Chapter 853
Although Ian was hungry at that moment, he was not in the mood to eat as he was bothered by the fact
that Sophia was pregnant. At the thought of that, Ian lost his appetite, so he only responded with an
indifferent grunt after hearing Sophia’s question. “That’s fine by me.”
After instructing the waiter to prepare the food, Sophia continued to stand in ce, wondering how she
should face Ian. We both used to be close to each other, so why do we feel awkward now that we meet
again? What has really gone wrong?
Meanwhile, Ian could tell that Sophia was feeling a little awkward, so he wasn’tfortable with that as
well. I only just left for a short period of time, but I can’t believe so much has changed while I was gone.
If I had known this is how the matter would end up, I wouldn’t have left Sophia to join thepetition.
Nheless, there is no turning back now.
Sophia stood in ce for a few moments. Then, she came closer to the couch and sat down but kept
her distance from Ian. After clearing her throat, she asked, “How was yourpetition? Has yourtest
ranking been announced?” Since Ian was a candidate highly rmended by Lorraine, it shouldn’t be
hard for him to secure a good ce in the rankings.
Ian clicked his tongue and replied, “They only told me to take a break for two days since they need to
assess the forumments and vote counts before making any further announcement about the
ranking.”
Despite her confusion, Sophia had a rough picture of what Ian was trying to tell her in her mind. “I wish
you the best of luck in yourpetition! May you secure a job in an establishedpany and prove
your worth to the Morgan Family.”
“My family actually contacted me when I was in thepetition,” Ian said with a smile.
In fact, Bryce was the one who had contacted Ian back then because he wasn’t happy to see his son
on TV. He viewed Ian as a disgrace like his mother. Initially, he called Ian to make him give up on the
competition, but when his persuasion failed to sway his son, he began to lose his temper. Seeing that
reaction of his, Ian was afraid that the old man woulde over in a fit of rage to cause a scene. Later,
his phone had been kept away from him, and as time went by, he no longer bothered to return Bryce’s
missed calls or respond to his messages.
This time when Ian came back, he didn’t inform any of the Morgan Family members because he
wouldn’t like to see them.

At the mention of his family, Sophia instantly knew what she could talk about. In order to get herself out
of the awkward situation, Sophia decisively brought up the matter about Sally. Ever since Sally was
detained, Leah had been trying to pull every string she could to get her off the hook. Nevertheless, the
incident somehow took a turn for the worse as the victim refused to let things slide. Therefore, Sally
was still in custody, even though Leah had spent a fortune on getting her daughter out. When Leah
subsequently realized there was nothing else she could do, Sally was forced to plead guilty.
As for Simon, he hadn’t returned to his office yet. Due to his rebellious nature, he had beenid off by
Bryce and grounded at home. Irritated by that, the man swore to oppose his father by indulging in a life
of nightly debauchery.
ording to what Logan had learned, Sophia knew that the Morgan Family had been in constant
disharmony. Therefore, Bryce, whose health was originally in poor condition, had been regrly asking
his doctor for check-ups and consultation due to the stress that had been caused by the disturbances.
When Logan told that to Sophia, he gloated gleefully and rejoiced in the Morgan Family’s misery,
thinking that they deserved what wasing to them. After all, Bryce had made countless mistakes
that he shouldn’t have made in his youth. Thus, Logan reckoned that karma had caught up with that old
man.
