From the way William spoke, it didn’t seem like he was hiding anything as he sounded frank and open.
However, that was how William normally behaved, so John figured that William probably didn’t cross the line.
William wanted to leave after chatting for a while, but he pondered for a moment and stood still after turning
around. “I heard from your Uncle Owen that Dylan’s dates haven’t been going well. Since you’re around Dylan’s
age, if you’re free, try asking him if he has any specific requirements. He couldn’t just continue on blind dates like
this, and I think he should have a target.”
John paused. “You’re right. I’ll talk to him about this when I have the chance.”
Then, William left. Staring at William’s silhouette, John thought to himself, William is a capable man with a good
temper. How did he even end up with Matilda in the first place?
The thought of this made John grin.
I shouldn’t be thinking about this.
William hadn’t gone to the company before noon, so he got really busy during the afternoon. Hence, Zack only
came over after working hours.
Noticing that all of the staff outside were almost gone, Zack shut the door. “I got someone to investigate Isabelle,
but we couldn’t get anything at all. I’m not saying that we can’t find anything at all, but it’s just that her recent
activities have been straightforward, and none of them involved Sophia or any shady people.”
John mumbled an answer at that. Still, there weren’t any expressions on his face.
Zack sat back in his seat before staring at John. “Who else should we investigate? I don’t think there’s anyone left
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtanymore.”
Hearing Zack’s statement, John started pondering as well. “I guess we can try investigating the Morgan Family as
well, although I don’t think that they would be possible.”
However, besides the Morgan Family, he really didn’t know who else could Sophia offend.
Her social circle was too small. If the Morgan Family was removed from suspicion, there was no one else that John
could investigate anymore.
Agreeing to the suggestion, Zack nodded. “The Morgan Family is the only one left.” Soon, he left while John
remained in his seat.
A while later, he received a text message from Isabelle along with a picture of her and Matilda having dinner,
although there wasn’t any correlation between the picture with her text at all.
‘Mrs. Constance is complaining that you don’t trust her. Are there any misunderstandings between you two?’
John took a glance at her text before exiting his WhatsApp.
He didn’t want to answer Isabelle’s question and didn’t want to know what she was having with Matilda.
Then, John took his phone and left the office to get his car, after which he headed to Sophia’s place.
He parked his car a distance away from her house before walking over to her front door.
The front door and the door leading to the living room were wide open while Sophia sat on the couch in her living
room, watching TV.
At the same time, she was chatting away with someone on the phone.
John slowly walked closer and soon could earlier hear Sophia talking by the time he reached the front door.
It was probably Robin on the other end of the call. Sophia’s eyes were fixated on the TV while she spoke with a hint
of a smile as she asked her friend if she was feeling better.
Not knowing what Robin replied, John heard Sophia again. “He’s still under intensive training, so I couldn’t get in
contact with him. Moreover, I don’t really want him to know about this because I’m afraid he might get distracted.”
Robin replied something again before Sophia started giggling. “Yeah. Ian has always been nice to me.”
John stopped dead in his tracks as he stood where he was and stared at Sophia.
However, Sophia didn’t notice him at all, as she was immersed in her phone call.
It was obvious that Sophia held Ian in high regard, as she’d mention Ian so frequently that it was hard to miss.
John paused for a moment before he turned around and went out.
Then, he stood on Sophia’s lawn for a while as she continued speaking on the phone.
There was probably a lot to talk about between the two girls.
John sighed. I probably shouldn’t wait any longer.
Without meeting Sophia, he walked out of the lawn and closed the gates with him.
