Chapter 884

When Ian was back to training, he felt more relaxed.

As for William, he returned to the office in the afternoon but arrived rather late. Instead of heading
straight to his office, he went to John’s.

John happened to finish reviewing and signing a document, after which he leaned into his chair and
pinched between his brows in fatigue. William walked up and sighed before dragging a chair and
sinking into it across John. Seeing his father, John immediately asked, “Is everything settled at the
Baileys?”

Faced with John’s sudden question, William pursed his lips. “There’s no way to settle things. It’s so
messy over there.” Among the members of the First Bailey Family, everyone was in shambles except
for Isabelle.

The Second Bailey Family had been long oppressed by the First Bailey Family, which placed them in
an unfavorable position. When the tragedy happened, they could not help to run the family as relatives
from close and far all flocked to the Bailey Residence to join in the chaos. Thus, things began spiraling
downward at the Baileys.

According to William, the hospital would release Dexter’s post-mortem report with the toxin analysis by
tomorrow. At that time, they would know the exact cause of death. When the paperwork was settled at
the hospital, it would be in time for Dexter’s burial.

Since Dexter was too young, the family could not arrange a grand funeral for him. The most they could
do was to invite relatives over for a simple ceremony. Then, they’d pick a grave plot to bury him.



Earlier today, Old Mr. Bailey rambled to William about various bizarre topics, further proving that he
was grieving over his son’s death. In the midst of the ramblings, he even mentioned John.

In his perfect plan, he envisioned John and Isabelle married, which would help the Bailey Family
greatly. When the Baileys’ business was in Dexter’s hands, it would grow and expand—Dexter would
end up more successful than his father.

Knowing that Old Mr. Bailey was under distress, William didn’t take his words seriously or retort. There
was no chance for John and Isabelle to date at all because Sophia was pregnant. Judging by John’s
attitude, he was determined to stay with Sophia.

Despite that, Old Mr. Bailey seemed to have momentarily forgotten about the reality as he immersed in
his fantasy, babbling about his perfect plan. Finally, it was Isabelle’s entrance that stopped his fantasy.

Whenever William mentioned the Baileys, he would sigh in pity. “Who would have seen this coming?”
The death of a young kid would be a devastating blow to any family.

John nodded in agreement. After some thinking, he inquired, “How about Elder Mr. Bailey? How is he
holding up?”

William frowned and fell into deep thoughts before replying, “Elder Mr. Bailey has not shown up once.
According to Isabelle, he seems to be resting in bed due to grief.”

Learning about the old man’s condition, John grunted and turned the direction of the conservation. “I
heard that when Elder Mr. Bailey was younger, he was a very tough guy who commanded fear in the
business world.”



William gave a slight nod to acknowledge that and elaborated, “Elder Mr. Bailey was more persistent
than your grandpa in his younger days. He was a merciless man indeed.”

There was a reason that their relatives showed up to witness the tragedy without any hint of sorrow. In
the past, Elder Mr. Bailey acted coldly and mercilessly, leaving no room for empathy and negotiation,
which gradually sowed the seeds of resentment among his relatives.

At the mention of Elder Mr. Bailey, William suddenly recalled something and added, “I remember that a
long time ago, based on your grandpa’s account, his nephew fell very ill and urgently needed a huge
sum of money for treatment. That family was at the end of their wits and came to Elder Mr. Bailey for
help.”

The cost of treatment was astronomical to an average family. But to the Baileys, that amount was a
drop in the ocean.

Out of desperation, the family offered Elder Mr. Bailey their house. They even went as far as to promise
him free labor in his company to repay his kindness if their child received the treatment and survived.
