Chapter 31
Having coaxed Gordon into accepting the
invitation, Isabella remained on high alert to avoid
offending Simon and his group even more.
The waitstaff led her and Gordon upstairs and
stopped before the largest private room.

With one hand in his pocket, Gordon showed no
intention of knocking, so Isabella knocked. When no
one answered, she pushed open the door herself.
Instantly, the room fell silent, and everyone turned
their attention to the doorway. Isabella
immediately spotted Seth sitting in the center of
the couch. He had changed into a dark blue shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his forearms. At the

moment, he had his arm around Selena’s waist,
and they were engrossed in conversation, which

“Come on in. You’re just in time. Another round is
about to start.” Simon got up from the couch and
proactively greeted Isabella and Gordon. He was a
typical Lawdom man, one of those known for being

Isabella retracted her gaze from Seth and turned to

Somewhat polite, Gordon greeted Simon before
pulling Isabella to sit down.
There were a total of seven people inside the room.

came in.”
Isabella’s expression was indifferent as she sat
properly, but her tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

“You’re quite good–looking. Is it a crime to look at
you?”
“Is that so?” Dariel sat down beside Seth, placing a
hand on Seth’s shoulder and feigning surprise. “All
these years, no one has ever praised me for being
good–looking when Seth is around.”
Seth was indifferent as he rudely threw away
Dariel’s arm while coldly rebuking, “She’s blind. If
you believe her words, then you’re stupid.”

“You’re too overbearing. Are you saying everyone
else can only praise you?” Dariel repeatedly clicked
his tongue, seemingly very upset.
“Alright already. Since our guests have arrived, let’s
