“So, it’s really needles…” Isabella examined the few needles lodged in her
knee, her mind racing. In an instant, she mentally listed everyone who might
have a motive for this.
Seth’s expression was grave. He looked up and glanced at her. “You seem to
attract unwanted attention. It appears that there are people everywhere who
want you dead.” He reflected, Her car was going so fast just now. A
momentary distraction, a slight slip of the steering wheel, could have been
life-threatening.
Upon hearing this, fear instantly washed over her, and her hands, resting on
the rock, clenched into fists. Alex had given her this suit, but she had a feeling
that Alex wasn’t the culprit. With many people in the company harboring
envy, the culprit could be anyone.
Seth stood up, his hand on his belt. He quickly made a decision, saying, “Let’s
go to the hospital.”
The grid girl, who had been silent, stepped forward and said softly, “I’ve

pointing emphatically at her leg. “This is from a car crash!”
He was momentarily taken aback. “But your pants-”
She was at a loss for words. “Mr. Shaffer was just checking on me.”
“That’s nonsense! Who would check on people like this?” Gordon remained
stubborn.
Seth snorted, his gaze full of disdain as he jeered, “You’re quite the player in
your daily life, aren’t you?”
Gordon was momentarily speechless. Seth had hit the nail on the head; he
