Female Novel
Chapter 349
Sighing soundlessly, John retracted his gaze. Isabelle, on the other hand, pursed her lips, swallowingthe words she initially wanted to say.
When the Baileys’ car had driven off, William and John headed back to the office. While walking,William said, “See whether there’s room for discussion with Sophia. It’s originally nothing too difficult,but your mother went over and assaulted her, aggravating the entire matter.” I wonder whether Sophiawill be averse to this mess after the episode earlier. If so, it won’t be an easy task to ask for her helpanymore.
Only when the two of them had entered the elevator did John reply, “I’ll talk to her later. She’s actuallyquite a reasonable person.”
William murmured an acknowledgment. Subsequently, he ordered in mild exasperation, “Don’tentertain your mother for the time being. Her attitude truly needs to be tempered. We’ve been tooindulgent with her all these years that she hasn’t grown at all, her brains regressing from day to day.”John merely stared at the electronic screen in the elevator, watching as the numbers went up. Hisbrows slowly creased, yet he said nothing, seemingly agreeing with William.
Meanwhile, Sophia lay on the bed and slept before she was groggily awakened by Logan’s phone call.She fumbled for her cell phone and glanced at the caller ID. Only when she’d ascertained that it wassomeone she knew did she answer the call. “Logan.”
“Are you awake? Where are you? Why don’t you come over to my place?” Logan was probably bored.
Sophia flipped over. “Nope, I want to sleep at home.”
At this, Logan smacked his lips. “I just knew that you’d say this. Don’t sleep anymore. Here, I’ll tell yousomething interesting.”
Sophia blinked. “Something interesting? What else could be more interesting than my issue now?”
Exclaiming in protest, Logan countered, “I’m serious. I’m not lying to you. Let me tell you, it hassomething to do with the Morgan siblings.”
Stunned, Sophia slowly sat up. “Simon and Sally Morgan?”
“Yup.” Enthusiasm flooded Logan. “Remember that you were once injured at Morgan Residence? Yourman…” He abruptly stopped, knowing that he’d misspoken. Chuckling dryly, he hurriedly changed histune. “I mean, your ex-husband, John. Perhaps he wanted to avenge you, so he had someoneinvestigate Simon and Sally Morgan. These two rat b*stards want to secure Morgan Group, so theyhad under-the-table dealings with the company’s senior management, offering and accepting bribes.Well, you know what I mean. Besides, they even made several personal investments outside in thecompany’s name. The loss was borne by the company, while the gain went into their pockets. Say,shouldn’t such heinous creatures be persecuted?”
After a moment’s deliberation, Sophia asked, “John had someone investigate this?” novelbin
After a moment’s deliberation, Sophia asked, “John had someone investigate this?”
Logan sighed. “Yes, it was John. I think he was angry that Sally Morgan injured you that day, so hewanted to avenge you. However, it’s now inconvenient for him to act personally since he’s plagued withproblems, so he handed the evidence to me. Actually, it makes no difference if I act. Since you’re nowscandal-ridden, it’ll be bad to drag you into this matter, so I’ll just teach these two reprobates a lesson
on the pretext of helping Ian out.”
Sophia mulled it over for a while. “But how is it possible that the Morgans are unaware of Simon andSally Morgan’s illicit dealings? They should be aware, no?” Putting aside the issue of whether BryceMorgan and Leah Zimmerman know about this, Sean Morgan couldn’t possibly have missed it. Nowthat the company is in his hands, it’s impossible that he didn’t notice them doing such a thing rightunder his nose.
Logan snorted. “Sean Morgan is probably aware of it, but he doesn’t want to expose it himself. He’sactually very smart. While he dislikes Leah Zimmerman, he’s avoiding having a head-on confrontationwith those three people.”
