Chapter 706
By that point, Matilda was a lot calmer, even managing to laugh upon giving the situation some thought.“You’re the only one who can overpower John. He was never like that with anyone.”
“He wasn’t as caring toward me back then. I was also used to being ignored by him,” Sophia muttered.
There was a moment’s pause when Matilda turned to look at Sophia. After that, she reached out tohold Sophia’s hand. “I am partially responsible for how he treated you back then, as I used tobadmouth you in front of him, so I might’ve influenced his decision. However, despite how he treatedyou in the past, you can’t deny that you’re now his only love.”
Sophia fell silent upon hearing Matilda’s confession. It wasn’t until a while later that the driver Logancalled for arrived, who drove them home as soon as they hopped in. Halfway through their journey,Logan got a call from Mark. Other than informing him that the man they caught was locked in theclubhouse’s basement, Mark was also inquiring on what to do next.
Despite being a hooligan, Logan didn’t actually know a lot about interrogation. Much as he was ab*stard, he was a magnanimous b*stard who preferred to settle disputes in a direct manner. If it was upto him, he would first break the man’s arm, but he knew his savage behavior wouldn’t help in findingout more about the mastermind, which was why he hesitated. “Well... Hold on... Keep him in therewhile I ask around.” novelbin
Hanging up, Logan gave John a text. In the meantime, Sophia was leaning against the window whilepondering on her circumstances. The person behind this incident should be the same as the one frombefore, as she didn’t think she had so many enemies who would want to seek revenge against her. Shedidn't have that level of notoriety. In fact, she only had one person in mind upon going through her listof candidates.
Upon their arrival at Sophia's house, Matilda was the first to get out of the car, with Sophia followingbehind her, and Logan was the last. He stretched out while mumbling, “Ian should be wrapping thingsup on his end, so he should be back at any moment.”
Sophia froze in place before glancing at Logan. Without another word, he entered the house at aleisurely pace. Judging from the online broadcast, Sophia figured that there should be more to comebefore the program that Ian was in reached its end, but the shooting should be almost finished. If thecompetition was over, Ian's return should be anticipated, but Sophia wasn't sure how she shouldreceive him.
Meanwhile, Matilda supported Sophia while they entered the living room. Sitting on the sofa, Loganwas checking his phone. “You know, I was texting John just now—”
Before he finished his sentence, John’s car was already parked in the yard. Upon getting out of his car,he came over to them in strides. “Are you guys all right?”

Although he directed his question to all of them, he only had eyes for Sophia, but she averted her gazeafter sparing him a glance. Meanwhile, Matilda let out a chuckle. “I’m fine, so you don’t have to worryabout me, since I was never the target to begin with.”
She was apparently making fun of John. However, he seemed to be unfazed as he maintained his gazeon Sophia while inquiring in a gentle tone, “Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?”
Without looking his way, Sophia answered, “I’m alright. That man didn’t even get remotely close to meas Logan was there.”
John sat down beside her before reaching for her hand. While caressing it in between his palms, heasked Logan, “Did you lock the man up at your place?”
Humming, Logan stole a glance at their intertwined fingers before replying, “Yeah, but I don’t reallyknow how to interrogate him, so you’ll have to take over matters from here. You know me; if it were upto me, that man would end up either wounded or dead.”
