The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Chapter 935

John didn’t say anything else, nor did he worry about anyone sabotaging his car. Since his car was equipped with a

360-degree surveillance system, he would check it every time before getting into the car. Still, he frowned and

commented, “Elder Mr. Bailey seems to have found out something.”

After all, a bunch of people in the shadow bank had suddenly all disappeared.

Elder Mr. Bailey was not yet senile. All he had to do was to think about the people he had been targeting recently

and failed in doing so, then he would have his answer to his question of who was going up against him.

When John returned to the company after lunch, he noticed Isabelle waiting in the company lobby. Startled, he

looked at Isabelle and asked, “Why are you here? Is something wrong?”

Isabelle smiled. “There’s nothing wrong, but my heart is not at ease. So, I came over to chat with you. Maybe I’ll

feel better then.”

John frowned. “You’ll give the game away like this.”

When she heard his reminder, Isabelle was startled, and she immediately explained, “I was at home. Fortunately,

they haven’t doubted me so far.”

John didn’t speak any more and walked directly to the elevator. After thinking about it for a moment, Isabelle

followed him.

She was really not feeling well inside

Earlier, her grandfather went to talk to her father again. This time, they had closed the door and discussed

something with each other inside for a long time. Isabelle tried to eavesdrop outside, but there was not a sound

coming from inside. The two of them were behaving so guardedly that she felt they must be talking about

something terrifying. At that thought, Isabelle shuddered in her heart. Later, her father left straightaway. Isabelle

had wanted to follow him, but she was really afraid of being discovered. So, after sitting around at home for more

than an hour, she finally came to visit John. Isabelle felt that her grandfather probably knew that she was visiting

John, because when she left, he had let out a somewhat relieved smile. Now, Isabelle was following John to his

office. Zack glanced at her several times with a displeased expression. No matter how Isabelle behaved now, Zack

still didn’t like her. His dislike of her was deeply ingrained, and ever since the divorce between Sophia and John,

nothing had changed his perception of her. Isabelle didn’t look at Zack at all. Instead, she sat on the sofa in John’s

office modestly, trying to make herself practically invisible. Zack followed them into John’s office, took a chair and

sat across from John’s desk. In fact, there was nothing particularly important for him to be there. He just took a

random document and discussed it with John. The truth was that he just didn’t want John and Isabelle to be alone in

the office together. He couldn’t bear to watch such a scenario happen before him even more than Sophia.

It wasn’t clear whether Isabelle knew of Zack’s intentions. In any case, she just sat there motionlessly without a

word. John knew what Zack was doing. So, he glanced at the latter intermittently with an amused look. Zack

mouthed at John, I’m helping you. To that, the latter merely nodded and said nothing. Zack was indeed helping him.

If Sophia knew about this, she might not quarrel with him, but she would definitely ignore him again. His situation

with her now was really rather precarious. As Zack couldn’t possibly discuss the documents all afternoon with John,

he was finally left with nothing to say. Hence, he stood up and straightened his clothes, then said to John, “Mr.

Constance, I’ll take my leave first.” John grunted in response. After that, Zack turned around and walked out, but he

stopped in his tracks when he came to the sofa. Looking at Isabelle, he suggested, “Why don’t you follow me to the

meeting room, Miss Bailey? I’ll have someone serve you some fruits and pour you a cup of tea.” Since Zack had

said so, no matter how bold Isabelle was, she couldn’t possibly disagree. So, she quickly stood up and thanked Zack
