The Returning EX (Sophia and John)

William sighed and continued, “From what your grandpa told me, that family kneeled down in front of the Bailey Residence but failed to gain the sympathy of Elder Mr. Bailey. He even ordered his butler to chase them out.”

There were more anecdotes than this incident. After Elder Mr. Bailey became successful, his ego grew as well, and he was irritated by all his relatives. He was mean in his speech and picked on their sore spots.

It was Elder Mr. Bailey’s right not to lend any money to his relatives. However, as a relative, even if he was unwilling to lend the total amount, it would not have hurt him to lend a small sum to reduce the family’s burden.

After the lending incident, Elder Mr. Bailey’s reputation among his relatives immediately tanked. Even so, he did not care about others’ opinions of him. After all, he was revered whenever he went, and he had privileged access to everything he did. Reputation was worth nothing to him, and so he couldn’t care less about it.

Hearing that, John chuckled disapprovingly. “Wow, he must have been mentally tough.” An average man could never be as merciless as Elder Mr. Bailey.

Feeling a little worn out from a whole day of chaos at the Bailey Residence, William felt as if his head was going to explode at any moment. After a short chat with John, he said that he needed to leave work early today and have a good rest at home. John smiled. “What’s up with the Baileys? Why did they keep leaning on you when things went south?”

William smacked his lips in response. Old Mr. Bailey is not a well-connected man; his current connections were mostly thanks to Elder Mr. Bailey. On top of that, he’s not adept at socializing. After a tragic incident like this, he needs someone to talk to, but he could not find anyone around him to rely on. His entire day of rambling only proved that he doesn’t have any close friends to confide in.
