At the mention of that incident, Logan immediately fumed. “That pair of siblings… They’d better not
appear in front of me. I can’t hit Sally because I should not beat up a woman no matter how wretched I
am, but it’s different for Simon. I would smash him until he’s unrecognizable to his own dad.”
Ian did not add to Logan’s words, instead he focused only on Sophia. “Has your leg injury healed?”
She grunted and lifted her leg to take a good look. The injury was almost healed. Thankfully, the wound
was long but shallow. Scabs formed across the wound, but one would not notice it without taking a
careful look.
However, Ian appeared to be worried, and he squatted beside her with a hand on her ankle to check
her injury. Her soft and silky complexion made his heart flutter.
At lunch, Logan was excited, and the moment the dishes were served, he insisted that everyone took
out their phones to take photos to post on Facebook later.
He even remarked that they should coordinate and post the same photos. He must have been bored
out of his mind.
Normally, Ian would follow Logan’s wish as long as the instruction was not too bizarre. As for Sophia,
she was only entertaining Logan out of indebtedness from the birthday gift.
They each took a photo of the lunch from different angles and wrote the same captions before posting
the photos to their Facebook accounts. Logan seemed to be the happiest as he put down his phone.
“I’m sharing my life with my good friends. It feels nice.”

Sophia and Ian exchanged glances. Although Logan had always been the authority in the small
territory carved out for him, his social life was barren. He had no friends, and they wondered how he
had lived his life in the past.
Ian smiled and whispered to Sophia, “Let’s play along. He’s easy to entertain.”
She lifted a brow in amusement. It was true that Logan was easily entertained, just that he was quite
immature.
Here, Sophia was having lunch with Ian and Logan. On the other side, John had ordered takeouts to be
delivered to his company. Zack was off to help Sophia renovate her store, and John had to eat lunch
alone, which was why his lunchtime was wacky.
Even William had finished his lunch. When he passed by John’s office, he saw his son starting to eat
lunch and went in before standing in front of the table. “You must have been busy in the morning.”
John grunted. “There’s lots of preparation to be done for the collaboration.”
William dragged a chair over and sat down. “The Baileys appointed you to be in charge of the handover
for our collaboration. Sophia didn’t comment anything about it, did she?”
John was startled and confused by his father’s question. “No. What else could she say about it?”
William breathed hard and found it hard to explain. “The incident still lingers between you and Isabelle.
Your mom is biased toward her as well. When our companies collaborate, you will be meeting more
with Isabelle, so I’m just worried that Sophia would give you a hard time because of this.”
John smiled at him. “That’s not going to happen. Sophia is a sensible woman.”
John thought that Sophia would not create a fuss, and she had a more carefree attitude toward their
marriage, which was unexpected. The moment he brought up divorce, she immediately agreed to it.
When he requested that she played along as his wife for the moment, she would ask him for
compensation. She was not as difficult as what the Constances made her out to be.
William’s mind was running. “I heard that Infinity Group had been fined for tax evasion. Not only that,
their untaxed wealth was a shocking amount, hence I think that the fines would badly affect their
company and their reputation. After that, they may not recover from it. What do you plan to do with
Sophia?”
John knew what his dad was referring to. Now that Infinity Group was no longer a threat to their
company, he needed to start thinking about how best to reveal his divorce to the public. After all, it was
impossible for him and Sophia to play a couple and fake it in public forever.
