Sophia clutched the phone tightly and regulated her breathing as she replied in a weary voice, “Do you want to head over here instead? I’m back at the Constance Residence. Just now, on my way to your place, I almost got into an accident.”
Matilda was shocked and hurriedly checked with her what had happened. “You almost got into an accident? What accident? How are you now?”
At the same time, John still had to leave in a hurry to investigate the incident. Thus, Sophia merely waved at him and shifted her focus back to Matilda. “Just now, someone chased after my car. Those people could be after me, but thankfully we got rid of them at the end.”
Despite Sophia’s breezy explanation, Matilda started to feel a chill down her spine and she quickly asked, “Where’s John? Does he know about this?”
Sophia replied, “Yes, he knows about it. He drove me home just now, and he was so scared.”
Feeling extremely worried, Matilda said, “Wait for me at home. I’ll be there soon.”
With that, she hung up on Sophia. Then, Sophia let out a long sigh and placed her hands on her belly; the aftershock still lingered around her. Those people are really psychopathic! How could they bring themselves to do that? After panicking for a while, she suddenly felt rage building in her. Those animals probably knew about her pregnancy. Even so, her pregnancy did not stop them from harming her. What a bunch of barbarians.
Upon giving it some thought, she took out her phone and made a call to Logan, which he picked up at lightning speed. From his tone, she could tell that he was still feeling the high from last night, for he still sounded pretty happy when he said, “Sophia, what’s up? Do you miss me?”
She was not in the mood to entertain his shenanigans, so she cut to the chase. “Logan, I have something to talk to you about.”
When he heard her, he paused for a bit and his tone changed. “What’s the matter? You sound serious. Did anything happen?”
She briefly updated him about the car chase just now, to which he was shocked and hurriedly asked, “Are you okay now? Did you get injured?”
Sophia replied, “I’m fine now because we managed to free ourselves from the chase. John is now investigating the information behind the two cars. Logan, I have a personal favor to ask from you—I want to know if this incident is related to the Baileys.”
Even though she was being vague, Logan could tell what she was after. She probably wanted to ask him if this incident was related to Isabelle Bailey. Thus, he immediately replied, “Sure. I’ll send someone to look into it. Let’s see if it’s done under the orders of that b*tch.”
Feeling complicated, Sophia somehow felt that this incident was not something that Isabelle was capable of doing. Even so, there was a slight possibility that she had provoked Isabelle to a breaking point, and coupled with Dexter’s death, Isabelle lost control of herself and acted on the grudges between her and Sophia.
Logan inquired, “Did you share your suspicion with John?”
She answered, “No. Logan, I’ll be honest with you. I keep feeling that my suspicion is wrong, but if I don’t test it out, I would feel dissatisfied. That’s why I want your help to look into it. As for John, I don’t want to mislead him with my unverified suspicion.”
Logan grunted in agreement. “Alright, got it. Don’t sweat about it. I’ll definitely look into this matter. Whoever dares to harm you is stepping over me as well. She’d better be prepared to be torn into pieces!”
Feeling touched, Sophia cheered up and she expressed her gratitude. “Logan, thank you.”
He clicked his tongue and said, “There’s no need for ‘thank yous’ between us!”
The call didn’t go on for very long. After that, Sophia heard the sound of Matilda’s footsteps from the stairs.
