Matilda called out to Sophia when she was walking on the staircase. “Sophia, are you in your room?”
Sophia answered as the door to her room was opened. “I am! Right here!”
Matilda made her way over and saw Sophia the moment she entered her room.
Sophia looked like she was in good spirits, though her face was pale, so Matilda asked, “Are you not feeling well?”
Sophia shook her head and forced a smile. “I’m fine. Nothing bad happened, fortunately.”
Matilda walked into Sophia’s room and sat on her bed before grabbing Sophia’s hand and placing it in her own.
Then, she patted her hand. “I was terrified! Who would dare to be so inhumane to do something like this?!”
Then, Sophia took her phone out and showed Matilda the picture that she had taken earlier.
“I snapped a picture of those two cars, but I suspect that the car plates are fake,” Sophia said.
Matilda inched closer to look at the picture clearly. “This is a clear shot, but most of the people that do these kinds
of things would usually use fake car plates.” Pursing her lips, she then turned toward Sophia. “Do you think that

The one person that crossed Matilda’s mind was Isabelle as Sophia’s social circle was small and there weren’t really
many people that she could offend.
Moreover, the only reason why she crossed the Baileys was because of John.
Sophia frowned. “I don’t think Isabelle would do something like this, but I can’t completely rule her out at the same
time.” Then, she continued, “I’ve already gotten Logan to investigate it for me, so let’s see what he’ll get. Although
I don’t think that it’s possible, it’s better if we still do a thorough investigation.”
Matilda nodded before lowering her voice and said, “If Old Mrs. Constance still doesn’t know about this, let’s not tell
her.”
On the other hand, John was driving. However, instead of returning to the company, he headed toward the
warehouse where those men that he captured were locked up there.
John sent the image that Sophia had taken to his underlings and asked them to interrogate those men if they
recognized these two cars.
Those men had been locked in the warehouse for a few days without any food or drinks, so even if they were
initially stubborn, they had started to lose their cool after not getting enough supplies.
John didn’t want to see those people, so he chose to wait outside.
After he finished a cigarette, one of his men came out and whispered something into John’s ear.
However, John’s facial expression remained unchanged. He even let out a faint chuckle before he replied, “Got it.”
Then, he walked toward the side of the road from the warehouse and took his phone out.
Isabelle was in her room when she received the phone call.
Although Dexter was already buried, the atmosphere in the house was still depressing as her mother’s cries echoed
through the house every night, while her father was depressed and refused to eat, even though he didn’t cry.

Isabelle felt like if things were to continue like this, she might be sending her parents off next.
However, even she herself wasn’t in a good condition as she sat on her bed and stared into nothing, so she was
taken aback when John contacted her.
After accepting the phone call, John spoke up before Isabelle could say anything. “Isabelle, something bad almost
happened to Sophia as she was chased by two cars when she went out today.”
Isabelle was stunned. “What are you trying to say? Why are you suddenly telling me this? Are you suspecting that
I’m the one behind it?”
John wasn’t suspecting Isabelle. “I just want to ask you whether your family had a butler that suddenly resigned
without any reasons?”
Isabelle frowned as she couldn’t remember much about it. “I think so.”
John chuckled. “He was driving one of the cars that wanted to ram into Sophia today.”
Moreover, that butler appeared at the shadow bank.
