Then, Isabelle sighed. “Now that the shadow bank’s operations are halted, those people probably won’t be able to escape, so let’s just stop this, alright?”
John chuckled. However, he didn’t say anything since it was better to stay quiet.
After a moment of silence on Isabelle’s end as she waited for John’s reply, he heard a rustling sound from the other end of the call. This time, John pretended as if he didn’t hear what she said, so she spoke up again a few moments later. “John, I’m begging you. Can you do it for me?”
John sighed. “Isabelle, you should know that the reason why I wanted to investigate the shadow bank in the first place was because they attacked me first.”
A few seconds later, Isabelle sighed and said with a helpless tone, “I understand. We can’t blame you for everything and I’ll be sure to give you an explanation once everything is over, but for now, considering our relationship in the past, can you stop pursuing it?”
John entered the hall and made his way toward the elevator. “Isabelle, if you’re free, we can find a place to meet up and discuss this since it’s hard to explain through a call. Also, I’m kind of busy now. We’ll see.”
Then, John hung up directly and snorted with derision. That old man actually wanted Isabelle to utilize her past relationship to negotiate with me? It seemed like he had really overestimated my relationship with Isabelle. There’s no chance I’m going to drop it; not after they had tried to attack Sophia.
After John hung up, he went to his office and reviewed two documents along with a report before getting his assistant into his office to arrange his upcoming schedule.
Then, his phone rang again.
This time, it was from his subordinate, informing him that they found out the identity of the person that the leg bone belonged to.
Surprised, John immediately asked him to send him the details.
Soon, his man sent him a document right after he hung up.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Returning EX (John and Sophia)
So what happens to Ian and Cindy. Is she/ or does she get pregnant? Do they go back to the city and Ian works with Logan? Does Aurora stay in the entertainment industry or return with Ian? Terrible ending, who cares if Aurora was drinking/drunk with colleagues. What happened with Ian and Cindy?!...
Get rid of Gary. Apparently Cindy is too dumb to figure out his motives 😡...
Why are you trying to break them up when they just got together and are a loving couple. Let them stay close and move back to their true friends, Logan, Lola, John and Sophia!...
Sure hope Ian pulls his head out of his behind and works this out with Cindy. His brother needs him at the company and neither one of them truly like the celebrity life. Sophia and Lola will love her …....
I can’t wait for John to take down the Bailey’s including Isabelle so he, Sophia, William and Matilda can live in peace. Introduce Yolanda to Richard so they are out of the picture....
Ugh, don’t break up Sophia and John… they belong together and Sophia is just stubborn for no reason...
Sophia lives John, he just needs to tell her he loves her and get on with their life and family. Too much interference from others....
Sophia is so stupid....
John needs to man up, tell his mother and Isabelle to take a flying leap and confess to Sophia that he made a horrible mistake in divorcing her. This story is taking too long and once again, the bitches are looking like they are on the right side. Awful...
