After waiting for a while, Isabelle went over to turn on the TV again. She randomly changed to a somewhat noisy
program. The truth was that she didn’t really want to watch it; she just wanted to make a little sound come out
from the room.
John’s subordinate left Isabelle’s farmyard and immediately called John to tell him about the exchange with Isabelle
just now. In response, John raised his eyebrows with interest. “Oh? Is that so?”
Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Bailey Residence was worse than before. Now that Isabelle was no longer there,
there were only two old men living in the main building. Day by day, the house had become increasingly lifeless.
Recently, Old Mr. Bailey went out early and came home late. He rarely spent time in the Bailey Residence. On the
other hand, Elder Mr. Bailey would go out occasionally, but he spent most of his time in his room, like now as he
stood at the window, looking out to the backyard of Bailey Residence.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis was everything he owned and had worked hard for with his own hands, but it seemed that he could no longer
defend it this time.
Elder Mr. Bailey was very perceptive and could detect turbulence outside with his instincts. After standing there for
a while, he took out his phone and called his people at the shadow bank.
Although the shadow bank had been closed down for investigation, there were still a few people who had escaped
and moved away.
Elder Mr. Bailey’s call was picked up immediately. At once, he said, “Go and investigate John Constance. See what
he is up to recently. I think our current situation has something to do with him.”
After a brief pause over there, the subordinate said he understood. The old man didn’t talk about anything else and
simply hung up the phone.
Then, he turned and went to the closet. He could still remember that scene when he opened the door and entered
the place just in time to see Isabelle going through his safe.
Despite having guarded against everyone, he didn’t think of guarding against his own family members. In fact, he
had never dreamed that Isabelle would backstab him like that. When Elder Mr. Bailey remembered this, he was still
so furious that he slammed the cane in his hand a few times on the ground involuntarily. This is all because she is
my own granddaughter! This is all because Dexter is now gone! Otherwise, I would never have dealt with her so
lightly! After a few minutes of rage, Elder Mr. Bailey then opened the safe and took out the files inside. He now felt
that these things were not secure enough here. So, he packed them all up and waited for his son to come back so
that he could transfer all these files to him and let him find somewhere else to store them. Elder Mr. Bailey once
thought that the Bailey Residence was impenetrable and impossible for outsiders to invade. When he thought about
it now, he realized that he was the one who had been overconfident. John had managed to turn Isabelle against her

He no longer trusted anyone else from the Bailey Family. On the other hand, now that John had received news from
Isabelle and heard from her that there was nothing wrong with her and she didn’t need his help, he felt much more
relieved. However, Isabelle had also said that her father held a document related to the whereabouts of the
remaining inventory at the shadow bank. John felt that if he started from this, it would bring about drastic effects in
taking down the Bailey Family, but Isabelle had also begged him to be merciful. After pondering over it, he found it
difficult to think of a way to deal with this matter so that the Bailey Family could be brought down without being
completely destroyed. In the end, John decided to call Logan and discuss with him about what to do next. After all,
Logan was quite close to Lola recently. So, he guessed that Logan had shared all the information with her. However,
he hoped that the other man could hold back a little as considering Lola’s upright character, she would definitely
destroy the Bailey Family straightaway if she came to know all these things. Since Isabelle did provide John with a
lot of helpful information, it wouldn’t be right for John to ignore her request.
