Chapter 311 The Atmosphere Turns Sour Again
Chapter 311
The day passed quickly. Isabella kept herself occupied throughout the day, and it wasn’t
until dusk that she encountered Alice once more. Alice presented them with a jar of
pickles, adhering to the principle of reciprocity, neither owing nor taking advantage.
Just as they were about to leave, Alice suddenly asked Isabella, “Are you free
tomorrow?”
Isabella was excited and promptly replied, “Yes, I am.”
“I need to hire two people to harvest wheat,” Alice stated.
Isabella nodded without hesitation. “Don’t worry, we’ll accompany you tomorrow
morning.”
With her hands behind her back, Alice glanced at Seth, who remained well-dressed
even in the countryside, and smiled mysteriously. “Why go so far for a mere piece of

broken stone?” She seemed to sigh, then turned around and slowly walked towards her
own courtyard.
Isabella made a mental note to research some information when she got back.
However, as soon as she stepped inside, she saw Seth looking at her with a peculiar
smile, playing with her phone in his hand.
Seth remarked, “You’ve been busy all day. You must be tired.”
Isabella walked over and retrieved her phone with a smile. “It’s just socializing, all for
the sake of the company.”
The smile on Seth’s face gradually faded, and he returned his gaze to his notebook, his
expression blank. Isabella felt a bit uncertain, unable to determine if he was angry, but
he seemed somewhat upset. She sat down with her phone, thinking that Seth wouldn’t
be so petty; they were just chatting for a while.

“Patrick cares a lot about that person. If you don’t want to put your life at risk, stay away
from him,” Seth suddenly said coldly.
Isabella was taken aback, realizing he was referring to Corey. She opened her mouth,
wanting to say that they didn’t interact much.
Seth stared at the notebook screen and said indifferently, “Don’t think you’re different
from others just because you’re a bit attractive. With your intelligence, that guy can
manipulate you as easily as playing with a kitten or a puppy.”
Isabella felt uneasy hearing this, as if she was intentionally getting close to Corey.
“You’re overthinking it. I’m not acquainted with Corey,” Isabella responded.
“He wouldn’t have sent you fish if you weren’t acquainted.” Seth looked up.
Isabella explained, “It’s just a couple of fish.”

Isabella was speechless. She wanted to explain the situation at the time; it wasn’t easy
to refuse Corey. But as the words reached her lips, she felt that an explanation was
unnecessary. She lowered her head, feeling a bit sulky. “I will buy a gift to give back to
him.”
“If you continue with this, you two will become acquainted,” Seth continued, not
seeming to want to drop the subject, and there was a hint of mockery in his tone.
Isabella grew annoyed. Why couldn’t this man understand? She closed her notebook
with a snap and stood in front of Seth. Seth asked, “Are you angry?”
Isabella replied, “It’s getting dark; I need to cook!”
Seth was speechless.
