Chapter 57
Chapter 57 Changed His Mind
was surprised that he changed his mind. She listened closely to his
whispers, not wanting to miss anything.
Seth was still leaning over, saying, “We’ll take 70 percent and leave the rest
for the Limes and the Dawsons.”
Isabe mused, wondering why Seth was doing this.
Jonathan came to the conclusion faster than she could. A small smile curled
his lips. “Smart.”
A stroke of inspiration struck Isabe, and she understood why Seth wanted
to do this. The Hanks and Larsons were powerful. If they were to be the

partners, they’d want to take 30 percent of the rights each, and that would
put them in a three-way deadlock. The Limes and the Dawsons, however,
were not as powerful as the Shaffers, but they were rich as well.
If he worked with them, the Shaffers could remain as the unequivocal leader.
The other families would do their best to keep the Larsons and the Hanks out
of the deal if they wanted to safeguard their interests. Even if they didn’t want
to, they would have to help Seth.
Cunning and dirty.
Jonathan said something, and he coughed. It made talking harder. “I’m not in
good health now. Felix will deal with this from now on. Do your best. You can
do better than just being the boss of the Shaffer Group.”
Seth pulled back. Finally, he told Jonathan to get some rest, and he stood up.
Thinking that he wanted to leave, Isabe stepped backward.

Seth pulled back. Finally, he told Jonathan to get some rest, and he stood up.
Thinking that he wanted to leave, Isabe stepped backward.
Jonathan saw her, and he asked, “Is this the assistant who found the doctor?”
Seth stopped moving and looked at Isabe. He gave her a look subtly.
Isabe went ahead and nodded. “Hi, Mr. Gosling. I’m Isabe.”
“Thank you.” Jonathan looked at her warmly. “It’s not easy finding someone
Isabe waved her hands. “It’s nothing. Just dragged the doctor all the way
here.”
Jonathan smiled and stared at Isabe for a while. Isabe’s cheeks burned,
and she fidgeted.
“Once I feel better, I’ll treat you to dinner. For now, all I can say is thank you.”
Isabe was surprised Jonathan was paying her so much attention. She kept
telling him it was just her job, and that Seth was the one who told her to do it.
Jonathan smiled more, seeing her so nervous. “You should get some rest.”
Isabe heaved a sigh of relief and bowed. She moved a few steps back and
turned around. Seth was waiting for her at the doorway. Even through the
goggles, she could see the mockery in his eyes. She knew he wasughing at
her for being a nervous bumpkin.
Isabe gave a humph in her mind. She was still trying toe up with a
n to get a favor from Seth.
They came out of the room and got changed. Everyone in the corridor stood
up and looked at them with the same expression on their faces. It reminded
Isabe of the times everyone was waiting for the teacher to announce the
result of their test when she was little.
Seth nodded at Felix. Calmly, he said, “He’s feeling better. We’re leaving.”
He said nothing else and announced that he was leaving right away. That
didn’t sit well with everyone.
“Did he really say nothing, Mr. Shaffer?” Spencer went and blocked Seth.
Seth was taller than Spencer, and he looked down at him coolly.
Nonchntly, he said, “Just a little chat. Do you really want to know what we
talked about, Mr. Hanks?”
Spencer choked on his own words. He knew he shouldn’t ask, but he couldn’t
sit idly by when a project of this volume would be taken away by Shaffer
Group.
“It’ste. You guys should go back and get some rest.” Felix stepped in.
Spencer moved away, but he was green, red, and purple at the same time.
Seth raised his head arrogantly. He put one hand in his pocket and left the
ce.
Isabe followed him. When she raised her head, she met the eyes of a
young man. He was looking at her darkly at first, but then he had a look of lust
in his eyes.
Isabe knew that look all too well. It disgusted her. She looked away and
followed Seth quickly. Nics was waiting at the stairway. Standing beside
him was Selena, who came earlier.
Selena was polite. She went ahead and helped Isabe get into the elevator.
“Hi, Isabe.”
??
Isabe didn’t like her, but she wasn’t disgusted either, so she did not fling her
hand away.
Before Isabe could get into the elevator, someone behind her said warmly,
“You’re ditching the doctor after you’re done with your business?”
