In the end, everyone gathered at Sophia’s place. While she was busy cooking, Robin was sitting in the living room
and calling home at the same time, telling her parents that she bunked down at Sophia’s place. In fact, Robin had
already informed her family the night before that she would be coming home late due to their celebration.
Therefore, she told them that she was afraid that she’d disturb them if she came home too late, so she decided to
stay over at her friend’s place instead.
When Sophia was done with cooking, everyone proceeded to enjoy their meal. Then, Logan called for his men to
see Robin home. After that, Logan looked at John and asked him, “Did you find out what happened?”
John shook his head. “Not a single thing.” Although the surveillance camera managed to capture the suspects’ car
heading toward the urban area, they were eventually able to get away with it due to the blind spots in the traffic
there. Therefore, the police couldn’t track down the places the suspects had been to. Instead, they only
concentrated on the mountain where Robin was found even though they still failed to find any useful lead in the
end.
Nonetheless, the police promised to look into the matter, although they couldn’t guarantee that the mystery could
be solved. After all, the information they had was way too limited to proceed with the investigation any further, plus
there was nothing serious that happened in the end. With their limited powers, the police would rather direct their
focus on criminal cases that were more urgent and serious.
Therefore, they could all empathize with the law enforcers, considering the number of cases they had to attend to

this one. Unlike his usual bluff manner, he spoke up for the police. “It’s not easy for them either.”
Sophia came closer while hugging her shoulders. “They’re all after me, aren’t they?”
John didn’t dare to jump to conclusions, but from the looks of things at the moment, it appeared that the matter
was as Sophia inferred that whoever did this was indeed after her. Sophia then sat on the couch and asked herself,
“Who did I cross?”
John went ahead and said, “I spoke to my mom last night. She is innocent, and I’m sure she didn’t lie because I
know that’s not who she is.”
Sophia didn’t think Matilda was behind the abduction either, knowing that she wouldn’t be able to pull off something
like this by herself. She is too dim-witted to do something like this. The most she’d do is probably just hiring some
two-bit thugs to rough me up. Anything more than that would prove too challenging for her. At the thought of that,
Sophia nodded and said, “It’s not her.”
Logan then pondered and said, “It must be Isabelle then. You both haven’t exactly gotten along with each other well
either, just like the last time when you ladies argued over some nightdress.” Sophia knitted his brows and
wondered. Really? Isabelle? But I have a feeling she is not behind all this because she is not dumb after all. She may
have a crush on John and would rather do anything for him, but she doesn’t always have to do it herself.
Furthermore, it’d draw a lot of attention to pull off a stunt this big unless it’s perfectly planned and coordinated.
Therefore, I think Isabelle is smart enough to keep herself out of trouble like this one.
Sophia shook her head and replied, “I don’t think it’s her either.”
“Why not? My intuition tells me she is the one!” Logan blurted out, “Isabelle is always up to something. Don’t let her
innocent look fool you! She is full of deceptions, and no one should ever hang around with her.”
Upon hearing that, Sophia shot a gaze at John and noticed his furrowed brows, realizing his calm expression despite
Logan’s provocative remark. After that, she took her gaze off the man, wondering why he didn’t stand up for
Isabelle even when Logan accused her.
Upon making his point, Logan shifted his gaze to John and asked, “What do you think? Do you think Isabelle is
behind all this? I think it’s her.”
John paused and said, “Well, I can’t conclude anything until I investigate the matter. After all, we need evidence to
confirm our suspicion.”
