Chapter 690


    When John was about to exin, Matilda said, “Yes, I used to dislike her. Her family can’t help you in


    your career, and Isabelle looks so smart, and her family’s great. If she marries you, your life would be


    easier, or so I thought. I admit I changed in the first ce because of her pregnancy, but the more I talk


    to her, the more I think she’s a nicedy.


    I thought she was clinging onto you because of money, but now I know you’re clinging onto her. Yes,


    her temper’s a problem, but she’s not evil, nor does she scheme or trick anyone. Aside from her


    background, there’s nothing wrong with her. And well, the rest is history.”


    Relieved, John nodded. “It’s great that you two can get along. Makes my life easier.”


    Matilda snorted. “Don’t let your guard down. I won’t be too sure if your life will be easier.” Then she


    waved him down. “You do your stuff. I’ll be going up now.”


    Before Matilda went up, John asked, “I’ll be going to the residence tonight, so I might be seeing Dad.


    Do you have anything you want me to tell him?”


    Matilda paused, then she looked back. “Nope. Nothing at all.” She smiled. “I’ve thought about it, and


    really, I shouldn’t be forcing this rtionship. I should be living my life first.”


    It was hard, but eventually Matilda got over it. She used to be someone who’d obsess over every little


    thing, and after her divorce with William, she had been living her life numbly. However, after getting


    along with Sophia and observing how boldly she led her life, her eyes were open to new vistas


    previously vague to her.


    She should have understood it given her age, but still she remained childish until she got along with


    Sophia. When she thought about what she was like before, Matilda would get embarrassed. I wonder


    how they saw me then.


    Looking at Matilda, John nodded. “Sure. I understand.”


    Matilda then went upstairs. “If you see him, don’t mention me at all if possible.” William probably has


    nothing but bad memories of me.


    John drove to thepany, and Zack was already waiting in his office. When he saw John, Zack


    handed him a document. “Take a look at this.”


    John took it. “A name list? How did you get it?”


    All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.


    Zack nodded. “Husky did it. You know, the guy you introduced. He’s working as a debt collector in the


    shadow bank. This is the list of debt collectors and errand workers of the bank. He needs to have some


    clearance before getting the list of the management.”


    John read through the list, but he recognized none of the names, so he put the document down.


    “Alright. Any other development?”


    Zack nodded. “Roselia brought news. She said she hooked up with a guy whose brother is working in


    the shadow bank. Then the guy said the shadow bank is just a pretext. They have another business in


    the shadows, pun not intended, and it’s running well.


    But even the mention of the shadow bank struck fear into the guy’s heart. He told Roselia to not ask


    anything rting to it, and that she should steer clear of his brother if she ever saw him. ‘Don’t mention


    anything about the shadow bank,’ he said.”
