It was expected that John had his own consideration in whatever he did, so Lola could understand him. After a halt,
she said, “I still have to thank you. No matter what your motive is, you’ve offered us great help.”
Seeing this, Logan was displeased as she was polite to John, whom she had met only a few times, but she was
glacial to him even though he was the one helping solve her problems and giving her leads. How can she do this to
me?
Oblivious to Logan, Lola was paying all her attention to John because he was the one who had the answers to her
questions, hence she voiced her doubts right away. She suspected that the real mastermind behind the shadow
bank hadn’t been found out yet.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf there was no mastermind who made these clever plans, the forces of the shadow bank, which were pretty
divided, couldn’t have been able to hide their wrongdoing so perfectly over the years.
The shadow bank wasn’t a well-known one in the country. If John never commenced an investigation into the bank,
it wouldn’t have caught the attention of the police.
Unwilling to reveal more, John nodded and said, “I’m sure there’s a mastermind behind this, but the different forces
within the bank must have played a role as well. We’ll keep on investigating this matter to get more information.”
With his lips pressed together, Logan darted his gaze between John and Lola. There were some things Lola never
told him last night, so apparently, she didn’t trust him fully. Displeased, he thought that she had underestimated
him.
However, Lola was oblivious to Logan’s feelings because she never paid any attention to him. Then, she started
telling John about the analysis from her discussion with Logan yesterday.
Hearing this, Logan was frustrated and glared at her.
“Didn’t we talk about this yesterday? Moreover, we had arrived at the same conclusion. Why are you retelling this
to John? Are you implying that you don’t trust my judgment, so you want to ask for John’s opinions?” Seeing as
Logan was speaking what was on her mind, Lola nodded. “Yeah. I don’t trust you. I think Mr. Constance’s analysis
will be more comprehensive and reasonable than yours.” What the heck! I can’t believe that she’s trying to brush
me off after all I’ve helped her with. I’ve never seen a woman so shameless before! His chest heaved in
exasperation as he glared at her and growled, “Alright! You’re showing your true colors now!” Lola didn’t care
whether Logan was incensed, so she continued discussing with John how they could get to the mastermind behind

seated together and voice their own clever opinions. However, it turned out that after Lola got closer to John, she
directly kicked him away. This wasn’t the situation he wanted to see. Gritting his teeth, he was waiting for a chance
when he could voice his opinion. When that time came, he hurriedly chimed in, “I think this problem can be solved
easily by—” Before he could finish his words, Lola interrupted, “You told me all about it yesterday, so you don’t have
to repeat yourself now.” Infuriated, Logan glowered at her, but she ignored him and went on to say, “Logan, you’ve
been a young master for all your life, so I’m sure you must be bored having stayed here for such a long time. I
think you can take a rest now as the two of us can settle this problem on our own.”
