Sophia hurriedly sent a message to John and told him about it. There was no reply from him, so he was probably
busy. If this had happened in the past, Sophia would definitely be angry if John did not reply to her message for a
long time, or perhaps she would lose her temper with him when he came back. But now, especially the previous
day, when she saw those blood stains on John’s clothes, she had felt a change in her heart instantly.
In fact, it did not matter whether the message was answered on time or not. What mattered was that the person
was safe. Life was short, so why should one ever waste such limited time on quarreling? Sophia felt that her
thoughts seemed to have broken through another realm and reached a height that she had never imagined before.
Meanwhile, Isabelle sat in the room watching TV. There was nothing else to do around here other than to watch TV
to allow her to pass time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were guards at the door of her room and in the living room, but Isabelle didn’t care as she thought it was
much better like this. Finally, there was no need for her to face her grandfather and father, nor was there any need
for her to face the empty and lifeless Bailey Residence.
Right now, the only thing she couldn’t let go of was her mother. Her phone had been taken away by Elder Mr.
Bailey, so she was essentially living a life of isolation, and she was unable to contact her mother, so she wondered
how worried she would be.
Isabelle finished watching a long episode of a TV series, then got up and went out of the room.
As soon as the door was opened, the guard outside immediately looked at her and asked, “Miss, what do you
need?”
Isabelle said without expression, “I’m thirsty.”
The guard didn’t let Isabelle come out at all. He asked her to wait for a while, then he went to get her a bottle of
water. After Isabelle took it, she turned and went back into her room, closing the door after her. She went back to
the bed and sat down, no longer in the mood to watch TV.
The bottle of water was left untouched beside her as she just sat there, her eyes fixed on a random spot as many
pictures flashed through her mind.
In fact, Isabelle had long since expected that her actions would be discovered by her grandfather one day. So, when
she flipped through the files in his safe and was caught by him on the spot, she did not panic at all. Elder Mr. Bailey
was so angry that he used his cane to hit her back several times.
Despite being hit, Isabelle didn’t feel any pain at all. Instead, she only felt numb; both her soul and body had lost all

she was to follow his instructions when contacting the outside world. Isabelle felt that it didn’t matter since Elder Mr.
Bailey couldn’t lock her up here forever. If she wanted to go out, she would be able to go out someday. After
thinking about it for a long time, Isabelle lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling. She now had a lot of time, so she
could think about many, many things. Isabelle blinked and thought of John. In her life, he was the only man who had
caught her interest. God had favored her and sent the man to her side, but for some reason, she couldn’t keep his
heart with her. She knew that John was probably aware that she was locked up. After all, Sophia had called her, and
though the former spoke harshly and bombarded her with all kinds of ridicule, she could tell that Sophia was trying
to extend the call and figure out where she was. Isabelle did not have a good impression of Sophia. No matter
what, she couldn’t like the latter, since Sophia had robbed her of her most beloved person in the world.
Nevertheless, Isabelle was rather grateful to Sophia for trying to help her out of this mess. After lying down for a
long time like this, Isabelle fell asleep. In her sleep, Isabelle heard some noises outside and woke up. She was in a
farmyard, and the location was quite rural. There was no one living around it. .
