A few dayster, Isabe was released from the detention center.
“Behave yourself from now on. If you try to cause disturbances again, you will be detained for longer,”
said the policeman.
Isabe’s face suddenly darkened.
The experience in the detention center was simply a nightmare for her.
In the past few days, she had thought about the whole thing like crazy.
At first, she believed that she had made a little difference, which caused some changes in
this life.
But she soon found that something was wrong. Why did Ben still manage to buy thend that was
going to be developed although it was not thend selected by the Bureau of Land Management in the
last life?
A thought shed across her mind.
Could it be that Ben had yed a dirty trick on her?
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but tremble with fear.
No one knew better than her how formidable Ben was.
If he really started to deal with her, she would have no chance to survive in Cornd.
“It’s impossible,” Isabeforted herself in a low voice, thinking that it had to be a
coincidence.
She managed to adjust her mood and decided to forget this experience at the police station and move
on.
After leaving the police station, she booked a flight and returned to Anaville.
But as soon as she got off the ne, she was stopped by several burly men. Mr. Lynn walked up to her
and said nkly, “Miss Smith, how have you been?” Isabe was shocked, but she feignedposure
and asked, “Mr. Lynn, what are you

doing?”
Mr. Lynn looked at her with a smile and said, “Miss Smith, I just wanted to ask you when you’re going
to pay back the 6 million dors you borrowed from me.”
“A small error urred when I carried out my n, which makes me unable to pay back the money for
the time being,” said Isabe.
“Is that so?” Mr. Lynn asked with a sneer, “Miss Smith, are you going to repudiate your debt?”
Hearing his words, the burly men took a step forward in unison.
Isabe, whose face darkened, said through clenched teeth, “Give me a grace period of one month. I
will definitely return the money to you then.”
Mr. Lynn raised his eyebrows without giving an affirmative or negative answer.
“You don’t trust me even though I’m from the Smith family?” Isabe continued through clenched teeth,
“Besides, I didn’t take the 6 million dors for nothing. I exchanged it for information. What do you think
Ben would think if I told him that you tried to find Susan’s weakness?”
Mr. Lynn frowned and looked at her coldly.
Isabe, who had calmed down, said, “I’m not going to repudiate my debt, and I just need one month’s
grace.”
Mr. Lynn said slowly after gazing at her for a long while, “Well, I’ll give you one month. If you fail to pay
back the 6 million dors in a month, I’ll show you who’s the boss in this city. Although you’re from the
Smith family, you don’t have a single rtive or friend here. If anything untoward should happen to you,
it will be even beyond the Lynn family’s ability to help you, won’t it?”
He was threatening her.
Isabe’s heart skipped a beat.
She had believed that she, who lived her life again, had everything under her control.
However, it wasn’t as easy as she had imagined to win Ben’s heart and make use of Mr. Lynn.
Chapter 149
Isabe was at a loss at the moment.
What was the point of living her life again?
After Mr. Lynn left with his men, Isabe left the airport in a daze.
At present, she only had less than 400 thousand dors. How could she achieve something with such a
small amount of money that was even not enough to run her start- uppany?
She took a deep breath, thinking that if she couldn’t afford to run herpany, she would shut it down
for the time being and reopen it when she got enough funds.
As she thought, she went all the way back to herpany.
As soon as she got there, someone greeted her enthusiastically.
“Miss Smith, how are you?” Mr. Witt asked with a smile.
“Who are you?” Isabe asked, looking impatient. “Get lost. Leave me alone.”
As a famous director, Mr. Witt had not been treated like this in a long time, but he still maintained his
bright smile. Because Susan had promised him that if he could convince Miss Smith to invest in his
movie, she would invest the 60 million dors he needed in her
name.
Mr. Witt was willing to do all he could for his dream.
“Miss Smith, here’s the thing. I would like to present you a movie project and see if you want to invest
in it,” Mr. Witt asked.
“What are you talking about? Get lost,” Isabe said, getting more agitated.
“Miss Smith, please read the script. It’s about…” Mr. Witt continued.
“I told you to get lost!” Isabe interrupted him in a shrill voice and pushed him away.
Stunned for a moment, Mr. Witt sighed, saying, “Forget it. I think Love in Bitter Winter can only be my
dream.”
Dejected, he turned around and was about to leave.
Love in Bitter Winter!
Chapter 149
The name hit Isabe like a bolt out of the blue.
She knew this movie.
She quickly turned around and grabbed Mr. Witt’s hand, asking, “Sir, is Love in Bitter Winter the name
of your story?”
Mr. Witt answered after being stunned for a moment, “Yes.”
