Female Novel
Chapter 992
Sophia immediately interrupted Logan. “Logan, you need to tell me what’s going on first. I don’t reallyget it as the news never explained anything specifically.”
Logan tutted. “I can’t believe you don’t understand it when even I managed to comprehend everythingclearly.” Then, he continued to say, “The Baileys’ shadow bank was reported with claims that they weredoing illegal transactions, so the police raided the place and found illegal stuff.”
Sophia urged him to go on. “What kind of illegal stuff?”
Logan chuckled. “Remember the last time Lola raided my place wanting to find that thing? That’s whatthey found at the shadow bank.”
Sophia pondered for a moment before she gasped. Seriously? They are really audacious!
However, Logan went on to say, “But still, the shadow bank isn’t under the Baileys as they were onlypulling the strings from behind the scenes. The real perpetrators aren’t related to them at all, so it’shard to drag the Baileys through the mud even though it has been exposed.”
Sophia didn’t really understand the connection between all these, so she said, “Oh… If the shadowbank is gone, what are you guys going to do with the Baileys after this?”
Logan contemplated things for a moment. “Although the shadow bank is gone now, the Baileys stillhave financial dealings with them, so there will still be leads leading to them. It’s just that it will be hardto find them.”
All of the cash from the shadow bank was channeled to the Baileys through overseas accounts. Sincethe Baileys had business overseas as well, it would be normal for them to have overseas transactions,so it would be hard to try to pin the matter of the shadow bank on them.
Sophia ran her fingers through her hair. “So you’re saying that we need more time before we can takedown the Baileys completely, is that right?”
However, Logan chuckled again. “We can’t be sure, as there are also other variables that might affectthe Baileys.”
Suddenly, Sophia recalled those things that Isabelle mentioned during the phone call on the previousday.
The variable that would affect the Baileys might actually be Isabelle.
After that, Sophia started chatting with Logan about Ian.
Logan hadn’t been contacting Ian as well, for the latter was still in the middle of a fierce competition, sohe didn’t want to bother him. Still, he had heard that Lorraine had mentioned that Ian was doing great,and his votes were really high as he managed to attract the crowd’s attention. Hence, it was definitelypossible for him to come out victorious.
When Sophia heard what Logan said, she felt relieved.
This proved that all of the efforts that Ian had made previously didn’t go to waste, and he could finallywalk with his head held high in the Morgan Family.
However, Logan added, “Recently, there have been people exposing dirt on Ian, and most of themwere about his origins.”
It seemed like his mother’s information was leaked. Still, Lorraine assured him that they had paidpeople to cover up the news the moment it was leaked, but they couldn’t be sure if these informationwould be dug up again if Ian were to get even more popular in the future.
Sophia sighed. “Of course it would be. Which famous celebrity doesn't have dirt on them? Putting asidethose meddlesome netizens, even his opponents would try to find dirt on Ian so that they can oppresshim.”
This was something that every budding celebrity would have to go through.
After this, Sophia hung up as it was time for her to get out of bed, and Logan seemed like he was busyas well.
Then, Sophia got up to freshen up and went downstairs to eat her breakfast.
Matilda had already arrived by now, and she was chatting with Old Mrs. Constance downstairs. novelbin
When she spotted Sophia coming down, she waved and greeted her. “Come, come. The dishes are stillwarm, so you should eat your breakfast first.”
After that, Matilda continued talking to Old Mrs. Constance. “I’m not really sure, but everyone has beentalking about it. The police went over to the Baileys’ place yesterday as there were claims thatsomeone in their family went to the shadow bank before, but it’s probably not related to them as therehasn’t been detailed news about it.”
