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.”
