Chapter 1173
Lola gave a bark of laughter. “Hurry up and leave. Did you think I’m unaware of your intentions?” Aftersaying that, she went into the house and slammed the door shut. Then, she exhaled before lifting herhands to her face and patting her cheeks a few times. I was really feeling shy earlier. I’ve tried my bestto suppress it and face him coolly, but I wonder whether it seemed natural.
She slumped against the door. A while later, she pulled open the door and peered out. He has left.Breathing a sigh of relief, she closed the door and went back to her room. After mulling it over, shewent over to the window and looked down. All at once, she spotted his car downstairs. This guy hasn’tleft yet! Then, she quickly shrunk back and drew the curtains.
However, before a second had even passed, a call came in from Logan. Gripping her cell phone in herhand, she hesitated for a long time before answering the call. On the other end, Logan snickered.“You’re reluctant to let me go? You must be looking at me beside the window earlier, no?”
Lola instantly snorted. “Don’t be so shameless! I was just looking at the weather to see whether it’ll raintomorrow.”
Logan sighed softly. “If you say so. You must be tired today, so rest earlier. Also, remember to drinkmore water. No matter how much juice you drank today, you still drank something detrimental to health,so drink more water to flush it out.”
Murmuring an assent, Lola whispered, “You, too.” The phone call then ended here.
After hanging up the phone, Logan drove away.
The next day, Sophia only woke up when it was almost noon. Opening her eyes, she was greeted bythe sight of John sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at his cell phone. Stunned, she scooted overand hugged him around the waist. “It’s not a holiday today, so why didn’t you go to work?”
John looked at her thoughtfully. “I’m almost done with my work in the office, so I decided to stay homein the morning. I’ll be all yours after going over in the afternoon to hand my work to someone else.”
Chuckling softly, Sophia nestled into his embrace. “Are you looking at the news reports about theBaileys?”
John answered in the affirmative before telling her about the news report he was currently reading. Thenews mainly spoke of Elder Mr. Bailey hiring people to kidnap Sophia, linking this to John calling off hiswedding to Isabelle in the past, so he was claiming that it was revenge. For now, they hadn’t mentionedthe Bailey Family’s involvement in the shadow bank, so they were probably planning to expose thingsone after another. novelbin
Closing her eyes, Sophia laughed maniacally. “Ah, how I wish to see that old geezer! I wonder howhe’s doing now.”
Beside her, John commented, “He’s up in years, so I don’t think he’ll get a heavy sentence.”
True. Only then did Sophia realize that. I wonder if that old geezer dared to do as he pleased becausehe’s old and has a foot in the grave. However, something else then occurred to her. “It’s okay since he’sold. He has a son, no? His son can be sentenced, and the entire Bailey Family will then collapse.”
Lifting a hand, John caressed her head and guffawed out loud. I just love this vengeful attitude of hers!
“Will Isabelle be implicated?” Sophia then muttered.
Stroking her head, John chuckled upon hearing this question. “Don’t worry. I’ve already greased somepalms, so she won’t be incriminated in this matter. She’ll remain blameless.”
Sophia murmured in acknowledgment. “That’s good.”
After thinking for a moment, John added, “I saw the message she sent me this morning. She seems tohave rendezvoused with her mother, so they’ll probably settle down over there.”
