Isabelle paused; something wasn’t feeling right.
Her parents’ breakfast was sent into their room this morning by the housekeeper and Isabelle saw Elder Mr. Bailey heading into her father’s room after she finished her breakfast and was heading upstairs.
She had been sensitive toward Elder Mr. Bailey’s actions lately, so she slowly inched closer.
Initially, Elder Mr. Bailey tried to get his son to snap out of it as Bailey Corporation’s operation couldn’t go on without him.
However, Old Mr. Bailey simply sighed. It was understandable for him to be unable to recover from something like this for a period of time after all.
A while later, Elder Mr. Bailey stopped and suddenly added, “Just watch. Our company will progress even further.”
Still, Old Mr. Bailey drowned in his sadness as he mumbled softly, “It won’t. My hope is gone along with Dexter.”
After a pause, Elder Mr. Bailey continued, “Belle is still here. We can still place our hopes on her.”
Isabelle stood by the door and heard that clearly.
A few seconds later, Elder Mr. Bailey went on to say, “It’s not like we reached a dead end on John’s side as well. Just do as you see fit.”
Isabelle didn’t understand what Elder Mr. Bailey meant back then, but now that John told her about what happened to Sophia earlier, she suddenly came to a realization.
Isabelle opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say. Before she could utter a word, John asked again, “Do you know where that butler went after he resigned?”
Isabelle pursed her lips. “I don’t know.”
However, Isabelle suddenly recalled her father trying to probe where she was going to go when she asked John and Sophia out for a meal and arranged for people to stand on guard in front of the restaurant. Why would he do something like this? He must have been against someone there, and now, Isabelle could easily figure out who they were against back then.

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...
