Chapter 997

Better luck next time—this was what Yolanda had been constantly telling herself. In fact, Yolanda
should have stopped scratching the figurative lottery ticket after the first word was revealed.

However, she was the one who couldn't let go. She had to scratch until all four words were being
revealed in front of her before she was willing to give up. So, she was the one who had been
embarrassing herself.

Yolanda exhaled and smiled at herself self-deprecatingly.

On the other side, Matilda sat in the car and hummed happily.

Smiling helplessly, William commented, "You look so happy."

Matilda turned to look at him. "Aren't you happy? The two of us were fighting for you just now. Don’t
you see how popular you are?"

William stretched his arms and replied, "Come on. Can this really be considered as ‘popular’? I'm
scared stiff."

Matilda simply smiled without a word.

The two cars parked one after the other in the parking lot of the Constance Residence. Sophia was still
sitting in the garden over there. Seeing them arriving, she slowly came over and glanced at Matilda.
"Did you see her?"

Matilda nodded. "What a coincidence. I didn't expect that I would really bump into her there."



When they heard that, William and John instantly realized who they were talking about. Shaking his
head helplessly, the former turned his head and said to John, "Let's go inside. We’d better not
participate in the topic these two women are talking about." If we’re not careful, we’ll really stir up a
hornet’s nest here.

John didn't say anything but followed William to the main building first, while Sophia and Matilda sat in
the garden for a while.

Then, William took the opportunity to ask John about the Bailey Family's situation. He had also noticed
that it was very likely that the Bailey Family's affairs had everything to do with John.

John grabbed an orange and peeled it slowly. “Honestly, nobody can blame me for what’s happening to
the Bailey Family. They were too ruthless in what they did to us. If they hadn’t provoked me, I wouldn’t
have bothered with them.”

If they hadn't tried to cause harm to Sophia, John would never have bothered to investigate the shadow
bank's affairs. Naturally, it would then be impossible for the domino effect to happen and the
subsequent problems to occur.

William didn't question John any further on his intentions. Instead, he just asked, "Are you sure you can
destroy them with the shadow bank?"

The shadow bank itself could be destroyed, but John’s target was not the bank. Rather, he was
targeting the entire Bailey Family. If only the shadow bank was ruined, it was highly likely that Elder Mr.
Bailey would continue to harass them.



Hence, the ultimate goal was the Bailey Family, not just the shadow bank. If this were in the past, it
would have been difficult for John to destroy the Bailey Family. But now, considering what happened to
Dexter, disorder had descended upon the Bailey Family, and it was much easier for John to take
advantage of the chaos.

William thought for a while and sighed. "Although I don't know exactly why you are going up against the
Bailey Family, I believe that they had probably gone overboard toward you in the past." He sighed
again and continued, "To be honest, I don’t think too highly of the Bailey Family as well."

Elder Mr. Bailey and Old Mr. Bailey were too arrogant and domineering for their own good, and they
were too petty as well. Although businesspeople were all calculating in their own ways, most of them
were good at hiding it, and so others were not offended. However, over at the Bailey Family, it was so
blatant that it got on people’s nerves.

John didn't speak any more. When Old Mrs. Constance came down from upstairs, she was very happy
to see them both coming back. Even though most old people enjoy the peace and quiet, Old Mrs.
Constance was not like that. She liked the liveliness of having her children and grandchildren around
her, all joyful and happy.

Sophia and Matilda were still in the garden, chatting away as Matilda told the former everything about
seeing Yolanda at Constance Group.

Sophia smacked her lips. She said, “I admired Madam Bloom before, and I admire her even more now.
Fortunately, you went there today. If you didn’t, who knows how things would have turned out?”
