Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 369

Sophia couldn’t help but wonder who would be so blessed to marry Logan.

After dinner, everyone gathered to sit around the garden as there were rattan chairs by the fish pond.

Supporting Old Mr. Jefferson, Logan slowly led him to take his seat, while the servants served tea.

Although it was evening, the sky wasn’t pitch black yet, so it was an enjoyable moment to sit around admiring the artificial hills, fountains, as well as the fishes in the pond.

In the past, Sophia thought that she had been living the life of Riley, but now, she realized she had yet to see the rest of the world.

Now, everyone was just chewing the rag.

Leaning against the chair, Lorraine said, “Actually, before that incident happened, the Bailey Family had contacted me once.”

Surprised, Logan was the first to react. “What? Why did they call you?”

Lorraine chuckled. “What else? They called to seek an opportunity for a collaboration. To be honest, I felt they weren’t really sincere because ultimately, the core of our business is very different from the Baileys' business. If I’m not wrong, they intend to contact Lydia through me.”

The second Young Lady, Lydia Jefferson, was in charge of the overseas market sales. From the looks of it, the Bailey Family intended to expand their business overseas.

With a snort, Logan grumbled, “The Baileys have just started a business relationship with the Constances, and now they are approaching our family? How daring of them.”

Giggling softly, Lorraine continued, “A few days later, that incident over the Internet happened. Since then, the Baileys have not contacted me.”

Gazing toward Sophia, she said, “Then again, even without that scandal, I don’t reckon our family will work with the Baileys.”

At that, she let out a long sigh. “In terms of business partners, I prefer to work with people that are kindred souls. As for the Baileys…” She shook her head. “No can do!”

Out of curiosity, Sophia asked, “Why not?”

Lorraine cast a glance at Sophia, saying, “The Baileys are not honest folks. About the recent scandal, didn’t you notice that the news was somewhat stirred intentionally?”

Previously, Sophia had heard from Logan—Isabelle had hired paid posters to bombard the Internet with messages.

Hearing that, Sophia pursed her lips and didn’t utter a word.

With a grin, Lorraine said, “After all, the Baileys and the Constances did agree on the arranged marriage, but it was eventually called off because of you. So, it is no surprise that they were unhappy about it.”

One of the scariest things to have in life was probably an uncontented heart. If one didn’t feel content, they could be so blinded to an extent that they might even get their hands on something which they didn’t even like.

What was the point of insisting if it only brought harm to oneself and affected people around?

“Which is why I said, the Baileys and I are not kindred spirits, so I prefer not to do business with them,” Lorraine concluded.

Slowly nodding her head, Sophia said, “I see now.”

Meanwhile, Old Mr. Jefferson was chatting with Ian and mainly asking about the recent happenings in the Morgan Family.

In a reserved manner, Ian briefly said that he was still quite new to the company and there was still a lot to learn. As for within the Morgan Family, everything seemed harmonious.

Taking a gander at Ian, Lorraine lowered her voice to speak with Sophia. "If Ian wishes to seek another path in life, participating in the talent show will be a good option. After all, it gets more difficult to remain in the Morgan Group over the long run.”

Gazing at Ian, Sophia agreed, “Indeed, it’s not easy for him.”

After a long chat with the Jeffersons, the sky had turned dark, so Sophia and Ian decided to make a move.

Initially, Logan wanted to leave together, but he was grabbed by Lorraine by the collar. “When was the last time you spent the night here? Don’t just drop by and leave all the time. You should stay around to accompany Dad more often.”

Gnashing his teeth, Logan dared not say another word.

With that, Lorraine asked the driver to send Ian and Sophia home.
