Chapter 1070


    Very much surprised, L trotted out. Meanwhile, Logan remained sitting in the car with the car


    window wound down. Running over, L demanded impatiently, “What is it now? I’m busy at the


    moment.”


    Taking the two wrapped stalks of roses in the passenger seat, Logan handed them to her. “Here, for


    you.”


    L stared at the two stalks of roses in stunned astonishment. “Why are you giving me this?”


    At this, Logan chuckled. His voice tinged with a hint of mockery, he exined, “You told me that you


    didn’t receive any flowers while out on a date with your boyfriend, so I came over to console you, afraid


    that you’re saddened.”


    L merely gaped at him without saying a single word.


    Upon seeing this, Logan swung open the car door and alighted from the car before stuffing the flowers


    into her hand. “Take this, you poor thing. It’s just two stalks of flowers, so it’s nothing to me.” After


    saying that, he slipped back into the car and turned to her, urging, “Don’t be too touched. It’s mainly


    because I pity you.” Having said that, he wound the car window up. Then, he started the car and drove


    off.


    L was a tad bewildered at his sudden gift of flowers. While it was merely two stalks of flowers and


    seemed exceedingly perfunctory, she felt very awkward for some inexplicable reason. To date, she’d


    never received flowers from someone of the opposite sex. When the man from the blind date came to


    seek her out and they went out for lunch, they walked past a florist just after exiting the restaurant.


    However, her mind never went there, and the man didn’t notice it either. Actually, she wasn’t all that


    bothered whether he gave her flowers. Nevertheless, it was definitely better than nothing. Holding the


    two stalks of exquisitely wrapped roses, she lifted her head and gazed in the direction where Logan’s


    car had disappeared, wondering what he meant by this.


    Logan, on the other hand, felt gratified all of a sudden though he couldn’t quite exin the feeling.


    Anyhow, he felt as though he’d regained his dignity before her; it felt truly blissful and rendered him all


    rxed. After that, he drove back to the clubhouse. For the entire afternoon, energy sizzled through his


    veins.

    In the evening, he received a call from John who said the Baileys had called Sophia twice, inviting her


    to Ernest’s uing birthday celebration. Sophia’s rtionship with the Bailey Family was already well


    past bad to downright hostile, so it was clear as day that the Baileys had an ulterior motive in their


    enthusiasm to have her attend. John then expounded that Sophia had declined once, but Isabelle


    called a second time whereupon Elder Mr. Bailey took his turn as well, both of them taking turns in


    persuading her, insisting on her attendance.


    Logan’s eyes widened upon hearing this. “She definitely can’t go! That old geezer probably has a trap


    in ce to harm Sophia!”


    John grunted in agreement yetmented, “I initially didn’t want Sophia to take the risk either, but I also


    think that the Baileys might show their hand if she were to make an appearance. So, it’ll be a golden


    opportunity to tip their hand.”


    That was the matter of fact. Logan also understood that using Sophia as bait was their best bet to lure


    the Baileys out. The investigation regarding the shadow bank was wrapping up recently, but it was truly


    a real bear to implicate the Bailey Family. Without them making any major move, it’d be difficult to bring


    them down in a short time. Thus, Sophia was considered the point of breakthrough.
