The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 1166

Then, he turned his attention to Elder Mr. Bailey and strode toward him. Raising his hand, he delivered slap after

slap on his face as he displayed his roguish attitude. “How dare you drug me, old man! You must be tired of living

after living for so long!”

Next to them, John rubbed his nose and looked the other way; the scene was a little joyous to him.

Elder Mr. Bailey looked at Logan with daggers in his eyes, as he didn’t think that he would have zero respect for him

and act like a thug with him.

Spitting on the floor, Logan scowled, “What are you glaring at, old man? Listen here, others might be afraid of you,

but not me! Just you wait, damn old man.”

Unable to stand by and watch any longer, Lola nudged him and said, “Forget it, let the police here handle this.”

Later, a few of the policemen came over and checked on her. “Are you alright?”

Smirking, she answered, “I’m alright, actually.”

The police nodded. “You made another merit again.”

It was obvious that this was one of her old colleagues, and his face turned grim when he faced Elder Mr. Bailey.

Neither humble nor pushy, Elder Mr. Bailey stood with his back stick straight. Actually, he did have some regrets at

this point, but not for anything he planned for today. Rather, he regretted letting Old Mr. Bailey in charge of some

details.

If he had personally arranged everything himself, the situation wouldn’t have turned out as it did now. Take the four

bodyguards who were beaten to the ground, for instance. They were obviously not cut out for the job and didn’t

even do that much before they were trashed.

What a bunch of good-for-nothing, he lamented. It seemed like his son had simply grabbed four men from the

streets and was too simple-minded, thinking that he wouldn’t be implicated if he had hired temporary help from the

outside and if things turned sour. However, he didn’t consider that if things crashed and burned with these four

men, the entire Bailey Family would also be thrown under the bus. In addition, when Lola was kidnapped from their

residence, he had wanted to take a look at the situation. If he had taken a look at that point, he would have noticed

that John had swapped away Sophia in the dark. As it turned out, Old Mr. Bailey was overconfident in his abilities

and told him that there was no need to check it out because his subordinates had taken care of it appropriately.

Moreover, John had his eyes on both of them, and it would rouse his attention if one of them were to leave the

scene. In the end, he trusted him and went along with everything he said. Letting out a deep, long sigh, he deplored

silently, I have to admit that I’m old and getting tired. If this happened when I was a young man… And now, John

had resolved everything like a piece of cake, and it left Elder Mr. Bailey feeling like he had given him a tight slap

across his face. For the most part of his life, he had braved through storms, and he was unwilling to accept that he

was defeated by this incident. In the meantime, Sophia was seated in the car for a long while before seeing people

buzzing out of the dilapidated farmhouse. The first to be brought out was Elder Mr. Bailey, of course, and he walked

with his usual air of arrogance about him, as though he was a supervisor coming to make the rounds. This old man

is still not forgetting his pride even at this time. Sophia got out of the car and scanned at the back of the crowd to

find John, Logan, and Lola. Running toward them, she asked, “Are you okay? Is everyone alright?” Taking her into his

embrace, John answered, “Yeah, we’re all fine.” With an arm around Lola, Logan added, “We’re fine as well.
