Female Novel
Chapter 854
Despite learning about the Morgan Family’s disharmony, Ian appeared to look unbothered. He wouldhave felt elated as well if he had heard about these things when he was younger, but now, all these justsounded like nothing more than gossip to him. Therefore, he’d rather spend his time on something elserather than those people that he didn’t like.
As Ian was beginning to let go of that matter, he had made up his mind to cut ties with the MorganFamily, wanting nothing to do with them ever again. He then leaned back on the couch and sighed.“The Morgan Family will have to count on Sean from now on.” No one else but Sean can help theMorgan Family get back to its feet. Initially, Dad kept on nagging Sally and Simon to study hard for thesake of the company. What a pipe dream!
Meanwhile, Sophia had hardly heard of anything about Sean, merely knowing him as a man who kept alow profile as she never saw a picture of him even on the news. Then, she was reminded of aninterview that she had seen somewhere, which was related to Sean. True to his character, that manonly answered nothing more than what he was asked. A man like him always seems to have a hiddenagenda, but I guess the Morgan Family would prosper under his leadership if he were to step up. Soon,she curiously asked, “When your brother leads the Morgan Family, I wonder if it’ll be a bad thing for thethree of them.”
Upon hearing Sophia’s words, Ian thought about it in a serious manner before revealing a smile. “Idoubt things are going to end up too terribly for them, even though their life won’t exactly be a goodone from that point on.”
As soon as Ian finished his sentence, Sophia’s phone rang and interrupted their conversation. Sheanswered the call, which turned out to be from Matilda to ask her where she was. Upon taking a
glimpse at Ian, she told Matilda that she was at Logan’s club. Deep down, she was hoping that Matildacould come here and get her out of this awkward situation. If only Matilda was here to get me off thehook.
At that moment, a waiter came over and served the noodles for Ian. Matilda seemed to have heard hisvoice, for she then chuckled and said, “I’ll be there in a minute.”
Once Sophia hung up the call, she put down her phone and explained to Ian. “It was John’s mom. Shehas been treating me well lately, and we’ve both buried the hatchet.”
“Oh.” A preoccupied look appeared on Ian’s face. “It seems that a lot of things happened when I wasaway.”
After hearing his words, Sophia hated to guess what Ian was implying, so she only responded with anod. For the next few moments, silence ensued as Sophia leaned back on the couch and shifted hergaze elsewhere. Meanwhile, Ian began to enjoy his noodles while looking at his phone, seeminglychecking out a text message that was just received. Witnessing his frown, Sophia couldn’t help butwonder if something serious happened. Perhaps it’s some update about his competition. I suppose Ianhas been having a hard time fighting all alone for the sake of his future.
In the meantime, Matilda arrived at the lounge not long after their call, but when she saw the manbeside Sophia, she quickly came closer to have a look, only to realize that it was Ian. Surprised,Matilda asked, “You’re back, Ian?”
Ian put down his phone and looked up at Matilda. “Today is a holiday for me, Mrs. Constance.” novelbin
Matilda nodded and replied, “Oh, I see. I bet you could use a break too.” Then, she looked around herand asked in confusion, “Where is Logan? Why don’t I see him?”
