Female Novel
Chapter 636
Getting out of bed, Sophia glanced down from the stairwell on the second floor, only to see that therewere quite a few people downstairs. Aside from John and Zack, both Logan and Fabian were present.She wasn’t sure what they were conversing about, but Logan seemed to be confused by it. “You’remaking it so complicated that I could hardly understand! I only need you to tell me what to do! My headis hurting from all the analysis you did!”
It had been a while since she last saw Logan, so she missed him quite dearly. With a smile on her face,she called out to him, “Logan!” novelbin
Lifting his head, Logan cried out in joy as soon as he saw her, and he was soon hopping up the stairs.“Sophia, I miss you a lot!”
Upon seeing that Logan was giving her a hug, the expression on John’s face soured. Zack approachedhim to tease him quietly, “Look at them; he’s hugging her like it’s no big deal! Young Master Jeffersonsure knows how to take advantage of a situation.”
Glancing at Zack with contempt, John chided, “Stop being a busybody. Do you understand what I wastalking about?”
Zack nodded instantly. “Yeah, of course I understand.”
Meanwhile, Fabian spoke up at the appropriate moment. “But are you sure that there are a lot of herbsin the mountains?”
Recalling the situation, John replied, “I did check out the area, and there were some in the nearbymountains. However, I do need someone to do a more detailed assessment. If things are to proceed as
expected, those are all resources that we can make use of.”
Fabian gave a grunt in response before replying, “If that is true, I agree with your plan.”
After some thought, John added, “Alright, so those will be our plans for now. We will talk about it againwhen the assessment is done.”
On the other hand, Sophia came downstairs with a cheerful look alongside Logan. “It’s not everydaythat I see all of you here.”
Fabian told her, “I did drop by a few times before today, but you were never in. It wasn’t until Icontacted Zack that I knew you will be home today. You didn’t even leave me a message when you left,so it’s all your fault that I had to leave empty-handed multiple times!”
In the meantime, Sophia walked over to them before sitting down on one end of the sofa. “I was in ahurry, so I didn’t manage to inform anyone.”
Upon checking her out, Fabian said, “You don’t seem all that good. My grandmother had beencomplaining that you have been shunning us since you never came to visit us.”
Sophia was a little uneasy at the mention of Kate Blackwell, as she was being overly nice to Sophia,which seemed odd to the latter. She doubted that a mere tarot card could predict that she was a luckystar to the Blackwells. If the cards somehow foretold that she was their nemesis instead, Kate wouldprobably have to find all sorts of ways to get rid of her to put her own mind at peace.
Fabian smiled while looking at Sophia. “My grandmother can be quite stubborn. Some time ago, theBlackwells were stuck in a bad situation, and her health was also declining. It made her sink into
depression, which was why she opted to get herself a reading in the first place. The fortune tellerforetold a fated meeting with an important person that would help solve the Blackwell Family’stroubles.”
Truth be told, Fabian assumed that the fortune teller said so merely to soothe his grandmother’snerves, and it was a pure coincidence that Sophia managed to set herself apart during hisgrandmother’s birthday banquet. After that, the Blackwells managed to free themselves from thepredicament as well in a similar period of time, which was why his grandmother was utterly convincedthat the fortune teller told the truth.
From Kate’s point of view, Sophia was the Blackwell Family’s lucky star, so they had to treat her withrespect. However, Sophia could only sigh in resignation upon recalling the full story. “I supposesomething like that is nothing but a pure coincidence.”
Letting out a sigh, Fabian told her, “To her, everything happens for a reason, and there’s no such thingas a coincidence.”
Sophia smacked her lips before telling him, “The thing is that I’m just a little afraid since she was beingso enthusiastic and overly kind toward me.”
Upon laying eyes on Sophia, John was reminded of Walter. He couldn’t help but worry that Waltermight spring into action as soon as he caught wind of news that Sophia had established connectionswith a family as prestigious as the Blackwells.
