Female Novel
Chapter 1607
Logan was aware of Lola’s flaws, but he played along by showing support for her. “I’m sure you’ll winafter this round. Don’t worry! We can take our time.”
Sophia crossed her arms and stood by the door while she watched Logan cheering for Lola like a loyaldog. Although she was used to it, Sophia shook her head as she watched them. Love is a silent killerindeed. Logan no longer has the aura he once had—he doesn’t even dare to raise his voice in front ofLola nowadays.
Lola was just starting to get into the game. Being the newbie that she was, she placed her full focus onthe game, and she didn’t realize the two figures standing by the door. The four people at the table didn’trealize their presence even after Sophia stood around for a long while. She had no choice but to walkover eventually. “How much have you won, boss?”
Logan raised his head and began to chuckle once he saw Sophia. “I’m about to lose my wholeclubhouse.”
Lola seemed rather embarrassed by his comment. “It’s largely because I don’t know how to play thegame. I haven’t won a single round so far.”
The dealers were pretty close to them, so they put on a helpless look as they took part in theconversation. “We’ve tried our best to let them win, but Mrs. Jefferson is just being too sweet to us.”
Both the dealers were sensitive and thoughtful enough to move aside since Sophia and John hadarrived. They emptied out spaces at the table so that Sophia and John could join in. Sophia wasn’t veryexperienced in poker, but she was better than Lola, at least. Both Sophia and John agreed to join the
game, and John started to shuffle the cards once they sat down.
They had a conversation over the game of poker. Logan told them that Ian’s plane would land at nightand that he was probably in a flight right then. Logan added that Ian had brought his mother along.
Sophia was rather surprised to hear this. “It seems like Ian must be pretty close to his mother if he’sbringing her along.”
Logan nodded. “She’s his mother, after all. Ian isn’t a heartless man. I heard that he has been livingwith his mother throughout this period, and I believe that relationships can be mended if you give ittime.”
“As long as he thinks that it’s worth it, I guess,” Sophia uttered with a nod. She recalled what she heardabout the situation with the Morgan Family right after that. “I heard that Old Mr. Morgan is getting reallyill. I doubt he’ll be able to survive his illness this time.”
Logan knew a little more about the news of Bryce’s illness. “I heard that Bryce’s family is willing to payany amount in order to keep him alive. Sean might seem like a rather cold guy, but I guess he’s stillpretty thoughtful in comparison to the other two b*stards. They just want the old man to die so that theycan get their share of the money.”
“But for a family and a corporation as large as the Morgans, I’m sure Bryce would’ve prepared a willbeforehand, right?” Sophia asked curiously.
Logan nodded. “He has a will, but I’m not sure what he wrote in it. The old man never liked Ian, so Idon’t think he’d leave much for him. It’s good that Ian developed his own career pathway—at least hewouldn’t have to depend on his father.”
John wore a smirk on his lips, but he waited for Logan and Sophia to finish speaking before he spoke.“Bryce’s hospitalization was rather sudden. I think there’s something about it that doesn’t make muchsense.”
Sophia and Logan didn’t think much about John’s comment. “That old man has done too many badthings in the past. Karma’s back for him, I guess,” Logan uttered.
John smiled once more. “The Morgans have their own family doctor. Do you think the family doctor’sjust there for show?”
Sophia had been looking at her cards, but her actions came to a halt as she turned to stare at John.“What do you mean?” novelbin
“Play the game first,” John uttered as a reminder.
After Sophia made her move, John proceeded with his turn before he explained himself, “Don’t youthink that Bryce would use this opportunity to gain clarity over some things before he readjusts his willfor the children?”
Logan’s head shot up immediately. “Are you saying that Bryce is just faking his illness?” he asked ashe stared at John.
John raised an eyebrow. “It’s not impossible. I don’t think Bryce is the sort of person who’d let himselffall into such a passive and helpless position.”
John’s words made sense to them. Sophia shook her head exasperatedly. “Rich people are just too
cunning. I can’t believe they’re scheming against their own family members.”
Lola, on the other hand, was used to such matters. “It happens way more often than you’d think. One’svalues and morals can’t stand the test. I was involved in a good number of cases with rich families inthe past. These rich people are the ones who end up with the nastiest problems.”
