept mum in hesitation.

Cindy smiled, but there was a dark undertone to her voice as she warned, “Don’t even think about looking into the people around me, you hear me? If you’ve done your research on us, you would know how easy it will be for us to crush you.”

The girl and Peter were only ordinary folks, which meant they weren’t even playing in the same league as Cindy and Ian.

Naturally, the girl understood this, and she did not make an effort to retort as her lips pressed into a grim line.
