Next One Is a Babe

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 throughout the city. Thus, it was no surprise that they would prioritize those serious cases over trivial incidents like 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.”
