Chapter 190
Straightening her back, Isabella remained on her knees and bowed her head,
speaking in a slow, peaceful tone, “I apologize for my earlier irrational
behavior.”
Seth tapped his fingers on his knee and confronted her directly, “You only
decided to apologize after careful consideration and realizing that you can’t
offend me, right?”
Isabella didn’t deny it, nodding. “You’re the only one in the entire city who can
save me.”
Snorting, he smirked. “You’ve misunderstood. I have no intention of saving
you.”
Raising her head, she wiped away the tears in her eyes with a determined
gaze. “As a businessman, your first concern is profit. When you judge a
91%
person, I believe you don’t only consider whether she is good enough to be
useful only in bed.” She was straightforward and didn’t even spare herself
from the insult, intriguing his curiosity. He cast her a glance, and she

continued, “I’ve been working by your side for five years, and you know better
than anyone else about my abilities.”
With her head held high, she met his gaze with a fire burning in her eyes. “Am
I only good enough to be a mistress?”
He was silent as he recalled her achievements in the past five years. Without
even thinking in detail, he knew exactly how much she had accomplished.
However, because of their relationship, he always prioritized private matters
over work, easily overlooking her capabilities.
“So, what if you’re a little more capable?” Looking away, he put on an
indifferent face with no intention of giving in.

Silently, she exhaled and repeated every word from the script she had
prepared earlier. “Shaffer Group hasn’t achieved anything in the car
manufacturing business and has only been involved in reselling, which is not
noteworthy. I saw your ten-year plan when you took this position, and it
includes car manufacturing. If you start from scratch, it will require a
significant amount of manpower and resources. That is not the best path to
take.”
Narrowing his eyes, he didn’t seem interested in her words and said calmly,
“So, what do you want?”
“An opportunity is right in front of you. As long as Shaffer Group can acquire it,
you can immediately have your own achievement in car manufacturing,” she
said.
Seth’s eyes turned cold, and he chuckled. “You mean Nemotors?”
Nodding, Isabella felt more confident when she saw him chuckling and
continued, “I have a voice recording of Nemotors’ misconduct. Once it’s
released, regardless of the truth behind it, the shares of Nemotors will
undoubtedly plummet. All you have to do is give it a small push, and
acquiring Nemotors will be a piece of cake.”
