Chapter 37
Gordon regretted mocking Isabella the moment he
saw the look on her face. He couldn’t relent,
however, not when she was looking at him like that.
He tensed up and pretended to be brave, then
flung the door open. Crashed by the door, Isabella
staggered backward.
Gordon’s eyes flickered for a moment, but he didn’t

care about her. He then slammed the door shut.
Once he was gone, Isabella locked the door and
leaned against it weakly. She wished to vent, yet
there was nothing to vent to. She followed Gordon
because she had a goal to attain. Of course, she’d
be humiliated.

The room was empty, so there was no point staying
there. She’d be better off going back and making
some calls. She calmed down and pulled the
room’s card out before heading to the reception.
When she came to the corner, she heard a
conversation happening nearby.
“You’ve been busy lately. Get some rest and
relaxation. Here’s your room’s card, Mr. Keller.”

“Thank you, babe.”
That was familiar. Isabella stopped in her tracks
and froze up for a moment. Out of reflex, she ran
back. She knew that it was Keller without even
looking. This was a club in the outskirts. If he knew
she was here, he might come to her room in the
middle of the night and take her away.
Isabella quickly went back to her room, her chest
heaving. She leaned against the door for a long
while before she snapped out of it. She couldn’t go
around as she pleased. Once night came, she
would check out and leave quietly. Alternatively,
she would just leave the card here and escape
without checking out.

She had a plan, but night was still a long time
away, so she waited in her room. She had nothing
to eat in the morning, and she skipped lunch. Now
that she could sit and be quiet for a while, she was
overwhelmed by a sense of hunger.
Fortunately, there were water and snacks in the
room. Like a ravenous beast, she shoved everything
into her mouth. Wolfing down a pile of food made
her feel better.
Night came, and footsteps rang outside the door.
The waitstaff was asking if she wanted room
service. Isabella was on high alert. She didn’t even
open the door as she refused the offer. The wait
then went on until nine.

The night was getting quieter, and there weren’t a
lot of people in the garden either. Isabella wore her
jacket and mask, about to open the door. The
moment she touched the handle, someone
knocked on the door violently.
“Are you there, Isabella?”
Selena? Isabella frowned, but she opened the door
impatiently, and she was met with a pale Selena.
“What is it?”
