Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 997

Better luck next time—this was what Yolanda had been constantly telling herself. In fact, Yolanda should have stopped scratching the figurative lottery ticket after the first word was revealed.

However, she was the one who couldn't let go. She had to scratch until all four words were being revealed in front of her before she was willing to give up. So, she was the one who had been embarrassing herself.

Yolanda exhaled and smiled at herself self-deprecatingly.

On the other side, Matilda sat in the car and hummed happily.

Smiling helplessly, William commented, "You look so happy."

Matilda turned to look at him. "Aren't you happy? The two of us were fighting for you just now. Don’t you see how popular you are?"

William stretched his arms and replied, "Come on. Can this really be considered as ‘popular’? I'm scared stiff."

Matilda simply smiled without a word.

The two cars parked one after the other in the parking lot of the Constance Residence. Sophia was still sitting in the garden over there. Seeing them arriving, she slowly came over and glanced at Matilda. "Did you see her?"

Matilda nodded. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect that I would really bump into her there."

When they heard that, William and John instantly realized who they were talking about. Shaking his head helplessly, the former turned his head and said to John, "Let's go inside. We’d better not participate in the topic these two women are talking about." If we’re not careful, we’ll really stir up a hornet’s nest here.

John didn't say anything but followed William to the main building first, while Sophia and Matilda sat in the garden for a while.

Then, William took the opportunity to ask John about the Bailey Family's situation. He had also noticed that it was very likely that the Bailey Family's affairs had everything to do with John.

John grabbed an orange and peeled it slowly. “Honestly, nobody can blame me for what’s happening to the Bailey Family. They were too ruthless in what they did to us. If they hadn’t provoked me, I wouldn’t have bothered with them.”

If they hadn't tried to cause harm to Sophia, John would never have bothered to investigate the shadow bank's affairs. Naturally, it would then be impossible for the domino effect to happen and the subsequent problems to occur.

William didn't question John any further on his intentions. Instead, he just asked, "Are you sure you can destroy them with the shadow bank?"
