Female Novel
Chapter 940
With a helpless expression, Isabelle stared at her grandfather’s figure until he disappeared from thestairs.
After the phone call ended, John called his subordinate to instruct him to investigate the incident at thehospital. He also asked him what happened after the transaction.
The subordinate replied that when the transaction took place, the people working for the shadow bankwere caught red-handed. However, those people were sly as they didn’t bring the goods with them. Asfor how the goods would be traded, the subordinate hadn’t found any lead yet.
John’s interest was piqued when he heard this. Now I’m curious how they’re going to make thetransaction happen.
Upon hanging up the call, he drove to the warehouse, which used to be desolate in the past. Now, theplace was crammed with people. The number of people confined in this place was enough to occupy afew tables to play poker. If Logan and Matilda found out about it, they would be elated, John thought.
When Sophia awakened from her sleep, she no longer felt fearful. Touching her shoulder, she recalledhow the woman was jabbed in the same place. How did they even come up with this kind of ruthlessmove? They’re really relentless. Sitting on the bed, she waited for a bit and went downstairs.
Matilda had arrived with a basket of fruits, which were said to be beneficial for a pregnant lady, but shehadn’t had any idea what happened to Sophia. Seeing her, she immediately went to the kitchen towash the fruits for her.
In a dazed state, Sophia took a seat and picked up an apple, but after taking two bites, she put it backdown.
Matilda hadn’t noticed Sophia’s unusual behavior and mentioned that she came across Jennifer on herway here. Unlike her attitude in the past, Jennifer was treating Matilda in a more hospitable mannernow. She even asked her when John and Sophia would remarry.
At the mention of this, Matilda guffawed and said, “I guess Jennifer is concerned about you.”
Leaning against the couch, Sophia grunted. “Sometimes I feel that Lady Jennifer is more concernedabout me than she cares about her son.”
Heaving a sigh, Old Mrs. Constance said, “After John and you remarry, Jennifer will stop worryingabout it.”
No matter how I try to change the topic, it will always be about John and my relationship, Sophiathought. Recalling how swiftly John managed to protect her from the person who was trying to harmher, Sophia felt that he did provide a sense of safety for her.
If she missed John again, she didn’t think she would ever encounter a man as compatible. After lettingout a breath, she replied, “I’ll think about it.”
Matilda pursed her lips and asked, “How are you even hesitating if John is the person you’reremarrying? Don’t you know there are many women out there eager to marry him?” novelbin
Hearing this, Sophia burst out laughing and questioned, “Don’t you know there are many handsomemen out there eager to pursue me?”
Unable to hold it in anymore, Old Mrs. Constance chuckled. “Despite the age gap, the two of you arefunny together. If Sophia were ten years older, she could well be your little sister.”
Giggling, Matilda said, “In the past, I really found her irritating, but now I’m very fond of her. I don’t evenknow what’s wrong with me.”
After the banter with Matilda, Sophia felt more energized.
Then, Old Mrs. Constance told Matilda to stay there to have dinner together and teased, “Tell William tocome home tonight. I haven’t seen him for such a long time that I don’t even remember what he lookslike now.”
Since William moved into Matilda’s house, he hadn’t returned to his own home for a long time, asthough he had no intention of coming back.
