Before Isabelle could say anything, Sophia said, “If you want it, you can say it. I can give it to you if you want. It’s just a dress. No big deal.” She then told Joseph, “Mr. Ronald,
give this to Miss Bailey.”
The color drained from Isabelle’s face. They might be talking about the dress, but she knew what Sophia was saying. Of course, Mrs. Bailey knew it too, so she frowned. “What
do you mean ‘give it to her’? It’s not yours to begin with. Know your place. Taking what’s not yours never ends well. See? You’re already divorced.”
Sophia was going to let her temper flare, but Logan was quicker, for he calmly went to the mannequin and tore the black dress apart at the seams. Then, he arched his
eyebrow. “Yeah, it never ends well.” He arched his eyebrow. “For example, I might just ruin it.”
Joseph looked shocked, but he said nothing. Meanwhile, Logan chuckled. “If we can’t have this dress, then nobody can.”
That made Sophia chuckle. No wonder they say he’s a troublemaker. He was behaving like the day he rioted at the Morgan Residence. This is the real him.
Mrs. Bailey pointed at him, her hand trembling with anger, but Logan merely sneered at her. “Do you have anything else you like?” he asked Sophia.
There was another red dress beside. She thought it looked decent, so Sophia pointed her chin at it. “This one.” Then, she looked at Isabelle. “Do you like this one as well? I can
give it to you.”
Isabelle said nothing. If Sophia was alone, she wouldn’t have backed down, but Logan was here too. Everyone would avoid crossing him if they could, including her. She wasn’t

Since Isabelle was not saying anything, Sophia told Joseph, “Looks like Miss Bailey doesn’t like this. Pack this up for me then.”
Joseph quickly asked his staff to pack the dress, then Logan and Sophia went to pay for it. When the bill came, Sophia wanted to foot it herself, but that made Logan feel
insulted. “I’ve never let any woman foot the bill. Not on my watch.”
Sophia smiled. “Treat me to a meal then.”
Thanks to John, Sophia was a rich lady now. That guy’s really wealthy, Sophia thought. Before this, she thought her marriage with John was an unhappy one, but now she
realized she got something huge out of it. If it was in the past, she couldn’t have afforded this.
Logan was still disgruntled, for he thought that Sophia only agreed to attend the banquet because of him. If he let her pay for her own dress, it’d be an insult to his pride.
Hence, he pushed her hand down, refusing to let her pay. “No. You treat me to a meal, or you can cook something for me. We’ll be even then. There’s company here, so I
can’t back off on this no matter what.”
He’s referring to Isabelle and her mom, huh? At the same time, the Baileys came over, and Sophia kept her phone.
Isabelle came to pay for the dress she picked, ignoring Sophia. Meanwhile, Logan had also paid for the ruined dress, then he went past the Baileys, sounding delighted, much
to Mrs. Bailey’s chagrin.
