Female Novel
Chapter 913
Mrs. Bailey was covering her face as her voice turned hoarse from crying as that was all she had beendoing recently. Her world shattered, after all.
However, Isabelle grabbed Mrs. Bailey and held it tightly. “Mom, Grandpa and Dad said that they’llneed me to support the family from now on, but how can I hold on if anything happens to you as well?”
Immediately, Mrs. Bailey stopped crying before she stared at Isabelle and turned around abruptly.
Although Mrs. Bailey’s face was teary, her facial expression had completely changed as her eyeswidened. “What are they trying to do with you now? Haven’t they learned their lesson? Look at whatthey’ve done to my Dexter?! How dare they put their expectations on you now that Dexter is gone?! Dothey still want to ruin more lives?!”
Isabelle’s expression was one of helplessness. “I did tell Grandpa that I’m afraid that I won’t be able tomanage it as I’m already under a lot of pressure, and I don’t want to do it, but maybe Grandpa and Dadhave no other choice anymore.”
Mrs. Bailey gritted her teeth. “All these people talk about is family and profit. Is the money that they’veearned all these years not enough for them to spend?”
Then, her mother tidied her hair and wiped off her tears before looking at Isabelle. “Belle, you can’t endup like your little brother, okay? You’re the only one that I have left now. Don’t listen to them, and don’tlive for them. Instead, live for yourself.”
Then, tears started falling from Mrs. Bailey’s eyes again. “I know that you’ve been sick of this in thepast. You’ve been just as unhappy as Dexter was, and I won’t force anything on you anymore. Whatmatters the most is you being happy.”
It seemed like Mrs. Bailey had thought things through a lot after what happened.
After that, she spoke to Isabelle in a serious manner. “If you really love John, just fight for it withoutcaring about anything else. Life is too short for you to worry about others, so just try hard to fight forwhat you want and what you like.”
Isabelle immediately cut her off. “No, no, no. I don’t like John anymore. He’s about to have a kid afterall. If I continue going after him, I might need to suffer other people’s criticism in the future. Moreover,with my qualifications, I am able to get someone who loves me.”
Although Mrs. Bailey was taken aback by what Isabelle said, she still felt relieved as she commented,“It’s good that you stopped being so stubborn. To be honest, I don’t think John deserves you.”
Isabelle grinned at that. “Yeah. He doesn’t deserve me.”
During the evening, John received the news from his underlings that they managed to find out the carsthat were tailing Sophia, and as expected, they were using fake car plates.
Right now, both of those cars were abandoned at a rubbish disposal centre in the suburbs.

This was similar to Robin’s previous kidnap; the cars that were involved were also abandoned.
However, instead of going over himself to check the cars, John only instructed his men to check if therewere any valuable leads from the car, even though the chances of that happening was slim.
After all, since they had been identified, they would surely get rid of anything that could be used asevidence against them.
John was still in his office when he looked at the time and noticed that it was about time for him to clockoff.
He had replied to Isabelle's text earlier and agreed on a place to meet up. It seemed like Isabelle hadsomething that she wanted to tell him, so John contacted Sophia and vaguely told her that he wasmeeting Isabelle to discuss something.
Still, Sophia sounded as if she didn’t care as she grunted and replied, “Alright then. I’m fine on my ownanyway.”
John didn’t know why, but he felt slightly irked.
Why isn’t Sophia jealous at all when I told her that I am going to meet Isabelle? Is she really notworried?
John didn’t feel good, but this feeling was finally suppressed when he saw Isabelle.
