Chapter 182
After dismissing Gordon’s spection, Isabe found herself engulfed in a
whirlwind of conflicting thoughts upon returning home.
After all, a woman can always dream. Despite developing a tough character
while being around Seth, there was still a hint of fantasy lingering deep within
her.
Furthermore, the Shaffer Group’s business had no connection to the
Dunkstein Family. There was no reason for Seth to attend Old Mrs. Dunkstein’s
banquet. Combined with his behavior at the event, it was hard not to
overthink the situation.
As she finished showering, these thoughts consumed her mind as she
poured herself a small ss of wine and leaned against the kitchen counter,
lost in contemtion.
Just then, Natasha called to inquire about Molly’s situation.
Isabe provided all the details and set aside unnecessary thoughts as she
discussed with Natasha the next steps to take.
After listening, Natasha said, “The value of this information is worth millions.
Have you decided who to pass it on to?”
Isabe sat upright, staring at the wine in front of her. She picked up the ss
and downed it in one go.
After exhaling a breath with a hint of alcohol, she replied, “Seth.”
Natasha remained silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly and teasingly
Isabe sensed the teasing in her words and calmly exined, “I don’t have
any special feelings for him. I just don’t have the courage to approach people
I don’t know well.”
“No matter who handles this, it’s like attempting the impossible. Honestly, only
Seth gives me a sense of certainty in the entire Imperia. He has boundaries.”
Natasha eximed, “He kept you waiting for five years, yet you still think he’s
a person with good qualities!”
“If we set aside his personal life and emotions, he is undoubtedly a good
business partner,” Isabe impartially stated.
Natasha clicked her tongue. “It’s up to you. Just make sure you’re clear in your
mind and don’t mix things up. Otherwise, you might end up losing both
people and wealth.”
Isabe understood what Natasha meant. She openly shared her thoughts,
saying, “Don’t worry. I have it under control.”
The music was loud on Natasha’s end, indicating she was still at a bar.
Isabe advised her to drink less before ending the call.
After setting her phone aside, the house fell silent once again.
Unable to sleep, Isabe poured herself several more drinks and stumbled
upstairs in a daze.
She fell into a drowsy sleep. She had initially nned to stay home and avoid
going anywhere, but Alex’s call came just before 9.00 PM.
Isabe forcefully kicked her nket while grimacing as she answered the
call.
“Isabe,e to the office quickly. Something interesting is happening.”

Isabe felt groggy and uninterested in any drama.
Alex added, “The officials havee to investigate. They’ve taken Abigail
away and are currently interrogating Jonas in his office.”
Isabe woke up abruptly and opened her eyes wide. In a hoarse voice, she
asked, “Are they primarily investigating Jonas or Abigail?”
If it was only Abigail, it might be a follow-up to thest sales incident.
However, if it involved Jonas, it could potentially be rted to Nemotors’
matter.
Alex didn’t understand the difference between the two. She simply found it
satisfying to see those jerks suffer while providing real-time descriptions over
the phone.
Isabe switched to speakerphone and got up to freshen up.
In less than half an hour, she swiftly hailed a cab and headed straight to the
only hung up when she entered the office premises.
A sign indicating temporary closure hung on thepany’s main gate. As
Isabe pushed the door open and stepped inside, she was greeted by the
sound of people arguing.
“Jonas, please cooperate with the investigation!”
”
“Cooperate, my foot! I haven’t done anything! Why should I be investigated?!”
Jonas was clearly agitated as he adamantly refused to disclose personal
ounts or provide specific transaction information.
Isabe stood outside the ss window and joined the crowd that had
gathered to watch, but she remained silent.
Suddenly, Jonas, in a fit of rage, turned his head and coincidentally locked
eyes with Isabe.
He was furious as he grabbed the investigators and pointed at Isabe.
“Have you investigated her? Ipleted myst sales achievement together
with her. Why are you only investigating me?!”
Isabe remained expressionless and stayed silent.
Alex stood beside Isabe and clicked her tongue. “You’re somewhat lucky.
The higher-ups have suspended you, and all sales achievements have been
credited back to Jonas. It means your sales achievements have nothing to
do with him.”
Isabe curled her lips slightly and felt relieved. “It seems luck is on my side.”
After saying that, she turned around, walked away from the crowd, and
headed towards the parking lot.
Alex followed her out and chuckled. “How do you stay so updated? How did
you know the person issuing license tes was here?”
Isabe paused, “What?”
Alex shrugged. “You received a rather unique te number. Mr. Wace felt a
bit guilty and arranged it in advance for you, and the person came over to
handle it.”
Isabe was somewhat surprised as she quickened her pace towards the
parking lot.
In the parking lot, the red Cayenne now had a license te, and the
distinctive te number was extremely eye-catching.
Isabe stood in front of the car and sighed with mixed emotions. “If I take
this car on the road, it will definitely turn heads. There’s no doubt about that.”
