Phoebe did not answer the call. After a long while, someone called back, claiming to be Phoebe’s assistant.
“You must be Ms. Carter, right? Phoebe asked me to let you know that she probably won’t be able to work for a while.”
As if already expecting Isabella’s call, the assistant continued before Isabella could ask anything else, “Phoebe was in a car accident yesterday and needs to rest quietly right now.”
“Next time, it will be her.” The man’s sinister words echoed in her ears again, sending a chill down Isabella’s spine.
Phoebe just happened to have a car accident at this moment…
Could Xavier really be so ruthless, willing to hurt even his own mother?
Isabella called Hannah again, but the woman’s phone was still turned off.
Her heart sank as she began to imagine the wors
But she quickly dismissed the thought. Hannah was still abroad, and with the Carter family as her shield, there was no way Xavier could touch her.
Isabella looked out through the floor–to–ceiling window. Inside and outside the house, almost everyone had been sent by Xavier.
About twenty people.
Isabella dialed emergency services. After finally getting through, she immediately said she was being held against her will.
When asked for her address, Isabella quickly gave it. But after a moment of silence, someone else came on the line, “Excuse me, are you Mrs. Moore?”
“Yes.”
Although reluctant to admit it, Isabella answered truthfully.
“But we’re getting a divorce. Xavier is restricting my freedom right now—”
“Sorry, Mrs. Moore. Mr. Moore has already informed us that you’re unwell and need to rest quietly at home without going out. And to be honest, with domestic situations like this, all we can really do is notify Mr. Moore and try to mediate. You understand…”

Before the speaker could finish, Isabella hung up
She had known it would be useless.
Around here, Xavier could pretty much do as he pleased.
Making that call was probably just her going through the motions one last time.
Taking a deep breath, Isabella contacted Barry.

Meanwhile, the closed doors of Moore Group’s conference room finally opened. After everyone filed out with grim expressions, a slender figure quickly slipped inside.
“Xavier!”
Xavier was giving Jacob instructions when the interruption instantly cooled the atmosphere around him.
Before the man could speak, Jacob immediately stepped in front of the woman.
“Ms. Allen, how did you get in here?”
Linda had managed to enter with help from a longtime employee.
Over the past two days, Xavier had not answered her calls or replied to her messages. He had even blocked her.
If she had not been desperate, she would not have resorted to such an embarrassing way to see him.
“Xavier, I know I was wrong… Can you give me one more chance? Let’s talk properly, please?”
Linda’s voice trembled with tears.
She looked exhausted, on the verge of breaking lown.
“Escort her out.”
While Jacob hesitated, Xavier issued a cold, emotionless order.
He did not even want to look at the woman a moment longer.
Jacob nodded, preparing to usher Linda out polely. “Ms. Allen, Mr. Moore is still busy. Please come with me. If you have anything to say, I can relay it for you…”
“Xavier, for Isabella’s sake, can’t you spare me just a little time?”

Linda’s words made Xavier suddenly lift his gaze to her.

“The misunderstanding between you two–it was all my fault. As long as you don’t push me away, I can explain everything!”
Secing a glimmer of hope, the woman rushed of.
Sure enough, Xavier stood up and walked toward her.
Noticing this, Jacob stopped and did not force Linda to leave.
“Xavier…”
As the man approached, Linda’s eyes welled up, but before she could continue, he cut her off with a frosty tone, “I hate threats the most.
“Does the Allen family not know, or have you forgotten? Or has the Allen family truly gotten tired of living?”
“That’s not what I meant-”
Linda panicked, but Xavier walked past her without another word.
Jacob blocked Linda’s path again. “Ms. Allen, please leave. Once Mr. Moore makes a decision, he never changes it.”
Xavier left Moore Group and headed to the parking garage.
Jacob caught up shortly after and drove Xavier to Central Hospital.
At two o’clock, Rachel and Harry would examine Noah together, and Xavier had to be there.
“How was she today?”
On the way, Xavier suddenly asked.
“Mrs. Moore seemed to be in good spirits today. She also finished picking out the household staff… though she ended up hiring all of them.”
Jacob checked the rearview mirror. The man sat back with his eyes closed, rubbing between his brows.
The night before, a major gap had been discovered in Moore Group’s funding chain- something that had never happened in all these years.
Fortunately, Xavier had reacted quickly. Before notifying the shareholders or launching an audit, he had found that internal accounts had been tampered with.
