Chapter 940


    With a helpless expression, Isabelle stared at her grandfather’s figure until he disappeared from the


    stairs.


    After the phone call ended, John called his subordinate to instruct him to investigate the incident at the


    hospital. He also asked him what happened after the transaction.


    The subordinate replied that when the transaction took ce, the people working for the shadow bank


    were caught red-handed. However, those people were sly as they didn’t bring the goods with them. As


    for how the goods would be traded, the subordinate hadn’t found any lead yet.


    John’s interest was piqued when he heard this. Now I’m curious how they’re going to make the


    transaction happen.


    Upon hanging up the call, he drove to the warehouse, which used to be deste in the past. Now, the


    ce was crammed with people. The number of people confined in this ce was enough to upy a


    few tables to y poker. If Logan and Matilda found out about it, they would be ted, John thought.


    When Sophia awakened from her sleep, she no longer felt fearful. Touching her shoulder, she recalled


    how the woman was jabbed in the same ce. How did they evene up with this kind of ruthless


    move? They’re really relentless. Sitting on the bed, she waited for a bit and went downstairs.


    Matilda had arrived with a basket of fruits, which were said to be beneficial for a pregnantdy, but she


    hadn’t had any idea what happened to Sophia. Seeing her, she immediately went to the kitchen to


    wash the fruits for her.


    In a dazed state, Sophia took a seat and picked up an apple, but after taking two bites, she put it back


    down.


    Matilda hadn’t noticed Sophia’s unusual behavior and mentioned that she came across Jennifer on her


    way here. Unlike her attitude in the past, Jennifer was treating Matilda in a more hospitable manner


    now. She even asked her when John and Sophia would remarry.


    At the mention of this, Matilda guffawed and said, “I guess Jennifer is concerned about you.”


    Leaning against the couch, Sophia grunted. “Sometimes I feel that Lady Jennifer is more concerned


    about me than she cares about her son.”


    Heaving a sigh, Old Mrs. Constance said, “After John and you remarry, Jennifer will stop worrying


    about it.”


    No matter how I try to change the topic, it will always be about John and my rtionship, Sophia


    thought. Recalling how swiftly John managed to protect her from the person who was trying to harm


    her, Sophia felt that he did provide a sense of safety for her.


    If she missed John again, she didn’t think she would ever encounter a man aspatible. After letting


    out a breath, she replied, “I’ll think about it.”


    Matilda pursed her lips and asked, “How are you even hesitating if John is the person you’re


    remarrying? Don’t you know there are many women out there eager to marry him?”


    Hearing this, Sophia burst outughing and questioned, “Don’t you know there are many handsome

    men out there eager to pursue me?”


    Unable to hold it in anymore, Old Mrs. Constance chuckled. “Despite the age gap, the two of you are


    funny together. If Sophia were ten years older, she could well be your little sister.”


    Giggling, Matilda said, “In the past, I really found her irritating, but now I’m very fond of her. I don’t even


    know what’s wrong with me.”


    After the banter with Matilda, Sophia felt more energized.


    Then, Old Mrs. Constance told Matilda to stay there to have dinner together and teased, “Tell William to


    like now.”


    Since William moved into Matilda’s house, he hadn’t returned to his own home for a long time, as


    though he had no intention ofing back.
