Female Novel
Chapter 1155
Logan stood up. “Well, if you don’t mind…” In response, Lola gritted her teeth. She could never be asshameless as Logan was.
Turning time forward, it was finally Ernest’s birthday banquet. Logan and Lola went to the ConstanceResidence early that day, but John wasn’t planning on an early attendance, so they played poker whilewaiting.
There was a feast in the afternoon, but the Constance couple didn’t attend it. It wasn’t until nearly duskdid John drive to the Bailey Residence with Sophia.
Logan took Lola there too, but they stopped outside of the residence. Before he left, Logan told Lola tostay in the car while he went to the Constances’ car. First, they’d show themselves, then Logan wouldtake Lola in. In response, Lola waved him away. “You go do your stuff. I’ll be fine.”
Logan stared at her seriously for a moment. “Wait for me.”
Then, Logan went into the Bailey Residence with the Constance couple. Man, that old git spent a lot onthis. This place is really packed. Once the Constance couple made their appearance, someone went toreport it to Elder Mr. Bailey, and they mentioned Logan.
The old man was looking outside the window, and he smiled. “It doesn’t matter who comes with them.Nothing will change.” Once his subordinate made his leave, Elder Mr. Bailey went to Isabelle’s room.
After Isabelle was brought back, she was confined to this room, and she was allowed to go nowhere.Isabelle dressed herself up nicely, and she was looking outside the window at the moment, deep in her
thoughts. When Elder Mr. Bailey had come in, he locked the door. “John and Sophia are here. Do youwant to go and have a look?”
Isabelle looked at him, her expression deadpan.
A few seconds later, Elder Mr. Bailey said, “Isabelle, you should know you’re in the same boat as us. Ifwe fail, then you shall fail with us.”
Pursing her lips, Isabelle kept quiet for a while. “I understand.” She had been obedient lately, seeminglybeing brainwashed by her grandfather.
As Elder Mr. Bailey took her downstairs, he reminded her, “You should know what you should say andwhat you should not.” novelbin
“I understand,” Isabelle replied weakly.
Elder Mr. Bailey’s face darkened, and they went out. On this day, Ernest’s birthday banquet was held inthe backyard, and it had been transformed for the occasion. Tables dotted the field, and alcohol flowedfreely. Lights dazzled the night, and everywhere the guests looked, they saw extravagant decoration.Sophia, John, and Logan were in the crowd, and when someone hit Logan up, he’d chat with them.
On the other hand, the Constance couple were chatting with each other happily.
Isabelle saw John the moment she came into the backyard. It had been a while since she saw him, andit felt bizarre seeing him again.
When John looked up while chatting with Sophia, he saw Isabelle. All he did was nod at her before
looking away.
Isabelle pursed her lips and stared at Sophia. The bump on her stomach was getting obvious, and shehad become rounder than she used to be. The happy smile on her face scalded Isabelle, and shelooked away quickly.
Her change in expression did not escape Elder Mr. Bailey. “See? John doesn’t care how much yousacrificed for him. He has a wife and child now. In short, a family. He has a better life than you have.Look at you. What do you have besides us?”
