Amused, Dylan laughed out loudly. “No, it won’t. You have to be more confident than that.”
Staring at them, the look in John’s eyes turned stone cold.
In the lounge, Logan was woken up halfway in his sleep. Cursing as he struggled to get up, he sounded extremely
disgruntled when he answered the call. “What’s going on? Why are you calling me when I’m sleeping?”
It was his subordinate who had called, saying that someone reported his clubhouse again, and the police were
there now.
Sitting crossed-leg with his eyes closed on the bed, he cursed, “That damned b*tch Leah must be looking for
trouble.” He opened his eyes and jumped off the bed. “I’ll be right over now.”
Stepping out of the lounge in wobbly steps, his eyes were bloodshot when an attendant hurriedly came over to
check on him, asking if he needed any assistance.
After leaning against the wall for a long while, Logan finally recalled where he was at. “Get me Sophia. I need to see
her.”
The attendant knew who Sophia was; just earlier, she had drawn an auspicious lot for Kate and instantly became
well-known. Without further ado, he rushed to Kate, who was still holding Sophia’s hand and showering her with
praises.
Embarrassed by the praises, Sophia felt as though she had run into a savior when the attendant came saying that
Logan was looking for her. Immediately, she told Kate, “My friend had too much to drink. I have to go and check on
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthim now.”
Kate nodded reluctantly. “Alright, go ahead.”
Standing up, John announced, “I’m coming with you.”
Before Sophia could turn him down, he already dragged her by the arm toward the exit. His movements were so
quick that even Isabelle, who wanted to tag along, didn’t have the chance to express her intentions.
Isabelle’s lips pressed into a tight line, and she sighed. Well, I did achieve something today. By acting a little pathetic
today, John’s attitude toward me seems to have improved.
When they left the banquet hall, John finally released her. “You’re not done yet. Tell me, who’s the guy you like?”
Snorting, Sophia said, “It’s none of your business.”
“I just want to know out of curiosity,” he answered rather calmly.
Sophia pursed her lips, thinking, So I’m supposed to tell you anything you wish to know? Are you serious?
When he didn’t receive a reply after a while, he prompted with another question, “Is it Dylan?”
Jerking her head to look at him suddenly, she exclaimed, “Are you sick? Go to a doctor if you’re sick instead of
going around and making people uncomfortable.”
John nodded knowingly. “If it’s not Dylan, then it must be Ian?” It can’t possibly be Logan.
After a couple of steps, she replied, “Yeah, it’s Ian. Who else but him?”
Her answer stopped him in his tracks, but she ignored him and continued in the direction of the reception hall. John
hesitated but decided to keep up with her. “You like Ian? Are you saying that on purpose to piss me off?” he asked in
a close whisper when the attendants passed by them.
Giving him another look of disbelief, she uttered, “Why would I do that? I think you overestimate yourself. You’re not
worth it at all, really.”
The sarcastic look on her face when she said it made it look like she really didn’t care about his feelings at all, and it
did more than just a stab at his heart. He felt that he still had some unanswered questions, but he didn’t know what
to ask all of a sudden. Now, regardless of what he asked her, she would just give a merciless and unpleasant reply.
On the other hand, Sophia couldn’t care less about him as she walked into the reception hall briskly. At the foot of
the staircase, she called out, “Logan!”
In the bathroom upstairs, Logan washed his face and rushed downstairs when he heard her call his name.
