Chapter 161
Isabella paid no attention to the stares she was receiving. Upon receiving the
email, she immediately began packing her belongings. Her expression was
blank, making it impossible to gauge her emotions.
“This is unfair, Isabella. I will inform them and ensure you receive the credit
you deserve,” Jonas insisted. He pretended to be outraged and even tried to
stop Isabella from packing.
Isabella evaded him and let out a sigh. “You’re too kind, Mr. Stokes. It’s evident
to everyone that I couldn’t have possibly accepted that deal.”
Jonas choked on his words, growing increasingly panicked. The more he
thought about it, the more terrified he became. If headquarters investigated
further, they might uncover some unsavory details about him. If his crimes

were exposed, it would be the end for him.

Isabella noticed Jonas’ reaction and sensed that something bigger was at
play. She wondered if she should involve herself in this mess. However,
another commotion occurred outside. The door opened, and Keira poked her
head in. “Isabella, the car you ordered has arrived. It’s in the parking lot.”
Isabella paused for a moment, recalling the car. “Ghost?”
“Yes, you purchased it yourself. Don’t tell me you forgot,” Keira replied.
Isabella’s heart started racing. She pushed Jonas aside, discarded her
belongings, and went out with Keira. This was an opportunity to ease the
tension between her and Seth. The person who delivered the car was waiting
outside. After Isabella signed the necessary paperwork, the individual
instructed their employees to open the container.

The entire office gathered to witness the spectacle, congratulating Isabella. It
was a stark contrast to their earlier behavior. Isabella paid no attention to
them. Instead, she focused on the truck before her. The container’s shutter
slowly opened, revealing a black supercar, resembling an ancient beast
trapped in a magical prison. Even though it sat quietly inside, it exuded
power.
Isabella licked her lips, feeling envious of Seth.
Keira suddenly approached and whispered, “That’s a nice car. It’s not for
yourself, is it?”
Isabella had noticed Keira acting strangely lately, so she didn’t respond as
Simon was likely busy, as his phone was always occupied. With trepidation,
Isabella continued calling until the call finally connected.
“Hello?” Simon greeted warmly, just as he always did.
Isabella held her phone tightly, feeling nervous. “Mr. Gates? It’s me, Isabella.”
Simon was at a golf course and hadn’t expected Isabella’s call. He raised an
eyebrow and stopped playing. “What do you need?”

Isabella gritted her teeth and pondered for a moment. “I need your help.”

Intrigued, Simon tossed his golf club aside and excused himself. He entered
the clubhouse. “Why didn’t you ask Seth for help?”
Isabella rolled her eyes and resignedly replied, “This is about him.”
Simon’s smile turned into a grin. After hearing Isabella’s story, he agreed to
help without hesitation. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this for you.”
Isabella let out a sigh of relief. “Thank you.”
Simon put his hand in his pocket and headed to the waiting room.
Nonchalantly, he said, “Don’t thank me. I might need to call in this favor
someday.”
