Chapter 412Sophia clicked her tongue while frowning, but quickly made sure to wipe it off her face. John sure is a
shifty b*stard. He never would’ve said so in the past, as he used to be so calculating.
Having said so, John stared straight into Sophia’s eyes, which made her get goosebumps. He looked
conniving yet hesitant at the same time, but no matter the case, he surely wasn’t up to anything good.
He let out a silent laugh before averting his gaze moments later. Truth be told, he wasn’t even
scheming on anything. Instead, he was doing it for fun.
Logan’s call came in after they spent some time in Sophia’s house, during which he scolded that
b*stard from the Poole Family for framing him. As soon as Sophia heard what Logan said, she asked,
“Are you set free?”
“Of course! Lorraine came to bail me.” He sounded rather indignant. “Where are you? I’ll come look for
you now.”
With that, Sophia had him come to her place before hanging up, while John was sitting crossed-legged
when he spoke, “Lorraine sure is getting more and more capable.” She needed more time back then to
bail Logan out.
A frown formed on Sophia’s face when she said, “You need to make a thorough investigation to check if
Simon and Sally are behind this.”
John gave her a hum. “Don’t worry. I will not let them off the hook since you are implicated by the
incident.”
noveldramaWith a pout on her face, Sophia observed John closely, but her mind was clouded in confusion. Hiswords always seemed to be implying something, as if he had something else in mind while speaking.
Ever since last night, I had a feeling that what he said didn’t sound straightforward at all.
She could feel that something was off since last night, but she assumed she was overthinking things.
However, it was now apparent to her that she wasn’t a part of the problem, as John’s actions still
seemed fishy.
As John averted his gaze, the smile on his face grew ever brighter, whereas Ian seemed to retain a
stoic expression, for he could detect John’s intentions behind those words that were deliberately aimed
at him.
During the ensuing silence, Zack stood up to make a call in the yard. Although John was the one who
requested for an investigation to be launched, he didn’t need to do so personally, as all he needed was
for Zack to arrange for someone to do the work.
Zack didn’t go back in after the call, and instead opted to stand in the yard until Logan drove himself to
Sophia’s house. The latter was still cursing under his breath when he got out of the car, which seemed
to indicate that he was still infuriated.
While remaining seated, John turned to cast a glance at Logan before mumbling to himself, “That gold
chain on him...”
Sophia smacked her lips in response. “Yeah, I find it to be an eyesore, too.” Nothing else was said
regarding the matter, as Logan had always had a peculiar taste that made him stand out in a crowd, so
the choice in apparel was indeed in character.
Seething while entering the living room, Logan downed a cup of tea which he grabbed from the tablewithout even asking whose tea it was. Meanwhile, Sophia stood when she asked, “How did it go? What
did you tell the police? Did the group of people confess to what they did?”
“F*ck.” Such was Logan’s sole response. He then put his hands on his waist before saying, “Those who
were still aware enough to speak denied having any knowledge of the drugs. All they told the police
was that it was handed to them by that b*stard from the Poole Family, whereas that b*stard was still
unconscious when I left. He might very well have had his head stuck in his own *ss.”
John cast Logan a glance while asking, “Did you offend anyone lately?”
The question was met with a bitter smile from Logan. “You sure pinned me in a hard spot with that
question. I already lost count of how many people I offended.”
