Chapter 1159
Frowning, Sophia intended to take a good look at the two men but didn’t have any luck as the car droveoff all the way from the residence. novelbin
Staring at the car, Sophia saw it drove off without a trace.
With her head lowered, she glanced at her phone and had a gut feeling that something was just notright. A moment later, Sophia played her hunch and called up Logan.
Strangely, the phone just kept ringing until the line was cut off in the end.
With her gut instincts intensified, Sophia called up Logan once more. Even so, no one picked up.Absorbed in her thoughts, Sophia felt it in her bones that something bad must have happened.
Without delaying further, she called up John.
Immediately, John picked up her call and sounded serious. “Sophia? What’s the matter?”
Attempting to not sound so panicky, Sophia said, “John, please go and check on Logan. I have calledhim several times, but he didn’t pick up. Something tells me there must be something wrong.”
Upon hearing that, John understood the situation and hung up the phone at once.
As John was surrounded by quite a crowd, he tried hard to maintain a calm expression on his face.“Pardon me. My wife just called and has asked for me.”
Everyone was aware that Sophia was now pregnant, thus would undoubtedly prioritize a pregnant
woman’s request.
Roaring with laughter, one of them said, “Very well. You’d better get going, then, and let’s continue afteryou’re done. Seriously, it was great chatting with you. Us seniors have indeed learned a great dealabout managing business from you youngsters.”
Smiling, John walked toward the main building right away.
He had been keeping a close watch over Elder Mr. Bailey and Old Mr. Bailey—both of them hadremained in the garden and never left.
On top of that, John didn’t notice anyone who was suspicious approaching them, as they had beenchattering about with all the guests.
Rushing up the stairs, John dashed toward the room which Logan was in.
After knocking on the door for quite a while, no one came to open the door.
With his eyebrows knitted together, John took out his phone and called up Logan.
Standing by the door, John could hear Logan’s phone ringing from the inside of the room, and yet, noone answered the phone.
Feeling a thump in his chest, John knew something was not right; everything was just too strange.
With that, John called up Isabelle, but as expected, she didn’t pick up.
Not giving up, John called another time, but the line was still not connected. Clearly, Isabelle wasavoiding him on purpose.
Fine, so be it!
At that, John didn’t even bother to look for the Baileys but lifted his foot and aimed a strong kick at thedoor instead.
After the first two attempts, the door still remained in place, but on the third attempt, a loud cracksounded. Somewhere near the door knob was split apart, and the door was opened.
Walking into the room, John saw Logan lying on the couch, and there was no one else in the room buthim.
Grabbing onto Logan by his shirt, John pulled him up in a sitting position and cried, “Logan! Wake up!Wake up now!”
Seeing that Logan didn’t react, John turned around and noticed the two cups on the coffee table.
At this moment, he could clearly tell what had happened.
Picking up his phone, John intended to call for the cops.
However, the moment John heard a sound coming from the door, he hung up instantly. When a suddenthought crossed his mind, he called up another number and deliberately left his phone aside.
Turning toward the door, he saw Elder Mr. Bailey walking in.
