The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 2097

Chapter 2097 Extortion

The man's true intentions were revealed at the end of the day, and they were nothing good.

Cindy found the man's request completely hilarious and absurd, and she sputtered before Aurora could even protest belligerently. The man must have extremely thick skin to be able to make such outrageous demands with a straight face.

Aurora was gritting her teeth as she snapped, "The nerve of you. We went Dutch for the most of our relationship, and you know as well as I do which person paid more than the other. Have you forgotten that I paid for the larger expenses as compared to the pittance you claim to have spent on me?"

The man could not argue with this, but he was determined to pin non-existent responsibilities on her anyway. "I don't care. I did spend money on you, and you're not short of money right now, are you? Give me some of it and I'll leave you alone. Heck, I'll even sign a note to promise to never show up in front of you ever again. If not, then you can bet that I'll come back again tomorrow if I don't get what I want today."

Ian crossed his arms as he stood to the side and let out a bark of incredulous laughter. He fished out his phone and drawled, "You know what? You can keep that bet to yourself. I'm calling the police to come and settle this. After all, a man like you will never appeal to sense and logic."


If there weren't others standing in the room with them at the moment, Ian would have punched the man. He wondered how Aurora could've dated a piece of trash like this man and how anyone could be so shameless as to make such ridiculous demands.

The man was not intimidated at all. In fact, he seemed to have come prepared as he squared his shoulders and challenged by saying, "Go ahead and call the police. If word of this breaks out, it won't be my reputation going down the drain; I'm just a commoner that no one knows, and image doesn't concern me at all. The both of you, on the other hand, might have a pretty hard time making a comeback if your reputation is trashed after this."

Cindy frowned when she heard this, and she glanced over at Ian for a brief second, only to see that he was looking at her too.

They exchanged a knowing look before breaking eye contact.

Ian said nothing, but he did not proceed to call the police either.

As though confident that he had the upper hand, the man told the security guards standing to the side, "We do not need your service here. Just go back to your booth and leave it to us to settle this matter."

The security guards wanted to grab him and drag him out the door, for they didn't seem too pleased by his demands either. However, Cindy quickly interjected and said, "I'm sorry for troubling you to come up here, but why don't you guys go back to the booth? We'll see if we can sort this out in private, and if there really is a need for your help, we'll give you a call." She then added, "If we can't settle this by the end of this evening, this guy will only come back tomorrow and make trouble for you again. We'll try our best to solve this and get him to leave us alone for good."
