Female Novel
Chapter 690
When John was about to explain, Matilda said, “Yes, I used to dislike her. Her family can’t help you inyour career, and Isabelle looks so smart, and her family’s great. If she marries you, your life would beeasier, or so I thought. I admit I changed in the first place because of her pregnancy, but the more I talkto her, the more I think she’s a nice lady. I thought she was clinging onto you because of money, butnow I know you’re clinging onto her. Yes, her temper’s a problem, but she’s not evil, nor does shescheme or trick anyone. Aside from her background, there’s nothing wrong with her. And well, the restis history.”
Relieved, John nodded. “It’s great that you two can get along. Makes my life easier.”
Matilda snorted. “Don’t let your guard down. I won’t be too sure if your life will be easier.” Then shewaved him down. “You do your stuff. I’ll be going up now.”
Before Matilda went up, John asked, “I’ll be going to the residence tonight, so I might be seeing Dad.Do you have anything you want me to tell him?”
Matilda paused, then she looked back. “Nope. Nothing at all.” She smiled. “I’ve thought about it, andreally, I shouldn’t be forcing this relationship. I should be living my life first.”
It was hard, but eventually Matilda got over it. She used to be someone who’d obsess over every littlething, and after her divorce with William, she had been living her life numbly. However, after gettingalong with Sophia and observing how boldly she led her life, her eyes were open to new vistaspreviously vague to her.
She should have understood it given her age, but still she remained childish until she got along withSophia. When she thought about what she was like before, Matilda would get embarrassed. I wonder
how they saw me then.
Looking at Matilda, John nodded. “Sure. I understand.”
Matilda then went upstairs. “If you see him, don’t mention me at all if possible.” William probably hasnothing but bad memories of me.
John drove to the company, and Zack was already waiting in his office. When he saw John, Zackhanded him a document. “Take a look at this.”
John took it. “A name list? How did you get it?”
John took it. “A name list? How did you get it?” novelbin
Zack nodded. “Husky did it. You know, the guy you introduced. He’s working as a debt collector in theshadow bank. This is the list of debt collectors and errand workers of the bank. He needs to have someclearance before getting the list of the management.”
John read through the list, but he recognized none of the names, so he put the document down.“Alright. Any other development?”
Zack nodded. “Roselia brought news. She said she hooked up with a guy whose brother is working inthe shadow bank. Then the guy said the shadow bank is just a pretext. They have another business inthe shadows, pun not intended, and it’s running well. But even the mention of the shadow bank struckfear into the guy’s heart. He told Roselia to not ask anything relating to it, and that she should steerclear of his brother if she ever saw him. ‘Don’t mention anything about the shadow bank,’ he said.”
