The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1031

Sophia turned over and rested her head on John’s arm. “If Isabelle wants to leave her family, this is the perfect chance for her.”

After some deliberation, John remained silent and pulled her into his embrace. Maybe I should look for Isabelle and ask her about it. However, she doesn’t seem to have the intention of leaving anytime soon.

For the following days, Sophia paid more attention to online news.

The leaders and business partners of the shadow bank were arrested, but they all claimed that they were clueless about the basement’s existence. They said that they merely rented the factory, which was then used as the base for the bank.

Since they were not in the business of producing anything, they didn’t attempt to inspect the entire building, as they just needed the factory to be their hideout to engage in their business. Therefore, they didn’t know why there was a basement beneath the factory, and they didn’t need one to operate their business.

Apparently, they had agreed on a common excuse beforehand. The police had no choice but to keep on investigating the case.

Judging from what she read online, Sophia concluded that there was little progress regarding the case for the time being.

Since she didn’t have much information at hand, it was practically impossible for her to analyze the case and come to any meaningful conclusion. However, she didn’t want to talk to John about this because he would always hide some information from her by telling her not to worry about this case.

Just when Sophia was frustrated, she decided to call Logan, who happened to be on a date. After she asked him what he was doing, she heard a woman inquiring, “Logan, do you want to eat this?”

Startled, Sophia fell silent.

Logan turned to the woman beside him and replied, “It’s alright. You can have it.”
