Chapter 868
Unlike histest arrest, Logan had always turned to Lorraine for help every time there was a spot check
at his clubhouse that put him in trouble. Nevertheless, Sophia deemed he brought this upon himself
since he was the one who went looking for trouble. While he was too ashamed to reach out to his sister
for help, he called Ian a few times, but to no avail, which he reckoned thetter must be having a
hangover. Therefore, he had no choice but to ask Sophia to help him out.
Needless to say, Sophia knew Logan was probably ashamed of himself, noticing his silence when she
paid his bail. Meanwhile, John sniggered with his eyes falling upon the club. “Is he wrecking stuff again
in there?”
Sophia leaned back on his chair and said, “That’s none of my business. He can do whatever he wants
to his own property, so I’m going to just take a rest for now.” Nheless, Logan didn’t vent his anger
out by wrecking stuff but instead locked himself inside his own room.
While the waiter, who put an ear to the door, heard nothing but silence, Sophia and John showed up
outside his room a few momentster. Then, the waiter pointed at the room door and helplessly
shrugged his shoulders. Upon witnessing his reaction, Sophia smiled and knocked on the door. “It’s
almost noon, Logan. Do you want to join us for lunch? Come on, let’s have lunch together.”
Nheless, her words were met with silence. Soon, John came closer and asked, “Perhaps you could
take your time to calm down while we get the dishes ready. By then, you cane out and join us.
What do you say?”

Leaning against the door, Sophia tried tofort her friend. “Come on! This is actually not much of a
big deal. You’ve always gone in and out of the police station anyway. The only difference is that I’m the
one who bailed you out this time instead of your sister.” She paused and asked, “Or is it because you’re
worried that you’d look bad in front of me? Does pride really still matter considering how close we are?”
Sophia asked that question with a chuckle in a rxing manner.
After a short while, Logan’s voice was heard from inside the room. “Why would I be worried about that?
I already look bad enough in front of you.”
Sophia raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. “Come on! How could you say that to yourself? This is
just a little setback.” Then, she added with a gentle voice, “Okay, why don’t you tell us your frustration
during the meal? Share your problem with us.”
Logan responded with a nomittal grunt. “Nah, I’m not hungry.”
John ced his hand on Sophia’s shoulder and nudged her before both of them exchanged gazes.
Soon, Sophia said, “Alright, stay inside since you’re not hungry. John and I will make a move once
we’re done eating here.” After saying that, she purposely emphasized the next sentence. “We’re now
heading to the game room.”
Soon, Sophia shifted her eyes to the waiter and raised her voice to make sure Logan could hear what
she was saying. “Please prepare us a few dishes. Just make the meal simple because we’ll be leaving
as soon as we’re done.” While the waiter cooperated by responding in agreement before leaving,
Sophia was grateful that everyone was smart enough to read her implicit message.
In fact, the game room was the usual ce where Logan had his meal. It was a spacious room with a
table for card games, as well as a dining table in the corner. Therefore, Sophia and John decided to
head over there and wait, but before the dishes were served, Logan showed up.
With a gloomy expression on his face, Logan entered the game room and walked toward the table
before he sat down alone. Upon witnessing that, Sophia and John looked at each other with a chuckle,
whereupon John approached Logan and sat beside him. Staring at Logan, John smiled and said,
“Come on! I’m sure you came across something else far more serious than this one, yet you’ve never
looked so dejected.”
