Chapter 1008


    The house was in the middle of the courtyard. There was a yard in front and a small garden in the


    back, but the garden was now devoid of any flowers or nts.


    This small farmyard was enclosed by a wooden fence. The fact that it was far away from the suburbs


    meant there were not many peopleing and going around here. Therefore, the owner of this


    farmyard did not take up strict anti-theft measures. It would be a piece of cake if someone wanted to


    get in.


    Narrowing her eyes slowly, Isabelle stood up and moved toward the window. There was a window in


    her room facing the garden at the back. The problem was just that this window couldn’t be opened.


    Elder Mr. Bailey had arranged for her to stay in this room, and to prevent her from escaping, the lock of


    this window was destroyed.


    So, Isabelle could only stand at the window looking toward the small garden. Other than that little noise


    just now, there was no other disturbance in the garden.


    Isabelle stared out the window for a while, a little disappointed. That’s right. This is such a remote


    ce, so how can it be so easy to locate?


    After waiting for a bit more, she turned around to return to the bed, but she had only turned halfway


    when a hand was suddenly pressed on the ss window.


    Shocked, Isabelle choked back a scream. However, there was only one hand that was pressed on the


    ss window, and the owner of this hand had not shown him or herself.


    Looking back at the door, Isabelle went over to lock it first, then walked to the window and knocked on


    it gently. The hand above the windowpane slowly retracted itself, and then a person cautiously


    emerged from the side of the window.


    Although Isabelle didn’t recognize this person, her instincts told her that this person was probably sent


    by John. She didn’t dare to speak loudly and only mouthed to the guy that she was okay, and that what


    she did had been discovered by Elder Mr. Bailey.


    The guy was also vignt enough to mouth back to her, saying that John had already found her and


    wanted to know if she would like to leave. If she wanted to leave, John could help her.


    Having thought about it, Isabelle shook her head. At present, she had nothing to do even if she were to


    leave this ce. Besides, she couldn’t go back to the Bailey Residence for the time being.


    Apart from that, Isabelle didn’t want to go to her mother’s ce so soon either. If she left this farmyard,


    Elder Mr. Bailey would immediately find out, and considering how angry he still was, he would definitely


    send someone to follow her. She didn’t want to cause trouble to her mother at all.


    Isabelle mulled over the matter for a while before telling the person outside the window that Old Mr.


    Bailey had a list of goods in his possession. The contraband confiscated from the shadow bank a few


    days ago was not everything the shadow bank possessed. In fact, there were additionalrger batches


    in other ces.


    At the same time, Isabelle also said that she hoped that John could weigh the severity of the issues,


    and if possible, it would be great if he could consider leaving some kind of escape route for the Bailey


    Family.


    The man outside stared at Isabelle for a minute, then finally nodded and turned away.


    Standing at the window, Isabelle sighed after a long time. She didn’t know if what she was doing was


    right. In any case, if the batch of goods in her father’s hands came to light, the Bailey Family would be


    ruined. But even if she didn’t send this news to John, thetter would find out sooner orter anyway.


    No matter what she did, the Bailey Family seemed destined to go down.


    John’s subordinate came and went, yet none of the Bailey Family’s guards noticed him at all. They


    probably felt that since the back windows were all locked, there would not be any problems, so nobody


    guarded the backyard.


    This was a loophole in itself. Most of the time, the Bailey Family tended to think that their ns were


    seamlessly perfect, but their loopholes were also quite obvious too.

    Isabelle turned and returned to the bed. Then, she continued sitting there in a meditative


    state. Hopefully during the time I’m locked up here, John will have solved everything out there.


    Isabelle really didn’t want to go out and face so many unhappy events. In fact, she had already packed


    everything up. If the matter was resolved, she could leave immediately and go to her mother’s ce.
