Next One Is a Babe 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 plate, returning to his own car a few moments later.

It looks like my suspicion is correct. Someone from the Bailey Family has come to the shadow 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. Nonetheless, 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 place 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 explain 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! This lady obviously hasn’t learned her lesson at all since the

last time she called.
