Female Novel
Chapter 1379
Logan pouted. “We can’t be intimate, yet I can’t even kiss you now?”
Lola thumped him. “Lower your voice.” After saying that, she glanced out. “Why is she here? What didyou all talk about earlier?”
Actually, we didn’t talk about anything of significance. Logan hesitated for a moment. ”I think sheprobably came over to worm her way into our good graces. After all, it was me who caused her son tolose his job, so she might be afraid that I’d continue manipulating things to make life difficult for him.”
Returning to the room, Lola lay down. “Who’d be so free to bother him if he didn’t make trouble in thefirst place?”
Logan trailed after her. “You’re right.”novelbin
A while later, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt came in as well. Mr. Hunt entered the house with a long face,muttering, “What the hell? Who did she think she was?”
Behind him, Mrs. Hunt stroked his back. “Ah, just don’t take offense at someone like her. You knowwhat their family is like, no? Just pretend as though you hadn’t heard the pile of drivel she blatheredthis time. It’s not worth it to be upset because of such a person.”
Lola wanted to go and inquire about the matter, but just as she was about to get up, Logan held herback down. “I’ll go and check on them.” Then, he exited the room. “What happened, Dad? What didshe say just now?”
Mr. Hunt stomped over to the chair at the side. “She’s just like a d*mn leech. Doesn’t she know to findthe fault from Shawn himself if he isn’t doing well in his work? But no, she’s adamant that someonemust be putting obstacles in his path!”
Logan’s brows knitted together. After that, Mr. Hunt continued, “Do you know why she came overearlier? Passing by, my foot! She heard that we came back, so she deliberately came to seek us out.Shawn went looking for a job some time ago, but no one wanted to employ him, and he was rejectedby several places. However, she didn’t consider the possibility of Shawn himself being less thancapable, or rather, his tarnished reputation being the reason. Instead, she pushed the blame on us,assuming that we’d manipulated things behind the scenes to ensure that he can’t find a job.”
All at once, Logan guffawed. I thought she came to put in a good word for Shawn and implore me toshow him mercy, but it turns out that I underthought it. She has already placed the blame on me. Hechuckled in exasperation. “I initially didn’t want to take things too far, but she came and asked for it.”
Mr. Hunt was also infuriated. “What bad luck that we bumped into her when we came back!”
“There’s no need to get up in arms with someone like her.” Logan tried to calm his father-in-law down.“We’ll just straighten her up.”
Considering Mr. Hunt’s temperament, he definitely would’ve said not to take things too far in the past,but this time, he didn’t utter a single objection despite understanding what Logan meant. It seemed thathe’d truly been vexed by that old woman.
After some time, Logan went out and made a phone call in the courtyard. He said a few words,whereupon the person on the other end vowed that he’d ensure the smooth execution of the matter. Atthis, Logan chuckled. “This person is rather easy to handle, so you don’t need to spend too much effort.
Just make sure that he can’t get a job.”
The person on the other end chortled as well. “I was thinking of having someone beat him up, but sinceyou said as much, Young Master Jefferson, I’ll do away with that.”
Logan grunted. “That coward isn’t worth you beating him up. He might pee his pants if you just threatenhim for a bit.”
They merely chatted for a bit before hanging up. When he was done, Logan pivoted and went back tothe house. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt had gone to rest since they’d be visiting Lola’s grandmother’s grave inthe afternoon, then making the return trip right away. Going back to Lola, Logan had just lay downwhen she flipped over and hugged him around the waist. “Who did you call just now?”
“A young lady. We talked about something private,” Logan said, trying to tease her.
Lola harrumphed. “Who else besides me would take an interest in you considering your attitude?”
As Logan caressed her hair, he murmured, “Jasmine Xanthos took an interest in me.”
At the mention of Jasmine, Lola stilled for a moment. “Her taste was bad in the past, but it’s now backto normal.”
