The Returning Ex Chapter 1048

After this, Ian would be able to debut and become a celebrity. By that time, he would have less time to contact Sophia, and this was the exact result that John wanted to see.

Logan came over to the Constance Residence to grab lunch and left along with John when the latter wanted to go to work.

When he drove down the hill and was reaching the entrance to the National Highway, Logan pondered on things for a moment before contacting Lola.

Lola was really annoyed by Logan as she snapped the moment she accepted his call, “Are you serious? Why did you call me again?”

However, Logan wasn’t angered at all as he went on to say, “Didn’t I tell you to have dinner together tonight—”

Before he could finish what he wanted to say, Lola immediately refused. “I said no. No means no. Why can’t you understand that?”

Logan tried to calm her down. “Can you at least let me finish my sentence? Tonight’s dinner won’t just be me and you; John will be heading over as well. The two of you talked so much during your last discussion, but it will be different this time as you two will be able to discuss things slowly. Can’t you be patient and just let me finish what I want to say?”

Lola paused when she heard that John was going, and she didn’t reject him outright this time.

Although Logan was happy that she hesitated, he felt awkward as well.

The idea that John’s position in her heart was so high that she immediately relented when his name was mentioned really unnerved him.

A while later, Lola agreed. “Alright. Tell me where you guys are heading tonight and I’ll go there right after I’m done with my work.”

Look at how she agreed so readily! Logan got even more pissed off, his annoyance showing in his voice when he said, “Just wait at your place and I’ll go pick you up.”

Then, he hung up and threw his phone onto the seat next to him before he spat, “How dare she look down on me!”

On the other hand, John just returned to his company.

When he was about to get out of his car and enter the company, his phone rang, but he paid no attention to it and started heading to the lobby before taking his phone out.

Immediately, he halted when he saw the caller ID.

After contemplating things for a moment, John accepted the call and Isabelle’s voice rang out.

However, Isabelle stopped talking right after she greeted him.

John frowned at that before he asked, “Do you need anything?”

Isabelle inquired, “Uhm… It’s about the things that we’ve investigated previously. How’s your progress right now?”

As a thought flashed through her mind, Isabelle added, “I’ve been busy recently as I need to send my Mom overseas, so I have no time to follow up on this. Now that I just got back, I wanted to call you and ask you about your progress.”

John almost laughed at that as he was very sure that Elder Mr. Bailey was standing right next to Isabelle right now. Did her grandfather not realize that I already knew about Isabelle’s imprisonment?

Did he really think that he could use such terrible excuses to fool me?

However, John still went along with Isabelle and answered, “Indeed. It has been a while since we last contacted each other. I figured that you’re probably busy as well.”

Then, Isabelle continued asking, “How is the investigation regarding the shadow bank?”

John grunted. “Just like that, I guess. Can’t you read the details posted on the Internet? However, I’m not taking credit for everything as the police force contributed a lot in this.” The other end of the call went silent, and John started walking toward his office before adding, “I’ll be hanging up if you don’t need anything else since I have to go work now.”

Immediately, Isabelle cried out, “Hold on! Wait! Don’t hang up! I need to tell you something.”

It sounded like she was terrified that John might hang up on her, so she hurriedly went on to say, “I’ve been thinking that since I’ve provided you with many leads regarding the shadow bank, can you stop getting involved in this case in the future? Since this case has already reached the police and they’re already investigating it now, can you drop it?”
