Chapter 154 Logan''s Father Found Something
Chapter 154 Logan''s Father Found Something
Logan had a pounding headache. He subconsciously touched his surprisingly intact clothes.
However, his mind was filled with scattered images, and he couldn''t identify what had happened
with Jodie.
His heart raced, and as he got up, he noticed a bloodstain on the white sheets, confirming his
suspicions.
He stumbled out of the room and asked, "Where''s Jodie?"
Moore appeared hesitant, looking like he wanted to say something but couldn''t find the words.
Eventually, he muttered, "What are you looking for her?"
Logan''s face turned pale, and he couldn''t find the right words to respond.
Just then, Jodie limped out of her room. Herplexion wasn''t great, but she forced a smile and
asked.
"Logan, what''s the matter?"
Logan observed how Jodie walked, and his heart sank.
He took Jodie outside and asked, "Last night...st night..."
Tears welled up in Jodie''s eyes as she smiled and said, "Logan, nothing happenedst night!"
Logan felt as if his mind had exploded. He stepped back, muttering, "That''s good, that''s good. I... I
need to go find Adeline."
Upon hearing these words, Jodie grew even paler, feeling as though a knife had stabbed through
her heart.
She never expected that, despite the apparent hints she and her brother had given, Logan would
still mention Adeline at this moment.
She set a trap for Logan, but her love for him was genuine.
She had been in love with him for many years; she transferred majors in college just for him and
even pursued archaeology to be with him.
And althoughst night, Logan hadn''t taken her virginity, she had lost something precious in her
pursuit of carrying his child through artificial insemination.
How could he say something so hurtful?
Logan hastily packed his things, stumbling as he grabbed his luggage and left.
Moore was in a state of panic. "Why didn''t you tell him the truth? We paid that older man fifty
thousand dorsst night! After all that, you didn''t tell him?"
Jodie clenched her teeth. "Trust me, it''s not the right time now. It''s better to wait until I''m pregnant.
Besides, the more guilty he feels now, the better he will treat me in the future and the more money
he''ll give our family."
Moore nodded in agreement. "Having a college education makes a difference!"

Meanwhile, Victoria''s husband, Leo, went to the police station. After inquiring with some
acquaintances, he asked, "Is there enough evidence?"
"It''s a nailed-down case."
"Is there any possibility of a misunderstanding or something else?" Leo inquired.
The other person shook their head.
"Alright, I understand," Leo said, wrapping his coat tightly. He then arranged for a visit.
When Victoria saw Leo, her hair was messy, and her emotions were uncontroble.
"Honey, save me, get me out of here! That Adeline is trying to kill me!"
Leo sat down calmly without saying a word. He just stared at Victoria silently.
After Victoria spoke ill of Adeline for a while and got no response, she started to feel increasingly
uneasy.
"Honey, why are you looking at me like this?"
Leo leaned back in his chair, exuding an air of aristocratic dominance. He calmly said, "If you''re
going to talk to me like this, you don''t need to say anything. Victoria, I''m not a fool."
Victoria was stunned and grew highly embarrassed.
It was as if all her previousints had been a one-woman show.
"Why are you doing this? Adeline is our future daughter-inw. She has good character, and she
and Logan get along well. Why would you want to frame her?"
"Because she can''t have children!" Victoria argued confidently.
Leo frowned. "That''s not a valid reason. They decide to break up, not ours."
Victoria hastily grabbed Leo''s hand. "Honey, help me. I don''t want to go to jail."
"If you want me to help you, you''ll have to do as I say," Leo replied, his eyes revealing little.
Victoria quickly agreed. "I''ll do whatever you say."
"Alright, first, you need to apologize to Adeline."
Before Leo could finish his sentence, Victoria eximed, "I''m the elder here; I have to apologize to
her?"
Leo stood up, intending to leave.
Victoria''s expression changed, and she quickly corrected herself, "Honey, I''ll do as you say!"
"Good. I''ll go find Adeline now."
Leo left the police station and asked his assistant, "Find out where Adeline is. Prepare a gift and
take me there."
Shortly after, the assistant located Adeline and brought Leo to Bay Hall.
Leo stood before the familiar apartment and furrowed his brow as he asked his assistant, "Are you
sure Adeline is here?"
