Chapter 16
Isabella was perched on the edge of the couch, her
head spinning and her body in disarray. She felt like
she was falling apart. A faint, cool scent enveloped
her–Seth’s preferred cologne. It used to be alluring,
but now it was overwhelming.
“Miss Symons, Kate has a quick temper. Since I
offended you today, let me offer you a toast. hope
you can forgive her.” Harold’s tone was gentle as he
reached for a bottle of wine to pour himself a drink.
However, Caitlin interjected angrily, “What are you
apologizing for? It’s not your fault.”

“If it’s not his fault, is it your fault then?” With
Natasha in his arms, Dariel looked at Caitlin and
spoke as though he were joking.
Caitlin opened her mouth to retort but met Seth’s
stern gaze. She shuddered and found herself
unable to speak. In the eyes of her peers, Seth was
like a tyrant from Hell. No one dared to provoke him
unless they were seeking death.
“There’s no need for apologies.” Isabella got up

“Apologies for the disturbance, everyone. I’ll punish

Natasha was afraid she might collapse and
wanted to accompany her, but Isabella insisted on going alone.
“Alright, go ahead. Wait for me in the room, and
we’ll leave together,” Natasha said.
Isabella got the access code and left the room.
Just as she closed the door, she overheard Dariel’s
teasing comments.
