Female Novel
Chapter 502
In the end, everyone gathered at Sophia’s place. While she was busy cooking, Robin was sitting in theliving room and calling home at the same time, telling her parents that she bunked down at Sophia’splace. In fact, Robin had already informed her family the night before that she would be coming homelate due to their celebration. Therefore, she told them that she was afraid that she’d disturb them if shecame home too late, so she decided to stay over at her friend’s place instead.
When Sophia was done with cooking, everyone proceeded to enjoy their meal. Then, Logan called forhis men to see Robin home. After that, Logan looked at John and asked him, “Did you find out whathappened?”
John shook his head. “Not a single thing.” Although the surveillance camera managed to capture thesuspects’ car heading toward the urban area, they were eventually able to get away with it due to theblind spots in the traffic there. Therefore, the police couldn’t track down the places the suspects hadbeen to. Instead, they only concentrated on the mountain where Robin was found even though they stillfailed to find any useful lead in the end.
Nonetheless, the police promised to look into the matter, although they couldn’t guarantee that themystery could be solved. After all, the information they had was way too limited to proceed with theinvestigation any further, plus there was nothing serious that happened in the end. With their limitedpowers, the police would rather direct their focus on criminal cases that were more urgent and serious.Therefore, they could all empathize with the law enforcers, considering the number of cases they hadto attend to throughout the city. Thus, it was no surprise that they would prioritize those serious casesover trivial incidents like this one. Unlike his usual bluff manner, he spoke up for the police. “It’s noteasy for them either.”
Sophia came closer while hugging her shoulders. “They’re all after me, aren’t they?”
John didn’t dare to jump to conclusions, but from the looks of things at the moment, it appeared that thematter was as Sophia inferred that whoever did this was indeed after her. Sophia then sat on the couchand asked herself, “Who did I cross?”
John went ahead and said, “I spoke to my mom last night. She is innocent, and I’m sure she didn’t liebecause I know that’s not who she is.”
Sophia didn’t think Matilda was behind the abduction either, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to pulloff something like this by herself. She is too dim-witted to do something like this. The most she’d do isprobably just hiring some two-bit thugs to rough me up. Anything more than that would prove toochallenging for her. At the thought of that, Sophia nodded and said, “It’s not her.”
Logan then pondered and said, “It must be Isabelle then. You both haven’t exactly gotten along witheach other well either, just like the last time when you ladies argued over some nightdress.” Sophiaknitted his brows and wondered. Really? Isabelle? But I have a feeling she is not behind all thisbecause she is not dumb after all. She may have a crush on John and would rather do anything forhim, but she doesn’t always have to do it herself. Furthermore, it’d draw a lot of attention to pull off astunt this big unless it’s perfectly planned and coordinated. Therefore, I think Isabelle is smart enoughto keep herself out of trouble like this one.
Sophia shook her head and replied, “I don’t think it’s her either.”
“Why not? My intuition tells me she is the one!” Logan blurted out, “Isabelle is always up to something.Don’t let her innocent look fool you! She is full of deceptions, and no one should ever hang around withher.” novelbin
Upon hearing that, Sophia shot a gaze at John and noticed his furrowed brows, realizing his calmexpression despite Logan’s provocative remark. After that, she took her gaze off the man, wonderingwhy he didn’t stand up for Isabelle even when Logan accused her.
Upon making his point, Logan shifted his gaze to John and asked, “What do you think? Do you thinkIsabelle is behind all this? I think it’s her.”
John paused and said, “Well, I can’t conclude anything until I investigate the matter. After all, we needevidence to confirm our suspicion.”
