Sophia smirked before mocking, “You’re really something.”

Anyway, John reminded her to stay put, informing her that he would pick her up at the clubhouse soon and send

her home.

She turned around to look at Logan and Ian, who had both blacked out from drinking. Thinking that there was no

point staying here, she agreed to John’s idea.

While waiting for John, she called the clubhouse waiter over to take Ian and Logan back to the room. Next, she

smoothed her shirt and went downstairs.

Crossing her arms and leaning against the entrance of the clubhouse, she stared blankly at the stream of cars out

there. Soon, John arrived before he got out of his car. When he noticed that she was standing at the entrance, he

jogged over and immediately asked, “Where’s Ian?”

Annoyed, she stole a glance at him. “Why? Do you miss him?”

John snorted in a childish fashion. “I was just asking. I wanted to see if that man is still clingy to you all the time.”

Not bothered to entertain him, she chided him, “Get lost! Do you think Ian is at your level?”

Since the other two men were unconscious from drinking, there was no need for Sophia to bid goodbye, so she

followed John to his car. The moment they were seated, John muttered, “Wait.”

She froze in the middle of fastening her seatbelt and turned to stare at him. He was focused on the rearview

mirror, squinting his eyes and losing his relaxed expression from before. She was confused by the change in him,

hence, she inched closer to him. “What’s the matter?”

He merely replied that it was nothing, but his eyes remained focused on something in the rearview mirror. A while

later, he took out his phone and made a call. From his conversation, she learned that he noticed some abnormality

in a car behind him. Because of this he requested for his bodyguards to intercept the vehicle in the middle of his

trip back home.

In fact, it was confirmed that John had arranged for some bodyguards to follow Sophia around, and the men should

be nearby. The other party seemed to have taken his order in the call because he ended the call and started the

car.

Sophia stared at the rearview mirror, curious to know which car was trailing behind them. However, she could not

tell at all. Perhaps the stalker is too skillful.

Sophia initially thought that she was sharp and could notice any fishiness. Even after scanning the few cars behind

them carefully, she still could not identify the problematic stalker. In the end, she gave up and leaned into her seat,

staring at the flow of traffic in front of her.

John drove steadily without getting affected by the stalking car behind. Sophia didn’t even know if his bodyguards

managed to intercept the car that was following them. Throughout their entire journey home, there was no

commotion at all.

After the car was parked at the underground garage, she emerged from the car and turned to look at John, who

was leaving at the same time. “Did they manage to stop the car?”

He walked up and put an arm around her shoulder. “Probably. Let’s forget about that for now and have dinner.

When I’m free after dinner, I’ll check the situation with them.”

She noticed that John was reluctant to discuss the topic and therefore stopped pressing on. She could not get to the

bottom of everything anyway, and it didn’t matter if she was in the dark on this matter.

On the other side, Isabelle received from the hospital a post-mortem report with the analysis of the toxins in

Dexter’s stomach, after which she sat in her car for a long time. Although she had foreseen this outcome, the

moment she faced the reality presented by the report, her heart still wrenched and ached.

She could not possibly drive in her bad condition, therefore she ended up hailing a cab back home. The Bailey

Residence was totally different from yesterday; the family was chaotic last night but eerily quiet today.

At home, Isabelle slowly walked up the stairs and looked around when she reached the top of the stairs. Everyone

else was in their respective rooms. They were cooped up, and their meals were brought up by the servants. After
