Chapter 48


    The room was dark. Someone knocking on the door at this moment was like


    getting smacked on the back when someone was walking in the night.


    Isabe didn’t make a sound. She went to the door and looked through the


    peephole. It was a waiter. She said nothing, just to be safe. Instead, she


    tucked herptop away and turned on the faucet in the bathroom.


    As expected, a whileter, the lock started to creak. Isabe held her phone


    and stood by the window. She looked down and jumped off without


    hesitation. It wasn’t asphalt but gravel waiting for her. She sprained her ankle


    on the way down, and the pain made her frown.


    Worried she might be caught, she left in a hurry, holding down her pain. She


    reached the main road and hailed a ride. It was almost 9.00PM, and


    Chapter 48 Seth


    Tor You


    everything was dark. Isabe was in a city she wasn’t familiar with, so she


    had no ce to stay.


    “Should I stop right ahead, miss?” The driver was a little cautious, seeing that


    Isabe didn’t look alright.


    Isabe thought the ce looked crowded enough, so she told the driver to


    let her get out there. Jonas woulde after her once he found out she was


    gone. He would not stop that easily.


    She reached a quiet corner and called Natasha. It took Natasha a while


    before she picked up. Natasha sent a couple of men over to her as promised,


    and she said, “Don’t do anything until my men get there. Stay safe.”


    Isabe agreed. She then hung up and waited at the roadside. There were


    people all around, and she felt awkward standing around like a mannequin.


    Chapter 48 Seth Went for You


    In the end, she went to a street that had cafes and restaurants in it. It was


    quiet but not remote.


    She stood outside an eatery and got a call from Jonas. Panicked, she didn’t


    realize someone was closing in on her from behind.


    Ice-cold water fell down her back, and Isabe almost jumped. She whirled


    and was met with a terrified youngdy. She probably came out of a


    restaurant after having dinner, and she was holding a cup of something. She


    didn’t see Isabe since she was fooling around with her friends, and she


    bumped into her.


    Isabe was grumpy, but she had no time to waste, so she let the youngdy


    go, much to her annoyance. Her phone was still ringing, but she ignored it.


    He’ll get annoyed.

    Chapter 48 Seth Went for You


    Her back was drenched, and a gust of icy breeze blew across the street. The


    cold seeped into her bones, and she felt goosebumps ring all over her.


    The streemps shone upon the water on the ground, making it look a little


    whimsical.


    Isabe heaved a sigh and cursed Jonas in her heart. I’ll make him pay! She


    was spacing out, then her phone rang again. She looked down and saw that


    it was from Natasha. “Hey.”


    “Um, Isabe…” Natasha hesitated for a moment, then she clicked her tongue.


    “Seth went to find you.”


    Isabe spaced out for a moment. She stared at the empty entryway of the


    street. “What?”


    Chapter 48 Seth Went for You


    “Dariel’s an idiot. He told Seth after he heard you calling me, and Seth’s


    nearby.”


    Isabe gulped. She had no idea what to feel, and she stared at the puddle


    for a long time. Natasha kept calling her name, but she didn’t hear her. It was


    then that she heard the honk of a caring near her. A bright beam of light


    came from the street’s entryway, crushing all the crimson dreamlike


    aesthetic.


    Isabe hung up and narrowed her eyes.


    Someone opened the car door, and ad came out. It was Nics, the guy


    she picked that day to annoy Seth.


    Nics quickly went over to her. Politely, he said, “Get in the car, Isabe.”


    Chapter 48 Seth Went for You


    Isabe was hesitant. “It’s alright. I-”


    Nics interrupted, “Mr. Shaffer is in the car.”


    That put a lot of pressure on Isabe. She looked at the ck Bentley, and


    she couldn’t say no.


    “Come, please.” Nics made way for her.


    Isabe took a deep breath and stood up straight, then she made her way to


    the entryway. She opened the door to the co-driver’s seat, but there was


    someone inside.


    It was Selena.


    She was in a yellow dress that showed a little of her chest. Her hair was styled


    ter 48 Seth


    like a princess, and there was a shining diamond tiara on her head. She


    looked at Isabe meekly. “Hey, Isabe.”


    ミ


    Isabe smiled. She said nothing, but she was hesitating. She was drenched,


    so if she took the backseat, Seth wouldin again.


    Nics stood outside the car. He whispered, “Take the backseat. Mr. Shaffer is


    waiting.”


    Isabe smiled at him. She then reluctantly opened the door to the backseat.


    Seth was leaning in the backseat, his eyes closed.


    Isabe looked at him, and her heart skipped a beat. Seth was in a suit, and a


    jacket was draped over him. His suit was custom-made and fit him perfectly.


    His hair was slicked back, and since he was leaning backward, strands of hair


    fell down his forehead. A hint of weakness was mixed in with his powerful


    anyone let their guard down.


    Isabe didn’t dare get close to him, nor did she know why he came. Nics


    started driving, but she had no idea where they were going.


    They reached the hotel, and the manager came to wee them. Only then


    did Isabe starting up with a countern.


    She was about to speak up, but Seth opened his eyes. Their eyes met


    through the reflection in the rear-view mirror.
