Female Novel
Chapter 989
While the two were headed toward the backyard, Sophia asked, “How did you and Roselia get to knoweach other?”
John thought about it. “I actually met her at a bar. You pissed me off so much once that I went to thebar and got drunk. That was when I ran into Logan as well as Roselia.”
Sophia recalled that as well. That happened a really long time ago. At that time, Logan was sent homeby John after he drank too much. She’d even tried to ask Logan what happened, but Logan passed outafter he drank too much alcohol.
Then, Sophia nodded. “I see.”
John went on to explain, “Roselia hangs out in the bar a lot, and she has met many different types ofpeople. Utilizing these kinds of people would be the most advantageous to us. Moreover, her goodlooks are a plus point.”
Roselia’s success in infiltrating the shadow bank was a prime example of this.
However, Sophia didn’t say anything and continued walking. At the same time, Lady Jennifer walkedout, looking like she was dressed up to go out. Also, Sophia noticed Dylan behind her, looking just likehow he was usually dressed.
Lady Jennifer immediately grinned when she saw John and Sophia as she greeted them. “Oh hello!Fancy seeing you two taking a walk out here.”
John greeted her as well before asking, “Are you guys heading out?”
It seemed like Lady Jennifer was waiting for John to ask her that as she immediately said, “We aregoing out to meet Dylan’s girlfriend and have dinner with her. I mean, it’s nice to go on dates whenyou’re still young.”
Standing at the side, Sophia couldn’t stop herself from asking, “Aunt Jennifer, why are you going alongif they’re going on a date? Are you going to be the third wheel?”
Lady Jennifer couldn’t come up with a response to Sophia’s question. Meanwhile, Dylan felt likelaughing as he stood behind her.
He had already told them to just stay at home, but his mother was stubborn and insisted on asking thegirl out for dinner.
Until now, Dylan could still remember what happened the last time everyone gathered for a mealtogether, and the thought of it alone made him feel embarrassed.
At the same time, Lady Jennifer had already lost her excitement, and she looked tense as she tried toexplain herself. “I’m just tagging along as I don’t have anything to do at home.”
Sophia didn’t say anything in response. There were some things that should be said just once as aneffective retort, and speaking too much might cause things to backfire.
Initially, Lady Jennifer still wanted to talk, but now that the atmosphere between them had becometense, she smiled awkwardly before taking Dylan along with her. novelbin
After the two of them left, Sophia burst into fits of giggles while John was feeling speechless. “You’ll
only feel agitated if you keep trying to compete with them.”
Sophia shook her head. “Nah, I actually feel good. I’m in a good mood now that I managed to come upwith a retort against her.”
When John heard that, he only smiled before lowering his head and pulling Sophia’s hand to hold itbefore they walked around the backyard.
When they almost reached the main building, John’s phone suddenly rang. When he checked it, hesaw that it was a call from Isabelle.
John was confused as Isabelle had already met him during the evening and told him everything thatshe wanted to say.
After Sophia glanced at his phone, she suggested, “You should answer it. She might want to tell yousomething important.”
Hence, John answered the call without any hesitation.
Immediately, Isabelle started talking. “John, the police came over to my house. Is somethinghappening? Please tell me if that’s what it is so that I can prepare to leave now.”
Sophia was surprised as she listened in; Isabelle sounded off.
Meanwhile, John was also hesitant when he heard that the police went over to the Baileys. “I’m notreally sure what happened, but I suggest that you should hang around to see what’s going on.”
