The Returning Ex

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.” Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

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.”

Logan responded with a nonchalant grunt and said, “Okay, in this case, that means there is no room for discussion anymore. Furthermore, you’re not the officer you used to be, so there isn’t really a need for me to give you my lead.” As soon as he finished his words, he stood up and headed outside while Lola sat still in silence.

Although Logan deliberately slowed his footsteps, he eventually arrived at the doorstep without hearing Lola’s response. In a fit of rage, he pointed at the woman and cursed her, “You b*tch…” However, he swallowed his words from the tip of his tongue and said, “You have no idea what you’re doing, lady.”

Lola looked askance at him. “What’s wrong? I thought you were leaving.”

Staring at Lola, he began to act like a rogue. “I changed my mind.” He then returned to Lola’s side and said in a disgusted manner, “You ingrate! Is this really how I’m repaid for the great favor I did you the last time?”

Lola ridiculed Logan and replied, “I could take care of those guys myself, with or without you. Furthermore, I’ve already thanked you, so what do you want from me?”

Logan sniggered and said, “Take care of them yourself? How? With your own fists? Do you really think those guys would be a gentleman like me and go easy on you because you’re injured?”

While Lola stared at Logan, the man suddenly realized he should probably rephrase his words. So, he added, “I don’t bully women. If you were a guy, I’d probably snap your neck by now.”
