Chapter 293: What if
They said that trying to reason with a woman when she's angry was the dumbest thing a man could do, but John couldn't help himself.
He had to argue with Sophia.
"According to you," John said, trying to keep his voice calm, "as long as Laura doesn't do anything too extreme, we do nothing? So, we just wait until she hurts my sister? What's the point of fighting back then?"
John wasn't one to be passive. In a crisis, he always took the initiative.
Only a coward would sit back and do nothing.
"No way!" Sophia snapped, not backing down. "Laura won't make that mistake. Even if she married into the Swift family, she wouldn't dare provoke my family. If she wanted to, she would have done it already."
To Sophia, as long as Laura stayed within the boundaries acceptable to the Long family, she was just another paparazzi, slandering and spinning rumors for attention. And Anita didn't care.
John was having none of it. "Just because Laura hasn't crossed the line yet doesn't mean she won't. She's a potential threat. She's been scheming for months but hasn't found anything sharp yet. What if she gets desperate one day? You're not Laura—how do you know what she's thinking?"
"There's no 'what if' in the world. No one is as stupid as you are!" Sophia shot back, her voice filled with frustration.
