Chapter 961
With a gentle smile, John fastened his seat belt. “So, I guess that should ease your mind, shouldn’t it?”
Sophia nodded in response. “Yup. Thank you.”
Still smiling, he said, “Come on! You’re talking to me like I’m your boss. Just be yourself.”
Nevertheless, Sophia didn’t say anything else as they made their way toward the Constance
Residence. Since the warehouse was situated in a rather remote area, they happened to pass by the
suburb while heading to the city. Therefore, John decided to swing by the Bailey Family’s shadow bank
and have a look, but before he arrived at his destination, he saw a car that belonged to the Bailey
Family parked right outside the building.
Wait a minute. No one from the Bailey Family really drives this car. Soon, John managed to recall
having seen that car back at the Bailey Residence when he was there to call off his engagement with
Isabelle. Hmm. They must have probably thought no one recognizes it, and hence are not afraid to
show it in public. Well, the car looks a little old, but I can still remember it.
After that, John pulled up by the roadside and shifted his gaze to Sophia. “Wait for me here. I’ll be right
back.” Despite feeling surprised, Sophia only nodded in silence, while John took a cap from the
backseat and put on a coat before he got out of the car. Then, instead of approaching the vehicle, he
stood from afar and set his eyes on the registration te, returning to his own car a few moments
bank.
After running through a few possible suspects in his mind, John could only think of Isabelle or Old Mr.
Bailey. After all, he knew that Elder Mr. Bailey had to pick between Old Mr. Bailey and Isabelle to take
over his business since Dexter was gone.
Isabelle didn’t send me a text message about this, so this is likely not her. Therefore, that makes Old
Mr. Bailey the only one left suspicious.
At the thought of that, John sniggered. It seems that Elder Mr. Bailey is running out of options. He may
be aged, but Old Mr. Bailey isn’t exactly young either.
Ever since Dexter passed away, Old Mr. Bailey had been broken and devastated deep down, even
though he still looked like he was in high spirits to stand up to his father.
Well, everything seems to suggest that the Bailey Family is really at a dead end. Nheless, when
John thought about Dexter, he couldn’t help but feel sorry for him. That poor little boy’s days would
likely be tough if he were still alive.
Upon getting into his car, John took off his jacket and hat, fastening his seatbelt before hitting the road.
When Sophia realized they had left the ce far enough, she asked, “What happened? Something
wrong with the car?”
John responded with an affirmative hum and added, “It looks like it belongs to the Bailey Family.”
Upon hearing about the Bailey Family, Sophia widened her eyes and asked, “What? Why would they

be there?”
Not knowing how to exin the situation to Sophia, John ambiguously replied, “Something is definitely
off.”
As soon as she heard that, she instantly knew John was probably hinting that it wasn’t convenient for
him to talk too much, like his usual attitude. Therefore, she only asked him a simple question, “Is it
going to affect us in any significant way?”
In response, John smacked his lips and answered, “Not really. So, don’t worry.”
While the conversation ended with John’s final reply, he dropped Sophia off at the Constance
Residence and drove off right away.
What’s the hurry? Meanwhile, Sophia stood in the car park, letting out a sigh as she watched John’s
car moving away. This guy just never takes a break! After a long day, Sophia felt tired and decided to
take a catnap in her room.
Upon waking up from a short nap, Sophia was surprised to discover that she had a missed call, which
turned out to be from Isabelle. Well, well! Thisdy obviously hasn’t learned her lesson at all since the
<pst time she called.
