Isabella thought it was Selena, but it turned out to be Ollie. “You didn’t go with
him?”
Politely, Ollie answered, “He was worried Nicolas and Selena wouldn’t be able
to deal with any emergencies alone, so he left me here and took Nicolas with
him.”
Isabella nodded. That was a safer way of doing this. She disagreed with Seth
taking two newbies with him. Even Ellie and Fiona were better than them by a
mile. “Do you need anything from me?”
Olli nodded. “Before he left, he asked me to keep a cardiologist on call. I got
two, but they aren’t exactly famous experts.”

Isabella knew what she had to do. She moved away and let Ollie come in.
Ollie took a step back, however. It seemed like he was avoiding her. “It’s
2/9
alright. I just want to bring this up with you and see if you have any solutions.”
Tch. Even his employees are weird. Guess the weirdo’s habits rubbed off on
this guy, Isabella didn’t show her annoyance. She agreed and then had
nothing else to say.
Ollie was only here to tell her that information. He left right away, leaving
Isabella to her own devices.
In the end, she closed the door and rolled her eyes, but she was coming up
with a solution in her head. There was a computer in her room. While she
waited for Jonas to show up, she searched for the number of a cardiologist
named Shawn Sheffield.
Chapter 52 Seth in Trouble
Shawn came back from his study overseas a few years ago, and she
attended a conference as the Shaffer Group’s representative. He left an
impression on her, but they shared no connection otherwise.
Seth’s rivals this time were different. The Larsons and Hanks alone were

established businessmen in Imperia. They weren’t as powerful as the
Shaffers, who had connections with the military, but with their roots deeply
established in the world of business, it was no guarantee that Seth would win
this.
Even if Jonathan was fine all the way through, it would leave a better
impression if they could get Shawn to check on him. Isabella quickly
searched for Shawn’s number, but then her phone kept vibrating. It was
Jonas. She sneered and took the call. “Yes, Mr. Stokes?”
She could hear Jonas walking around. “Which room are you in?” he asked.

Isabella said a random number and told him, “Remember to go through the
car park. I’ll be waiting at the elevator there.”
Jonas kept saying he would do it. The excitement in his voice was palpable.

Isabella didn’t hang up. She slowly moved to the floor-to-ceiling windows
and opened up the curtain a little. She was on the sixth floor, and from where
she stood, she could see the stretch of the road leading into the car park.
Jonas was still yammering and harassing her. Isabella picked up the plate of
strawberries on the table and started eating, the look on her face icy. She
talked to Jonas from time to time, pretending she was in a daze?
“Don’t you worry, Isabella. I’ll give you the best things this world has to offer.”
Jonas was about to speak further, but then Isabella heard a shout. She stood
