Unlike his latest arrest, Logan had always turned to Lorraine for help every time there was a spot check at his
clubhouse that put him in trouble. Nevertheless, Sophia deemed he brought this upon himself since he was the one
who went looking for trouble. While he was too ashamed to reach out to his sister for help, he called Ian a few
times, but to no avail, which he reckoned the latter must be having a hangover. Therefore, he had no choice but to
ask Sophia to help him out.
Needless to say, Sophia knew Logan was probably ashamed of himself, noticing his silence when she paid his bail.
Meanwhile, John sniggered with his eyes falling upon the club. “Is he wrecking stuff again in there?”
Sophia leaned back on his chair and said, “That’s none of my business. He can do whatever he wants to his own
property, so I’m going to just take a rest for now.” Nonetheless, Logan didn’t vent his anger out by wrecking stuff
but instead locked himself inside his own room.
While the waiter, who put an ear to the door, heard nothing but silence, Sophia and John showed up outside his
room a few moments later. Then, the waiter pointed at the room door and helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Upon
witnessing his reaction, Sophia smiled and knocked on the door. “It’s almost noon, Logan. Do you want to join us for
lunch? Come on, let’s have lunch together.”
Nonetheless, her words were met with silence. Soon, John came closer and asked, “Perhaps you could take your

Leaning against the door, Sophia tried to comfort her friend. “Come on! This is actually not much of a big deal.
You’ve always gone in and out of the police station anyway. The only difference is that I’m the one who bailed you
out this time instead of your sister.” She paused and asked, “Or is it because you’re worried that you’d look bad in
front of me? Does pride really still matter considering how close we are?” Sophia asked that question with a chuckle
in a relaxing manner.
After a short while, Logan’s voice was heard from inside the room. “Why would I be worried about that? I already
look bad enough in front of you.”
Sophia raised her eyebrows upon hearing that. “Come on! How could you say that to yourself? This is just a little
setback.” Then, she added with a gentle voice, “Okay, why don’t you tell us your frustration during the meal? Share
your problem with us.”
Logan responded with a noncommittal grunt. “Nah, I’m not hungry.”
John placed his hand on Sophia’s shoulder and nudged her before both of them exchanged gazes. Soon, Sophia
said, “Alright, stay inside since you’re not hungry. John and I will make a move once we’re done eating here.” After
saying that, she purposely emphasized the next sentence. “We’re now heading to the game room.”
Soon, Sophia shifted her eyes to the waiter and raised her voice to make sure Logan could hear what she was
saying. “Please prepare us a few dishes. Just make the meal simple because we’ll be leaving as soon as we’re
done.” While the waiter cooperated by responding in agreement before leaving, Sophia was grateful that everyone
was smart enough to read her implicit message.
In fact, the game room was the usual place where Logan had his meal. It was a spacious room with a table for card
games, as well as a dining table in the corner. Therefore, Sophia and John decided to head over there and wait, but
before the dishes were served, Logan showed up.
With a gloomy expression on his face, Logan entered the game room and walked toward the table before he sat
down alone. Upon witnessing that, Sophia and John looked at each other with a chuckle, whereupon John
approached Logan and sat beside him. Staring at Logan, John smiled and said, “Come on! I’m sure you came
across something else far more serious than this one, yet you’ve never looked so dejected.”
