Bryce’s inheritance was probably a huge one. Leah would be devastated after losing that much money, and Cindy knew why they weren’t opening the door. Reasoning with a madman was futile, for insanity would only drive someone to the deepest depths of hell. The only way to deal with someone who had lost all rationality was to ignore them. Cindy looked at Ian. “Are we really just going to let them do as they please? The neighbors are gonna complain.”
Leah’s knocking was really loud. Ian thought it was disrupting, and even the neighbors would think that it was noisy.
Ian placed his phone on the shoe rack and put his hands in his pocket. He looked relaxed and nonchalant about the situation. “Let her do what she wants. Logan’s men are coming soon.”
Aurora felt more at ease, but she was starting to get some ideas about kicking Leah’s butt. “I think Logan’s a bit of a careless guy. I wonder how he’s going to handle this matter.”
Ian hadn’t spent too much time with his mother, but Aurora wore her heart on her sleeve, so Ian knew what she was trying to say even without her being too straightforward about it.
Ian smiled. “Don’t worry about it. She has long been getting on Logan’s nerves. If he gets his hands on them, they won’t be laughing anytime soon.”
Cindy laughed as well. “You can give them some ideas, Aurora. Tell them how to teach those guys a lesson.”
Aurora chuckled. “It would be unbecoming of me if I actually did that.”
After all, she was largely unrelated to Leah. She was a part of Bryce’s past, while Leah was a part of his present. The only connection between them was Bryce’s inheritance and Ian’s conflict of interest with Leah.
Even so, it’d look bad if she stepped in. She had no grounds to interfere with anything related to the Morgans. She had abandoned Ian for far too long. Even if she was doing it for him, the public would still find it unacceptable.
Ian patted her shoulder. “Logan’s not as innocent as you think. That guy is a trickster. He knows every trick you can think of and more.”
“Oh, I see. Well, that makes me feel much better then. Time to sit down and watch the show unfold.”
Leah had left a bad impression on Aurora, so she wanted to see Leah down in her dumps. No, it was not because of her relationship with Bryce. Instead, it was because of how they treated Ian, and how Simon made up nonsense about Ian in that smear campaign. Those incidents alone proved that Leah and her children were evil and deserved to be punished.
The three of them chatted happily, ignoring Leah and her children, who were still standing outside.
Simon and Sally remained silent all the time, and they stood beside their mother, waiting patiently.
In the end, one of the neighbors finally couldn’t take it anymore. He came out and asked them rather unhappily about what they were doing.
Simon finally spoke at that moment. He turned around and told the neighbor, “We’re not here for you. Why did you even come out anyway? Just go back, chump. Don’t get in our way.”
The neighbor was a slightly older man. He was about to give Simon a piece of his mind, but his family came out and dragged him back in. Apparently, they did not want to get into a fight with someone like Simon.
Ian heard what happened, and he shook his head. He’s still not changing his attitude even at this point? Once Bryce passes away and Sean kicks him out of the house, he’ll know how harsh society can be. Simon was born in a rich family and had never gone through any hardships before. Obviously, a grim future awaited him if he didn’t change his attitude.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
