Female Novel
Chapter 412
Sophia clicked her tongue while frowning, but quickly made sure to wipe it off her face. John sure is ashifty b*stard. He never would’ve said so in the past, as he used to be so calculating.
Having said so, John stared straight into Sophia’s eyes, which made her get goosebumps. He lookedconniving yet hesitant at the same time, but no matter the case, he surely wasn’t up to anything good.He let out a silent laugh before averting his gaze moments later. Truth be told, he wasn’t evenscheming on anything. Instead, he was doing it for fun.
Logan’s call came in after they spent some time in Sophia’s house, during which he scolded thatb*stard from the Poole Family for framing him. As soon as Sophia heard what Logan said, she asked,“Are you set free?”
“Of course! Lorraine came to bail me.” He sounded rather indignant. “Where are you? I’ll come look foryou now.”
With that, Sophia had him come to her place before hanging up, while John was sitting crossed-leggedwhen he spoke, “Lorraine sure is getting more and more capable.” She needed more time back then tobail Logan out.
A frown formed on Sophia’s face when she said, “You need to make a thorough investigation to check ifSimon and Sally are behind this.” novelbin
John gave her a hum. “Don’t worry. I will not let them off the hook since you are implicated by theincident.”
With a pout on her face, Sophia observed John closely, but her mind was clouded in confusion. His
words always seemed to be implying something, as if he had something else in mind while speaking.Ever since last night, I had a feeling that what he said didn’t sound straightforward at all.
She could feel that something was off since last night, but she assumed she was overthinking things.However, it was now apparent to her that she wasn’t a part of the problem, as John’s actions stillseemed fishy.
As John averted his gaze, the smile on his face grew ever brighter, whereas Ian seemed to retain astoic expression, for he could detect John’s intentions behind those words that were deliberately aimedat him.
During the ensuing silence, Zack stood up to make a call in the yard. Although John was the one whorequested for an investigation to be launched, he didn’t need to do so personally, as all he needed wasfor Zack to arrange for someone to do the work.
Zack didn’t go back in after the call, and instead opted to stand in the yard until Logan drove himself toSophia’s house. The latter was still cursing under his breath when he got out of the car, which seemedto indicate that he was still infuriated.
While remaining seated, John turned to cast a glance at Logan before mumbling to himself, “That goldchain on him...”
Sophia smacked her lips in response. “Yeah, I find it to be an eyesore, too.” Nothing else was saidregarding the matter, as Logan had always had a peculiar taste that made him stand out in a crowd, sothe choice in apparel was indeed in character.
Seething while entering the living room, Logan downed a cup of tea which he grabbed from the table
without even asking whose tea it was. Meanwhile, Sophia stood when she asked, “How did it go? Whatdid you tell the police? Did the group of people confess to what they did?”
“F*ck.” Such was Logan’s sole response. He then put his hands on his waist before saying, “Those whowere still aware enough to speak denied having any knowledge of the drugs. All they told the policewas that it was handed to them by that b*stard from the Poole Family, whereas that b*stard was stillunconscious when I left. He might very well have had his head stuck in his own *ss.”
John cast Logan a glance while asking, “Did you offend anyone lately?”
The question was met with a bitter smile from Logan. “You sure pinned me in a hard spot with thatquestion. I already lost count of how many people I offended.”
