Next One Is a Babe

Logan was aware of Lola’s flaws, but he played along by showing support for her. “I’m sure you’ll win after this round. Don’t worry! We can take our time.”

Sophia crossed her arms and stood by the door while she watched Logan cheering for Lola like a loyal dog. Although she was used to it, Sophia shook her head as she watched them. Love is a silent killer indeed. Logan no longer has the aura he once had—he doesn’t even dare to raise his voice in front of Lola nowadays.

Lola was just starting to get into the game. Being the newbie that she was, she placed her full focus on the game, and she didn’t realize the two figures standing by the door. The four people at the table didn’t realize their presence even after Sophia stood around for a long while. She had no choice but to walk over eventually. “How much have you won, boss?”

Logan raised his head and began to chuckle once he saw Sophia. “I’m about to lose my whole clubhouse.”

Lola seemed rather embarrassed by his comment. “It’s largely because I don’t know how to play the game. I haven’t won a single round so far.”

The dealers were pretty close to them, so they put on a helpless look as they took part in the conversation. “We’ve tried our best to let them win, but Mrs. Jefferson is just being too sweet to us.”

Both the dealers were sensitive and thoughtful enough to move aside since Sophia and John had arrived. They emptied out spaces at the table so that Sophia and John could join in. Sophia wasn’t very experienced in poker, but she was better than Lola, at least. Both Sophia and John agreed to join the game, and John started to shuffle the cards once they sat down.

They had a conversation over the game of poker. Logan told them that Ian’s plane would land at night and that he was probably in a flight right then. Logan added that Ian had brought his mother along.

Sophia was rather surprised to hear this. “It seems like Ian must be pretty close to his mother if he’s bringing her along.”

Logan nodded. “She’s his mother, after all. Ian isn’t a heartless man. I heard that he has been living with his mother throughout this period, and I believe that relationships can be mended if you give it time.”

“As long as he thinks that it’s worth it, I guess,” Sophia uttered with a nod. She recalled what she heard about the situation with the Morgan Family right after that. “I heard that Old Mr. Morgan is getting really ill. I doubt he’ll be able to survive his illness this time.”

Logan knew a little more about the news of Bryce’s illness. “I heard that Bryce’s family is willing to pay any amount in order to keep him alive. Sean might seem like a rather cold guy, but I guess he’s still pretty thoughtful in comparison to the other two b*stards. They just want the old man to die so that they can get their share of the money.”

“But for a family and a corporation as large as the Morgans, I’m sure Bryce would’ve prepared a will beforehand, right?” Sophia asked curiously.

Logan nodded. “He has a will, but I’m not sure what he wrote in it. The old man never liked Ian, so I don’t think he’d leave much for him. It’s good that Ian developed his own career pathway—at least he wouldn’t have to depend on his father.”

John wore a smirk on his lips, but he waited for Logan and Sophia to finish speaking before he spoke. “Bryce’s hospitalization was rather sudden. I think there’s something about it that doesn’t make much sense.”

Sophia and Logan didn’t think much about John’s comment. “That old man has done too many bad things in the past. Karma’s back for him, I guess,” Logan uttered.

John smiled once more. “The Morgans have their own family doctor. Do you think the family doctor’s just there for show?”
