The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

Isabelle knew what her dad was implying. Two days ago, they got into an argument because of Dexter. It was not a grave problem; she merely thought that the Bailey Family had been putting too much pressure on her brother. During the exchange, she only advised Old Mr. Bailey to give Dexter some freedom.

Old Mr. Bailey probably took it the wrong way, thinking that she didn’t want to see Dexter succeed and was unwilling to hand over the company leadership. Nobody wanted the incident to happen. Am I at fault now? She stared at him incredulously. “Am I such a vile person in your eyes?”

His eyes were red, and one could tell that he would collapse at any moment. When Isabelle closed her eyes, she felt the world spinning around her as well.

When John reached home that evening, he told Sophia about Dexter’s car accident. She was shocked by the sudden news. Even though she did not know Dexter personally, she heard of the guy a few times from her conversation with Isabelle.

In the past, when Isabelle walked past the entrance of Sophia’s place, she always told Sophia that she was sending Dexter to cram school, which proved that they had a good relationship. Sophia quickly asked, “How’s he doing? Is he safe?”

John personally felt that Dexter would be alright. Even though Dexter’s injuries appeared serious and he lost a lot of blood, his car was likely moving at a slow speed at the intersection. Therefore, John replied with his assumption, “He should be fine.”

At dinner, William returned to the Constance Residence. John recalled that Old Mr. Bailey had a dinner appointment with William tonight. However, now that Dexter was involved in an accident, it made sense that the dinner had to be canceled.

William heard about Dexter’s situation as well. He said that he wanted to wait until Dexter was discharged, and he would arrange for Dylan to make a visit with some gifts. Even though the two families did not have an amicable relationship in private, the Constances had to fake the appearance due to their business relationship.
