Chapter 183
Alex suggested that Isabella take a drive around. Isabella had the urge to
drive herself, so she ignored the unusual license plate and took Alex for a
couple of spins around the area.

Imperia was filled with wealthy people, and while seeing a Cayenne on the
road was nothing out of the ordinary, Isabella’s license plate stood out and
attracted considerable attention along the way.
After returning to the company, Alex couldn’t stop laughing in the car as she
commented on the curious glances they received during the drive.
Isabella felt helpless and was unaware of the approaching car. As she
opened the car door to get out, the vehicle nearly scratched her door.
Alex cursed and was ready to confront the driver, but the car had already
come to a stop.
Jonas stepped out of the car, visibly furious as his face darkened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabella and Alex exchanged glances, both frowning. “Mr. Stokes, you
shouldn’t be driving so recklessly, you know.”
“Alright, stop pretending now.” Jonas approached them, glaring at Isabella
with hostility. “Was it you who spread rumors and led to the sudden
investigation from management?”
Isabella felt irritated by the accusation, and her tone lost its previous
deference.
“You’ve got it wrong. It’s already enough that management cleared my
name. I’m not interested in your dirty tricks.”
Jonas’ face grew colder. He emitted a threatening aura, as if he might attack
at any moment.
Isabella remained silent and showed no intention of backing down. At this
point, there was no use pretending.
The standoff continued for several minutes. Jonas sneered, and his eyes
displayed a strange sense of calculation.
“You’d better not meddle. Seth might not always have the patience to help
you. We’re different from those high-and-mighty folks. We come from
humble origins, and if you push us too far, we’re capable of anything.”
Isabella’s expression turned cold as she detected the underlying warning.
Despite her years as a chief secretary, she had a bit of pride and detested
people who underestimated her.
“Jonas, I suggest you calm down. If you’ve done something wrong, it’s better
to report it to the higher-ups early on. Otherwise, when the building collapses,
it’ll crush people like you who lack support.”
Jonas snorted, his chubby face trembling in anger and his eyes seething with
rage..
“Isabella, you sure have guts.”
He repeated, fixing his gaze on Isabella. It created a sensation akin to the
saliva of a wild beast trickling down one’s spine.
As he drove off in his car, Alex couldn’t help but pull Isabella aside.
“Did you offend him?”
Isabella replied expressionlessly, “Not just him.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAlex frowned, a little worried. “Be careful. It’s better to offend a gentleman
than a villain, especially someone like Jonas. Who knows what dirty tricks he
might resort to?”
Isabella understood and nodded before saying she had other matters to
attend to.
Alex told Isabella that she would inform her if anything happened in the
company.
Isabella thanked her and got into her car alone.
As soon as she got into the car, she called Nicolas instead of immediately
driving away. There were some things she had to discuss with Seth, and
delaying it might lead to trouble.
“Hello?”
“Nicolas, is Mr. Shaffer in the company?”
Nicolas hesitated for a moment. “Isabella, are you looking for Mr. Shaffer? He’s
in Bleaktown today. It seems like he’s there to meet someone important.”
She frowned and felt a sense of urgency. Why couldn’t she find him at such a
crucial moment?
“When is Mr. Shaffer expected to return?”
