Chapter 180 A Sting in Logan's Heart
"Aunt, what did you just say?" Logan looked at Yetta in disbelief.
Before he could say anything, he heard the voice of his junior sister, Jodie, from outside the door.
"Logan, are you there?"
Upon hearing this, Logan stood up as if struck by lightning, feeling guilty and unable to look at Adeline.
"I... I..."
Logan looked extremely uncomfortable.
Jodie outside the living room, who was stopped by a servant, continued to shout loudly.
"Logan, are you there? It's Jodie."
Alston's brows furrowed deeply, and when he looked at Logan, his expression was not angry but imposing. "How could another woman come looking for you? The Riley family has strict rules and principles. Haven't you disciplined yourself?"
"She... she is my colleague," Logan said, lowering his head.
"Even colleagues should maintain their distance!" Alston's voice grew louder, taking on the appearance of a devilish coach.
"Yes, Uncle, I will handle it immediately."
Just as Logan was about to leave, he looked guiltily at Adeline before dejectedly walking out of the living room.
Upon seeing Logan, Jodie's face lit up with joy. "Logan!"
Logan pinched her arm and led her outside the old mansion. "Why did you come here?"
A hint of disappointment flashed through Jodie's heart.
She hadn't expected that she still couldn't enter the Riley family's old mansion this time.
After working with Logan for so long, he had never once invited her inside.
There was one time when she had brought it up, but Logan politely declined, citing the strict family rules and saying that only those recognized by the Riley family could enter. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
Every time, Jodie would feel extremely jealous when she saw Adeline freely entering the Riley family and even staying there.
She also wanted to enter this century-old mansion and take a few selfies.
After all, these photos would be something to boast about on social media.
And in Prodiff, having these few photos could bring various conveniences.
It seemed that the Riley family was well aware of this, thus they strictly controlled the quality of their visitors.
Logan brought her to an empty area and scolded her angrily, "What are you doing here? I have a girlfriend, and your actions make it difficult for me."
Jodie's heart skipped a beat and her eyes welled up with tears at his words.
She lowered her head and twisted her clothes. "Logan... I... I heard that you suddenly came back, so I wanted to see if something happened at home. Why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
As she spoke, Jodie's face turned pale, revealing a pitiful and aggrieved look.
"I... I'm just concerned about you."
Seeing Jodie like this, Logan couldn't bear to scold her. "There's nothing wrong with my family. It's just that my father's birthday is coming up, and I came back to celebrate. I also want to repair my relationship with Adeline."
Jodie forced a smile. "That's good... repairing your relationship with Adeline, that's good. If... if there's a need, you can tell me. I can explain it to Adeline for you. If she needs it, I can even kneel down for her."
"Jodie, you don't have to do this! There's no need to be so submissive!" Logan furrowed his brows tightly.
Jodie smiled bitterly. "As long as you're fine, I don't care about anything else... Logan, I just hope you can be happy."
Logan felt a pang in his heart, but he forced himself to turn away.
Before he could say anything, a sweet voice came from a distance.
"Logan."
Before the voice could finish, Viola, who had been brought over by Victoria, rushed over and proactively held Logan's hand.
Jodie's expression changed in an instant!
At this moment, Alston, who had finished his dinner, put down his chopsticks and looked at Curtis and Adeline, speaking with stern parental authority.
"Both of you, come with me to the room!"
