Selena’s appearance irritated Isabella a bit
because she had a vague feeling that the young
woman wasn’t as simple as she seemed. After
finally sending her away, Isabella returned to her
office and was immediately surrounded by a group
pretentiously asking about her morning.
After a tiring morning, she didn’t feel like dealing
with these people, so she wrapped up the
conversation with a few words and returned to her
seat to plan her next move. She intended to

Just as she was thinking about that, her phone
suddenly vibrated, and along with it was an
anonymous message. Thinking it might be spam
mail, she glanced at it but then realized something
was off. It was a picture of the front entrance of her
current apartment, and the text accompanying it
read, ‘Babe, I’m waiting for your invitation to head
inside.‘
The familiar tone sent a shiver down Isabella’s
spine, instantly reminding her of Louis. The feeling
of being targeted by a stealthy predator made her
skin crawl, and a chill ran from her head to her
toes, causing her to freeze.
After a long while, Isabella finally snapped out of it
and realized her legs had gone weak.

Releasing a breath, she composed herself and
quickly thought about the situation. It seemed Louis
might not try anything any time soon, or else he
would have just barged through the door and
grabbed her. There was no point in him sending a
picture to warn her.
“What are you thinking about? Aren’t you going to
eat?” Alex suddenly appeared from behind and
patted Isabella’s shoulder.
Isabella regained her composure and calmly
replied, “Nothing. I was just thinking about what to
eat.”
“I thought you were thinking about how to use your
commission.” Seemingly joking, Alex pulled out the
chair beside Isabella and sat down. “You caught a

After looking around her, Isabella lowered her voice
to ask, “Why would you say that?”
Alex gave Isabella her phone and shot her a look.
“Have a look yourself.”
Glancing at the phone, Isabella saw it was a web
page of detailed information on Wikipedia. The old
man in the picture was the one who came to buy a
car the day before yesterday.
Alex sighed, not able to hide her admiration when
she spoke. “Xavier Dunkstein. He started as a pig

flow and established their company. Now, their
company is worth at least a couple billion.”
Isabella didn’t expect Gordon’s family to be that
rich as she only thought he was from an ordinarily
rich family.
“Now that you have him to back you up, you won’t
have to worry about anything in the future.”
Alex took her phone back and left while swaying
her thin waist.
Isabella wiped her face and dispelled those
thoughts before heading to the restroom to
freshen up. At this moment, her thoughts were
focused on how to deal with Louis. Anything else
could be saved for later.

When she raised her head and saw the woman
with a wet face in the mirror, she was shocked by
the viciousness in her eyes.
She took a deep breath, telling herself to stay calm.
There is no obstacle in the world that you can’t
overcome, Isabella Symons. You have been
through so much over the years, so there is nothing
you can’t handle.
After giving herself a pep talk, she felt much better.
Not long after she returned to her office, two
strangers appeared and specifically asked for
Isabella. They said they were here to buy cars. Even
though they only bought ordinary cars priced
around two hundred thousand, it was a windfall for
12:09 Wed, 20 Dec G & O
her, and the people around her looked like their
eyes were about to pop out from jealousy.
Even after selling the cars, Isabella was still a bit
absent–minded. It wasn’t until Gordon sent her a
text message that she suddenly understood what
just happened. The two people who came to buy
the cars were employees from Xavier’s company,
and they specifically came here for Gordon’s sake.
However, Isabella didn’t feel at ease, so she called
Natasha after work to talk about it.
“What are you afraid of? Just accept it. You took the
house Seth gave you, so why can’t you take the
orders given by another man?” Natasha asked
righteously.

Isabella was at a loss for words, and she swallowed
the words on the tip of her tongue. Her relationship
with Seth was based on a fair exchange, but she
couldn’t do the same with other men. It was
enough for her to sell herself once, or else it would
make her feel cheap.
Feeling burdened, she returned home and glanced
around the entrance, afraid that danger was
lurking somewhere.
Even after entering her home, she still couldn’t relax
and was on edge while showering.
When it got dark, she sat on the couch. Everything
was eerily quiet, and the fears she had pushed
back during the day now resurfaced and quickly

spread inside her, making her afraid to even close
her eyes.
Sitting on the couch, she hugged herself and
stayed that way until midnight. She didn’t lie down
until sleepiness overwhelmed her.
Having slept in the cold all night, she woke up early
the next morning with frightening dark circles
under her eyes. Therefore, she had to put on
slightly heavier makeup.
Luckily, the wealthy didn’t have the habit of waking
up early, so Gordon didn’t call until 10.00AM.
After Isabella answered the call in her office, she
was surrounded by insincere flattery again. She
gave a casual chuckle while grabbing her bag and
left.
Unlike yesterday, she wore a denim jumpsuit today,
which was simple yet youthful–looking. Her dark
hair gently fluttered in the wind, making her look
fresh and clean.
Gordon leaned against the car as he squinted at
the approaching figure. He felt his heart pound.
Yesterday, he had acted on impulse when inviting
her, but now it seemed he had made the right
decision. Isabella was bound to outshine the
female companions of his friends.
With this thought, he couldn’t wait for Isabella to
approach before extending his arms toward her.
