Chapter 416
The possibility of having someone pass a message for them didn’t sound feasible, as while the siblings
weren’t much capable themselves, they looked down upon others, so they always opted to do things on
their own instead of trusting someone else with their tasks. If they were trying to frame Logan, they
would definitely meet with Tom Poole in person.
With a hum, John hung up the call. He returned to his room while pondering what Logan told him about
the conflict not only with the Morgans, but with Isabelle as well. However, John didn’t believe that

Isabelle would do anything out of line.
While it wasn’t out of trust in her character, he knew her as a smart person who knew the importance of
avoiding suspicion. No matter how much she abhorred Logan, she wouldn’t do that at this point in time.
After casting his phone on the bed, John turned to leave for the shower. When he came back out, the
phone was lit up, indicating that he had a new message. He checked on it to see a message from
Isabelle asking if he would be present during Kate ckwell’s birthday party, to which he gave a reply
in the affirmative.
Then his phone immediately rang with a call from Isabelle. Over the phone, she told him that she
received an invitation, thus would like to know what time John would be leaving for the event and if he
would want to attend it alongside her. A frown formed on John’s face as he knew he should be avoiding
Isabelle. He could still recall what William told him.
However, his hesitance was obvious enough of a reply to Isabelle, to which she responded with a
smile. “It’s alright if you have prior engagements, as I can always go with my father. The only downside
to that would be I would have less to talk about with him than with someone around my age.”
Upon witnessing his silence on the matter, Isabelle added on, “We will go to the venue separately. If
anything else arises during the asion, we can always meet up at the venue.”
John gave her a nonchnt hum, through which Isabelle could detect he didn’t possess a lot of zest in
him. After some pleasantries, she was about to hang up, but John called out to her with something else
in mind, saying, “Miss Bailey.”
There was a pause on her side before she responded, “What’s the matter?”
John cut to the chase. “I heard you had an argument with Sophia and Logan today.”
While his words startled her, she began mocking him, but didn’t fail to portray herself as being grave
about the matter. “Are you trying to invoke justice upon me?”
John scoffed before responding to her query, “I do not perceive myself as being qualified to do so. All I
want to know is if it happened.”
“Of course, it did,” Isabelle replied firmly. “But I wasn’t in the wrong.”
Truth be told, John cared not who was in the wrong. tly, he said, “Logan is rather childish, which I
believe you already know. I will only advise you to avoid engaging yourself in a conflict with him, as he
isn’t above doing anything if you manage to get on his bad side.”
Isabelle was displeased by what John said. “I know that much, so I never engaged him in a conflict.”
At this, John snickered. “I forgot to tell you that Sophia is in fact an even less desirable opponent
Before Isabelle could say anything else, John went on, adding, “No matter what the current status of
our rtionship is, I will never wish to see her being wronged or bullied, as I will be forced to choose a
side in the ensuing conflict, so I’m informing you of this beforehand. That way, our families can avoid
some unnecessary conflicts, which could save both our faces.”
No reply came from Isabelle after that, but John didn’t care enough to wait for one, opting instead to
hang up. The tion he felt upon doing so was both surprising and confusing. After a while, he then
proceeded to check his Facebook.
