Sophia immediately interrupted Logan. “Logan, you need to tell me what’s going on first. I don’t really get it as the
news never explained anything specifically.”
Logan tutted. “I can’t believe you don’t understand it when even I managed to comprehend everything clearly.”
Then, he continued to say, “The Baileys’ shadow bank was reported with claims that they were doing illegal
transactions, so the police raided the place and found illegal stuff.”
Sophia urged him to go on. “What kind of illegal stuff?”
Logan chuckled. “Remember the last time Lola raided my place wanting to find that thing? That’s what they found
at the shadow bank.”
Sophia pondered for a moment before she gasped. Seriously? They are really audacious!
However, Logan went on to say, “But still, the shadow bank isn’t under the Baileys as they were only pulling the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtstrings from behind the scenes. The real perpetrators aren’t related to them at all, so it’s hard to drag the Baileys
through the mud even though it has been exposed.”
Sophia didn’t really understand the connection between all these, so she said, “Oh… If the shadow bank is gone,
what are you guys going to do with the Baileys after this?”
Logan contemplated things for a moment. “Although the shadow bank is gone now, the Baileys still have financial
dealings with them, so there will still be leads leading to them. It’s just that it will be hard to find them.”
All of the cash from the shadow bank was channeled to the Baileys through overseas accounts. Since the Baileys
had business overseas as well, it would be normal for them to have overseas transactions, so it would be hard to try
to pin the matter of the shadow bank on them.
Sophia ran her fingers through her hair. “So you’re saying that we need more time before we can take down the
Baileys completely, is that right?”
However, Logan chuckled again. “We can’t be sure, as there are also other variables that might affect the Baileys.”
Suddenly, Sophia recalled those things that Isabelle mentioned during the phone call on the previous day.
The variable that would affect the Baileys might actually be Isabelle.
After that, Sophia started chatting with Logan about Ian.
Logan hadn’t been contacting Ian as well, for the latter was still in the middle of a fierce competition, so he didn’t
want to bother him.
Still, he had heard that Lorraine had mentioned that Ian was doing great, and his votes were really high as he
managed to attract the crowd’s attention. Hence, it was definitely possible for him to come out victorious. When
Sophia heard what Logan said, she felt relieved. This proved that all of the efforts that Ian had made previously
didn’t go to waste, and he could finally walk with his head held high in the Morgan Family. However, Logan added,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Recently, there have been people exposing dirt on Ian, and most of them were about his origins.” It seemed like
his mother’s information was leaked. Still, Lorraine assured him that they had paid people to cover up the news the
moment it was leaked, but they couldn’t be sure if these information would be dug up again if Ian were to get even
more popular in the future. Sophia sighed. “Of course it would be. Which famous celebrity doesn’t have dirt on
them? Putting aside those meddlesome netizens, even his opponents would try to find dirt on Ian so that they can
oppress him.” This was something that every budding celebrity would have to go through. After this, Sophia hung
up as it was time for her to get out of bed, and Logan seemed like he was busy as well. Then, Sophia got up to
freshen up and went downstairs to eat her breakfast. Matilda had already arrived by now, and she was chatting
with Old Mrs. Constance downstairs. When she spotted Sophia coming down, she waved and greeted her. “Come,
come. The dishes are still warm, so you should eat your breakfast first.” After that, Matilda continued talking to Old
Mrs. Constance. “I’m not really sure, but everyone has been talking about it. The police went over to the Baileys’
place yesterday as there were claims that someone in their family went to the shadow bank before, but it’s
probably not related to them as there hasn’t been detailed news about it.”
