Chapter 926
Sophia finally sat up and stared at the door. That jerk John still isn’t back yet. How much does he haveto say to Isabelle?
By now, she actually had an urge to go over and take a look, but her stubbornness caused her tosuppress this impulse. Maybe the jerk is waiting for me to go over to the study room. I’m not gonna fallinto his trap! novelbin
So, she took out her phone and scrolled through it for a while, but there was nothing noteworthy orinteresting on it. Finally, she put the phone down, turned off the lights, and went to sleep with her headcovered.
John had indeed been discussing matters with Isabelle. Both of them looked through the documentsthat Isabelle had photographed.
The business in the hands of Elder Mr. Bailey seemed to be a huge business network.
Upon looking at these things, Isabelle became more and more frightened.
She covered her face and said, "Considering how big this business of Grandpa’s is, it would be reallyeasy to get into trouble. By then, the Bailey Family will be done for."
Judging from the current accounts, her grandfather's income was so huge it was quite terrifying.
Such a big matter would certainly be leaked out one day.
There was no such thing as a wall that was impenetrable. If the business were to grow, the structure of
the personnel inside had to be larger also. When the number of people involved increased, theprobability of the whole thing being leaked would increase as well.
Isabelle was not a bold and daring person. When she thought about this, her limbs started to tremble.
John saved everything on his computer, then he turned to look at her. "You have to be calm now andnot let the cat out of the bag. If you panic now, it will be difficult to carry out the subsequent tasks."
Holding her hands together, Isabelle calmed herself down and nodded. "I know, don't worry. I won'tdrag you down."
The two chatted in the study for a long time. It wasn’t until John took a look at the clock that he realizedit was already late. "Oh, it’s late now.”
Isabelle looked down at her watch as well. "Ah, I didn't even notice the time." She stood up andcontinued, "Well, you should rest. I’ll leave now. Sorry for bothering you for so long."
Then, Isabelle and John came out of the study together. John thought for a while before asking, "Didyou drive here by yourself?"
Isabelle nodded. "Yes."
John smiled. "Okay. Drive safely.”
After that, he followed Isabelle downstairs, but when he came to the stairs, he stopped in his trackswhen he saw that Sophia was not downstairs. He told Isabelle to be careful on her way back home,then he turned and went back upstairs to his bedroom.
Pushing the door open, John sighed when he saw that the room was dark.
Pushing the door open, John sighed when he saw that the room was dark.
Although it was indeed very late, he and Isabelle had been in the study all this time. How could Sophiafall asleep knowing that?
John couldn't understand her at all.
After standing there thinking for a while, he finally turned around and left the room. At this moment, OldMrs. Constance was walking up the stairs. When she saw John coming out of the room, she frowned.
John walked toward her, but before he could speak, he heard Old Mrs. Constance ask, "How much didyou have to discuss with Isabelle? Did you really have to talk until so late?"
John said, "I didn't pay much attention to the time, but there was indeed a lot of stuff. We wereanalyzing while discussing at the same time, so things dragged on for quite a long time. I know it’sindeed rather late." After saying that, John hurriedly asked Old Mrs. Constance, "Did Sophia sayanything to you?"
Old Mrs. Constance rolled her eyes at him. "Think for yourself. Of course, she said that she understoodwhy you had to do this. What else could she even say?" She turned and walked toward her room asshe spoke to John at the same time. “Don’t shoot yourself in the foot. Sophia hasn't remarried you yet,so you’d better behave.”
