Female Novel
Chapter 1009
After waiting for a while, Isabelle went over to turn on the TV again. She randomly changed to asomewhat noisy program. The truth was that she didn't really want to watch it; she just wanted to makea little sound come out from the room.
John’s subordinate left Isabelle's farmyard and immediately called John to tell him about the exchangewith Isabelle just now. In response, John raised his eyebrows with interest. "Oh? Is that so?"
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Bailey Residence was worse than before. Now that Isabelle was nolonger there, there were only two old men living in the main building. Day by day, the house hadbecome increasingly lifeless.
Recently, Old Mr. Bailey went out early and came home late. He rarely spent time in the BaileyResidence. On the other hand, Elder Mr. Bailey would go out occasionally, but he spent most of histime in his room, like now as he stood at the window, looking out to the backyard of Bailey Residence.
This was everything he owned and had worked hard for with his own hands, but it seemed that hecould no longer defend it this time. novelbin
Elder Mr. Bailey was very perceptive and could detect turbulence outside with his instincts. Afterstanding there for a while, he took out his phone and called his people at the shadow bank.
Although the shadow bank had been closed down for investigation, there were still a few people whohad escaped and moved away.
Elder Mr. Bailey’s call was picked up immediately. At once, he said, “Go and investigate JohnConstance. See what he is up to recently. I think our current situation has something to do with him.”
After a brief pause over there, the subordinate said he understood. The old man didn't talk aboutanything else and simply hung up the phone.
Then, he turned and went to the closet. He could still remember that scene when he opened the doorand entered the place just in time to see Isabelle going through his safe. Despite having guardedagainst everyone, he didn't think of guarding against his own family members. In fact, he had neverdreamed that Isabelle would backstab him like that.
When Elder Mr. Bailey remembered this, he was still so furious that he slammed the cane in his hand afew times on the ground involuntarily.
This is all because she is my own granddaughter! This is all because Dexter is now gone! Otherwise, Iwould never have dealt with her so lightly!
After a few minutes of rage, Elder Mr. Bailey then opened the safe and took out the files inside. He nowfelt that these things were not secure enough here. So, he packed them all up and waited for his son tocome back so that he could transfer all these files to him and let him find somewhere else to storethem.
Elder Mr. Bailey once thought that the Bailey Residence was impenetrable and impossible for outsidersto invade. When he thought about it now, he realized that he was the one who had been overconfident.John had managed to turn Isabelle against her own family simply with his charms.
This was really a huge lesson for Elder Mr. Bailey. He no longer trusted anyone else from the BaileyFamily.
On the other hand, now that John had received news from Isabelle and heard from her that there wasnothing wrong with her and she didn't need his help, he felt much more relieved. However, Isabelle hadalso said that her father held a document related to the whereabouts of the remaining inventory at theshadow bank.
John felt that if he started from this, it would bring about drastic effects in taking down the BaileyFamily, but Isabelle had also begged him to be merciful.
After pondering over it, he found it difficult to think of a way to deal with this matter so that the BaileyFamily could be brought down without being completely destroyed.
In the end, John decided to call Logan and discuss with him about what to do next. After all, Logan wasquite close to Lola recently. So, he guessed that Logan had shared all the information with her.However, he hoped that the other man could hold back a little as considering Lola's upright character,she would definitely destroy the Bailey Family straightaway if she came to know all these things.
Since Isabelle did provide John with a lot of helpful information, it wouldn’t be right for John to ignoreher request.
