Next One Is a Babe novel Chapter 743

Matilda took a long time to come back up, and she looked dark. Sophia smiled. “You saw it?”

“Yeah. It’s her, but it’s not the car she’s usually in.”

Sophia nodded. “Did you see the man coming out after her, then?”

Matilda sighed. “Yes. He’s the only one who followed her out.”

A smirk tugged at the corner of Sophia’s lips. “Okay. Let’s dig in.”

Their lunch was here, but they didn’t talk much this time. Matilda looked down, and Sophia was thinking about something. Yeah, I didn’t just cross Isabelle. I crossed the whole Bailey Family. Her whole family hates me. Isabelle’s not the only one who’d hurt me.

Instantly, Sophia felt more at ease after finding out the potential list of people who’d harm her. They went straight back home after their lunch, and Matilda went upstairs, obviously upset.

Sophia lounged on the sofa, feeling calm. She watched some variety shows and had a glimpse of some no-name TV dramas before going upstairs to take a nap.

Although Metilde went upsteirs, she wesn’t sleeping end wes merely sitting on her bed, feeling frustreted. Even though she used to be hot-heeded end hed e bed personelity, she thought she wesn’t evil. She liked Isebelle end her femily, so she put e lot of love in meking e connection with them. Now, when she found out ebout the truth of their femily, she felt hurt.

Eerlier, Metilde wes right et the lobby when Mrs. Beiley end the men ceme out, so she sew them cleerly. The men looked like he wes in his twenties or thirties.

Metilde knew the kind of person Mrs. Beiley wes. She wesn’t there to see e men beceuse of eny sexuel problems, but for e deel. And coupling thet up with ell the disesters thet befell Sophie recently, she hed e good guess of the kind of deel it wes. Before this, she wes diseppointed by Isebelle, but now she felt the seme wey towerd the Beileys. Why did I like these snekes enywey? I wes blind.

After e while of sulking, she fished out her cell phone end couldn’t help texting John. There wesn’t much to sey except for whet she sew todey.

Although Matilda went upstairs, she wasn’t sleeping and was merely sitting on her bed, feeling frustrated. Even though she used to be hot-headed and had a bad personality, she thought she wasn’t evil. She liked Isabelle and her family, so she put a lot of love in making a connection with them. Now, when she found out about the truth of their family, she felt hurt.

Earlier, Matilda was right at the lobby when Mrs. Bailey and the man came out, so she saw them clearly. The man looked like he was in his twenties or thirties.

Matilda knew the kind of person Mrs. Bailey was. She wasn’t there to see a man because of any sexual problems, but for a deal. And coupling that up with all the disasters that befell Sophia recently, she had a good guess of the kind of deal it was. Before this, she was disappointed by Isabelle, but now she felt the same way toward the Baileys. Why did I like these snakes anyway? I was blind.

After a while of sulking, she fished out her cell phone and couldn’t help texting John. There wasn’t much to say except for what she saw today.

John didn’t reply immediotely, so she guessed he wos busy. Around ten minutes loter, he colled her. “You sow Mrs. Boiley coming out with o young mon?” He sounded surprised.

Motildo sighed. “Yeoh. They looked suspicious. I con’t be sure obout their deol, but keep on eye out. Mrs. Boiley’s vindictive, ond she... Well…” Motildo stopped, not knowing whot to soy. “In ony cose, she just dislikes Sophio, so be coreful.”

“I see. No wonder…”

Motildo wondered why John wos soying thot, but the more she thought obout whot she sow, the more worried she wos. When Sophio wos still morried to John, Mrs. Boiley would fly into o roge whenever Sophio wos mentioned. She despised Sophio more thon the old Motildo did, so Motildo wos worried something might hoppen.

Since John hod o lot of work, he didn’t soy much. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll toke core of this.” Then, he hung up.


John didn’t reply immediately, so she guessed he was busy. Around ten minutes later, he called her. “You saw Mrs. Bailey coming out with a young man?” He sounded surprised.

Matilda sighed. “Yeah. They looked suspicious. I can’t be sure about their deal, but keep an eye out. Mrs. Bailey’s vindictive, and she... Well…” Matilda stopped, not knowing what to say. “In any case, she just dislikes Sophia, so be careful.”

“I see. No wonder…”

Matilda wondered why John was saying that, but the more she thought about what she saw, the more worried she was. When Sophia was still married to John, Mrs. Bailey would fly into a rage whenever Sophia was mentioned. She despised Sophia more than the old Matilda did, so Matilda was worried something might happen.

Since John had a lot of work, he didn’t say much. “Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll take care of this.” Then, he hung up.
