‘Isabella, you never cease to amaze!’
While Isabella gazed outside, she received a text message from Jonas on her Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
phone, leaving her puzzled.
Not wanting her attention diverted, Gordon forcefully crunched the candy in
his mouth. “What are you looking at?”
She pocketed her phone, shook her head, and replied, “Nothing. Just a
message from work.”
Just as she finished speaking, the noise outside grew louder, and the distinct
voice of a female salesperson reached her ears.
“It’s Seth Shaffer!”
Shocked, Isabella raised her head and looked towards the entrance in
disbelief.
However, her view was blocked by too many people, preventing her from

catching a glimpse of the scene at the door. She could only hear the lively
discussions around her.
Seeing the change in her expression, Gordon frowned. “Did you invite Seth
too?”
Isabella was at a loss for words. “I must be insane to invite him!”
Before she could finish, Alex appeared out of nowhere and playfully stuck her
tongue out at Isabella.
“Isabella, I’m impressed that you managed to invite Seth.”
Isabella remained silent.
“Hmph!” Meanwhile, Gordon wasn’t pleased.
She couldn’t explain herself and felt overwhelmed. She also hadn’t settled the
score with Seth yet. He might have come to bring her back to sign the
contract.
“It’s crowded in here, Shall we leave through the back door and get some

fresh air?” Isabella suggested to Gordon, trying to please him.
Gordon wasn’t eager to meet Seth in the first place, and hearing her sincere
suggestion brightened his mood. “Sure.” He casually shrugged.
Isabella quickly turned around and walked ahead, leading the way.
“There are many motorcycles outside, and I think they look cooler than cars.”
Trying to lighten the atmosphere, she hoped not to offend Gordon. Otherwise,
she would be truly surrounded.
Gordon was into motorcycles, so his mood instantly lifted. “Get on. I’ll take you
for a ride.”
Isabella couldn’t be more pleased. He was the distinguished guest of the day.
Following him outside would earn her the most appropriate response.
“Sure. There’s also a race track nearby,” she suggested.
Both of them quickly agreed upon the idea. Coincidentally, there was no
glaring presence of people like Seth and Christopher, and no one else was

observing the motorcycle area, so the atmosphere would be harmonious.
Gordon tried a Harley, and its thunderous roar surpassed that of sports cars,
creating an exhilarating feeling. After ruffling his hair, he gracefully tossed a
helmet to Isabella. “Get on!”
Taking hold of the helmet, Isabella fixed her hair and put it on before walking
up to Gordon. “Don’t take the south gate. It’s crowded!” she reminded him
loudly.
In fact, the south gate was spacious, and parking was convenient. However,
Isabella assumed that Seth’s car must be parked at the south gate, so she
didn’t want to stir up unnecessary trouble.
In the front seat of the motorcycle, Gordon, wearing a helmet and unable to
hear clearly, only vaguely caught the words ‘south gate.’
“Got it!”
Feeling relieved, Isabella hugged Gordon’s waist, excited about leaving the
danger zone.

The roar of the Harley motorcycle echoed as it circled the exhibition ground
before slowly heading towards the exit.
Wearing a helmet, Isabella couldn’t see the direction clearly, but she had no
doubts that Gordon would go the right way. Riding pillion, she felt reassured.
As they headed towards the south gate, Gordon noticed there were indeed
few cars around, so he gradually increased.his speed.
Suddenly, a black car rushed out from the corner.
Gordon slammed on the brakes, narrowly avoiding an accident.
Sitting in the back, Isabella clearly felt the motorcycle shake, so she
instinctively put both feet on the ground. Then, she pushed the visor upward.
“What happened?”
Seated behind him, she couldn’t see the front, so she appeared confused.
Gordon was seated in front of her, facing the black car head-on. His gaze
instantly darkened,
Isabella, sensing that something was wrong, forcefully removed her helmet.
“What’s wro-“.
Before she could finish speaking, the entire scene stunned her.
At the south gate, a row of luxurious cars, all belonging to influential figures
who came to visit Seth, blocked their way.
The crowd that surged out from the venue also gathered in this area, making
the previously open space almost impassable.
In front of Gordon and her was a black Lincoln limousine with a familiar
license plate number.
Isabella gulped as her gaze gradually shifted and finally fixed on the back
seat of the Lincoln.
Just then, Jonas ran out of the venue with a swollen face, trying to approach
and open the door. However, before he could even touch the door handle,
the bodyguards pushed him to the side.
When the door opened, a lady in high heels stepped out.
Isabella was slightly stunned because she was caught off guard by the
person who came out. She even started doubting whether she had
remembered the license plate number correctly.
