Dylan told John that the Baileys were planning to cremate Dexter at the hospital and asked if they wanted to send two people as representatives.
Recalling what Isabelle told him previously, John nodded. “I’ll go with my father.”
John’s answer was what Dylan had in mind as well. Yesterday, William had been over at the Baileys for an entire day, so it was apparent that they were on good terms.
Since this was about the Baileys, it was better if William showed up instead.
After that, Dylan changed the topic and started talking about the changes in positions in Bailey Corporation.
It seemed like Isabelle had officially left Bailey Corporation.
From what the assistant that Dylan always did his transaction with told him today, someone else would be handling the collaboration between the Constance Family and the Baileys.
Learning about the arrangements, John was surprised. “Since when did you find out about this?”
Dylan replied, “I received the news today, so the changes will probably happen between these two days. We had gotten in contact with the Baileys two days ago to discuss the stock inputs, but they didn’t tell us at that time that they’re changing the person in charge until today.”
John nodded slowly. “Alright. I understand now.”
The Baileys had been having serious family disputes since yesterday. By right, they wouldn’t have had the mood to make these changes.
Then, John waited until Dylan left before he got up, went to the windowsill, and took a pack of cigarettes out from his pocket.
He had already gotten most of the things that he wanted to know after brutally beating up that person locked in the garage during these two days.
However, most of their information was in pieces and didn’t connect with each other.
Still, John was sure that shadow bank was related to the Baileys, and it was probably their side hustle.
It was just that he couldn’t understand why the Baileys would operate a shadow bank in the dark for no reason when their company was already so successful.
Isn’t it a good thing to operate a legitimate business?
Although John could slightly understand why they would make their moves on Sophia, he couldn’t understand this no matter how hard he tried to think about it.
The Baileys were probably displeased that he humiliated them for Sophia, so he indirectly caused the Baileys to direct their anger at Sophia.
Then, John continued pondering before he summoned Zack over and asked him to investigate the Baileys since it was easier to do so now that they were in a mess. Therefore, Zack immediately agreed. He couldn’t help but feel annoyed with the Baileys, possibly because of the dispute between John, Isabelle, and Sophia, so he had been feeling like investigating whether anything was going on with the Baileys.
Zack got worked up all of a sudden and left after agreeing to John’s request, leaving the latter confused as to why his assistant was so worked up.
After a while, he gave Sophia a call.
However, she was busy playing poker with the others.
This woman is really getting more and more comfortable with her life now.
John couldn’t help but feel jealous of her.
Sophia didn’t have much time to talk nonsense with John, so she told him that she was doing well and asked him not to miss her too much.
Then, John asked, “Have Ian left?”
Sophia muttered, “Yeah, he left.”
Suddenly, John grinned. “I initially thought that you’d be really sad about it, but it seems like I thought too much about it.”
Hearing his statement, Sophia snorted. “Why should I be sad about it? He’s going to snatch the champion for the competition, and we should be happy for him.”
Then, John nodded and changed the topic by asking her who she was playing poker with.
Obviously, John was trying to find a topic to talk to her, so she only paid lip service.
However, John was surprised. The fact that Logan wasn’t there to play poker was shocking.
Sophia paused at the mention of Logan. “Logan probably had something to do as he rushed out after receiving a call.”
