The Returning Ex Chapter 1054

After hearing that news, Sophia felt relieved for Ian, knowing that he would be able to free himself from the Morgan Family’s clutches once he got off to a good start in his career. Soon, she was reminded of a few others in the Morgan Family, so she gazed at Logan and asked, “What about the other few of them in the Morgan Family? Do you have any news about them?”

That’s a good question. I almost forgot about Ian, let alone those few others from the Morgan Family. Logan shook his head. “Nope, not much. While Sally is going to be free again, the last time I heard about Simon was that he got locked away by Bryce as punishment. Anyway, that brat needs to learn his lesson, or he is going to go around wreaking havoc when he gets older.”

Sophia responded with an affirmative grunt and a nod. “It looks like life hasn’t been easy for the Morgan Family as well.”

Logan then turned around and gazed at Lola. “Tell your friends in high places to investigate the Morgan Group. I’m totally sure that something is off about that company. After all, nobody’s hands are clean in there.”

Lola looked at Logan in a disgusted manner. “Worry about yourself, dude! If I were you, I’d clean up all the mess my club leaves behind first.”

Upon hearing that, Sophia couldn’t help but laugh at Logan, amused at the fact that no one else had ever rendered Logan speechless in an exchange of repartee besides herself. In the meantime, John seemed to be laughing as well while shaking his head helplessly. “Come on! Logan, you rarely give in so easily.”

Logan stretched his neck and said, “I’m just holding back because I don’t want to stoop her level, man! If I lose my cool, things are going to turn ugly. By then, she is going to be scared to death.”

Lola sneered and mocked him. “Oh yeah? Come on! I dare you! Scare me to death right now!”

While Sophia couldn’t help laughing in amusement, Jasmine appeared rather indifferent. There seems nothing wrong between Logan and Lola, but why do I have a strange feeling that there is more than meets the eye? After glancing across everyone, Jasmine’s eyes eventually fell upon Lola as she sized her up.

As Sophia talked with Lola, she noticed Jasmine’s probing eyes. At that moment, she paused and asked, “What’s wrong, Miss Xanthos? You don’t like the food?”

Soon, Lola turned her attention to Jasmine as well. “If you’d like to eat something else, you can always order again.” In fact, Lola was rather insensitive toward such tiny matters regarding relationships since she had been dealing with criminals, suspects and victims for most parts of her life. Nonetheless, she had been watching every word that came out of her mouth ever since Logan said those words. Therefore, she tried to express her disgust toward Logan so that Jasmine wouldn’t misunderstand their relationship.

Jasmine smiled in embarrassment. “Oh, the dishes are great. It’s just that I had a hefty breakfast this morning, so I’m not really hungry right now.”

Without reading too much into her words, Logan echoed Jasmine’s words and replied, “Come on! She is a grown adult, so quit worrying about her. Something must be wrong with her if a grown woman can’t take care of herself.”

Sophia was helpless upon hearing Logan’s reply. Oh jeez! How could he say that?! I guess Logan should stay single for his whole life so that no other innocent ladies would suffer from his blockheadedness.

Jasmine pursed her lips, nodding with a wooden look on her face. “Yeah, I’m good. I can manage myself. Don’t worry about me, guys!”
