Chapter 889


    Sophia smirked before mocking, “You’re really something.”


    Anyway, John reminded her to stay put, informing her that he would pick her up at the clubhouse soon


    and send her home.


    She turned around to look at Logan and Ian, who had both cked out from drinking. Thinking that


    there was no point staying here, she agreed to John’s idea.


    While waiting for John, she called the clubhouse waiter over to take Ian and Logan back to the room.


    Next, she smoothed her shirt and went downstairs.


    Crossing her arms and leaning against the entrance of the clubhouse, she stared nkly at the stream


    of cars out there. Soon, John arrived before he got out of his car. When he noticed that she was


    standing at the entrance, he jogged over and immediately asked, “Where’s Ian?”


    Annoyed, she stole a nce at him. “Why? Do you miss him?”


    John snorted in a childish fashion. “I was just asking. I wanted to see if that man is still clingy to you all


    the time.”


    Not bothered to entertain him, she chided him, “Get lost! Do you think Ian is at your level?”


    Since the other two men were unconscious from drinking, there was no need for Sophia to bid


    goodbye, so she followed John to his car. The moment they were seated, John muttered, “Wait.”


    She froze in the middle of fastening her seatbelt and turned to stare at him. He was focused on the


    rearview mirror, squinting his eyes and losing his rxed expression from before. She was confused by


    the change in him, hence, she inched closer to him. “What’s the matter?”


    He merely replied that it was nothing, but his eyes remained focused on something in the rearview


    mirror. A whileter, he took out his phone and made a call. From his conversation, she learned that he


    noticed some abnormality in a car behind him. Because of this he requested for his bodyguards to


    intercept the vehicle in the middle of his trip back home.


    In fact, it was confirmed that John had arranged for some bodyguards to follow Sophia around, and the


    men should be nearby. The other party seemed to have taken his order in the call because he ended


    the call and started the car.


    Sophia stared at the rearview mirror, curious to know which car was trailing behind them. However, she


    could not tell at all. Perhaps the stalker is too skillful.

    Sophia initially thought that she was sharp and could notice any fishiness. Even after scanning the few


    cars behind them carefully, she still could not identify the problematic stalker. In the end, she gave up


    and leaned into her seat, staring at the flow of traffic in front of her.


    John drove steadily without getting affected by the stalking car behind. Sophia didn’t even know if his


    bodyguards managed to intercept the car that was following them. Throughout their entire journey


    home, there was nomotion at all.


    After the car was parked at the underground garage, she emerged from the car and turned to look at


    John, who was leaving at the same time. “Did they manage to stop the car?”


    He walked up and put an arm around her shoulder. “Probably. Let’s forget about that for now and have


    dinner. When I’m free after dinner, I’ll check the situation with them.”


    She noticed that John was reluctant to discuss the topic and therefore stopped pressing on. She could


    not get to the bottom of everything anyway, and it didn’t matter if she was in the dark on this matter.


    On the other side, Isabelle received from the hospital a post-mortem report with the analysis of the


    toxins in Dexter’s stomach, after which she sat in her car for a long time. Although she had foreseen


    this oue, the moment she faced the reality presented by the report, her heart still wrenched and


    ached.


    She could not possibly drive in her bad condition, therefore she ended up hailing a cab back home. The


    Bailey Residence was totally different from yesterday; the family was chaoticst night but eerily quiet


    today.


    At home, Isabelle slowly walked up the stairs and looked around when she reached the top of the


    stairs. Everyone else was in their respective rooms. They were cooped up, and their meals were


    brought up by the servants. After some thinking, she finally headed to Elder Mr. Bailey’s room.
