Next One Is a Babe
Chapter 985

Isabelle sent John a text message after Mrs. Bailey left.

Although she didn't know if John would read her message or not, she had already told him everything that she should.

In the meantime, Elder Mr. Bailey had already gone out. Not knowing where he went, Isabelle waited for a moment before she entered his room.

She had used the spare keys to open his door before going to the wardrobe and unlocking the safe in the wardrobe with ease.

All the document files in the safe were still there.

Isabelle looked around and noticed that there were a few newer documents. However, most of these were details of overseas accounts as well as some purchase details.

After noting them down briefly, she noticed that the sales had recently reduced.

At least, it was way less than the previous number of accounts.

Still, the overall sum of the purchase amount was still a large amount.

This time, Isabelle didn't take pictures. Instead, she placed the document files back after skimming through it.

She couldn't really gauge what her father and grandfather were discussing recently.

Lately, Elder Mr. Bailey had been going out frequently late at night and only returning during the early hours of the morning, probably to do things that he didn't want others to replace out about out there.

Isabelle went out of Elder Mr. Bailey's room and locked it before returning to her room after checking the document files.

When she reached the second floor's staircase, she saw that her grandfather had already returned and was now downstairs.

However, he didn't look like he was in a good mood as there was a hint of anger on his face.

Initially, Isabelle wanted to greet him, but after glancing at him and noticing his expression, she figured that she shouldn't get herself into trouble.

Thus, she turned around and went back to her room while the old man continued standing downstairs.

A while later, a servant came over and informed him that Mrs. Bailey had left.

Elder Mr. Bailey was already in a bad mood in the first place, so he immediately slammed his walking stick on the ground with anger evident in his voice. "It's better if she leaves anyway! She had probably been bringing us so much bad luck with her crying everyday!"

The servant didn't dare to say anything and retreated immediately as the old man waited for a moment more before sitting down on the couch.

Since Isabelle didn't go downstairs and there weren't any servants around him, Elder Mr. Bailey had no one to talk to as he sat in silence for nearly half an hour before his son contacted him.

Elder Mr. Bailey immediately answered the call and asked, "What did they say?"

His son's gruff voice rang out. "They didn't say much. Just that we might not be able to protect some of the guys anymore, so we might need to go ourselves."

Then, Elder Mr. Bailey cursed before he grumbled, "All of them swore that they won't let anything leak out, but look what happened now?"

However, his son didn't say anything on the other end. After all, this happened before he took over the shadow bank, so it wasn't really related to him, and he wasn't in a place to make any comments about it.

Still, the old man was pissed off as he mumbled to himself before asking, "Did you get someone to check the hospital? Also, do you know where that woman is now? I can't believe these bunch of fools really allowed themselves to be infiltrated. They've really wasted my time training them back then!"

Old Mr. Bailey sighed. "I haven't checked the hospital because I'm afraid that it might cause unnecessary trouble, since we still have other troubles happening here on our end."

When he heard that, the old man nodded in agreement. "We must calm down. The more urgent it is, the more we shouldn't lose our cool."

After contemplating for a moment, Old Mr. Bailey suggested, "I'm afraid that we can't protect some of the men anymore. What's most important right now is to think of a way so that they won't expose us."

Elder Mr. Bailey lamented, "I initially wanted you to take over the business, but who would have expected that so much trouble would arise before you could actually take over."

After Elder Mr. Bailey finished speaking, his son replied, "I can't help but feel like we are being targeted by others."
