Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 636

Getting out of bed, Sophia glanced down from the stairwell on the second floor, only to see that there were quite a few people downstairs. Aside from John and Zack, both Logan and Fabian were present. She wasn't sure what they were conversing about, but Logan seemed to be confused by it. "You're making it so complicated that I could hardly understand! I only need you to tell me what to do! My head is hurting from all the analysis you did!"

It had been a while since she last saw Logan, so she missed him quite dearly. With a smile on her face, she called out to him, "Logan!"

Lifting his head, Logan cried out in joy as soon as he saw her, and he was soon hopping up the stairs. "Sophia, I miss you a lot!"

Upon seeing that Logan was giving her a hug, the expression on John's face soured. Zack approached him to tease him quietly, "Look at them; he's hugging her like it's no big deal! Young Master Jefferson sure knows how to take advantage of a situation."

Glancing at Zack with contempt, John chided, "Stop being a busybody. Do you understand what I was talking about?"

Zack nodded instantly. "Yeah, of course I understand."

Meanwhile, Fabian spoke up at the appropriate moment. "But are you sure that there are a lot of herbs in the mountains?"

Recalling the situation, John replied, "I did check out the area, and there were some in the nearby mountains. However, I do need someone to do a more detailed assessment. If things are to proceed as expected, those are all resources that we can make use of."

Fabian gave a grunt in response before replying, "If that is true, I agree with your plan."

After some thought, John added, "Alright, so those will be our plans for now. We will talk about it again when the assessment is done."

On the other hand, Sophia came downstairs with a cheerful look alongside Logan. "It's not everyday that I see all of you here."

Fabian told her, "I did drop by a few times before today, but you were never in. It wasn't until I contacted Zack that I knew you will be home today. You didn't even leave me a message when you left, so it's all your fault that I had to leave empty-handed multiple times!"

In the meantime, Sophia walked over to them before sitting down on one end of the sofa. "I was in a hurry, so I didn't manage to inform anyone."

Upon checking her out, Fabian said, "You don't seem all that good. My grandmother had been complaining that you have been shunning us since you never came to visit us."

Sophia was a little uneasy at the mention of Kate Blackwell, as she was being overly nice to Sophia, which seemed odd to the latter. She doubted that a mere tarot card could predict that she was a lucky star to the Blackwells. If the cards somehow foretold that she was their nemesis instead, Kate would probably have to replace all sorts of ways to get rid of her to put her own mind at peace.

Fabian smiled while looking at Sophia. "My grandmother can be quite stubborn. Some time ago, the Blackwells were stuck in a bad situation, and her health was also declining. It made her sink into depression which was why she opted to get herself a reading in the first place. The fortune teller foretold a fated meeting with an important person that would help solve the Blackwell Family's troubles."

Truth be told, Fabian assumed that the fortune teller said so merely to soothe his grandmother's nerves, and it was a pure coincidence that Sophia managed to set herself apart during his grandmother's birthday banquet. After that, the Blackwells managed to free themselves from the predicament as well in a similar period of time, which was why his grandmother was utterly convinced that the fortune teller told the truth.

From Kate's point of view, Sophia was the Blackwell Family's lucky star, so they had to treat her with respect. However, Sophia could only sigh in resignation upon recalling the full story. "I suppose something like that is nothing but a pure coincidence."

Letting out a sigh, Fabian told her, "To her, everything happens for a reason, and there's no such thing as a coincidence."

Sophia smacked her lips before telling him, "The thing is that I'm just a little afraid since she was being so enthusiastic and overly kind toward me."

Upon laying eyes on Sophia, John was reminded of Walter. He couldn't help but worry that Walter might spring into action as soon as he caught wind of news that Sophia had established connections with a family as prestigious as the Blackwells.
