Chapter 115
Isabella was led into a big private estate. The estate’s architectural style
leaned more toward Jesundian, which was something Seth never liked.
“Please wait here.”
She was led into a study room occupied only by one tiny lamp and many
Jesundian trinkets.
As she sat on the tatami mat, her mind raced. How she wished there was
someone she could question, but the people had locked the door behind
them as they walked out. She was not even given the chance to speak to
them.
When she looked out of the window, she saw bodyguards stationed
everywhere. The entire place was tightly guarded.
At that moment, Isabella’s phone rang. It was a call from Natasha.
She snapped out of her thoughts and hurriedly answered it.
“What happened, Bella?”
Thus, Isabella recounted everything that had happened before urging
Natasha to investigate the owner of the house so that she could properly
address the issue.
Natasha immediately worked on it after telling Isabella not to worry and to

Even through the dark lenses of her sunglasses, she could sense the eerie
and frosty look in his eyes. She could not help but take a step backward.
As Seth stood at the doorway and looked into the room at Isabella, a vicious
