Chapter 224
Isabe felt her maternal instincts overwhelming her, causing her to be moved by the
sight of Seth eating ravioli.
“Mr. Shaffer, rest assured that I will strive to lead Nemotors to greater heights,” Isabe
assured Seth with determination, feeling motivated in the middle of the meal.
Seth nced at her as if she were a fool, not bothering to respond.

Not receiving a response, Isabe awkwardly rubbed her nose and continued eating as
if nothing had happened.
She found the ravioli delicious, but Seth merely ate a few pieces, seemingly not
enjoying it.
“Is it not good?” Isabe asked.
Seth licked his lips and replied, “I’m full.”
Isabe noticed that he didn’t reach for the napkins beside him. After a moment of
Chapter 224 Ambushed
thought, she took a handkerchief from her bag and handed it to him.
Seth’s gaze fell on the handkerchief, but he didn’t take it immediately.
He wasn’t a pretentious person, and it wasn’t his habit to use handkerchiefs. However,
the napkins in the restaurant were not up to his usual standards, so he couldn’t bring
himself to use them.
“It’s clean and unused,” Isabe assured him.
She wasn’t one to use handkerchiefs often, either. The one in her bag was prepared by
Celine, and she didn’t expect it toe in handy.
Seth took the handkerchief and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth.
Isabe watched him and reached out to take it back after he was done.
Instead of returning the handkerchief to her, he folded it and put it in his suit pocket
before urging her impatiently, “Hurry up and eat.”
Isabe responded with an “Oh” and quickly lowered her head, stuffing food into her

mouth.
While she ate her food ravenously, as if she was going to swallow the bowl as well, Seth
doubted they were eating the same thing. How could she find it so delicious?
“Excuse me, can you pack some ravioli for me?”
“Sure thing!”
Seth muttered, “Glutton.”
His mutter didn’t escape Isabe’s ears, so she secretly rolled her eyes while stuffing
food into her mouth.
While the two of them sat in silence, the sound of the restaurant owner making a phone
call came from the kitchen. It sounded like a takeaway order.
After a while, the restaurant owner came out, looking embarrassed. “I’m sorry. We
identally epted a takeaway order. The customer will pick up the food, so do you
think…”
Chapter 224 Ambushed
Seth ignored her.
ncing at Seth’s expression, Isabe instantly had an idea. “It’s alright. Let that
customere in. We’re finishing our meal.”
The restaurant owner breathed a sigh of relief, and with a smiley face, she hurriedly
praised the couple for their good looks.
Isabe felt awkward and didn’t say much since exining would only make it seem
like she was covering something up.
As soon as the restaurant owner left, Seth spoke to her.
“I think you’re quite scheming.”
Isabe was speechless at that.
Seth sat up straight, his gaze scanning her from top to bottom as if he had seen
through her. “You didn’t exin what our rtionship was just now. I’m sure the
restaurant owner will spill our rtionship to the media as soon as we leave.”
Chapter 224 Ambushed
He even snorted and sounded very certain, his eyes filled with wariness toward
Isabe.
Seeing that look on his face, Isabe was speechless and burst outughing on the
spot.
“Mr. Shaffer, you really do… have wild imaginations.”
Isabe couldn’t tell whether he was joking with her or if he really thought so. He looked
at her with an expression as if he had seen through her and suddenly stopped urging
her to eat, instead adopting a leisurely posture.
Isabeined inwardly but had to continue putting on a facade. It was mentally
draining.
As the two were locked in a silent standoff, there was a noise from outside. A young
man wearing a cap entered the restaurant.
Jordan quickly got up to follow him, but Isabe, with her sharp eyes, reminded him,
“It’s okay. Let him in.”
Chapter 224 Ambushed
The man didn’t look up until Jordan let go of him. Then, he proceeded to enter the
restaurant.
Isabe didn’t pay him any attention and continued eating, nning to pack some food
home in case she got hungry at night.
Seth stared at the woman across from him, unable to understand how she could eat so
much. He was about to make a sarcasticment.
No one noticed that the young man in the cap had entered the kitchen, and soon, the
voice of the restaurant owner sounded. “Do you need so much soup?”
Still, no one paid any attention.
Seth was looking at the top of Isabe’s head, about to make a sarcasticment.
“Haven’t you had enough food? When are you going to stop eating?”
Isabe felt wronged. “I haven’t even finished a te of ravioli yet.”
“You’ve already eaten…”

Halfway through his sentence, Seth vaguely felt someone looking at him from across
the table. When he looked up, the person immediately quickened his pace.
It happened so suddenly that Isabe didn’t manage to catch it at all.
Seth, who was initially sitting across from her, suddenly stood up and yanked her off her
seat.
“Go to hell!” It was a roar that sounded like it came from the depths of his throat.
“Mr. Shaffer!”
Soon came the sound of tables falling, and chaos ensued in their surroundings.
When Isabe opened her eyes, she saw the man in the cap hurling two boxes of
scalding liquid in their direction. She widened her eyes but had no time to dodge, even
after getting yanked by Seth. However, the liquid wasing straight at her.
At the critical moment, Seth turned around, using half of his body to block her line of
sight.
Isabe heard a muffed grunt, followed by themotion of bodyguards rushing in
and the curses of the man being pinned to the ground
Everything happened so fast, leaving her with no time to think
