Chapter 92
Isabe had obtained the document but was pondering over how to deal
with Jonas. Just then, she looked up and happened to see his insincere smile
through the window. As she was twirling a ballpoint pen between her fingers,
a great idea suddenly came to her mind.
“Who is in for trouble with that creepy smile of yours?” Alex teased her as she
passed by.
Isabe withdrew her gaze and smirked. “Come on, that was a kindly smile.”
“You haven’t closed any deals this month, have you?” Alex took a sip of water
while looking at her. “Don’t you feel pressured about it?” she asked, to which
Isabe shrugged. “I closed a deal for myself, didn’t I?”
Chapter 92 A Death Wish Granted
Alex rolled her eyes. “Try closing a deal for yourself every month if you dare.”
I’ll be out of here in less than three months, and then these crappy sales
won’t bother me anymore, Isabe thought to herself. With two big ns in
mind, she had no mood for work, so she kept checking the time on her phone.
She waited for what seemed like an eternity until the end of the workday, at
which she grabbed her bag and prepared to leave. However, she wasn’t
intending to go home. “Is the alley behind our office crowded?” she asked
Alex.
Alex patted her face. “Yeah, it’s bustling with lots of bars and such,” she
replied before stopping herself mid-sentence. She reminded Isabe, “But
there are always street racers showing off their driving skills there. Just a
couple of days ago, two girls got bruised all over from being knocked over in
the alley.”

Isabe’s gaze flickered, and she replied with a faint smile, “I’m just going
there for a meal.”
Not noticing anything unusual about her, Alex then left with her bag.
Isabe made a special effort to fix her makeup in the break room. Then, with
her bag in hand, she gracefully sashayed into the bar-filled alley at the back.
She first went to a pub, where she grabbed something to eat and waited until
_nightfall. After that, she entered the alley alone.
The alley wasn’t deserted; people wereing and going, making it nearly
impossible to abduct someone. However, it would be very easy to knock
someone over in this alley.
Isabe strolled leisurely, her footsteps rxed and unhurried. She seemed
quite out of ce with the hustle and bustle of the alley, but thanks to her

striking good looks, some men came up and tried to hit on her. She turned
down several of them, but one kept following her, seemingly intending to
attach himself to her.
Just when she was finding the man bothersome, the roar of engines echoed
at the alley’s entrance.
“Get out of the way! It’s the street racers!”
Seeing the headlights approaching from a distance, the man who had been
trying to hit on her quickly dodged to the side in fear.
Isabe’s heart raced. Having anticipated this moment, she stood there
unmoving as if petrified. She didn’t scream until the motorcycle was almost
in front of her. However, it was already toote for her to dodge. The
motorcyclist didn’t let up on the gas either; he was actually aiming straight at
Chapter 92 A Death Wish Granted
her.
In the nick of time, someone gave Isabe a slight push.
Being hit on one side, Isabe was instantly sent flying, her cheek scraping
against the ground. The searing pain felt like her skin had been peeled off her
face, which, coupled with the impact of the collision on her body, made her
feel as though her bones were going to fall apart.
“Someone’s been knocked over! Quick, call an ambnce!”

Isabey face down on the ground, her mind still conscious. She hadn’t
been petrified just now; rather, she had gritted her teeth and insisted on
standing there. In other words, she had been waiting for the motorcycle to
run her over.

Having taken a hit in dealing with her, Lara would certainly retaliate, so her
presence in the alley was to create an opportunity for her. Street racers were
a perfect cover; no one could trace it back to Lara.
“Miss, are you okay?”
“Are you still conscious?”
People around her spoke, but her head was spinning from the pain. Her lips
trembled as she tried to speak, but she couldn’t make a sound.
Fortunately, the ambnce arrived just in time, and she was quickly lifted
onto a stretcher.

An hourter…
“I really don’t know whether to call you lucky or unlucky.” The nurse shook her
head in resignation while standing by Isabe’s sickbed in the hospital. “When
someone gets knocked over, they usually sustain some injuries, but there’s
hardly any serious injuries on you. That being said, your face is badly hurt.
With such a big scrape on your face, it’ll be some time before you can show
your face again.”
Isabe forced a smile with her pale lips. She replied hoarsely, “Every cloud
has a silver lining, I guess.”
The nurse shrugged and checked her temperature again. “There’s no major
issues.”
Isabe thanked her and asked, “When can I get discharged from the
Chapter 92 A Death Wish Granted
hospital?”
The nurse checked her feet and replied, “You don’t need to be hospitalized,
actually. Everything is fine ording to the tests, but your feet and face need
proper care, or there might beplications.”
Isabe let out a sigh of relief. “Alright, then. I’ll rest for tonight and get
discharged tomorrow morning.”
The nurse was amodating and offered some words of advice on what
to watch out for. Before she left, she asked Isabe if she had any family
members to take care of her.
Isabe casually replied that she wasn’t a local, so it was inconvenient for her
family toe over.
The nurse looked somewhat sympathetic. In the end, she pursed her lips and
left the room.
As silence returned to the single room, Isabe breathed a sigh of relief,
feeling utterly exhausted.
