Chapter 989
While the two were headed toward the backyard, Sophia asked, “How did you and Roselia get to know
each other?”
John thought about it. “I actually met her at a bar. You pissed me off so much once that I went to the
bar and got drunk. That was when I ran into Logan as well as Roselia.”
Sophia recalled that as well. That happened a really long time ago. At that time, Logan was sent home
by John after he drank too much. She’d even tried to ask Logan what happened, but Logan passed out
after he drank too much alcohol.
Then, Sophia nodded. “I see.”
John went on to exin, “Roselia hangs out in the bar a lot, and she has met many different types of
people. Utilizing these kinds of people would be the most advantageous to us. Moreover, her good
looks are a plus point.”
Roselia’s sess in infiltrating the shadow bank was a prime example of this.
However, Sophia didn’t say anything and continued walking. At the same time, Lady Jennifer walked
out, looking like she was dressed up to go out. Also, Sophia noticed Dn behind her, looking just like
how he was usually dressed.
Lady Jennifer immediately grinned when she saw John and Sophia as she greeted them. “Oh hello!
Fancy seeing you two taking a walk out here.”
John greeted her as well before asking, “Are you guys heading out?”
It seemed like Lady Jennifer was waiting for John to ask her that as she immediately said, “We are
going out to meet Dn’s girlfriend and have dinner with her. I mean, it’s nice to go on dates when
you’re still young.”
Standing at the side, Sophia couldn’t stop herself from asking, “Aunt Jennifer, why are you going along
if they’re going on a date? Are you going to be the third wheel?”
Lady Jennifer couldn’te up with a response to Sophia’s question. Meanwhile, Dn felt like

He had already told them to just stay at home, but his mother was stubborn and insisted on asking the
girl out for dinner.
Until now, Dn could still remember what happened thest time everyone gathered for a meal
together, and the thought of it alone made him feel embarrassed.
At the same time, Lady Jennifer had already lost her excitement, and she looked tense as she tried to
exin herself. “I’m just tagging along as I don’t have anything to do at home.”
Sophia didn’t say anything in response. There were some things that should be said just once as an
effective retort, and speaking too much might cause things to backfire.
Initially, Lady Jennifer still wanted to talk, but now that the atmosphere between them had be
tense, she smiled awkwardly before taking Dn along with her.
After the two of them left, Sophia burst into fits of giggles while John was feeling speechless. “You’ll
only feel agitated if you keep trying topete with them.”
Sophia shook her head. “Nah, I actually feel good. I’m in a good mood now that I managed toe up
with a retort against her.”
When John heard that, he only smiled before lowering his head and pulling Sophia’s hand to hold it
before they walked around the backyard.
When they almost reached the main building, John’s phone suddenly rang. When he checked it, he
saw that it was a call from Isabelle.
John was confused as Isabelle had already met him during the evening and told him everything that
she wanted to say.
After Sophia nced at his phone, she suggested, “You should answer it. She might want to tell you
something important.”
Hence, John answered the call without any hesitation.
Immediately, Isabelle started talking. “John, the police came over to my house. Is something
happening? Please tell me if that’s what it is so that I can prepare to leave now.”
Sophia was surprised as she listened in; Isabelle sounded off.
Meanwhile, John was also hesitant when he heard that the police went over to the Baileys. “I’m not
really sure what happened, but I suggest that you should hang around to see what’s going on.”
