When Old Mr. Bailey hung up the call, Isabelle turned around and returned to her office. With her thoughts all jumbled up, she plunged into her seat and scowled.
Dad didn’t speak much over the phone just now, so I can’t really pinpoint what their secret plan is. But from how they kept the plan from me, I swear they’re up to no good.
After sitting for a while, she rose from the chair, picked up her bag, and left the company. She headed straight to Constance Company instead of buying a gift or sending messages to tell everyone that she had booked another restaurant.
Without going in, she parked her car across the road and gazed at the company’s entrance. Since it was working time, only a few people passed through the door.
A long time later, the person she wanted to meet never appeared. After giving it a thought, she fished out her phone and called John, but he never answered it no matter how long the ringtone sounded. She wasn’t sure whether he was busy or he just didn’t want to pick up her call. Even she was aware that she had been overly pestering him recently. He must be sick of me by now.
In the evening, Logan returned to the clubhouse as he went upstairs while cursing. Earlier, Sophia and Matilda had invited two more servants over to continue playing poker. Although no money was involved, the four of them were deep in the moment.
When Logan stepped into the room with a long face and saw the four joyful poker players, his fury suddenly subsided. Catching a glimpse of him, Sophia inquired, “What’s wrong? Why the long face? It’s hard to believe that someone could make you so angry.”
Logan hummed and took a seat beside her. “It’s no big deal. I just came across some annoying people.”
Without probing further, Sophia refocused on the game. After sitting for a while, Logan appeared to be in an uneasy state as he repeatedly crossed his legs, and he obviously never paid attention to the game.
In the middle of the game, Sophia asked him if she should make a certain move. After being asked, he came to his senses, but he didn’t even know what her question was. His expression amused Sophia. “What happened to you? You’re so unlike your usual self.”

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...
