Chapter 137
Seth nced up, giving Gordon a stern re as a clear warning.
Unfazed, Gordon snorted. “You’ve taken a liking to Isabe?”
Seth raised an eyebrow, finding the question absurd. “Why is that any of your
business?”
“If you’re interested in her, just say so. If not, stop being so sour. I’ve developed
feelings for her, you know,” Gordon said candidly, disying a carefree
attitude. He seemed unconcerned about the fact that Seth was much more
powerful than his father.
Seth narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the young man before him. Suddenly, he
couldn’t help but scoff with disdain. He leaned back in a rxed posture and
replied, “You may have feelings for her, but she might not feel the same way
about you.”
Gordon retorted, “Can you read her mind?”

Seth’s thin lips parted slightly as he spoke in a calm manner, “She’s been with

me for five years. Her other abilities might not have improved, but at least her
taste in men hasn’t declined.”
Gordon fired back, “So, you think you know what’s best for her?”
Seth pursed his lips, his expression grim, thinking, Do I? There’s nothing I can’t
do if I want to. The point was that he had never considered marrying Isabe.
While there were cases of wealthy heirs marrying actresses or secretaries
within their social circles, none of these marriagessted. Instead, they all
ended in messy divorces involving property disputes and legal battles.
Though he didn’t support hasty decisions like Dariel and Natasha’s abortion,
he believed it was Dariel’s right to make such choices.
Simrly, Seth’s initial attraction to Isabe five years ago had evolved into
the pleasant surprise of seeing her change, but that was it. If that alone were
the basis for marriage, it would be absurd.
“If you’ve changed your mind, leave, and don’t stop me from pursuing my
girl,” Gordon dered. He thought Seth had reconsidered, waving his hand as

he confidently exited the ambnce.
As soon as Gordon left the ambnce, Seth also stepped out.
“What do you mean by this?”
“There’s no conflict between your desire to marry her and my desire to hold
her back.” With a hand in his pocket, Seth walked past Gordon and headed
into the hospital without a care.
Gordon stood frozen in ce for a while, his mouth agape with amazement.
Finally, he swore, “Forget it!”
In the hospital, Isabe, supported by the nurses, underwent two
examinations to ensure she was alright before the doctor removed the
needles from her knee. There were three needles stuck in her knee from
different angles, one of them nearly piercing her bone.
“You youngsters are truly reckless.” The doctor lectured Isabe while
attending to her injuries.

She held her tongue, feeling somewhat scared at this moment. If she hadn’t
been so tense during the race and barely moved her legs, she might have
been in a serious car ident by now.
At that moment, Isabe sat silently. She heard Gordon’s voice from outside,
sounding frustrated and swearing angrily. Without needing to think, she knew
what was happening. However, shecked the energy to deal with the two
men outside. Before Seth and Gordon entered the room, she closed her eyes
and leaned back in her chair.
“Whoa,” the doctor mumbled softly. He had thought it was a lovers’ quarrel,
only to be surprised when two men entered at once.
Seth and Gordon asked in unison, “How is she?”
ncing at Isabe, the doctor opened his mouth and replied irritably, “Her
injuries are serious.”
Gordon, sounding anxious, immediately asked, “She doesn’t have to have her
leg amputated, does she?”

Isabe felt speechless while closing her eyes. In her mind, she thought,
Really? Three needle pricks and my leg needs to be amputated? Do I owe
you a thank-you for that?
She exhaled and, with no intention to justify, casually turned her face away.
Suddenly, someone approached her. The smell was familiar, and she was
sure it was Seth, even with her face turned away. Then, unexpectedly, he
reached out and pressed her knee.
“Aaaah!” She instantly opened her eyes and nearly jumped to her feet in pain.
Stunned, both the doctor and Gordon stared at Seth with wide eyes. “What
are you doing?!”
Seth sat down beside Isabe, leaning back with his legs crossed. He

Huh? The doctor was baffled by the situation.

She took a deep breath, her neck tense as she turned to re at Seth. She
was utterly speechless with anger.
Unperturbed, Seth continued tly, “But even if you need an amputation, it’ll
be worth it since you’ll get a car in return.”
Catching the sarcasm in his words, Isabe sneered and looked away. She
responded without making eye contact. “Sure, Mr. Shaffer. Why don’t you go
for an amputation? I’ll even buy you two cars afterward.”
