John stared at the content of the documents before taking his phone out and comparing it to the pictures that Isabelle took.
Then, he narrowed his eyes and grinned. “I think I just matched something.”
Zack took John’s phone over to take a look, but he couldn’t understand it. “What is this? A-Are these encoded? It looks like purchase details, but it doesn’t look like it at the same time. Why are they not even named properly?”
John took his phone back right then before keeping it. “Alright. Don’t you want to go eat lunch? Let’s go together, then.”
However, Zack was taken back. “Aren’t you going back to the Constance Residence? I thought that you usually go back to have lunch with Sophia.
John sighed at that. “I’m probably not going back today as I still have things that I want to settle.”
After sneaking a few glances at John, Zack nodded. “Alright. Let’s go together, then.”
On the other hand, Old Mrs. Constance was somewhat surprised when John didn’t return home for lunch. In fact, even Sophia didn’t expect it.
However, she could still understand it as John was probably busy.
Earlier, the family doctor had come over and done a checkup for Sophia. He told her that everything was alright.
Although her stomach wasn’t getting bigger yet, the baby’s heartbeat could still be heard if one listened attentively.
It was Sophia’s first time listening to a baby’s heartbeat, so she got excited and started recording it with her phone.
However, she felt sorry for John as well. It would have been great if he was here, for he had been thinking about this child all along, but he still ended up missing the chance to listen to his heartbeat for the first time.
After the checkup, Sophia lay on her bed to rest, but her phone suddenly rang a while later. It was a call from Logan.
There was a hint of a smile in Sophia’s voice when she accepted Logan’s call. “Hey, Logan.”
However, Logan didn't laugh and he seemed like he wasn't in a good mood. Before he spoke, he tutted. “Sophia, I need to tell you something. Remember when you asked me to investigate Isabelle? Well, I did ask my men to investigate it thoroughly, but it seems like—”
“It wasn't Isabelle, right?” Sophia interjected.
Logan exclaimed, “Yeah. The results of the investigation showed that Isabelle really wasn't involved.”
Sophia chuckled. “I just knew about this as well. The cars that tailed me weren't related to Isabelle.”
Logan gave another ‘oh’, and he sounded surprised.
According to his understanding, this had to be Isabelle’s doing.
According to his understanding, this had to be Isabelle’s doing.
Sophia didn't know this, but he was so pissed off when he found out that Isabelle wasn't involved. He even kept asking his men if they had gotten it wrong, while his men could only laugh wryly.
However, it was the truth, and the results would be the same no matter how many times they were to try to investigate it.
Then, Sophia continued to say, “Although Isabelle isn't involved, there's still something fishy about the Baileys. John is looking into it too.”
Logan seemed to be relieved at that. “You're right. Since Isabelle isn't involved, the others must be. None of the Baileys are good people.”
Sophia felt like laughing, for Logan was way too prejudiced. Still, even though he might be biased sometimes, these people could be really good friends.
Sophia thanked Logan for his help before she asked, “How have you been these two days?”
To be honest, Logan’s days had been just like usual. Not having anything worthy to mention, he muttered, “It's fine. Just like usual.”
After Sophia pondered on it for a moment, she asked again, “Have you been seeing Miss Hunt recently?”
This time, Logan froze and went completely quiet.
