The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 209

Logan snorted. “I don’t think so. I hate people who are scheming yet pretend to be innocent on the surface. When I see such a woman, I want to hurl…”

Sophia burst into laughter; her impression of Logan had improved a lot.

While waiting for the food to be served, Sophia asked Logan if he knew what was going on with the Baileys. She had never come across them, so she didn’t know much about them. It was only recently that she met Isabelle Bailey a few times.

Logan didn’t know their faces, but he knew their reputation very well, for he would play poker often, which was where he would often hear a lot of gossip.

“Elder Mr. Bailey is actually someone very impressive,” he said. “He’s the head of the Baileys right now, and he’s the one who calls all the shots. I heard that he holds John in high regards. He had once wanted to work together with the Constance Family, but…” Logan pursed his lips for a moment.

“This old man is very cautious. My guess is that he wanted to wait for John and Isabelle to get married, then talk about working together. If they didn’t have this relationship to protect them, the Baileys wouldn’t trust the Constances.”

They were all old foxes in the business world, so they would naturally be cautious. However, it was just that Elder Mr. Bailey didn’t expect just when he was close to his goal, an unpredictable factor kicked in, changing the whole outcome. No one had expected that a figure like Sophia would suddenly appear halfway.

Sophia thought for a while. “But I think Elder Mr. Bailey seems very interested in working with the Constances.”

Logan nodded his head. “He’s indeed very interested. I heard that the old man went to the Constance Company some time ago.”

That’s unusual, Sophia thought. Elder Mr. Bailey was someone who wanted nothing more than for everyone to kneel to him when they saw him, so this would probably be the first time that he had taken the initiative to go to someone else’s company on his own.

Logan crossed his legs and shook the slipper on his foot. “My guess is that it’s either the Bailey Corporation is having problems, or the Baileys themselves are having an internal problem, and the old man must be looking for a reliable partner. Naturally, the Constances, who owe the Baileys, are the best choice.”
