Sophia wasn’t certain whether Third Young Lady Jefferson was praising her or mocking her.
After that, Third Young Lady Jefferson continued, “Why isn’t Mr. Constance with you? Isn’t he worried
that you’re coming with my younger brother? You have to understand that he’s a brat who does all sorts
of bad things.”
Gazing at her, Sophia started to like her.
Although Third Young Lady Jefferson appeared to be indifferent, she was actually a humorous woman.
Meanwhile, the expressions of the Baileys were dark.
Old Mr. Bailey took a sip of the tea as his gaze turned gloomy.
There was no partnership between the Baileys and the Jeffersons, and their interests were not
intertwined.
They had come here because they wanted to make a move first to prevent anything bad from
happening.
However, it seemed that it was a failed attempt.
Gazing at Logan, Old Mr. Bailey wondered why a thug like him was so protective of Sophia, who didn’t
come from a prestigious family or graduate from a reputable university.
It certainly made them very upset.

Old Mr. Jefferson begot his son in his old age, therefore he always doted on him.
Shifting his attention between Logan and Sophia, he felt happy.
Logan only had a few friends and never brought them to such an occasion before. Old Mr. Jefferson
only knew two of his friends. Knowing his son full well, he was happy that someone was willing to
befriend him.
Gazing at Sophia, he asked, “Are you the daughter-in-law of the Constance Family?”
He had not listened to any gossip for years after he retired and entrusted the company to his children.
Sophia replied with a smile, “Yes, my husband is John Constance. He’s working for the Constance
Company.”
“I know John. He’s a good man who is close to Logan.” Old Mr. Jefferson giggled.
Logan chimed in, “I had dinner at their house a few days ago. The dishes prepared by Sophia were
delicious.”
Third Young Lady Jefferson commented coldly, “That’s quite an improvement. Finally, someone was
willing to let you into their house.”
Afraid of his older sister, Logan could only hiss at her without having the courage to refute her.
Old Mr. Jefferson kept nodding. “I like you very much, and you look perfect with John. Why don’t you
guys come to my house one day?”
“Sure.” Sophia beamed.
Staring at Sophia, Mrs. Bailey pressed her lips together and hated the fact that the young lady had
made a move before she did. Thanks to Logan, the Jeffersons were obviously fond of Sophia, which
would give the Baileys a hard time in the future.
After his conversation with Sophia ended, Old Mr. Jefferson quickly shifted his attention to the Baileys.
“Come on, I’ll introduce them to you. They are—”
“I know them. We met two days ago, right?” Logan grinned and continued, “We got to know each other
at a business dinner.”
Old Mr. Jefferson didn’t find Logan’s attitude problematic as he was just a little surprised. “Oh, it’s
wonderful that you already know each other.”
Hearing that, Logan snorted lightly, which caused Old Mr. Bailey to scowl.
He didn’t like Logan and never got into contact with him before, let alone forming any grudges with him.
However, Logan was obviously hostile toward the Baileys.
Old Mr. Bailey shifted his attention to Sophia. “Miss Gwendolyn, did you come with Logan on your
own? Why isn’t John with you?”
Sophia understood what he was trying to say. After all, she was a married woman, therefore it was
inappropriate that she followed another man to dinner.
