Chapter 384


    “Let’s not get worked up. I’m tired, and I don’t want to fight,” he said calmly. “Mom, there’s a price to


    pay for anything you do. Take what you did for example. Putting aside our family, do you think Sophia’s


    going to let you off the hook after what you did? If you get involved, our family’s going to get dragged


    into this, and by extension, thepany. Think about the domino effect that will happen, the PR


    disaster, and the things that you have to face.”


    Matilda’s mouth formed aical O. That idea never crossed her mind, for she never thought anything


    two steps ahead; she never had, and she never would.


    John smiled. “Grandma’s angry because you sabotaged the whole family. We were close to being


    snapped into oblivion.”


    Matilda blinked, saying nothing. However, the look of realization on her face told John she knew what


    went wrong.


    John patted her shoulder. “Mom, talk to Dad. This is between you two, so nobody can or should


    interfere.”


    That was a wake-up call for Matilda. Now that she thought about it, they had been interfering with


    John’s marriage all this time. His grandfather insisted on him marrying Sophia, then he died. After that,


    she became a saboteur in John’s rtionship with Sophia. Matilda was clear that the bad state of their


    rtionship wasrgely thanks to her. And now, her son was telling her nobody could interfere with her


    marriage. I’m a joke.


    John looked at her for a while before saying, “Dad’s noting home tonight. He said you’ll be in a


    bad mood, so he wants you to calm down. He’ll see you tomorrow or the day after. Talk to him then.”


    Matilda was quiet. A whileter, she said almost inaudibly, “Okay.” Then she left and closed the door.


    After that, John sat down and finished his wine in one gulp.


    On the other hand, Sophia went through her routine like nothing had happened today. She was even


    humming a song, then a momentter, her phone rang. It was from Logan, and she sat down before


    her dressing table. Doesn’t he get tired, calling me every day?


    Does he think I’m as dumb as he is? Is that why he keeps pestering me? She turned on the


    speakerphone. “What do you want? It hasn’t even been five seconds.”


    Delighted, Logan started bbering, “Sophia, I ain’t gonna let anyone rough you up and get away with


    it. I got the… the… What’s his name again?” He went away, and Sophia heard him asking, “What’s


    your name?”


    In the next second, she heard a guttural scream, one directed at the phone. “Sophia, it’s me, Husky!


    Save me!”


    Sophia was stunned, asking immediately, “Husky? You captured him?”


    Logan announced proudly, “You’re my friend. I’m taking care of you, so nobody’s going to get away with


    it after they roughed you up! I ain’t letting them go even if you do!”Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Sophiaughed. “You know, you should capture John’s mom in that case. She’s the mastermind.”
