That woman always brings bad luck to me. The car crash happened because I was thinking about her! Logan thought.
After they returned to the school, Jasmine opened the door and asked him, “Are you free tonight? Do you want to go shopping with me?” She was trying to ask him out on a date.
With a frown, Logan pondered on it for a moment and replied, “I’ll see if I have the time. I’m not sure yet. There are many things I have to do today.”
The expectancy in her gaze slowly faded as she said, “I see. If you’re free tonight, just give me a call.”
After a grunt, Logan stepped on the gas pedal without waiting for her to enter her school compound.
The chauvinist Logan then returned to his clubhouse, but John and Lola had left. Standing in the hall, he stared at the couches where John and Lola were seated as he felt aggrieved. Why did they leave without informing me?
In the evening, Logan went to Lola’s house instead of looking for Jasmine.
At that time, Lola had just finished her dinner, so she was surprised to learn that Logan had arrived at her apartment. After going downstairs, she glared at him and asked, “Why are you here?”
Logan had become bolder after consuming some alcohol, therefore he exclaimed, “You’re such a jinx!”
Not understanding what he was trying to say, Lola scoffed. “Look for your girlfriend if you’re drunk. Why are you making a scene here?”
Logan edged toward her and made an accusation. “You’re the one I’m looking for. If it weren’t for you, the car crash wouldn’t have happened.” He then clenched her shoulders and continued, “It’s all because of you—”
Before he could finish his accusation, Lola grabbed his wrists and twisted them, which caused Logan to whirl around and his arms to be restrained behind his back. Following that, she pressed her elbows against his back.
The unsuspecting Logan then yelled, “You’re such a treacherous woman! How could you attack me when I wasn’t prepared? Let go of me, and we’ll fight fair and square!”
Since Lola had just had her meal, she had no intention of wasting any of her energy on him. After pushing him away, she chided, “Are you crazy? I have no time for you. Get lost!”
Logan yelled and strode toward her in an attempt to stop her, but she had rushed into the passageway.
Stopping in his tracks, Logan gazed at her figure. A moment later, he chuckled. “She’s scared off. She’ll see how I’ll fix her the next time we meet.” After stepping out of the residential area in unsteady steps, he hailed a taxi and returned to his clubhouse.
Upon getting back to her home, Lola went to the balcony and looked down. Seeing as Logan was nowhere in sight, she let out a breath. That guy is so troublesome.
The shadow bank that had been busted previously was searched another time, and the news made it to the headlines.
It was reported that there was a basement beneath the bank where an adult male leg bone was found. Hence, a murder might have taken place in the bank before.
For the time being, the police hadn’t figured out whose leg bone it belonged to, and they were still trying to locate other parts of the skeleton around the shadow bank.
When Sophia awakened from her sleep and read this piece of news, she was surprised. A human bone has been found at the bank. Perhaps this is just a small part of the crimes those from the bank have committed. If we can find any evidence from the bank that can be used against the Baileys, they will be in trouble.
