A few days later, Isabella was released from the detention center. 

“Behave yourself from now on. If you try to cause disturbances again, you will be detained for longer,” said the policeman. 

Isabella’s face suddenly darkened. 

The experience in the detention center was simply a nightmare for her. 

In the past few days, she had thought about the whole thing like crazy. 

At first, she believed that she had made a little difference, which caused some changes in 

this life. 

But she soon found that something was wrong. Why did Ben still manage to buy the land that was going to be developed although it was not the land selected by the Bureau of Land Management in the last life? 

A thought flashed across her mind. 

Could it be that Ben had played a dirty trick on her? 

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but tremble with fear. 

No one knew better than her how formidable Ben was. 

If he really started to deal with her, she would have no chance to survive in Coraland. 

“It’s impossible,” Isabella comforted herself in a low voice, thinking that it had to be a 

coincidence. 

She managed to adjust her mood and decided to forget this experience at the police station and move on. 

After leaving the police station, she booked a flight and returned to Anaville. 

But as soon as she got off the plane, she was stopped by several burly men. Mr. Lynn walked up to her and said blankly, “Miss Smith, how have you been?” Isabella was shocked, but she feigned composure and asked, “Mr. Lynn, what are you

doing?” 

Mr. Lynn looked at her with a smile and said, “Miss Smith, I just wanted to ask you when you’re going to pay back the 6 million dollars you borrowed from me.” 

“A small error occurred when I carried out my plan, which makes me unable to pay back the money for the time being,” said Isabella. 

“Is that so?” Mr. Lynn asked with a sneer, “Miss Smith, are you going to repudiate your debt?” 

Hearing his words, the burly men took a step forward in unison. 

Isabella, whose face darkened, said through clenched teeth, “Give me a grace period of one month. I will definitely return the money to you then.” 

Mr. Lynn raised his eyebrows without giving an affirmative or negative answer. 

“You don’t trust me even though I’m from the Smith family?” Isabella continued through clenched teeth, “Besides, I didn’t take the 6 million dollars for nothing. I exchanged it for information. What do you think Ben would think if I told him that you tried to find Susan’s weakness?” 

Mr. Lynn frowned and looked at her coldly. 

Isabella, who had calmed down, said, “I’m not going to repudiate my debt, and I just need one month’s grace.” 

Mr. Lynn said slowly after gazing at her for a long while, “Well, I’ll give you one month. If you fail to pay back the 6 million dollars in a month, I’ll show you who’s the boss in this city. Although you’re from the Smith family, you don’t have a single relative or friend here. If anything untoward should happen to you, it will be even beyond the Lynn family’s ability to help you, won’t it?” 

He was threatening her. 

Isabella’s heart skipped a beat. 

She had believed that she, who lived her life again, had everything under her control. 

However, it wasn’t as easy as she had imagined to win Ben’s heart and make use of Mr. Lynn. 

Chapter 149 

Isabella was at a loss at the moment. 

What was the point of living her life again? 

After Mr. Lynn left with his men, Isabella left the airport in a daze. 

At present, she only had less than 400 thousand dollars. How could she achieve something with such a small amount of money that was even not enough to run her start- up company? 

She took a deep breath, thinking that if she couldn’t afford to run her company, she would shut it down for the time being and reopen it when she got enough funds. 

As she thought, she went all the way back to her company. 

As soon as she got there, someone greeted her enthusiastically. 

“Miss Smith, how are you?” Mr. Witt asked with a smile. 

“Who are you?” Isabella asked, looking impatient. “Get lost. Leave me alone.” 

As a famous director, Mr. Witt had not been treated like this in a long time, but he still maintained his bright smile. Because Susan had promised him that if he could convince Miss Smith to invest in his movie, she would invest the 60 million dollars he needed in her 

name. 

Mr. Witt was willing to do all he could for his dream. 

“Miss Smith, here’s the thing. I would like to present you a movie project and see if you want to invest in it,” Mr. Witt asked. 

“What are you talking about? Get lost,” Isabella said, getting more agitated. 

“Miss Smith, please read the script. It’s about…” Mr. Witt continued. 

“I told you to get lost!” Isabella interrupted him in a shrill voice and pushed him away. 

Stunned for a moment, Mr. Witt sighed, saying, “Forget it. I think Love in Bitter Winter can only be my dream.” 

Dejected, he turned around and was about to leave. 

Love in Bitter Winter! 

Chapter 149 

The name hit Isabella like a bolt out of the blue. 

She knew this movie. 

She quickly turned around and grabbed Mr. Witt’s hand, asking, “Sir, is Love in Bitter Winter the name of your story?” 

Mr. Witt answered after being stunned for a moment, “Yes.” 

“Can you give me a brief synopsis of the story?” Isabella asked, her eyes lighting up. 

Although Mr. Witt had no idea why Isabella’s attitude suddenly changed, he cheered up and gave a brief synopsis of the story. 

As Isabella listened, she got increasingly excited with a sparkle in her eyes. 

Sure enough, she was still favored by fortune. 

Just after she missed an opportunity to make money, she got another one. 

This movie was definitely the one that had been a blockbuster in the last life. 

It had not only won praise from everyone but also set a new box office record for art 

movies. 

With an investment of 60 million dollars, it had earned more than a billion dollars around 

the world. 

Even when the movie was shown again five years later, it earned 200 million dollars. 

In the last life, Susan, who had invested in the movie all by herself, had made a decent profit and had even been highly praised as a discerning investor as good as Ben. 

But in this life, Isabella got the opportunity! 

At the thought of this, Isabella got excited, quickly saying, “Mr. Witt, I’ll invest in your 

movie.” 

With eyes lighting up, Mr. Witt asked, “How much are you going to invest?” 

Isabella, whose face froze, replied, “Uh, I can’t afford to make an investment for the time being. But if you give me a year, I will definitely earn 60 million dollars and invest in your movie.” 

Chapter 149 

Mr. Witt was at a loss for words. 

It sounded unreliable. 

“I mean it. You must believe me,” Isabella said anxiously. Once she made this deal, she could directly make more than 10 times the profit without much effort. 

She was definitely unwilling to miss this opportunity. 

“Let me think about it,” Mr. Witt reluctantly replied. 

However, Isabella did not let Mr. Witt leave until she got his contact information. 

Isabella was not that anxious. 

As far as she remembered, in the last life, Mr. Witt did not begin to shoot this movie until 

next year. 

The main reason seemed to be that Susan was afraid of making an unsuccessful investment, so she did not invest Ben’s money. Instead, she created a program that got a substantial amount of users and invested in and started the project after getting a substantial reward. 

Therefore, as long as she earned 60 million dollars earlier than Susan, she would have the chance to invest in the movie before Susan did. 

In the evening, Isabella sent a message to Mr. Witt, asking him to wait for her investment. 

Mr. Witt replied soon after. 

Isabella hurriedly read the message and was dumbfounded. 

The message said: [Miss Smith, I’m sorry, but someone has invested all the 60 million dollars this project needs, so I’m afraid I can’t cooperate with you.] 

Isabella trembled in shock, typing a message slowly. [Is the investor Susan?] 

Mr. Witt replied in astonishment, [Miss Smith, how did you know?] 

In an instant, Isabella collapsed weakly. 

Why? Why did Susan decide to invest in the movie earlier than she was supposed to?

Why was the situation different from that in the last life? 

Nothing changed except for Mr. Witt’s visit. 

No, Mr. Witt’s visit…
