John grunted. “It has been my plan to make them transfer the inventory.” Otherwise, how could I even
tackle them?
On the other side, Isabelle was sitting in the living room of the Bailey Residence.
Last night, her father came home past midnight, but early this morning, he was already out.
In the morning, Isabelle made a call to John, but he did not pick up.
He had not been picking up her calls over the past two days, which gave her a hunch that something
was going to happen soon.
Seated on the sofa, she was holding her phone, wanting to send him a text to caution him.
However, before she could come up with the content, Mrs. Bailey started to make a scene again.
She ran down from the second floor and claimed that she saw Dexter.
Then, she stared eerily at a corner in the living room as she wailed and pleaded for Dexter to stay.
Isabelle hurriedly went up to hug her mom and comforted her over and over.
Exhausted from all the crying, Mrs. Bailey slumped onto the floor, sobbing in a hoarse voice.
Isabelle teared up upon seeing her mom’s grief. At the sight of that, she was also reminded of Dexter,
which remained a painful topic for her.
On the other side of the house, Elder Mr. Bailey heard the commotion and emerged from his room. He
stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor and gazed down at the hysterical Mrs. Bailey with an
icy expression.
When Mrs. Bailey was too depleted to cry, Elder Mr. Bailey admonished her. “You’re still making a fuss?
When are you going to stop? If you keep doing this, none of us will live in peace.”
Isabelle was shocked by his mean remark and stared up at her grandpa, who was standing on top of
the stairs.
Perhaps it was due to the bad lighting, Elder Mr. Bailey appeared a little menacing with his figure being
outlined by the light behind him.
Any remaining attachment Isabelle had for the Baileys was instantly gone in front of Elder Mr. Bailey’s
merciless face.
The woman lying limp in Isabelle’s arms had lost all hope in life. Unfortunately, no one in this family had
any sympathy left for her.
By now, Isabelle had known for a fact that the Baileys were all cold-blooded.
However, it was this exact moment that woke her up to the extremity of the Baileys’ lack of empathy.
With that, Isabelle lost all her hope for the Baileys.
Elder Mr. Bailey didn’t look at Isabelle in a friendler expression either. “Lock your mom up. If she keeps
acting this way, we may have to send her to a rehabilitation center. This is a huge family. If she keeps
claiming that she can see ghosts, all of us will not have any peace!”
Isabelle pursed her lips defiantly without a word.
After Elder Mr. Bailey’s reproach, Mrs. Bailey immediately fell silent.
Isabelle hugged her mom even tighter and stroked her back.
Before leaving, Elder Mr. Bailey spat, “She’s just jinxing the family! It was only a death in the family, but
she’s acting like everyone died.”
Isabelle waited until he was gone before her lips curled into a cold smirk.
What’s the point of protecting a family like the Baileys? Why am I even worrying for them? The earlier
we part ways, the better.
After that, she helped Mrs. Bailey back to the room.
Mrs. Bailey’s face was covered with tears and snot as she grabbed Isabelle’s hand, claiming that she
had really seen Dexter.
Unsettled, Isabelle pursed her lips and stared at her mom. A long pause later, she suggested, “Mom,
why don’t you leave this place? A change of environment might help your mood.”
Mrs. Bailey immediately covered her face and started crying. “It doesn’t matter where I go. I lost Dexter
and I can’t live without him.”
Isabelle stroked her mom’s back. “Let’s leave this place. No one here sympathizes with you. When I’m
done settling everything here, I will leave and join you too. How does that sound?”
Mrs. Bailey slowly lifted her head and looked at her daughter. Then, she gave a slow nod.
Her throat was dry from all the crying, so she could not say a thing.
Once Isabelle saw that her mom had agreed, she immediately started picking a place to send her mom
to.
