    Chapter 911


    Elder Mr. Bailey was stunned as he turned around to face Isabelle. “You don’t like John anymore? But I


    thought you’ve always liked him?”


    Isabelle sighed. “I was in denial back then, but I finally understand now. It’s useless when my love


    toward him is just one-sided. Since he doesn’t like me, there’s no use liking him anyway. Moreover, I’m


    already tired. I just want to find someone who loves me back.”


    Then, Elder Mr. Bailey raised his hand and patted Isabelle’s shoulder. “You shouldn’t rush it. Some


    things wille even though it might take a little longer.”


    Isabelle nced at Elder Mr. Bailey’s face before she continued, “But I don’t want to wait any longer.


    I’ve been waiting for so long and I don’t know how much longer I should wait at this point. I’m


    exhausted. If my date goes well, an addition in the family can also lighten up the mood in the family and


    my parents might be able to walk out from what happened to Dexter. It might actually be good for the


    family.”


    The old man sighed. “Belle, a blind date is really not as easy as what you think. I’ve asked around my


    family friends, but none of their children stand out, so even if you were to be matchmade with them,


    you might not find the person that you’re looking for.”


    Isabelle smiled at that. “I don’t ask for much. It’s fine as long as they’re nice to me and keep me close


    at heart. I don’t really care about anything else as we all shouldn’t be too ungrateful. It’s alright if they


    don’t stand out.”


    However, Elder Mr. Bailey shook his head. “You don’t get it, Belle. Your father and I are already old and


    we need someone to take over the family. Now that Dexter is gone, we can only rely on you now.


    Feelings can’t bring you to ces, but your strengths can, so there’s no way that you can settle with


    someone ordinary.”


    Isabelle chuckled awkwardly. “I’m just a woman, so what can I even do? I already feel guilty even when


    I hear you talking about it.”


    Still, Elder Mr. Bailey went on saying, “Why do you even feel guilty about it? So what if you’re a


    woman? Women can take over their family’s business as well. Look at the four Young Ladies of the


    Jefferson Family; aren’t they handling the family’s business well? On the contrary, Logan Jefferson is


    literally an embarrassment of their family.”

    Isabelle didn’t say anything about Logan.


    Although she used to look down on Logan and felt that the Jeffersons really failed to raise their son


    well, she now felt like she had no right to judge other people’s family.


    The Baileys had always thought that they had been providing a good upbringing to their children, but


    they ended up forcing Dexter to his demise.


    Then, Elder Mr. Bailey tried to console Isabelle by saying, “Don’t worry too much and rest well. I’ll tell


    you what to do next. Rest assured, Belle. What you want will surely be yours.”


    Although Isabelle didn’t say anything further, she felt like Elder Mr. Bailey’s condition was worse than


    her father’s condition; her father was sick physically, but Elder Mr. Bailey was sick mentally.


    After Elder Mr. Bailey stood there for a while, a few servants came over and Isabelle immediately called


    out for the servants. “You guys should take Grandpa for a walk since today’s weather is great. He


    should take a walk to strengthen his body anyway.”


    Elder Mr. Bailey agreed after thinking about it, so the servants supported him as they walked toward


    the garden in the backyard.


    After they left, Isabelle immediately turned around and headed to the second floor as she attempted to


    unlock Elder Mr. Bailey’s wardrobe again.


    Thest three attempts back then had failed, so she wanted to try two more times.


    After scanning through all of the possiblebinations she could think of in her mind, she tried the first


    However, the firstbination was still wrong. Isabelle was frustrated.


    She didn’t dare to try to unlock the wardrobe three times on this day as the security rm was too loud.


    After pondering for a while, Isabelle tried the secondbination.


    This time, however, after she entered the secondbination’s number, she pressed on the unlock


    button and the door to the safe sprang open.
