Sophia grunted and fell silent.
Initially, Logan was uncomfortable being with Matilda, for he wasn’t close to her. Moreover, there was a generational gap between them. However, poker was a good game to bring people together.
After playing the game and chatting with each other for a while, the atmosphere slowly became warm. Gazing at his cards, Logan said, “Madam Flintstone, watch out. I’m about to win the game.”
Unperturbed, Matilda replied teasingly, “You should be the one watching out instead. I’ve won many rounds thanks to your contributions.”
Logan guffawed. “You’re right. I didn’t expect that you’re so skillful at playing poker. Please come here often when you’re free because a competitive rival like you is hard to come by.”
Unable to take it anymore, Sophia refuted, “Stop flattering yourself since you’re lousy at this game. Normally, your friends would let you win because if you lose, you’ll pester them incessantly to keep playing. They have no choice but to lose intentionally. Trust me, it has nothing to do with your poker skills. I’m speaking the truth.”
The servant, who was asked to play with them, giggled. “Miss Gwendolyn, you shouldn’t be so straightforward.”
Logan froze as his eyes widened. “Alright, you have successfully ignited my fighting spirit! No one shall leave this place before you can beat me to this game!”
Sophia and Matilda traded glances, obviously disdainful of his poker skills.
The truth was, Logan was really lousy at the game. After he said those bold words, he kept losing the game until he was left red-faced.
Seeing how embarrassed he was, Sophia chuckled. “Logan, will you be traumatized after this? Do you want us to let you win?”
Staring at him, Sophia said, “Logan, go ahead if the matter is urgent. Judging from your current state, I don’t believe that it’s really nothing.”
Logan grunted. “It’s really no big deal. It’s just that someone got into an accident and was sent to the hospital. I’m just wondering why such a thing happened.”
Sophia was startled. “Someone is hospitalized? It’s a serious matter. If you’re worried about the person, just go over there. You don’t have to stay here for us. Since we’re close friends, I won’t mind it. We can keep on playing on our own.”
Logan smacked his lips and grinned. “Why should I be worried? The person isn’t a friend of mine. I’m just surprised that this happened to the person.”
After giving it a thought, Sophia put down her cards. “I think you should go. We don’t feel triumphant at all since you keep losing. Just go and pay the person a visit.”

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...
