Chapter 913


    Mrs. Bailey was covering her face as her voice turned hoarse from crying as that was all she had been


    doing recently. Her world shattered, after all.


    However, Isabelle grabbed Mrs. Bailey and held it tightly. “Mom, Grandpa and Dad said that they’ll


    need me to support the family from now on, but how can I hold on if anything happens to you as well?”


    Immediately, Mrs. Bailey stopped crying before she stared at Isabelle and turned around abruptly.


    Although Mrs. Bailey’s face was teary, her facial expression hadpletely changed as her eyes


    widened. “What are they trying to do with you now? Haven’t they learned their lesson? Look at what


    they’ve done to my Dexter?! How dare they put their expectations on you now that Dexter is gone?! Do


    they still want to ruin more lives?!”


    Isabelle’s expression was one of helplessness. “I did tell Grandpa that I’m afraid that I won’t be able to


    manage it as I’m already under a lot of pressure, and I don’t want to do it, but maybe Grandpa and Dad


    have no other choice anymore.”


    Mrs. Bailey gritted her teeth. “All these people talk about is family and profit. Is the money that they’ve


    earned all these years not enough for them to spend?”


    Then, her mother tidied her hair and wiped off her tears before looking at Isabelle. “Belle, you can’t end


    up like your little brother, okay? You’re the only one that I have left now. Don’t listen to them, and don’t


    live for them. Instead, live for yourself.”


    It seemed like Mrs. Bailey had thought things through a lot after what happened.


    After that, she spoke to Isabelle in a serious manner. “If you really love John, just fight for it without


    caring about anything else. Life is too short for you to worry about others, so just try hard to fight for


    what you want and what you like.”


    Isabelle immediately cut her off. “No, no, no. I don’t like John anymore. He’s about to have a kid after


    all. If I continue going after him, I might need to suffer other people’s criticism in the future. Moreover,


    with my qualifications, I am able to get someone who loves me.”


    Although Mrs. Bailey was taken aback by what Isabelle said, she still felt relieved as shemented,


    “It’s good that you stopped being so stubborn. To be honest, I don’t think John deserves you.”


    Isabelle grinned at that. “Yeah. He doesn’t deserve me.”


    During the evening, John received the news from his underlings that they managed to find out the cars


    that were tailing Sophia, and as expected, they were using fake car tes.


    Right now, both of those cars were abandoned at a rubbish disposal centre in the suburbs.


    This was simr to Robin’s previous kidnap; the cars that were involved were also abandoned.


    However, instead of going over himself to check the cars, John only instructed his men to check if there


    were any valuable leads from the car, even though the chances of that happening was slim.


    After all, since they had been identified, they would surely get rid of anything that could be used as


    evidence against them.


    John was still in his office when he looked at the time and noticed that it was about time for him to clock


    off.


    He had replied to Isabelle’s text earlier and agreed on a ce to meet up. It seemed like Isabelle had


    something that she wanted to tell him, so John contacted Sophia and vaguely told her that he was


    meeting Isabelle to discuss something.Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    Still, Sophia sounded as if she didn’t care as she grunted and replied, “Alright then. I’m fine on my own


    anyway.”


    John didn’t know why, but he felt slightly irked.


    Why isn’t Sophia jealous at all when I told her that I am going to meet Isabelle? Is she really not


    worried?


    John didn’t feel good, but this feeling was finally suppressed when he saw Isabelle.
