Chapter 171
Seth stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at everyone below him. It
was evident that he had been drinking as his eyes had turned slightly red. His
lips were moist, and Isabe could see the lights above reflecting off them.
After locking eyes with Seth, she nced at Gordon, who stood beside her.
Isabe felt guilty when she noticed the disdain in Seth’s gaze. Despite
repeatedly assuring him that there was nothing between her and Gordon,
she had gotten too close to him earlier. Anyone who saw them together
would assume they were involved. Regret washed over Isabe. I shouldn’t
have let loose like that. I don’t even know if I should address this now.
“They seemed to be enjoying themselves earlier, but he doesn’t even have
the courage to fix her hair now that we’re here,” Leonard said yfully to
Jerry. Leonard sensed the tension in the air and couldn’t help stealing
nces at Isabe. Dariel chuckled before turning to Leonard with a
mischievous look. “Women look most beautiful when their hair is slightly
tousled. I wouldn’t fix her hair if I were him,” he remarked.
The men chuckled and responded to Dariel’sment. None of them

noticed the subtle interactions between Isabe and Seth. Meanwhile,
Gordon grew annoyed by the way the other men stared at Isabe. He
grabbed her hand and spoke to the men above in a cold tone. “We have
other matters to attend to. We must excuse ourselves.”
Gordon was an arrogant man who would typically drag Isabe away
without exnation. The fact that he made a statement before leaving
showed his attempt to appear respectful to the men on the stairs. “Hold on,”
Leonard stopped Gordon and maneuvered past Dariel to descend the stairs.
Isabe tensed up but smiled and nodded at Leonard. Coincidentally, the
waiter returned with the custom-made boxes. Leonard took the boxes and
selected two jellyfish before handing them to Isabe. “You like jellyfish, right?
I’ll send you two more when the new ones arrive in a few days.”
Isabe froze for a moment. She hadn’t expected Leonard to be so polite.
“There’s no need for such trouble. I was just amused by them,” she replied.

However, Leonard continued to hold out the jellyfish with a smile. He had a
gentle, well-groomed appearance that most women found attractive. Even
Isabe couldn’t help but let her guard down around him.

She reached out and took the jellyfish container from him. At that moment,
Dariel sarcastically eximed from his spot on the stairs, “Has Mr. Pole always
been so generous?”
Leonard cleared his throat and shot Dariel a re. The atmosphere became
awkward, and Isabe didn’t dare to look around. Though Seth hadn’t said a
word, his presence alone affected everyone’s mood.
“Alright, let’s go,” Gordon couldn’t contain himself any longer. He was already
annoyed with Seth, and Leonard’s actions only made him grumpier. Isabe
didn’t want to stay either; she felt suffocated. She bid farewell to Simon, gave
Leonard a polite nod, and turned to leave. Gordon swiftly grabbed Isabe’s
hand. His grip was too strong for her to break free, and she could feel the
gazes burning into her skin. It wasn’t the right time to pull away.
Once they left the jellyfish area and made sure no one followed them,
Isabe started to wrestle her way out of Gordon’s grip. “Let go of me,
Gordon.” He had calmed down slightly and was reasonable enough to
release her when she asked. They remained silent until they reached the
parking lot.

“I’ll drive you home,” Gordon said with a cold expression. Isabe didn’t want
to argue with him at that point. She worried that the men might follow them if
they stayed any longer. She still held the jellyfish in her hands, unsure of
where to put them.
“Throw them away,” Gordon ordered icily.
Isabe rolled her eyes. “You can dislike them, but what’s your problem with
these jellyfish?”
Gordon was speechless for a moment, then silently gripped the steering
wheel. When he turned to look at Isabe’s face under the dim lights, he saw
her slightly wet hair. The sexy look it had under the bright lights earlier now
appeared mysterious. Gordon felt a yearning in his chest.
He closed his eyes and tried to control his urges. He pressed down on the gas
pedal, afraid he might make a mistake if he didn’t start driving. As Isabe
hugged the box of jellyfish to her chest, she felt her phone vibrate. She took it
out and saw a friend request notification from… Leonard. Isabe was
She recognized this pattern-Shawn had done the same thing in the past.
The only difference was that Shawn had disappeared after adding her as a
friend. Leonard is Seth’s friend, so what is he trying to do? How did he find my
social media ount? Did he ask Seth?
