Chapter 180 A Sting in Logan''s Heart
Chapter 180 A Sting in Logan''s Heart
"Aunt, what did you just say?" Logan looked at Yetta in disbelief.
Before he could say anything, he heard the voice of his junior sister, Jodie, from outside the door.
"Logan, are you there?"
Upon hearing this, Logan stood up as if struck by lightning, feeling guilty and unable to look at
Adeline.
"I... I..."
Logan looked extremely ufortable.
Jodie outside the living room, who was stopped by a servant, continued to shout loudly.
"Logan, are you there? It''s Jodie."
Alston''s brows furrowed deeply, and when he looked at Logan, his expression was not angry but
imposing. "How could another womane looking for you? The Riley family has strict rules and
principles. Haven''t you disciplined yourself?"
"She... she is my colleague," Logan said, lowering his head.
"Even colleagues should maintain their distance!" Alston''s voice grew louder, taking on the
appearance of a devilish coach.
"Yes, Uncle, I will handle it immediately."
Just as Logan was about to leave, he looked guiltily at Adeline before dejectedly walking out of the
living room.

Upon seeing Logan, Jodie''s face lit up with joy. "Logan!"
Logan pinched her arm and led her outside the old mansion. "Why did youe here?"
A hint of disappointment shed through Jodie''s heart.
She hadn''t expected that she still couldn''t enter the Riley family''s old mansion this time.
After working with Logan for so long, he had never once invited her inside.
There was one time when she had brought it up, but Logan politely declined, citing the strict family
rules and saying that only those recognized by the Riley family could enter.
Every time, Jodie would feel extremely jealous when she saw Adeline freely entering the Riley
family and even staying there.
She also wanted to enter this century-old mansion and take a few selfies.
After all, these photos would be something to boast about on social media.
And in Prodiff, having these few photos could bring various conveniences.
It seemed that the Riley family was well aware of this, thus they strictly controlled the quality of their
visitors.
Logan brought her to an empty area and scolded her angrily, "What are you doing here? I have a
girlfriend, and your actions make it difficult for me."
Jodie''s heart skipped a beat and her eyes welled up with tears at his words.
She lowered her head and twisted her clothes. "Logan... I... I heard that you suddenly came back,
so I wanted to see if something happened at home. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
As she spoke, Jodie''s face turned pale, revealing a pitiful and aggrieved look.
"I... I''m just concerned about you."
Seeing Jodie like this, Logan couldn''t bear to scold her. "There''s nothing wrong with my family. It''s
just that my father''s birthday ising up, and I came back to celebrate. I also want to repair my
rtionship with Adeline."
Jodie forced a smile. "That''s good... repairing your rtionship with Adeline, that''s good. If... if
there''s a need, you can tell me. I can exin it to Adeline for you. If she needs it, I can even kneel
down for her."
"Jodie, you don''t have to do this! There''s no need to be so submissive!" Logan furrowed his brows
tightly.
Jodie smiled bitterly. "As long as you''re fine, I don''t care about anything else... Logan, I just hope
you can be happy."
Logan felt a pang in his heart, but he forced himself to turn away.
Before he could say anything, a sweet voice came from a distance.
"Logan."
Before the voice could finish, Vi, who had been brought over by Victoria, rushed over and
proactively held Logan''s hand.
Jodie''s expression changed in an instant!
At this moment, Alston, who had finished his dinner, put down his chopsticks and looked at Curtis
and Adeline, speaking with stern parental authority.
"Both of you,e with me to the room!"
