Logan pouted. “We can’t be intimate, yet I can’t even kiss you now?”
Lola thumped him. “Lower your voice.” After saying that, she glanced out. “Why is she here? What did you all talk
about earlier?”
Actually, we didn’t talk about anything of significance. Logan hesitated for a moment. ”I think she probably came
over to worm her way into our good graces. After all, it was me who caused her son to lose his job, so she might be
afraid that I’d continue manipulating things to make life difficult for him.”
Returning to the room, Lola lay down. “Who’d be so free to bother him if he didn’t make trouble in the first place?”
Logan trailed after her. “You’re right.”
A while later, Mr. and Mrs. Hunt came in as well. Mr. Hunt entered the house with a long face, muttering, “What the
hell? Who did she think she was?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBehind him, Mrs. Hunt stroked his back. “Ah, just don’t take offense at someone like her. You know what their family
is like, no? Just pretend as though you hadn’t heard the pile of drivel she blathered this time. It’s not worth it to be
upset because of such a person.”
Lola wanted to go and inquire about the matter, but just as she was about to get up, Logan held her back down. “I’ll
go and check on them.” Then, he exited the room
“What happened, Dad? What did she say just now?” Mr. Hunt stomped over to the chair at the side. “She’s just like
a d*mn leech. Doesn’t she know to find the fault from Shawn himself if he isn’t doing well in his work? But no, she’s
adamant that someone must be putting obstacles in his path!” Logan’s brows knitted together. After that, Mr. Hunt
continued, “Do you know why she came over earlier? Passing by, my foot! She heard that we came back, so she
deliberately came to seek us out. Shawn went looking for a job some time ago, but no one wanted to employ him,
and he was rejected by several places. However, she didn’t consider the possibility of Shawn himself being less than
capable, or rather, his tarnished reputation being the reason. Instead, she pushed the blame on us, assuming that
we’d manipulated things behind the scenes to ensure that he can’t find a job.” All at once, Logan guffawed. I
thought she came to put in a good word for Shawn and implore me to show him mercy, but it turns out that I
underthought it. She has already placed the blame on me. He chuckled in exasperation. “I initially didn’t want to
take things too far, but she came and asked for it.” Mr. Hunt was also infuriated. “What bad luck that we bumped
into her when we came back!” “There’s no need to get up in arms with someone like her.” Logan tried to calm his
father-in-law down. “We’ll just straighten her up.” Considering Mr. Hunt’s temperament, he definitely would’ve said
not to take things too far in the past, but this time, he didn’t utter a single objection despite understanding what
Logan meant. It seemed that he’d truly been vexed by that old woman. After some time, Logan went out and made
a phone call in the courtyard. He said a few words, whereupon the person on the other end vowed that he’d ensure

At this, Logan chuckled. “This person is rather easy to handle, so you don’t need to spend too much effort. Just
make sure that he can’t get a job.” The person on the other end chortled as well. “I was thinking of having someone
beat him up, but since you said as much, Young Master Jefferson, I’ll do away with that.” Logan grunted. “That
coward isn’t worth you beating him up. He might pee his pants if you just threaten him for a bit.” They merely
chatted for a bit before hanging up. When he was done, Logan pivoted and went back to the house. Mr. and Mrs.
Hunt had gone to rest since they’d be visiting Lola’s grandmother’s grave in the afternoon, then making the return
trip right away. Going back to Lola, Logan had just lay down when she flipped over and hugged him around the
waist. “Who did you call just now?” “A young lady. We talked about something private,” Logan said, trying to tease
her. Lola harrumphed. “Who else besides me would take an interest in you considering your attitude?” As Logan
caressed her hair, he murmured, “Jasmine Xanthos took an interest in me.” At the mention of Jasmine, Lola stilled
for a moment. “Her taste was bad in the past, but it’s now back to normal.”
