Chapter 1166
Then, he turned his attention to Elder Mr. Bailey and strode toward him. Raising his hand, he deliveredslap after slap on his face as he displayed his roguish attitude. “How dare you drug me, old man! Youmust be tired of living after living for so long!”
Next to them, John rubbed his nose and looked the other way; the scene was a little joyous to him.
Elder Mr. Bailey looked at Logan with daggers in his eyes, as he didn’t think that he would have zerorespect for him and act like a thug with him.
Spitting on the floor, Logan scowled, “What are you glaring at, old man? Listen here, others might beafraid of you, but not me! Just you wait, damn old man.”
Unable to stand by and watch any longer, Lola nudged him and said, “Forget it, let the police herehandle this.”
Later, a few of the policemen came over and checked on her. “Are you alright?”
Smirking, she answered, “I’m alright, actually.”
The police nodded. “You made another merit again.”
It was obvious that this was one of her old colleagues, and his face turned grim when he faced ElderMr. Bailey.
Neither humble nor pushy, Elder Mr. Bailey stood with his back stick straight. Actually, he did have
some regrets at this point, but not for anything he planned for today. Rather, he regretted letting Old Mr.Bailey in charge of some details.
If he had personally arranged everything himself, the situation wouldn’t have turned out as it did now.Take the four bodyguards who were beaten to the ground, for instance. They were obviously not cut outfor the job and didn’t even do that much before they were trashed.
What a bunch of good-for-nothing, he lamented. novelbin
It seemed like his son had simply grabbed four men from the streets and was too simple-minded,thinking that he wouldn’t be implicated if he had hired temporary help from the outside and if thingsturned sour.
However, he didn’t consider that if things crashed and burned with these four men, the entire BaileyFamily would also be thrown under the bus.
In addition, when Lola was kidnapped from their residence, he had wanted to take a look at thesituation. If he had taken a look at that point, he would have noticed that John had swapped awaySophia in the dark.
As it turned out, Old Mr. Bailey was overconfident in his abilities and told him that there was no need tocheck it out because his subordinates had taken care of it appropriately. Moreover, John had his eyeson both of them, and it would rouse his attention if one of them were to leave the scene.
In the end, he trusted him and went along with everything he said.
Letting out a deep, long sigh, he deplored silently, I have to admit that I’m old and getting tired. If thishappened when I was a young man…
And now, John had resolved everything like a piece of cake, and it left Elder Mr. Bailey feeling like hehad given him a tight slap across his face. For the most part of his life, he had braved through storms,and he was unwilling to accept that he was defeated by this incident.
In the meantime, Sophia was seated in the car for a long while before seeing people buzzing out of thedilapidated farmhouse.
The first to be brought out was Elder Mr. Bailey, of course, and he walked with his usual air ofarrogance about him, as though he was a supervisor coming to make the rounds.
This old man is still not forgetting his pride even at this time.
Sophia got out of the car and scanned at the back of the crowd to find John, Logan, and Lola. Runningtoward them, she asked, “Are you okay? Is everyone alright?”
Taking her into his embrace, John answered, “Yeah, we’re all fine.”
With an arm around Lola, Logan added, “We’re fine as well.”
