Chapter 1022


    With a smile, Sophia said, “I’m still alright. John told me that he wanted to stop work temporarily to


    keep mepany until the child is born, but I don’t think it’s a good idea. If he stays with me all the


    time, I’ll probably find him irritating very soon.” Upon finishing her words, she burst intoughter.


    Old Mrs. Constance knew that Sophia was just trying toe up with an excuse for John, so she


    grinned and said, “It’s said that familiarity breeds contempt. I think they’re getting along pretty well in


    their current state. John can be clingy sometimes, so if he’s free to keep Sophiapany all the time,

    she will grow sick of him soon.”


    With a smirk, Sophia went along by saying, “You’re right. Unlike his past self, he’s very clingy


    nowadays.”


    On the other hand, Third Mrs. ckwell teased, “That’s because he loves you. We all know what John


    was like in the past. He was an impassive man who never even smiled. If he’s started being all needy


    and clingy, it means that you’re very important to him.”


    Seeing as the topic was sessfully changed, Sophia lowered her gaze and thought about John, who


    was troubled by notpany matters but the task of destroying the Baileys.


    The Baileys… It’s not easy to bring down such a powerful family. Sophia let out a breath.


    Meanwhile, John was at the warehouse instead of at work. His subordinate showed him the bone,


    which was clearly not an animal bone, found in the basement of the shadow bank.


    John unrolled the cloth that was wrapped around the bone and inspected it. With a frown, he said, “It


    seems to be a human leg bone.”


    The subordinate nodded. “We think so too. After we found this bonest night, we went on to look


    around the basement, but we couldn’t find anything else. I think this bone was identally left behind


    by those from the shadow bank when they went to empty out the ce.”


    The bone was buried in the soil. If they were not careful enough, they wouldn’t have found it.


    After examining the bone for a while, John concluded that it was the leg bone of an adult. Then, he


    passed the bone to his subordinate and said, “Bury the bone back where it was. I’ll handle the rest.”


    Hearing this, the subordinate wrapped up the bone and executed his order.


    After waiting for a bit, John called Logan, who was still deep in his sleep in broad daylight.


    When the call was connected, John said, “There’s something I need to discuss with you, so I’m going


    to your clubhouseter.”


    Hearing that, Logan became energized in an instant and said, “It’s because we didn’t get to meet each


    otherst night, right? Alright. Pleasee now. I have to call L toe over as well. Yesterday,


    she med me for being unreliable, so I have to prove her wrong.”


    John didn’t stop him because he needed L’s help to find out more about the bone.


    After the call ended, John gave an order to his subordinates and drove his car to Logan’s clubhouse.


    However, on the way to his destination, he noticed that two cars were trying to sandwich his vehicle.


    Rather than harming John, they seemed to be trying to stop his car.


    Having figured who they worked for, John pulled up his car on the roadside, as he was curious about


    what they intended to do. Upon getting out of the car, he leaned against the door and watched the


    approaching vehicles with a smile.
