Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 349

Sighing soundlessly, John retracted his gaze. Isabelle, on the other hand, pursed her lips, swallowing the words she initially wanted to say.

When the Baileys’ car had driven off, William and John headed back to the office. While walking, William said, “See whether there’s room for discussion with Sophia. It’s originally nothing too difficult, but your mother went over and assaulted her, aggravating the entire matter.” I wonder whether Sophia will be averse to this mess after the episode earlier. If so, it won’t be an easy task to ask for her help anymore.

Only when the two of them had entered the elevator did John reply, “I’ll talk to her later. She’s actually quite a reasonable person.”

William murmured an acknowledgment. Subsequently, he ordered in mild exasperation, “Don’t entertain your mother for the time being. Her attitude truly needs to be tempered. We’ve been too indulgent with her all these years that she hasn’t grown at all, her brains regressing from day to day.” John merely stared at the electronic screen in the elevator, watching as the numbers went up. His brows slowly creased, yet he said nothing, seemingly agreeing with William.

Meanwhile, Sophia lay on the bed and slept before she was groggily awakened by Logan’s phone call. She fumbled for her cell phone and glanced at the caller ID. Only when she’d ascertained that it was someone she knew did she answer the call. “Logan.”

“Are you awake? Where are you? Why don’t you come over to my place?” Logan was probably bored.

Sophia flipped over. “Nope, I want to sleep at home.”

At this, Logan smacked his lips. “I just knew that you’d say this. Don’t sleep anymore. Here, I’ll tell you something interesting.”

Sophia blinked. “Something interesting? What else could be more interesting than my issue now?”

Exclaiming in protest, Logan countered, “I’m serious. I’m not lying to you. Let me tell you, it has something to do with the Morgan siblings.”

Stunned, Sophia slowly sat up. “Simon and Sally Morgan?”

“Yup.” Enthusiasm flooded Logan. “Remember that you were once injured at Morgan Residence? Your man…” He abruptly stopped, knowing that he’d misspoken. Chuckling dryly, he hurriedly changed his tune. “I mean, your ex-husband, John. Perhaps he wanted to avenge you, so he had someone investigate Simon and Sally Morgan. These two rat b*stards want to secure Morgan Group, so they had under-the-table dealings with the company’s senior management, offering and accepting bribes. Well, you know what I mean. Besides, they even made several personal investments outside in the company’s name. The loss was borne by the company, while the gain went into their pockets. Say, shouldn’t such heinous creatures be persecuted?”

After a moment’s deliberation, Sophia asked, “John had someone investigate this?”

After a moment’s deliberation, Sophia asked, “John had someone investigate this?”

Logan sighed. “Yes, it was John. I think he was angry that Sally Morgan injured you that day, so he wanted to avenge you. However, it’s now inconvenient for him to act personally since he’s plagued with problems, so he handed the evidence to me. Actually, it makes no difference if I act. Since you’re now scandal-ridden, it’ll be bad to drag you into this matter, so I’ll just teach these two reprobates a lesson on the pretext of helping Ian out.”

Sophia mulled it over for a while. “But how is it possible that the Morgans are unaware of Simon and Sally Morgan’s illicit dealings? They should be aware, no?” Putting aside the issue of whether Bryce Morgan and Leah Zimmerman know about this, Sean Morgan couldn’t possibly have missed it. Now that the company is in his hands, it’s impossible that he didn’t notice them doing such a thing right under his nose.

Logan snorted. “Sean Morgan is probably aware of it, but he doesn’t want to expose it himself. He’s actually very smart. While he dislikes Leah Zimmerman, he’s avoiding having a head-on confrontation with those three people.”
