Chapter 147


    Isabe recognized that annoying voice immediately. It almost startled her


    awake from her near-fainting state, and she struggled to open her eyes. Her


    vision remained blurry, and all she could make out were some silhouettes


    emerging from the elevator. However, she could sense a chilling atmosphere


    enveloping her and Gordon.


    Isabe closed her eyes, allowing tears to well up and clear her vision. Seth,


    looking dark and tense, stood in the elevator, ring at them with murderous


    intent. “Do you think you can leave after what you did in mypany?” Seth


    asked coldly, his tone devoid of any emotion.


    Seeking sce, Isabe leaned closer to Gordon, gripping his shoulder. She


    pleaded, “That was just a mistake, Mr. Shaffer. He didn’t mean it.”


    “A mistake?” Seth sneered, his gaze fixed on Isabe. He was clearly in a foul


    mood.


    “Enough, move aside,” Gordon retorted, indifferent to the situation. He only


    wanted to take Isabe to the hospital.


    Panic washed over Isabe as she heard his words. Breaking into the


    he was challenging Seth. Seth might actually be serious. Since she


    couldn’t stop Gordon, she turned to Seth, but this time, she spoke with more


    determination. “Mr. Shaffer, your employees interrogated me for an entire


    day, and I haven’t had anything to eat or drink until now. It wouldn’t bode well


    if the public were to find out about this.” She shifted from being apologetic to


    making a threat.


    Seth’s lips curled downwards, and any trace of humanity left in him vanished.


    He forced a twisted smile. “Feel free to inform the public.”


    Dariel clicked his tongue and added fuel to the fire. “Oh, Isabe, you’re being


    quite bold. You’re threatening Seth.”


    I always knew that guy was a worthless piece of trash. This will only make


    things worse.


    The doors of the employee elevator swung open, and Selena emerged.


    Isabe’s temples throbbed. She had a feeling that things were about to take


    a turn for the worse, and she could sense the shadow of death looming over


    Selena seemed to appear out of thin air and quickly stood by Seth’s side. “Sir,


    we have a problem,” she wanted to say it aloud, but she couldn’t. She


    appeared panicked.


    Seth despised it when people did that. In a deadpan tone, he said, “Speak.”


    Selena bit her lip and turned to Isabe. “Did you call the media, Isabe?”


    All eyes turned to Isabe. She froze. Yes, she had entertained the idea and


    even made a call, but she got cold feet and hung up as soon as the call


    connected. She tried to say something, but Selena cut her off. “Even if you’re


    dissatisfied with thepany, you shouldn’t have contacted the media. It


    has only been a few days since the incident involving you and Miss Shaffer.


    Thepany is already on thin ice. One wrong move, and we’ll be in serious


    trouble.”


    Isabe swallowed her exnation. She tensed up and looked at Selena with


    uncertainty, wondering how much of what she said was true.


    Before she could deduce anything, Seth spoke up. “So, that’s why you dared


    to threaten us?”

    Isabe took a deep breath. She regretted saying that. Now that someone


    hade to ‘verify’ her threat, she couldn’t deny it anymore. She gritted her


    teeth. Alright, I have no other choice now. “So what?”


    She locked eyes with Seth. It didn’t take her long to realize the consequences


    of her choice, and she stared fearlessly at Seth. Despite being held in


    Gordon’s arms and being shorter than him, she showed no signs of fear. “The


    media is right outside. Either you instruct your men to escort me out, or


    Gordon can charge straight through. The media will present a different story


    if that happens.”


    My, Dariel clicked his tongue and apuded Isabe. She’s like a rose


    blooming on a remote ind. Mysterious and captivating. She possesses


    poisonous thorns, and even if they prick anyone who touches her, she will


    only show them beautiful illusions,pelling them to touch her again.


    Seth pursed his lips, remaining silent for a long while. He stared at Isabe


    with a dark expression, the twisted smile now absent.


    Dariel and Isabe knew Seth well. They knew he was furious.


    “What will the media think if you leave like that?”


    Isabe furrowed her brow. She didn’t expect Seth to say that after the


    silence. She began, “I-”


    Seth nodded and cut her off. “I’ll drive you there.”
