The Returning EX (John and Sophia) novel Chapter 1009

After waiting for a while, Isabelle went over to turn on the TV again. She randomly changed to a somewhat noisy program. The truth was that she didn’t really want to watch it; she just wanted to make a little sound come out from the room.

John’s subordinate left Isabelle’s farmyard and immediately called John to tell him about the exchange with Isabelle just now. In response, John raised his eyebrows with interest. “Oh? Is that so?”

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Bailey Residence was worse than before. Now that Isabelle was no longer there, there were only two old men living in the main building. Day by day, the house had become increasingly lifeless.

Recently, Old Mr. Bailey went out early and came home late. He rarely spent time in the Bailey Residence. On the other hand, Elder Mr. Bailey would go out occasionally, but he spent most of his time in his room, like now as he stood at the window, looking out to the backyard of Bailey Residence.

This was everything he owned and had worked hard for with his own hands, but it seemed that he could no longer defend it this time.

Elder Mr. Bailey was very perceptive and could detect turbulence outside with his instincts. After standing there for a while, he took out his phone and called his people at the shadow bank.

Although the shadow bank had been closed down for investigation, there were still a few people who had escaped and moved away.

Elder Mr. Bailey’s call was picked up immediately. At once, he said, “Go and investigate John Constance. See what he is up to recently. I think our current situation has something to do with him.”

After a brief pause over there, the subordinate said he understood. The old man didn’t talk about anything else and simply hung up the phone.

Then, he turned and went to the closet. He could still remember that scene when he opened the door and entered the place just in time to see Isabelle going through his safe. Despite having guarded against everyone, he didn’t think of guarding against his own family members. In fact, he had never dreamed that Isabelle would backstab him like that.

John felt that if he started from this, it would bring about drastic effects in taking down the Bailey Family, but Isabelle had also begged him to be merciful.

After pondering over it, he found it difficult to think of a way to deal with this matter so that the Bailey Family could be brought down without being completely destroyed.

In the end, John decided to call Logan and discuss with him about what to do next. After all, Logan was quite close to Lola recently. So, he guessed that Logan had shared all the information with her. However, he hoped that the other man could hold back a little as considering Lola’s upright character, she would definitely destroy the Bailey Family straightaway if she came to know all these things.

Since Isabelle did provide John with a lot of helpful information, it wouldn’t be right for John to ignore her request.
