Female Novel
Chapter 790
Sophia and Matilda were strolling about in the garden. William and John saw them at once when theygot out of the car, after which they stopped in their tracks. William stood next to the car and looked inMatilda’s direction. “When your matter is handed over to Dylan, the Bailey Family’s matters are alsohanded over to him. Although Isabelle is still the main person responsible for them, most of the workhas been handed over to the business manager.”
John made a noncommittal grunt. “Really? I haven’t noticed. At work, I’m not really interested in theirfamily’s matters.”
William paused for a moment before asking, “Did that guy you capture say anything?”
Turning his head, John looked at William. “He did reveal some of it, and I’m investigating now. I have afeeling that it has something to do with the Bailey Family. But it’s just a feeling.”
William froze. Then, he frowned and asked, “Are you sure?”
After all, the Bailey Family was involved in business. Although they had many tactics and schemes,they probably wouldn’t do such a thing. Even if they really had a dispute with the Constance Family,they would just lay some obstacles for the latter in the business circle instead of getting someone to dosomething so unscrupulous like this.
It was simply not something people in business did.
John considered for a minute. “It’s only a guess. After all, I don’t have any hard evidence right now thatproves that it’s the Bailey Family who is behind it. I’ll continue investigating the matter.”
William and John hadn’t moved and remained standing by the car. Sophia and Matilda rememberedthat lunch was ready by now, so they came back from the garden, only to run into the men.
Seeing them, Matilda couldn’t help smiling at once. William stared at her, and the corners of his mouthtwitched uncontrollably too.
But Sophia wasn’t smiling. Instead, she slowly walked over to John’s side and said, “Isabelle invited usto have dinner with her this evening.”
John nodded as Matilda had called to tell him about this before.
Stretching out his hand, he took Sophia’s hand and held it in his palm. “She came to the companytoday and asked me as well, but I refused her. I didn’t expect you two to agree.”
Sophia chuckled. “I see Isabelle has learned how to tackle both sides.”
Walking up to William, Matilda asked, “Why did you come back at noon? It’s too troublesome to comeand go like this.”
William didn’t mind at all. “It’s okay. The lunch break is quite long, so I have the time for this.”
Matilda nodded in response. The four of them then walked toward the main building.
Old Mrs. Constance was standing at the door of the main building. She had wanted to go over to callSophia and Matilda for lunch, but when she saw them coming over, she just stood there and watched.
The scene that unfolded before her had never existed before. Not only did John and Sophia have a badrelationship with each other, but Matilda and William had also never walked side by side so peacefullybefore.
It wasn’t that the two of them had never had a walk like this in the past thirty years of their married life.The point was that they had never been so agreeable with each other before.
Back then, when they walked together, Matilda talked most of the time while William kept quiet. Butnow, the two of them were talking and laughing together as they came over. Old Mrs. Constance hadnever seen such a sight in her life.
Sophia walked a little faster than the others. When she saw Old Mrs. Constance standing there, sheknew that lunch was ready. Hence, she quickly said, “I’m starving. Quick, let’s go and eat.” novelbin
She was much more energetic than before. Upon seeing her like that, Old Mrs. Constance becamemore satisfied with her. She laughed and told Sophia, “Hurry up then. The food is ready.” Then shelooked at John and William. “I knew that you two would be back at noon, so I had the kitchen prepareyour lunch too.”
William was a little embarrassed as he smiled through pursed lips, while John did not have muchreaction at all. After all, he had gotten used to being thick-skinned.
During lunch, Sophia told everyone that she was going over to Logan’s clubhouse with Matilda later.
