Sophia and Matilda were strolling about in the garden. William and John saw them at once when they got out of the

car, after which they stopped in their tracks. William stood next to the car and looked in Matilda’s direction. “When

your matter is handed over to Dylan, the Bailey Family’s matters are also handed over to him. Although Isabelle is

still the main person responsible for them, most of the work has been handed over to the business manager.”

John made a noncommittal grunt. “Really? I haven’t noticed. At work, I’m not really interested in their family’s

matters.”

William paused for a moment before asking, “Did that guy you capture say anything?”

Turning his head, John looked at William. “He did reveal some of it, and I’m investigating now. I have a feeling that it

has something to do with the Bailey Family. But it’s just a feeling.”

William froze. Then, he frowned and asked, “Are you sure?”

After all, the Bailey Family was involved in business. Although they had many tactics and schemes, they probably

wouldn’t do such a thing. Even if they really had a dispute with the Constance Family, they would just lay some

obstacles for the latter in the business circle instead of getting someone to do something so unscrupulous like this.

It was simply not something people in business did.

John considered for a minute. “It’s only a guess. After all, I don’t have any hard evidence right now that proves that

it’s the Bailey Family who is behind it. I’ll continue investigating the matter.”

William and John hadn’t moved and remained standing by the car. Sophia and Matilda remembered that lunch was

ready by now, so they came back from the garden, only to run into the men.

Seeing them, Matilda couldn’t help smiling at once. William stared at her, and the corners of his mouth twitched

uncontrollably too.

But Sophia wasn’t smiling. Instead, she slowly walked over to John’s side and said, “Isabelle invited us to have

dinner with her this evening.”

John nodded as Matilda had called to tell him about this before.

Stretching out his hand, he took Sophia’s hand and held it in his palm. “She came to the company today and asked

me as well, but I refused her. I didn’t expect you two to agree.”

Sophia chuckled. “I see Isabelle has learned how to tackle both sides.”

Walking up to William, Matilda asked, “Why did you come back at noon? It’s too troublesome to come and go like

this.”

William didn’t mind at all. “It’s okay. The lunch break is quite long, so I have the time for this.”

Matilda nodded in response. The four of them then walked toward the main building.

Old Mrs. Constance was standing at the door of the main building. She had wanted to go over to call Sophia and

Matilda for lunch, but when she saw them coming over, she just stood there and watched.

The scene that unfolded before her had never existed before. Not only did John and Sophia have a bad relationship

with each other, but Matilda and William had also never walked side by side so peacefully before.

It wasn’t that the two of them had never had a walk like this in the past thirty years of their married life. The point

was that they had never been so agreeable with each other before.

Back then, when they walked together, Matilda talked most of the time while William kept quiet. But now, the two of

them were talking and laughing together as they came over. Old Mrs. Constance had never seen such a sight in her

life.

Sophia walked a little faster than the others. When she saw Old Mrs. Constance standing there, she knew that lunch

was ready. Hence, she quickly said, “I’m starving. Quick, let’s go and eat.”

She was much more energetic than before. Upon seeing her like that, Old Mrs. Constance became more satisfied

with her. She laughed and told Sophia, “Hurry up then. The food is ready.” Then she looked at John and William. “I

knew that you two would be back at noon, so I had the kitchen prepare your lunch too.”

William was a little embarrassed as he smiled through pursed lips, while John did not have much reaction at all.

After all, he had gotten used to being thick-skinned.

During lunch, Sophia told everyone that she was going over to Logan’s clubhouse with Matilda later.
