Chapter 151 Plotting Against Logan

"If I hadn't been such a poor loser with such a strange illness, my family wouldn't have suffered so much!" Mr. Cook cried out in anguish.

Moore glanced at Logan with a gloomy expression. "Not long ago, someone crashed into our pigsty. We don't know who it was, and our village has no surveillance cameras. After the crash, the vehicle fled.

The hovel was damaged, and the piglets inside ran away. Some villagers secretly took them and refused to admit they belonged to our family."

Before Moore could finish speaking, Mrs. Cook burst into tears.

"Our piglets are gone, and we have to repair the pigsty, buy new piglets, and get my husband treated. What are we going to do?"

Seeing the whole family in such poverty, Logan felt a pang of sympathy.

"Mrs. Cook, don't be sad. Money is not a problem. As long as we repair the pigsty and get new piglets, things will get better."

Mrs. Cook shook her head. "Jodie's meager salary won't help much. We can give up doing business, but we have to get my husband treated!"

She then turned to Moore. "Here's what we can do. I can sell one of my kidneys. I'll still have one left. We can afford the medical expenses with the money from selling the kidney."

Moore hugged Mrs. Cook and said, "Mom, if anyone is going to sell their kidney, it'll be me! I'm still young!"

The entire family huddled together, four crying and embracing one another.

The scene moved Logan before him. "Mr. and Mrs. Cook, you don't need to sell your kidneys. I'll lend you the money."

Mrs. Cook was taken aback. "You'll help us? With my husband's medical expenses and the pigsty repairs, we'll need $800,000!" Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Logan nodded without hesitation.

Moore stood up in excitement and knelt before Logan.

"Mr. Riley, I don't know how to repay you! If you need anything in the future, say the word, and I'll do anything for you!"

Logan quickly helped Moore to his feet. "It's not a big deal. I just happen to have some money."

Soon, Logan transferred $800,000 to Jodie's account.

Jodie personally wrote an IOU for Logan, saying, "Logan, here's an IOU. Keep it."

"No need," Logan replied, "We used to be schoolmates, and we work at the same organization. I'm not worried you'll run away." With that, Logan tore up the IOU before the Cook family.

Jodie was stunned but then showed a delighted expression.

She and her brother exchanged glances, their lips curling into faint smiles.

As night fell, the Cook family invited Logan to stay for dinner and spend the night before leaving.

After dinner, Logan sat on the second-floor balcony, gazing at the tranquil countryside scenery, and once again, he thought of Adeline.

He tried calling her with his phone, but he couldn't reach her because she had blocked his number. This left him increasingly frustrated, so he called his father, Leo.

"Hello, Dad; Mom is in trouble."

A deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "What happened?"

"Adeline reported Mom to the police, and Mom was taken away." Logan pinched his brow, feeling embarrassed.

Leo paused and asked, "Why did Adeline report your mom?"

Logan hesitated, stammering, "I... I'm not quite sure. When I arrived, the police were about to take Mom away. I asked Adeline to drop the charges, but she refused."

"Did you come back?" Leo sounded surprised. "So, where are you now?"

"I'm at Jodie's place in the countryside," Logan replied honestly.

"Logan, you saw your mom being taken away, and you did nothing? You haven't even figured out what happened, and you followed Jodie to the countryside?" Leo's voice contained shock.

"Dad, Jodie's family is in trouble!" Logan interrupted his father, feeling frustrated.

He was angry that Adeline didn't understand him, and now his father didn't either.

Leo's tone grew sharper, "And so is our family! The police took away your mom."

Logan was left speechless once more.

"I'm going to check on your mom's situation now. You come back immediately!" Leo said before abruptly ending the call.

As Logan stood up, preparing to return to Prodiff, Moore approached with a liquor bottle and blocked his way.
