Elder Mr. Bailey nodded. “Of course we are being targeted. Nothing has happened to this place all these years, but problems suddenly started arising during this time. I knew that something was wrong when so many of them went missing at the same time previously.”
Initially, the old man wanted to pass everything to his son so that he could settle the upcoming issues, but he was still too slow.
Since the two of them couldn’t reach a conclusion from their discussion, Elder Mr. Bailey could only ask his son to continue holding on and act according to the situation in case anything happens again.
On the other hand, after John left the company in the evening, he received a phone call from Isabelle, telling him, “I’m at the cafe in front of you.”
Taken aback, John turned toward the cafe in front of him.
However, the sunlight was reflected by the cafe’s glass windows, so he couldn’t see who or what was inside the cafe.
After pondering on it for a moment, he started heading toward the cafe.
Isabelle was sitting at the corner of the cafe instead of by the window.
When John entered, she waved and greeted him. “Here.”
Then, he quickly walked over and sat in front of her before waving off the waiter that came over. “I’ll be leaving soon.”
In response, the waiter nodded and left.
Isabelle stared at John before she asked, “Are you scheming something recently?”
John wasn’t planning to lie to her. “I am. It is actually ongoing right now.”
Isabelle retracted her gaze right then before she asked a few moments later, “John, when you’re investigating my family, have you ever hesitated for a moment, considering that we had an engagement in the past? Or rather, have you ever felt like dropping everything and letting them go considering our relationship all these years?”
John chuckled at that before he replied, “Why would you ask something so naive?”
Although he didn’t answer her directly, it was enough to answer the uncertainty that Isabelle had.
Running her fingers through her hair, Isabelle nodded. “Okay. I understand.”
Then, the conversation ended, and John got up. “I’ll be leaving now. Sophia is waiting for me at home now and she might nag at me if I’m late.”
Isabelle initially wanted to get up after she placed her phone down and kept her stuff, but when she heard what John said, she stopped and sighed. “You’re really a heartless person, John Constance.”

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...
