Chapter 250


    When Sophia returned, Old Mr. Bailey instantly checked behind her.


    Sophia knew who he was looking for and informed him, “Miss Bailey is in the washroom. She said that


    she felt sick.”


    Old Mr. Bailey shot up. “Sick?”


    Sophia borated without missing a beat, “It’s probably because the dining room was filled with


    smoke. I saw her breathing in and out in the washroom, looking a little pale.”


    Smoke? Indeed, someone was smoking in the dining room. It was not unusual for guests to smoke in a


    business meeting.


    If Isabelle could not even stand the smoke… William frowned because he had been smoking.


    Of course, Old Mr. Bailey would not trust Sophia’s words, but he believed that Isabelle had all the


    reason to feel sick. The sight of John and Sophia acting lovey-dovey was enough to upset her.


    He stood up andmented, “Dad, I’ll check on her.”


    Elder Mr. Bailey quickly nodded at his son. “Go.”


    The moment old Mr. Bailey was gone, Sophia leaned into her seat with a huge smile.


    John did not bother to read and decipher the situation. He did not have breakfast, and on top of that, he


    was exhausted fromst night. At that moment, his only thought was to fill his stomach before anything


    else.


    Old Mr. Bailey came back after some time with his daughter trotting behind, and both looked normal.


    Isabelle entered the room and apologized to everyone, exining that she had suffered from


    indigestion after taking in some food, which was why she had to take a rest away from thepany.


    She urged everyone to continue their meals without worrying about her.


    Not only that, she specifically addressed William and highlighted that she was feeling fine. Even so,


    William knew that he could not smoke anymore.


    The thought of William giving smoking a second thought whenever Isabelle was with them tickled


    Sophia. She immediately felt that everything had fallen into ce.


    Due to the unexpected episode, lunch ended fairly soon after that.


    The group exited the hotel after lunch. John and Isabelle hopped into the same car, and William


    entered his own car.


    After thinking, John remarked, “Thest time when we were dining out with the Baileys, we went back


    to the dining room of Logan Jefferson. Do you remember what you said to Ian Morgan back then?”


    Sophia furrowed her brows in confusion because she could notprehend the question that was


    being addressed to her. Anyway, John did not expect her to get it right away, and he ordered the driver


    to start the car.


    Halfway, Sophia finally understood the question. On that day, when they had returned to Logan’s room,


    Ian expressed his astonishment at how fast the dinner had ended.


    She recalled her reply from that day. “Yeah. When the Young Master Jefferson strikes, no dinner could


    end well.”


    It seemed that John was secretly implying that she had once again sessfully ruined another lunch


    with her sly maneuvers.

    Gosh, what was he talking about? But it was indeed true.


    Sophia felt that John’s description of her was urate, but she also took into consideration the status


    of her counterparts before acting. If the guests were not the Baileys or if Mrs. Constance was not


    around, she would have acted nice and agreeable.


    Unfortunately, she was forced to face the people she disliked over this lunch, which prompted her to


    put in her best effort in ruining the atmosphere.


    Sophia chuckled at the fact that John could read her. It wasn’t surprising, given that he was a shrewd


    man. How would he overlook her distaste for Isabelle?


    Even with that knowledge, he did not distance himself from Isabelle. What a jerk!


    Since John had taken some alcohol over lunch, he did not go back to his office and had the driver send


    both of them home.


    He was extremely fatigued because he had not slept wellst night and lost too much stamina. The


    fatigue crept in since morning, and he was thankful to have a legitimate excuse to rest at home.


    When the car was parked at the entrance, John got out and went straight into the house. On the other


    hand, Sophia attended to her nts before casually walking upstairs.
