Although Sophia didn’t know much about Logan’s driver, she figured she could trust him since Logan did. However, she had other concerns. “Isn’t it bad if we raise a ruckus in public? Why don’t we lure him to the parking lot where there are less people? Logan, instead of coming over to us, tell your driver to wait at the parking lot.”
Matilda couldn’t help but worry. “How should we lure him? Are you planning to act as bait? You’d better not do that, as I won’t know what to tell John if anything happens to you.”
Chuckling, Sophia said defiantly, “If it ever comes to that, all you have to do is act out like how your previous self did.” With that, Sophia stood from her seat. “Logan, stay put and observe the situation from here.” Upon saying so, Sophia reached for Matilda’s arm, so the latter had no choice but to go along with her plans.
They left the dessert shop together. As soon as they did so, the man who was searching for something stopped in his movements out of surprise, which made it apparent that he was indeed looking for them. Without sparing him a glance, both Matilda and Sophia headed for the lifts with their bags in hand, whereas the man followed behind them after lowering his cap.
Meanwhile, Logan wore a cold expression while standing up to follow the man, who was so focused on Sophia and Matilda that he didn’t notice he was being tailed as well. While Sophia and Matilda took the lifts, the man opted to go down the stairs, whereas Logan went downstairs on another lift. They soon arrived at the parking lot in the basement, after which Sophia and Matilda continued to walk at a leisurely pace, while the man caught up to them from behind.
Initially, he kept his distance, but upon noticing that there weren’t a lot of people around, the man hastened to get to Sophia. Meanwhile, both Sophia and Matilda were paying close attention to what was going on behind them. Matilda was so nervous that her palms were all sweaty, while her heart raced. She was also holding so hard onto Sophia’s arm that the latter nearly cried out in pain.
Scanning her surroundings, Sophia saw Logan’s driver after walking for some time. She had an impression of him as she used to see him during her multiple visits to Logan’s clubhouse. Upon noticing Sophia, the driver also saw the man who was tailing her, so he began to walk over to them.
Perhaps it was because of the noise of his movements, the man saw Logan’s driver as soon as he started walking, which prompted the man to stop in his tracks. With someone else around, the man realized it wouldn’t be the best time to make a move. Gritting his teeth, he stared at Sophia’s figure begrudgingly as he was so close to succeeding in his scheme.
Focused on the sight before him, the man didn’t notice Logan coming at him from behind. Although he was usually more of a lackadaisical character, Logan was dependable when the situation called for it. Upon noticing a pause in the man’s movements, Logan caught up to the man in strides and gave him a kick behind his knees before the man could react.

Due to him having his guard down, the man kneeled onto the ground from the force of the impact, while Logan gave him another kick on the shoulder to send him lying flat on the ground. Meanwhile, Logan’s driver stepped in to pin the man down by twisting his arm behind him, whereas Logan stepped on his back. “You b*stard, why are you sneaking around?”
The man groaned while turning his head. “I did nothing! Who are you? And what are you doing?”
Sophia and Matilda were watching from beside, while Matilda could feel her heart pounding like crazy. “Could it be that we made a mistake?”
However, Sophia cried out to Logan, “Check his phone!”
