Isabelle paused; something wasn’t feeling right.

Her parents’ breakfast was sent into their room this morning by the housekeeper and Isabelle saw Elder Mr. Bailey heading into her father’s room after she finished her breakfast and was heading upstairs.

She had been sensitive toward Elder Mr. Bailey’s actions lately, so she slowly inched closer.

Initially, Elder Mr. Bailey tried to get his son to snap out of it as Bailey Corporation’s operation couldn’t go on without him.

However, Old Mr. Bailey simply sighed. It was understandable for him to be unable to recover from something like this for a period of time after all.

A while later, Elder Mr. Bailey stopped and suddenly added, “Just watch. Our company will progress even further.”

Still, Old Mr. Bailey drowned in his sadness as he mumbled softly, “It won’t. My hope is gone along with Dexter.”

After a pause, Elder Mr. Bailey continued, “Belle is still here. We can still place our hopes on her.”

Isabelle stood by the door and heard that clearly.

A few seconds later, Elder Mr. Bailey went on to say, “It’s not like we reached a dead end on John’s side as well. Just do as you see fit.”

Isabelle didn’t understand what Elder Mr. Bailey meant back then, but now that John told her about what happened to Sophia earlier, she suddenly came to a realization.


Isabelle opened her mouth, but she didn’t know what to say. Before she could utter a word, John asked again, “Do you know where that butler went after he resigned?”
























Isabelle pursed her lips. “I don’t know.”

However, Isabelle suddenly recalled her father trying to probe where she was going to go when she asked John and Sophia out for a meal and arranged for people to stand on guard in front of the restaurant. Why would he do something like this? He must have been against someone there, and now, Isabelle could easily figure out who they were against back then.

Since both her father and grandfather prioritized John a lot, they naturally wouldn’t do anything to him, so the only person left was Sophia.

Isabelle admitted honestly that she disliked Sophia; she really disliked Sophia to the point that she even hated her.

However, she wouldn’t try to kill Sophia as she still had her humanity within her, and it was impossible for her to do something like that. Even back then when she pushed Sophia in the hospital, it was only because she was really triggered by what Sophia said.
