Sophia chuckled in response. “Tsk! Tsk! Please allow me to remind you one more time that it’s Mrs.Constance, not Miss Gwenndolyn.”
Her reply instantly rendered Isabelle speechless. Then, Sophia turned around and lazily added, “I’ll letyou know by then. As much as I appreciate your sincere invitation, I’d like you to know that I can’t reallytravel around conveniently considering my current condition. Even if I wanted to, John wouldn’t allowme either. Thus, I’ll have to discuss this with John.” Before Isabelle could say anything further, Sophiacontinued to say, “Alright, I’m going to take a nap now. Bye.” After that, she hung up the call right awaywithout giving Isabelle a chance to respond.
Upon finishing the call, Sophia tossed her phone aside and tucked herself in while lying in bed. A fewseconds later, she instantly went out like a light. Although she usually had dreams in her sleep, sheslept soundly throughout her nap like a queen this time. It seemed like her days were getting better andbetter indeed.
In the meantime, Isabelle paused with her phone in her hand for a while before she put it down. Then,when Elder Mr. Bailey came closer and took the phone with a glacial look on his face, Isabelle clenchedher teeth and cursed Sophia. “How arrogant she is!”
“Not for long.” Elder Mr. Bailey sniggered, while Isabelle shifted her gaze to him without saying a word.
Putting away the phone, Elder Mr. Bailey didn’t even bother to meet Isabelle’s gaze as he said, “Youwill stay here these few days until your Uncle Ernest’s birthday. Isabelle, I’m so disappointed in you!”
Meanwhile, the human bone that was found in the shadow bank had its owner identified as the person
whom John had been investigating all along. At that moment, John was sitting in the office with Williamin front of him when one of his men gave him a call and told him that. John smiled and said, “There isno need for us to interfere with the matter. Let the police handle it with the victim’s family members.”
After responding with an affirmative grunt, John’s subordinate said, “Those family members seemed tobe very happy when they learned about this person’s death. They’re especially excited now.”
Of course they’re feeling happy! This guy never contributed to his family at all when he was alive, but atleast his death managed to get his family some compensation. So, maybe it’s fair to say that he finallybrought something home for once. After John hung up the call, William asked, “What’s going on? Itsounds like your men got the latest update about the matter.” novelbin
John replied with a chuckle, “Yeah, you can say that. We’re one step closer to our goal now.”
William nodded in agreement. “I don’t know how things fare on your side, but I have a feeling you’regoing to cap it all off soon.”
John pursed his lips and answered, “Yup, very soon.” After that, he added, “Mr. Ernest’s birthday is justaround the corner, and the end of that will mark the end of everything else.”
William paused while staring at John for a few moments. “Alright, but be careful, John. No matter what,safety should always come first.”
John replied, “Mmh. Okay, I heard you loud and clear.” Soon, he changed the subject and asked hisfather a question. “I know Madam Yolanda visited that day, but she didn’t seem to be happy when sheleft. What were you both talking about?”
William laughed. “Are you trying to sound me out, son? Come on; there is no way you can’t figure outwhat we were talking about.”
John pretended as if he didn’t know anything. “What makes you so sure that I know what you two weretalking about? I’m clueless and curious.”
