Chapter 440 The Inevitable Blind Date
Isabella visited Natasha with a heavy heart, but her burden only grew heavier when she
left the hospital.
During these unprecedented times, she couldn’t go to the office and had to return to
the villa.
As expected, Ronald made a ruthless move, aggressively targeting the Shaffer Group
and the Wells’ businesses.
Perhaps he only intended to issue a warning, but he didn’t anticipate Dariel acting like a
mad dog, mobilizing all his assets.
The Larson Family was already struggling to deal with the Shaffer Group, and with
Dariel’s allies joining in, they were caught off guard.
For an entire week, Imperia, the financial magazine, was filled with news of this

inexplicable event.
The Larson Family’s stocks plummeted, and in the end, Ronald paid a late-night visit to
Seth.
Seth refused to see him, leaving Ronald out in the cold.
Isabella stood upstairs, listening to Jordan’s report.
“Ronald went to see Mr. Shaffer.”
Pfft! Turning to the older generation when he can’t get the upper hand, huh?
Isabella sneered before hearing Seth’s laugh. “That’s great! My old man would love
me to swallow the Larson Family.”
Indeed, if it weren’t for Dariel going crazy, the Larson Family wouldn’t have been
attacked by everyone.

Just as she was contemplating, her phone vibrated.
She tapped into it and saw a text. Joey?
‘I’m going to Imperia on a business trip tomorrow. Would you like to have dinner
together?’
Isabella frowned.
She had Joey’s number when Victoria tried to set them up, and she thought he
understood her intentions at the time.
She held her phone, unsure of how to reply.
“Why are you standing there like a statue?” Seth’s voice drifted from behind her.
Isabella was startled and quickly turned around, hiding her phone behind her back.

Seth noticed her slight movement and casually asked, “What’s up? A message from
your blind date?”
Isabella was flabbergasted!
If she didn’t know it was impossible, she would have suspected that Seth was
eavesdropping on her phone.
“No, it’s from Natasha.”
Seth snorted. He was just joking and didn’t actually think Isabella would go on a blind
date.
Isabella felt guilty and wanted to leave quickly. “Um… would you like some fruit?”
Seth gave her a glance, sensing that something was off.
Isabella took the opportunity to bypass him, saying, “I’ll go downstairs and check out
Chapter 440 The Inevitable Blind Date
the new fruits that arrived today.”
After saying that, she quickly ran downstairs.
Seth narrowed his eyes, standing in place while staring at Isabella’s retreating figure.
He recalled their conversation just now, and the corners of his mouth slowly turned
downward.
Downstairs, Isabella entered the kitchen, only to find a few common fruits. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
“There are other varieties in the cold storage,” the servant reminded her.
Isabella’s heart was racing. She didn’t want to go upstairs and see Seth, so without
thinking, she headed straight for the cold storage.
There was no one near the cold storage. She walked in very carefully, afraid of being
locked in.

After hesitating and picking out a few fruits, she was about to leave when she vaguely
saw someone at the top of the stairs.
The surrounding area was chilly, giving off a morgue-like atmosphere, and the sudden
appearance of a person upstairs was frightening.
“Who’s there?” Isabella asked.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a click, and the person closed the door.
“Do you know the password?” Isabella frowned and asked again.
The person didn’t answer her but slowly walked down.
Isabella stood in place, trying to guess the person’s identity. “Mr. Shaffer?”
“Give me your phone.” The man hadn’t even reached her yet, but he stretched out his
hand toward her.

Isabella didn’t know how to respond.
“My phone is out of battery.”
“Hmph!”
