Next One Is a Babe

Chapter 1049

Then, Isabelle sighed. “Now that the shadow bank’s operations are halted, those people probably won’t be able to escape, so let’s just stop this, alright?”

John chuckled. However, he didn’t say anything since it was better to stay quiet.

After a moment of silence on Isabelle’s end as she waited for John’s reply, he heard a rustling sound from the other end of the call. This time, John pretended as if he didn’t hear what she said, so she spoke up again a few moments later. “John, I’m begging you. Can you do it for me?”

John sighed. “Isabelle, you should know that the reason why I wanted to investigate the shadow bank in the first place was because they attacked me first.”

A few seconds later, Isabelle sighed and said with a helpless tone, “I understand. We can’t blame you for everything and I’ll be sure to give you an explanation once everything is over, but for now, considering our relationship in the past, can you stop pursuing it?”

John entered the hall and made his way toward the elevator. “Isabelle, if you’re free, we can find a place to meet up and discuss this since it’s hard to explain through a call. Also, I’m kind of busy now. We’ll see.”

Then, John hung up directly and snorted with derision. That old man actually wanted Isabelle to utilize her past relationship to negotiate with me? It seemed like he had really overestimated my relationship with Isabelle. There’s no chance I’m going to drop it; not after they had tried to attack Sophia.


After John hung up, he went to his office and reviewed two documents along with a report before getting his assistant into his office to arrange his upcoming schedule.

Then, his phone rang again.

This time, it was from his subordinate, informing him that they found out the identity of the person that the leg bone belonged to.

Surprised, John immediately asked him to send him the details.

Soon, his man sent him a document right after he hung up.

John transferred the document into his computer before he briefly scanned through it to see a complete set of information about a missing person.

This person obviously wasn’t a good person as he was involved in drugs, alcohol and prostitution.

Two years back, he loaned an amount of money from the shadow bank and it was the highest limit of money available for loan at the shadow bank.

However, he never returned the money. Rather than the case of him being unable to pay the debt, it was more like he didn’t plan to return the money at all right from the beginning.

It seemed like he was sure that the shadow bank wouldn’t be able to deal with him, so he continued acting without a care for his life.
