The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 971

Logan instantly kept his mouth shut, as the pain was so overwhelming that he could no longer act tough. Then, he let out a sigh and said, “I’ll give you a call when I’m done.” Before Sophia could respond, Logan immediately hung up the call. After that, he turned his attention to Lola and stopped struggling. “You don’t want to force me to get physical, so let go of me right now!”

Refusing to stoop to his level, Lola shoved him aside and sent him staggering a few steps backward. Upon keeping his footing, Logan adjusted his attire and gazed at the woman in disgust. “Look at yourself. Are you really sure that you’re a woman? I bet no man will ever set his eyes on you.”

Nonetheless, Logan quickly swallowed his words when he met Lola’s intimidating gaze since he wasn’t looking for a fight with her anyway. “There is a proposition that I’d like to make. I know you’ve been investigating a case that has something to do with illegal gambling, prostitution, and drug dealing. Considering how much you hate them, I have a lead for you that might help.”

Although she was no longer a law enforcer, Lola was still rather sensitive toward crime-related issues. She then stared at Logan and questioned him, “What’s wrong? You want to turn yourself in?”

Logan sniggered and replied, “Why would I do that? I’m a legitimate business owner.” Soon, he got himself a chair and sat down, crossing his legs. “I know a place where the people there are using their money-lending service as a facade to disguise their drug-dealing business. Besides, I have some evidence that can prove their financial hanky-panky. So, what do you say we work together?”

Nevertheless, Lola was unwilling to meet Logan’s gaze as she looked away from him. At the same time, she also felt a slight pain in her injured shoulder from overly exhausting it when she manhandled Logan a few moments ago.

Massaging her own shoulder, she swung her arm around and said, “Why would I accept your proposition when reporting about criminal activity is your civilian duty in the first place? Don’t tell me you have no idea about that at all.”
