While the two were headed toward the backyard, Sophia asked, “How did you and Roselia get to know each other?”
John thought about it. “I actually met her at a bar. You pissed me off so much once that I went to the bar and got
drunk. That was when I ran into Logan as well as Roselia.”
Sophia recalled that as well. That happened a really long time ago. At that time, Logan was sent home by John after
he drank too much. She’d even tried to ask Logan what happened, but Logan passed out after he drank too much
alcohol.
Then, Sophia nodded. “I see.”
John went on to explain, “Roselia hangs out in the bar a lot, and she has met many different types of people.
Utilizing these kinds of people would be the most advantageous to us. Moreover, her good looks are a plus point.”
Roselia’s success in infiltrating the shadow bank was a prime example of this.

she was dressed up to go out. Also, Sophia noticed Dylan behind her, looking just like how he was usually dressed.
Lady Jennifer immediately grinned when she saw John and Sophia as she greeted them. “Oh hello! Fancy seeing you
two taking a walk out here.”
John greeted her as well before asking, “Are you guys heading out?”
It seemed like Lady Jennifer was waiting for John to ask her that as she immediately said, “We are going out to
meet Dylan’s girlfriend and have dinner with her. I mean, it’s nice to go on dates when you’re still young.”
Standing at the side, Sophia couldn’t stop herself from asking, “Aunt Jennifer, why are you going along if they’re
going on a date? Are you going to be the third wheel?”
Lady Jennifer couldn’t come up with a response to Sophia’s question. Meanwhile, Dylan felt like laughing as he stood
behind her.
He had already told them to just stay at home, but his mother was stubborn and insisted on asking the girl out for
dinner.
Until now, Dylan could still remember what happened the last time everyone gathered for a meal together, and the
thought of it alone made him feel embarrassed
At the same time, Lady Jennifer had already lost her excitement, and she looked tense as she tried to explain
herself. “I’m just tagging along as I don’t have anything to do at home.” Sophia didn’t say anything in response.
There were some things that should be said just once as an effective retort, and speaking too much might cause
things to backfire. Initially, Lady Jennifer still wanted to talk, but now that the atmosphere between them had
become tense, she smiled awkwardly before taking Dylan along with her. After the two of them left, Sophia burst
into fits of giggles while John was feeling speechless. “You’ll only feel agitated if you keep trying to compete with

a retort against her.” When John heard that, he only smiled before lowering his head and pulling Sophia’s hand to
hold it before they walked around the backyard. When they almost reached the main building, John’s phone
suddenly rang. When he checked it, he saw that it was a call from Isabelle.
John was confused as Isabelle had already met him during the evening and told him everything that she wanted to
say. After Sophia glanced at his phone, she suggested, “You should answer it. She might want to tell you something
important.” Hence, John answered the call without any hesitation. Immediately, Isabelle started talking. “John, the
police came over to my house. Is something happening? Please tell me if that’s what it is so that I can prepare to
leave now.” Sophia was surprised as she listened in; Isabelle sounded off. Meanwhile, John was also hesitant when
he heard that the police went over to the Baileys. “I’m not really sure what happened, but I suggest that you should
hang around to see what’s going on.”
