Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 350


Logan actually wasn’t at all bothered about this. “Never mind, it’s fine. I’ll just let Sean Morgan reap the reward this time. He wants someone to expose this, so I’ll be the bad guy here. I’m not afraid. I don’t fear anyone.”

Sophia chortled. “Are you afraid of Lorraine, your third eldest sister?”

Young Master Jefferson was still arrogant a second ago, but the moment he heard this question, he instantly went silent. He indeed feared no one, but Lorraine was the exception. He was still afraid of her. After all, his other sisters had been giving in to him ever since young, but Lorraine pulled no punches when she went against him. It’s as though that woman is eager to kill me with a single misstep!

Upon seeing that he’d gone mum at her question, Sophia didn’t pursue it further. Instead, she cut to the chase, asking, “What’s the situation over at the Morgan Family?”

Coughing softly, Logan then answered solemnly, “I contacted Ian earlier, and he’s now at the office. However, Simon, Sally, and Sean Morgan have been summoned home. It’s probably Bryce Morgan who called them home, but this old geezer is the type to gloss things over, so he’ll probably just give them a slap on the wrist since there are no outsiders there.”

“Then, won’t your efforts have been in vain?” Sophia questioned.

“Not exactly.” Logan then continued, “I still have evidence of some other things done by those two rat b*stards which I haven’t made known. After they’ve muddled through this, I’ll then expose the next one, and so on. I don’t believe that old geezer won’t get angry no matter how good his temper is when incident after incident comes to light.”

At this, Sophia laughed. “You’re quite blackhearted, after all.” Just after she’d said this, her cell phone buzzed with a notification. She brought it down and glanced at it, only to see that there was a Facebook notification. She opened Facebook right away, only to guffaw in amusement. John actually sent me a friend request? Isn’t this man contrary? It was him who unfriended me back then, yet he’s now sending me a friend request.

She pretended as though she didn’t see it and exited the application. Then, she continued chatting with Logan about Morgan Family’s scandal. However, just after she’d said a few words, a phone call came in from John. Taken aback, she stared at her cell phone for half a day before telling Logan that she had to go since something cropped up. Logan lamented for a long time, but she ignored him and hung up right away.

After that, she answered John’s call. “Is something the matter?” Her voice was no longer as impatient as before.

John hummed in acquiescence. “I sent you a friend request on Facebook, but you haven’t accepted it.”

Upon hearing this, Sophia was tickled pink. “Why should I accept it? What are you trying to do by unfriending me back then yet sending me a friend request now?”

John heaved a sigh on the other end, seemingly exasperated. “I failed to consider it properly back then. I thought we won’t have anything to do with each other anymore, but—”

Murmuring an acknowledgment, Sophia then cut him off, asserting, “We indeed won’t have anything to do with each other anymore, so there’s no need to be friends on Facebook again.”

I’ve finally realized that her tongue is truly sharp. Besides, she seems to know the exact attitude she should exhibit to inflict the greatest pain on the other person. It’s truly vexing when she utters such a remark nonchalantly. No wonder Mom goes ballistic with just a few words from her! John went silent, and Sophia said nothing either. He was quite patient in the past, but he’d now grown impatient. At this moment, he became somewhat edgy and blurted, “Sophia, we’re not enemies.”

He couldn’t see her expression, so Sophia did her utmost best to make herself sound innocent. “I don’t regard you as an enemy.” At this, she chuckled. “I’m very grateful for everything you’ve done for me, but John, we really shouldn’t associate with each other anymore. I don’t regard you as an enemy. I merely want to regard you as a stranger.”
