John grunted. “It has been my plan to make them transfer the inventory.” Otherwise, how could I even tackle them?
On the other side, Isabelle was sitting in the living room of the Bailey Residence.
Last night, her father came home past midnight, but early this morning, he was already out.
In the morning, Isabelle made a call to John, but he did not pick up.
He had not been picking up her calls over the past two days, which gave her a hunch that something was going to happen soon.
Seated on the sofa, she was holding her phone, wanting to send him a text to caution him.
However, before she could come up with the content, Mrs. Bailey started to make a scene again.
She ran down from the second floor and claimed that she saw Dexter.
Then, she stared eerily at a corner in the living room as she wailed and pleaded for Dexter to stay.
Isabelle hurriedly went up to hug her mom and comforted her over and over.
Exhausted from all the crying, Mrs. Bailey slumped onto the floor, sobbing in a hoarse voice.
Isabelle teared up upon seeing her mom’s grief. At the sight of that, she was also reminded of Dexter, which remained a painful topic for her.
On the other side of the house, Elder Mr. Bailey heard the commotion and emerged from his room. He stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor and gazed down at the hysterical Mrs. Bailey with an icy expression.
When Mrs. Bailey was too depleted to cry, Elder Mr. Bailey admonished her. “You’re still making a fuss? When are you going to stop? If you keep doing this, none of us will live in peace.”
Isabelle was shocked by his mean remark and stared up at her grandpa, who was standing on top of the stairs.
Perhaps it was due to the bad lighting, Elder Mr. Bailey appeared a little menacing with his figure being outlined by the light behind him.
Any remaining attachment Isabelle had for the Baileys was instantly gone in front of Elder Mr. Bailey’s merciless face.
The woman lying limp in Isabelle’s arms had lost all hope in life. Unfortunately, no one in this family had any sympathy left for her.

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...
