Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 215

Isabella glanced at him, but still sat down and lightly said, "I won't explain for the time being."

Anyway, her mother wished her to resign and stayed at home.

"When do you want to go back to the company?" Christian took a spoon and placed it in the bowl in front of her.

There were too many loopholes in her business. If the company wanted to investigate, it wouldn't even take two days before she could go back to her post. However, the final result would depend on how high the company thought of her.

Isabella was silent as she lowered her head and sipped the soup. She did not look at him with lowered eyes.

After this incident, she had already been pushed into a corner. She could guess who the person behind this was and she definitely wouldn't let her off so easily. After this incident, she believed that the news of her pregnancy would soon spread.

Even if Mr. Smith wanted to keep her, the headquarters would make a decision. If he were to resign, it would be difficult for her to find a suitable job in a short period.

In her current situation, she absolutely could not stay at home and did nothing. 

After a long while, Isabella raised his head, looked at the man, and said calmly, "I will return to the company in the shortest time possible. However, I will take care of these matters myself, there's no need for you to interfere."

Christian's sword—like eyebrows slowly furrowed, but it was not because of her attitude, as he stated in a low and calm voice, "Once the rumors are settled, you can use this opportunity to take a vacation at home, and return when the time is right, to save yourself a lot of trouble. You know very well that when you go back this time, there will be even more things waiting for you. If I don't interfere, would you have the energy to do so?"

If someone didn't want her to live in the company, the company would just turn a blind eye. If things got out of hand, everyone would be annoyed, and it would look bad no matter how badly they were cut. He could even imagine what would happen to her.

She was not the type of woman who easily showed weakness. Even if she had to damage herself, she would still injure her enemies first.

Isabella quietly ate a few mouthfuls and did not say a word.

She was just conflicted about what kind of attitude she should use to respond to his concern, whether she should comfort him or continue to be sharp.

After a long period of silence, she lowered her head to eat and hide the emotions in her eyes. Without looking at him, she still replied, "Even if I'm at home, what's coming will always come. It's going to be trouble for me sooner or later."

She paused for a moment, and then smiled, "However, if we find the culprit this time, no matter what I do, I hope that you will not stop me, Mr. Miller."

She called him Mr. Miller and became serious.

Christian frowned, he took out a piece of paper from the box, and used his hand to wipe the grease off her mouth, then smiled, "You think the culprit is Lexie Perez?"

Isabella's ears felt slightly hot, and she embarrassingly brushed his hand away and casually wiped it with a piece of paper, then said honestly, "I can only think of her, and there are many places that point to her."

However, she felt that it was necessary to tell him about his relationship with Lexie.

"Don't worry about me, I only let her stay in Polygon Group because of her father." Regardless of the reason for his work, he would never tolerate an existence that would only cause trouble.

Isabella curled her lips, "It's enough for her to have her father's face. If it wasn't for me being the first one to go in, you probably would have married her straight away in her father's face."

The man's eyes held a smile, but he didn't evade at all, "You're right. At that time the company was in a crisis, I was only interested in my work, and I was forced by my father to get married. I don't care who I married at the very beginning." 

Fortunately, it was her.

There was no pretense in his words, but his honesty still made Isabella a little sour in his heart. No wonder he said the truth that hurt the most.
