Female Novel
Chapter 1054
After hearing that news, Sophia felt relieved for Ian, knowing that he would be able to free himself fromthe Morgan Family’s clutches once he got off to a good start in his career. Soon, she was reminded of afew others in the Morgan Family, so she gazed at Logan and asked, “What about the other few of themin the Morgan Family? Do you have any news about them?” novelbin
That’s a good question. I almost forgot about Ian, let alone those few others from the Morgan Family.Logan shook his head. “Nope, not much. While Sally is going to be free again, the last time I heardabout Simon was that he got locked away by Bryce as punishment. Anyway, that brat needs to learnhis lesson, or he is going to go around wreaking havoc when he gets older.”
Sophia responded with an affirmative grunt and a nod. “It looks like life hasn’t been easy for theMorgan Family as well.”
Logan then turned around and gazed at Lola. “Tell your friends in high places to investigate the MorganGroup. I’m totally sure that something is off about that company. After all, nobody’s hands are clean inthere.”
Lola looked at Logan in a disgusted manner. “Worry about yourself, dude! If I were you, I’d clean up allthe mess my club leaves behind first.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia couldn’t help but laugh at Logan, amused at the fact that no one else hadever rendered Logan speechless in an exchange of repartee besides herself. In the meantime, Johnseemed to be laughing as well while shaking his head helplessly. “Come on! Logan, you rarely give inso easily.”
Logan stretched his neck and said, “I’m just holding back because I don’t want to stoop her level, man!If I lose my cool, things are going to turn ugly. By then, she is going to be scared to death.”
Lola sneered and mocked him. “Oh yeah? Come on! I dare you! Scare me to death right now!”
While Sophia couldn’t help laughing in amusement, Jasmine appeared rather indifferent. There seemsnothing wrong between Logan and Lola, but why do I have a strange feeling that there is more thanmeets the eye? After glancing across everyone, Jasmine’s eyes eventually fell upon Lola as she sizedher up.
As Sophia talked with Lola, she noticed Jasmine’s probing eyes. At that moment, she paused andasked, “What’s wrong, Miss Xanthos? You don’t like the food?”
Soon, Lola turned her attention to Jasmine as well. “If you’d like to eat something else, you can alwaysorder again.” In fact, Lola was rather insensitive toward such tiny matters regarding relationships sinceshe had been dealing with criminals, suspects and victims for most parts of her life. Nonetheless, shehad been watching every word that came out of her mouth ever since Logan said those words.Therefore, she tried to express her disgust toward Logan so that Jasmine wouldn’t misunderstand theirrelationship.
Jasmine smiled in embarrassment. “Oh, the dishes are great. It’s just that I had a hefty breakfast thismorning, so I’m not really hungry right now.”
Without reading too much into her words, Logan echoed Jasmine’s words and replied, “Come on! Sheis a grown adult, so quit worrying about her. Something must be wrong with her if a grown woman can’ttake care of herself.”
Sophia was helpless upon hearing Logan’s reply. Oh jeez! How could he say that?! I guess Loganshould stay single for his whole life so that no other innocent ladies would suffer from hisblockheadedness.
Jasmine pursed her lips, nodding with a wooden look on her face. “Yeah, I’m good. I can managemyself. Don’t worry about me, guys!”
