Chapter 51
Seth gave her a scornful look. Annoyed, he said, “You’ve only left work for
days, and you’ve forgotten all the stuff you worked on for years?”
Isabe choked on her words. She had worked for Seth for five years, and
they had experience meeting clientste at night, but those were rare
urrences. “Who are you seeing?” she asked.
Seth buttoned thest button on his shirt and stood before the mirror. He
stood tall, and he felt oppressive even when he wasn’t talking. He raised his
chin. “Jonathan Gosling.”
“Mr. Gosling?” Isabe was shocked, and she almost let go of the nket.
Seth said nothing. That was a tacit agreement.

Isabe was silent. She was worried. Jonathan was a retired government
man and a very high-ranking official. He was nearly eighty, and he was
seeing Seth at this hour. If anything were to happen to Jonathan, it would be
bad. “Mr. Shaffer, Mr. Gosling’s heart isn’t as healthy as it was. This isn’t the

best hour to see him.”
Seth strode to the couch without looking back. He made a call and told
someone to prepare the files. He then hung up and noticed that Isabe was
looking at him. “I’m not going alone,” hemented.
Isabe got what he was saying. He must be waiting for Jonathan to make
the decision on something important, and a group of people were going to
meet him as well. He was in that group.
Seth finished changing and left. A momentter, someone came in. Isabe
heard his voice, and she knew it was Ollie.

“Mr. Shaffer, the Hanks have left. It is now Ronald and Christopher Larson’s
turn.”
Seth asked coolly, “Have they met?”
“Only said hi at the doorway. Nothing more,” Ollie answered.
Seth said nothing.
Isabe got out of bed, still covering herself with a nket. She quickly
changed into a robe and leaned on the door to listen in.
Seth was about to move, and he told Ollie to get prepared. Isabe quickly
got up, but it was toote to run. Seth opened the door and realized she was
listening in. He looked at her coldly and picked up the watch he left behind,
but he said nothing.
Chapter 51 She’s Not Suitable
Out of an old habit, she said, “Mr. Shaffer, Mr. Gosling isn’t as young as he
used to be. It’s not advisable for someone with his condition to stay upte at
night. If you have to talk, make sure you keep an eye on the time.”
Seth shot her a mysterious look.
Isabe licked her lips. She mused about it for a moment before adding, “And
Selena’s not a suitable partner for this.”
Seth paused for a moment and looked at her again. “Then who is?”
“Nics or Ollie. Either of them,” Isabe answered without hesitation. “Mr.
Gosling’ste wife was Mr. Stone’s beloved daughter. She was a tough
woman and hated girls who were indecisive. That rubbed off on her husband,
and Mr. Gosling is a man who cares about his business partner’s private life.
It’s inappropriate to bring a beautiful woman over to his cete at night.”
Chapter 51 She’s Not Suitable
Isabe made great points. None of it was made emotionally.
Seth looked at her and looked away only after she was done talking.
Isabe thought he wanted to take Selena no matter what, so she continued,
“You’ll have more chances to take her around. She-”
“And who told you I was taking her with me?” Seth suddenly raised his head
and looked at her.
Isabe froze for a moment. “So what-”
“Ollie is enough,” Seth responded curtly.
Isabe heaved a sigh of relief and hobbled away. She shut up and said
nothing more. Ollie knocked on the door, telling Seth that it was time. Seth

picked up his suit and went away.
When he reached the doorway, he turned to the side and looked at Isabe.
“Natasha’s men are here. You can deal with the rest yourself.”
Isabe was still wondering what Seth was talking about, but he had left. A
moment of silenceter, she remembered that she had asked Natasha to
dispatch a couple of men for her.
While she was spacing out, the phone on the nightstand rang. She held back
her pain and hobbled over. Then, she took the call. “Hi, it’s Isabe.”
“We’re at the hotel, Isabe. What’s the n?”
Isabe leaned on the couch and mused over it. “Just stand around for a bit.
I’ll call him. He shoulde, so just teach him a little lesson. Don’t go too far.”
Chapter 51 She’s Not Suitable
“Gotcha.”
The call ended. Isabe crossed her arms and mused over some stuff again.
Once she was done, she called Jonas.
Jonas picked it up, and he spoke crassly and harshly. “Where are you? It’ste
at night. You’re troubling me, you know that?”
Isabe faked being drunk, and she drawled, “Pick me up, Mr. Stokes.”
Jonas paused for a moment, and he softened a little. “You’re running around
even when you’re drunk?”
Isabe guessed that he was only in cahoots with the receptionist, so he
wouldn’t check the security footage. She kept faking a drawl and spoke in a
daze. “I have no idea where I am. Woke up in this ce.”
Isabe told him the hotel’s address and kept saying she had no idea where
she was and that she was scared.
Hearing that she was at a hotel, Jonas softened up even more. He told
Isabe to reserve a room. He would go over and take a look.
Isabe harrumphed. You old git. Think I’m easy prey? This is what you get for
harassing me. She hung up and waited for Jonas to show up and get his *ss
whooped. She stood at the floor-to-roof window that allowed her vision of
the ground. She felt gratified, and then someone knocked on the door.
