Female Novel
Chapter 1168
Isabelle let out a long sigh. “My father has absolute trust in me. I just hinted at it, and he arrangedeverything according to my idea. Those four useless men are the last thing I did for your sake. I don’tthink I’ll be coming back, so we probably won’t meet again, barring any unforeseen circumstances inthe future. So, goodbye, John. Goodbye.”
With a hint of a smile in her voice, she continued, “Please convey my regards to Sophia and tell her notto take offense at me for the wrongs I’ve done to her. It was my first time having feelings for someone,so I was bound to do everything possible to attain the person.”
At this, John sighed. He didn’t want to hear all this anymore, so he said, “Have a safe journey. Youwon’t be implicated in anything over here, so take care of yourself and have a good life.”
“Sure, I definitely will.” Just after Isabelle had said this, the broadcasting system started announcing theboarding call. Standing up, she repeated into the phone for the final time, “Goodbye, John.”
John’s voice turned gentle. “Okay, goodbye.” After hanging up, he put his cell phone away. Then, heturned around and walked over to the sofa, sitting down again.
Logan was still livid. Raising his head, he stared at John. “Well? What did that woman say? Did sheimplore you for mercy? Tell her to dream on!” novelbin
John shook his head. “No. Logan, those four men who abducted Miss Hunt today was arranged byIsabelle. I’d been wondering why they seemed so unprofessional, but they turned out to be a leewayshe granted us.”
Entirely stunned, Logan’s jaw dropped. “What? It was actually Isabelle’s doing? I was also wonderingwhether they were working undercover considering their inept performance.”
At the side, Sophia pursed her lips. “It hadn’t been easy for her either. She took a risk in doing this.”
John nodded. It’s obvious that Elder Mr. Bailey and Old Mr. Bailey didn’t trust her much, so it reallyhadn’t been easy for her to arrange for those four men with her limited influence. As she said, this wasthe last thing she could do.
Lola never had any interaction with Isabelle, but after hearing all this, she lamented, “It’s trulyremarkable that she could have stayed true to herself in a place such as the Bailey Family.”
Logan still didn’t quite like Isabelle, so he merely harrumphed softly upon hearing Lola’s compliment ofher.
While they were talking, Old Mrs. Constance returned. She went to Blackwell Residence earlier andhad initially planned to have dinner there before coming home, but she heard that something hadhappened, so she rushed home. Upon seeing John and Sophia in the living room, relief suffused her.Hurrying over, she asked the four of them, “You’re all back from Bailey Residence? Do you all knowthat something happened over there?”
John chuckled. “Yeah, we know. Something had indeed happened.”
Old Mrs. Constance didn’t get the whole story, so she came over and sat on the sofa. “What exactlyhappened? Come on, tell me the story.”
How should I start speaking about this matter? John didn’t know where to start. If I start from the very
beginning, it’ll be a long and repugnant story. Regardless of whether Grandma minds listening, I trulydon’t want to recall all those things again.
Shuffling to her feet, Sophia headed to the kitchen; no one was cooking on this day. Dinner was calledoff since John and Sophia were attending a birthday celebration, while Old Mrs. Constance went overto Blackwell Residence. Leaning against the kitchen door, Sophia peered around the kitchen beforereturning to the sofa. “How about ordering takeout? If we start cooking now, I think it’ll be too late by thetime the food is ready.”
