Chapter 186
Seth had been gone for a while, leaving Isabella alone in the room. She
maintained the same posture since the servant had left. It was noon when
she heard the sound of the gate opening and a car driving in. The bright light
shone through the curtains, causing Isabella to raise her hand to shield her
eyes. As she moved slightly, she realized her whole body was numb.
Footsteps approached from outside, and Isabella attempted to stand up.
However, her knees gave out, and she fell onto the carpet.

At that moment, the door opened, and a tall figure blocked the doorway. The
light cast a shadow over half of Seth’s face. He pursed his lips together as he

Seth loosened his tie, tossed his coat onto the couch, walked to the bar, and
poured himself a glass of ice water. Frustrated and having consumed a lot of
alcohol, his body was heated.
Isabella stood in front of the couch, mustering the courage to explain. Seth

shouldn’t have taken Gordon to the hotel immediately after Molly handled
things yesterday. They would quickly find evidence of her actions as soon as

“In order to save a foolish woman like you, I almost messed up today’s plan.”
Seth stared at her expression and emphasized each word coldly. Gradually,
his anger disappeared.
Isabella bit her lip and was unable to speak in the face of Seth’s blunt words.
This time, she had indeed been too impulsive, underestimating the ruthless
