Chapter 179
Seth’s words may have sounded like a joke, but it was clear to everyone that
he was provoking Gordon.
As expected, Gordon immediately halted his steps.
As Seth descended the stairs, the crowd instinctively made way for him.
Although they were in the Dunkstein Residence, it felt as if they were in the
Shaffers’ territory.
After adjusting his cuffs, Seth casually twisted the ring on his finger and
approached the shattered champagne glass.
Isabella stood behind Gordon, her gaze fixed on Seth’s every move. She even
slowed her breathing as she carefully observed him. What was his intention?
With one hand in his pocket, Seth calmly studied Rachel’s frightened
expression. “Miss Logan, which do you find more challenging-apologizing or
causing harm to others?”
Rachel seemed dazed, unable to comprehend why this distinguished man
would make things difficult for her. Trembling, she tilted her head back but

“The ambulance is here!” someone called out.
Relieved, Megan quickly signaled Ariel with her eyes. Once Ariel understood,
she first approached Gordon, who was about to speak, and then turned to
Seth, offering an apologetic smile. “Mr. Shaffer, why don’t we let the
paramedics take the injured away? Saving a life is more important, isn’t it?”
Seth nodded, seemingly unaffected by the situation. “Sure. You can do
whatever you want.”
This left the crowd puzzled, unable to comprehend Seth’s actions. Initially, it
seemed like he wanted to defend Isabella, but now he appeared indifferent
to the whole situation.
Only Isabella understood Seth’s behavior. He simply didn’t want to engage
with these people, and the ambulance couldn’t enter until the matter was
resolved.
Indeed, although the sound of an approaching ambulance could be heard
outside, the paramedics never entered the premises.
The crowd was initially confused, but soon realized the situation outside. The
courtyard was filled with black-clad men who clearly didn’t belong to the
Dunkstein Family.
While Seth didn’t refuse Rachel medical treatment, he blocked her path,
making it clear that she couldn’t leave without apologizing.

Isabella discreetly took a deep breath. Her gaze fixed on Seth’s back, slowly
moving upward, capturing every detail of his profile as she tried to gauge his
emotions.
However, Seth seemed mischievous and didn’t mention Isabella’s name or
ease the situation.
Meanwhile, Megan held her daughter, pleading with Ariel through her eyes,
but received an evasive gaze in return. “Mrs. Logan, just apologize. Your
daughter went too far.”
“Yes, she’s young and already so malicious.”
“Forget it. Everyone knows her family are new upstarts…”
Opinions were voiced, and whispers filled the air. The scene mirrored the one
where Isabella was accused moments ago.

Amidst it all, Isabella remained calm and silent.
Seeing the situation escalate, Ariel turned to Isabella. “Miss Symons, there’s
no need to go to such lengths, right? Considering it’s Gordon’s grandmother’s
80th birthday, why don’t you say something and get Mr. Shaffer to forgive
them…”
Ariel spoke the first part of her sentence loudly, but the second part was
spoken softly, as if she suspected Seth had feelings for Isabella,
Once again, Isabella became the center of attention. Ariel’s words were
clearly suggestive. If Isabella were a sensible young woman, she would let it
go and stop insisting on an apology.
It was a blatant attempt at moral coercion.
Isabella pursed her lips, remaining silent as she looked at Seth once more.
He seemed to sense her gaze and turned around. Their eyes met halfway.
His gaze appeared playful, and the smile on his lips gave the impression of
indifference. However, Isabella knew all too well that his smile was a warning.
Meanwhile, the crowd eagerly watched. It was evident that Seth was
standing up for Isabella, so if she pleaded with him now, it would make him
appear meddlesome.
Releasing her hand from Gordon’s grip, Isabella walked past the shattered
