Isabelle understood the hidden meaning behind John’s words. Since she wasn’t the love of his life, he would never
be passionate toward her. Even if they got married, their lives would be as tasteless as water. Even so, she would
want to try if she could make him fall head over heels for her.
After a pause, she nodded slowly. “Alright. I understand what you mean, and I know what to do.”
They decided to stay at the cashier counter. A moment later, Sophia and Matilda came out of the room, chatting
and smiling at each other as if they didn’t mind what John and Isabelle were talking about.
Turning to John, Sophia asked, “Are you done talking? Can we go now?”
Isabelle faced away from Sophia and wiped her tears with her hand.
With a milder expression, John pulled Sophia toward him. “Yes, we can go now.”
Without giving Isabelle a glance, Sophia and John walked down the stairs and reached for their car. Walking up to
Isabelle, Matilda gave it a thought and clapped her shoulder before leaving the place.
Upon wiping off the tears from the corners of her eyes, Isabelle gazed at John’s car. As the car started moving,
through the window, she could see Sophia saying something to John. While John’s expression remained calm,
Sophia guffawed.

Why does he love this kind of woman? I don’t get it. Up until now, Isabelle still didn’t think she was inferior to
Sophia. Although she could understand John’s choice, she remained unresigned.
After waiting for a bit, her phone started ringing. Her father called her to ask where she was. Without telling him
her location, she replied that the dinner was over, and she was ready to go home now.
Without getting the answer he wanted, he questioned again, “I’m asking where you are. Didn’t you say you are
going to have Japanese cuisine?”
Isabelle inquired, “What’s wrong?” Seeing as her father remained silent, she pursued, “Are you at the Japanese
restaurant? Aren’t you supposed to be in the company? Are you having dinner over there?”
Old Mr. Bailey heaved a sigh. “No, I was just asking.”
Isabelle’s gaze turned dim, but her voice remained calm as she questioned, “Oh, why are you curious about where I
am?”
As though her father was lost for words, he fell silent while Isabelle waited patiently. A while later, he let out a sigh.
“Forget it. Come home now.”
With a sweet voice, Isabelle replied, “Okay.” When the call ended, her expression turned dark.
Meanwhile, seated in the car, Matilda scowled. Until she couldn’t take it anymore, she asked, “Do you think Isabelle
really dropped something into the glass of water?”
Hearing that, Sophia grinned. “I believe so, but I don’t think it’s anything lethal. Perhaps it’s just some laxative. She
wouldn’t have been stupid enough to try to kill me at that point.”
If anything really happened to me, she would have been the prime suspect, Sophia thought.
John grunted. “Yes, maybe she was just trying to pull a prank.” Isabelle seems to have gotten over our relationship,
so I don’t think she would try to kill Sophia.
Matilda said, “That’s good.”
When they reached Constance Residence and stopped the car, they saw William speaking on the phone in the
garden.
Sophia gently pushed Matilda and said, “Go talk to him. Maybe he’s waiting for you.” Upon finishing her words, she
spread her arms and stretched her back. “I feel so sleepy after having dinner.”
