Chapter 986


    Elder Mr. Bailey nodded. “Of course we are being targeted. Nothing has happened to this ce all these years, but problems suddenly started


    arising during this time. I knew that something was wrong when so many of them went missing at the same time previously.”


    Initially, the old man wanted to pass everything to his son so that he could settle the uing issues, but he was still too slow.


    Since the two of them couldn’t reach a conclusion from their discussion, Elder Mr. Bailey could only ask his son to continue holding on and


    act ording to the situation in case anything happens again.


    On the other hand, after John left thepany in the evening, he received a phone call from Isabelle, telling him, “I’m at the cafe in front of


    you.”


    Taken aback, John turned toward the cafe in front of him.


    However, the sunlight was reflected by the cafe’s ss windows, so he couldn’t see who or what was inside the cafe.


    After pondering on it for a moment, he started heading toward the cafe.


    Isabelle was sitting at the corner of the cafe instead of by the window.


    When John entered, she waved and greeted him. “Here.”


    Then, he quickly walked over and sat in front of her before waving off the waiter that came over. “I’ll be leaving soon.”


    In response, the waiter nodded and left.


    Isabelle stared at John before she asked, “Are you scheming something recently?”


    John wasn’t nning to lie to her. “I am. It is actually ongoing right now.”


    When Isabelle heard that, she chuckled. “It’s rted to my family, am I right?”


    John stared at Isabelle. “I didn’t get to tell you what happened previously, but the man that I arranged to slip into the shadow bank was beaten


    half to death by your grandfather. He lodged a police report immediately after he was sent to the hospital. Now that the police are onto this, I


    can’t stop it anymore.


    ” However, Isabelle didn’t look like she was bothered by it at all. “Oh, I see.” Then, she bursted intoughter. “It’s fine, John. I’m not here to


    interrogate you. I just want to know your progress so that I can n to leave earlier if I can.” This time, John stared at Isabelle in surprise.


    “You’re leaving?” Isabelle leaned back onto her seat before she exhaled deeply. “To be honest, there’s no need for me to stay here to ward off


    trouble with them when they don’t even need me. Moreover, my mom will go insane if something happens to me as well.” What she said


    made sense, so John nodded. “If that’s your decision, I would advise you to leave as soon as possible. Now that the police are involved, this


    entire situation is out of my control and it might escte anytime soon.” At that moment, Isabelle looked conflicted as she stared at John.

    However, John wasn’t one to shy away. “What else do you want to say?” Isabelle retracted her gaze right then before she asked a few


    momentster, “John, when you’re investigating my family, have you ever hesitated for a moment, considering that we had an engagement in


    the past? Or rather, have you ever felt like dropping everything and letting them go considering our rtionship all these years?” John


    chuckled at that before he replied, “Why would you ask something so naive?” Although he didn’t answer her directly, it was enough to answer


    the uncertainty that Isabelle had. Running her fingers through her hair, Isabelle nodded. “Okay. I understand.” Then, the conversation ended,


    and John got up. “I’ll be leaving now. Sophia is waiting for me at home now and she might nag at me if I’mte.” Isabelle initially wanted to


    get up after she ced her phone down and kept her stuff, but when she heard what John said, she stopped and sighed. “You’re really a


    heartless person, John Constance.”