“Can you give me a brief synopsis of the story?” Isabe asked, her eyes lighting up.
Although Mr. Witt had no idea why Isabe’s attitude suddenly changed, he cheered up and gave a
brief synopsis of the story.
As Isabe listened, she got increasingly excited with a sparkle in her eyes.
Sure enough, she was still favored by fortune.
Just after she missed an opportunity to make money, she got another one.
This movie was definitely the one that had been a blockbuster in thest life.
It had not only won praise from everyone but also set a new box office record for art
movies.
With an investment of 60 million dors, it had earned more than a billion dors around
the world.
Even when the movie was shown again five yearster, it earned 200 million dors.
In thest life, Susan, who had invested in the movie all by herself, had made a decent profit and had
even been highly praised as a discerning investor as good as Ben.
But in this life, Isabe got the opportunity!
At the thought of this, Isabe got excited, quickly saying, “Mr. Witt, I’ll invest in your
movie.”
With eyes lighting up, Mr. Witt asked, “How much are you going to invest?”
Isabe, whose face froze, replied, “Uh, I can’t afford to make an investment for the time being. But if
you give me a year, I will definitely earn 60 million dors and invest in your movie.”
Chapter 149
Mr. Witt was at a loss for words.
It sounded unreliable.
“I mean it. You must believe me,” Isabe said anxiously. Once she made this deal, she could directly
make more than 10 times the profit without much effort.
She was definitely unwilling to miss this opportunity.
“Let me think about it,” Mr. Witt reluctantly replied.
However, Isabe did not let Mr. Witt leave until she got his contact information.
Isabe was not that anxious.
As far as she remembered, in thest life, Mr. Witt did not begin to shoot this movie until
next year.
The main reason seemed to be that Susan was afraid of making an unsessful investment, so she
did not invest Ben’s money. Instead, she created a program that got a substantial amount of users and
invested in and started the project after getting a substantial reward.
Therefore, as long as she earned 60 million dors earlier than Susan, she would have the chance to
invest in the movie before Susan did.
In the evening, Isabe sent a message to Mr. Witt, asking him to wait for her investment.
Mr. Witt replied soon after.
Isabe hurriedly read the message and was dumbfounded.
The message said: [Miss Smith, I’m sorry, but someone has invested all the 60 million dors this
project needs, so I’m afraid I can’t cooperate with you.]
Isabe trembled in shock, typing a message slowly. [Is the investor Susan?]
Mr. Witt replied in astonishment, [Miss Smith, how did you know?]
In an instant, Isabe copsed weakly.
Why? Why did Susan decide to invest in the movie earlier than she was supposed to?

Chapter 149
Why was the situation different from that in thest life?
Nothing changed except for Mr. Witt’s visit.
No, Mr. Witt’s visit…
When Isabe thought of this, her pupils suddenly contracted.
After Mr. Witt paid her a visit today, Susan decided to invest in the movie tonight, as if Susan had
already known that the movie would definitely be a blockbuster.
Could it be that Susan knew her secret that she lived her life again?
At the thought of this, Isabe couldn’t help trembling.
It was her biggest secret that she lived her life again.
If the secret was exposed, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Did Susan really know?
With trembling lips, Isabe decided that she had to find out if Susan knew about it.
Early the next morning, Isabe kept calling Susan and sending her messages to ask her
out.
Susan happened to have gone to wash up.
Ben saw all the messages.
He squinted and sent Isabe an address nkly, asking her to meet there in half an hour.
Then, he deleted all the chat history and iing call notifications.
Although Isabe was quite useful in a sense, she had tried all the time to cause them trouble. Ben,
disinclined to deal with her again and again, thought that it was time to get
rid of her.
[Greenlight Hotel.] Isabe looked at the address, her pupils suddenly contracting.
She had stayed in the presidential suite in that hotel before.
Her heart beat wildly.
Did Susan know her secret as she expected?
In this case, should she go this time?
Isabe gritted her teeth, deciding to go, as she did not think that Susan could do anything
to her.
In the presidential suite…
Isabe held her breath and opened the door nervously.
Then, she saw a man standing with his back to her.
“It’s not Susan?” she wondered.
Stunned for a moment, Isabe realized something and suddenly breathed rapidly.
She thought, “It’s Ben, isn’t it?”
Unexpectedly, Ben invited her to a hotel room. Could it be that he had feelings for her?
“Hello, Mr. Landor,” Isabe said in a charming voice and was about to walk over.
“Stay there,” Ben said in disgust.
She suddenly stopped.
Ben turned around and looked at her expressionlessly, saying, “Miss Smith, you seem to have been
harassing my wife recently.”
