Chapter 1173


    L gave a bark ofughter. “Hurry up and leave. Did you think I’m unaware of your intentions?” After


    saying that, she went into the house and mmed the door shut. Then, she exhaled before lifting her


    hands to her face and patting her cheeks a few times. I was really feeling shy earlier. I’ve tried my best


    to suppress it and face him coolly, but I wonder whether it seemed natural.


    She slumped against the door. A whileter, she pulled open the door and peered out. He has


    left. Breathing a sigh of relief, she closed the door and went back to her room. After mulling it over, she


    went over to the window and looked down. All at once, she spotted his car downstairs. This guy hasn’t


    left yet! Then, she quickly shrunk back and drew the curtains.


    However, before a second had even passed, a call came in from Logan. Gripping her cell phone in her


    hand, she hesitated for a long time before answering the call. On the other end, Logan snickered.


    “You’re reluctant to let me go? You must be looking at me beside the window earlier, no?”


    L instantly snorted. “Don’t be so shameless! I was just looking at the weather to see whether it’ll rain


    tomorrow.”


    Logan sighed softly. “If you say so. You must be tired today, so rest earlier. Also, remember to drink


    more water. No matter how much juice you drank today, you still drank something detrimental to health,

    so drink more water to flush it out.”


    Murmuring an assent, L whispered, “You, too.” The phone call then ended here.


    After hanging up the phone, Logan drove away.


    The next day, Sophia only woke up when it was almost noon. Opening her eyes, she was greeted by


    the sight of John sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at his cell phone. Stunned, she scooted over


    and hugged him around the waist. “It’s not a holiday today, so why didn’t you go to work?”


    John looked at her thoughtfully. “I’m almost done with my work in the office, so I decided to stay home


    in the morning. I’ll be all yours after going over in the afternoon to hand my work to someone else.”


    Chuckling softly, Sophia nestled into his embrace. “Are you looking at the news reports about the


    Baileys?”


    John answered in the affirmative before telling her about the news report he was currently reading. The


    news mainly spoke of Elder Mr. Bailey hiring people to kidnap Sophia, linking this to John calling off his


    wedding to Isabelle in the past, so he was iming that it was revenge. For now, they hadn’t mentioned


    the Bailey Family’s involvement in the shadow bank, so they were probably nning to expose things


    one after another.


    Closing her eyes, Sophiaughed maniacally. “Ah, how I wish to see that old geezer! I wonder how


    he’s doing now.”


    Beside her, Johnmented, “He’s up in years, so I don’t think he’ll get a heavy sentence.”


    True. Only then did Sophia realize that. I wonder if that old geezer dared to do as he pleased because


    he’s old and has a foot in the grave. However, something else then urred to her. “It’s okay since he’s


    old. He has a son, no? His son can be sentenced, and the entire Bailey Family will then copse.”


    Lifting a hand, John caressed her head and guffawed out loud. I just love this vengeful attitude of hers!


    “Will Isabelle be implicated?” Sophia then muttered.


    Stroking her head, John chuckled upon hearing this question. “Don’t worry. I’ve already greased some


    palms, so she won’t be incriminated in this matter. She’ll remain meless.”


    Sophia murmured in acknowledgment. “That’s good.”


    After thinking for a moment, John added, “I saw the message she sent me this morning. She seems to


    have rendezvoused with her mother, so they’ll probably settle down over there.”
