Chapter 128
Isabe’s face flushed with heat as she avoided the gazes of the crowd,
trying to pull Gordon out of the encirclement.
However, before she could act, a male voice interrupted.
“Mr. Dunkstein really has good taste. This car suits Miss Symons perfectly.”
Christopher, dressed in a bright red suit, stood out conspicuously. His
well-known face was instantly recognized, causing a stir as soon as he
appeared.
Most of the people in the venue were here for Seth. They didn’t expect a
bonus-Christopher, who was only slightly less impressive than Seth.
Standing beside Gordon, Isabe felt the eyes around her constantly shifting
between her and the two men. It felt much more intense than the attention
she had received outside the main gate just now.
Despite her internal frustration, she maintained a polite expression as she

nodded to Christopher and then turned to Gordon.
“I don’t need a car. You don’t have to spend so much money, Mr. Dunkstein.”
“It won’t hurt to drive it for fun.” Gordon ignored her. He had a grudge against
Christopher and insisted on showing off.
As he spoke, he snapped his fingers at the salesperson beside him, signaling
them to proceed with the documents.
Isabe felt a headacheing on. She had received generous gifts before,
such as the downtown house that Seth had given her as a reward for
apanying him abroad for more than two months. She was ecstatic
back then, but now, at the mention of over 1.2 million, her face turned warm
as she tried to think of a way to stop Gordon.
“Why would you force her to drive it when she doesn’t seem to want it?”
Christopher, who had been watching the show, seemed to sense that
Isabe was mentally tense, so he took advantage of the situation to add
fuel to the fire.

Gordon was about to swipe his card when he suddenly heard Christopher’s
annoyingment. It instantly made his mood extremely unpleasant.
He lowered his gaze, clenched his fist, and was about to punch Christopher.
Noticing him, Isabe quickly grabbed his arm with an anxious look. “Gordon!”
Rarely did she call Gordon by his name. His eyes flickered, and the anger
boiling within instantly subsided.
Everyone around could tell that the two young men were at odds, while
Isabe easily persuaded Gordon.
“Do you really not want it?” Gordon frowned and asked her.
She quickly nodded in response. “We’re in Imperia! The traffic jam here is
insane.”
Her words sounded so sincere that the salesperson’s colleague gritted her
teeth and silently thought, “This person is a fool to reject him!”
This time, Gordon clicked his tongue and waved to the salesperson. “Forget

it.”
Isabe secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Worried that Christopher would
continue to speak nonsense, she took the initiative to hold Gordon’s arm and
deliberately led him away from the crowd.
As they walked past Christopher, she heard him chuckle in a seemingly
sarcastic and amused tone.
That sound gave her the sensation of a snake’s tongue brushing against her
neck, prompting her to quicken her pace.
When they were finally out of the crowd, Gordon withdrew his arm and
grasped Isabe’s hand.
“What are you afraid of? It was just Christopher.”
Isabe rolled her eyes. “Sir, even your father might not dare to confront the
Larson Family head-on.”
After all, there was a big difference between nouveau riche and

deeply-rooted wealthy families.
When he finally understood what she meant, he frowned.
Sighing, Isabe withdrew her hand from his grip and advised, “You two can’t
have that big of a grudge, right? Just endure it in public.”
Gordon pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes. “This guy almost sent me to
prison. How bad do you think this grudge is?”
Isabe was taken aback as she did not expect that at all.
After pondering about it, she recalled what Seth had told her. Gordon had
once been involved in a criminal case.
“You probably know about it, don’t you?” Gordon had no intention of
concealing it as he reached into his pocket for a cigarette. However, he found
that he had changed his clothes and didn’t bring any. His mood worsened,
and he cursed.
Helplessly, Isabe grabbed some mint candy from a nearby tray. “Have this
first.”

Instead of taking it from her, he opened his mouth.
Isabe was speechless at that.
Not wanting to annoy him even more, she tore the candy wrapper, pinched
one side of the candy, and brought it near his mouth.
Gordon raised his brows with a hint of mischief in his eyes. Staring at Isabe,
he bit half of the candy with his teeth.
Initially, she was going to withdraw her hand, but he suddenly stuck his
tongue out and licked the tip of her finger.
Isabe widened her eyes and quickly retracted her hand due to shock.
After sessfully teasing her, Gordon looked pleased. He looked like a cat
that had stolen a bite of fish. Fixing his gaze on Isabe, hemented,
“Sweet.”
“Bullsh*t. Mint candy isn’t sweet,” she muttered, taking a deep breath.
She crossed her arms and subtly rubbed her fingertips on her clothes. At the
08:35 Tue, 2 Jan M

same time, she was frustrated.

Noticing the displeased look on her face, Gordon clicked his tongue. “Why are
you so upset?”
From N?velDrama.Org.
The venue suddenly became noisy even before he could coax her.
“Are you sure? Is he really here?!”
Two salesgirls from the sales department walked past Isabe and Gordon,
sounding excited.
Instantly, Isabe’s attention was diverted. She tiptoed to look outside. “Who’s
here?”
