Isabella felt as if she had been delivered a hard
slap, making her ears ring.

Seeing her hesitation, the doctor assumed she was
scared and said indifferently, “It’s just a simple
physical examination. Lie down and take off your

pants. I only need to take a sample.”
Isabella gripped the sides of her pants with both
hands, forcing herself to stay calm and mentally
prepare herself. Just think of it as a free check–up.
It’s no big deal.
Then, she lay down expressionlessly, already
guessing Seth’s intentions. The cotton swab lightly
grazed her, and it was a very quick process.
Isabella got up in a daze, but she realized her legs
had gone numb within a minute and were shaking.
It wasn’t out of fear, though–it was out of anger.
“You can go now. I’ll give the results to Mr. Wallace.”
Without giving any response, Isabella adjusted her

Then, she sat in the corridor for a while, sorting out
her thoughts. Seth thought she had slept with Louis
and wanted her to get checked for any diseases.
Taking a deep breath, she wanted to throw a
tantrum when her phone rang. It was from Seth.
After wiping her face, she controlled her trembling
voice and spoke. “Mr. Shaffer.”
“Are you done with your examination?” The man’s
voice sounded cold and monotonous.
Isabella stared at her reflection on the wall
opposite her and coldly retorted, “I’ve already
tendered my resignation, so you don’t have to be
so considerate by giving me a free check–up, you

A snort came from her phone, followed by Seth’s
usual tone as he questioned her, “Haven’t you
checked your email?”

While furrowing her brows, Isabella had a bad
feeling. “I-”
The man cut her off and simply said, “Come over at
8.00PM. I will be returning home later.”
Within seconds, she could only hear the beep of
the disconnected call.
Isabella couldn’t wait until she returned home, so
she immediately checked her email on her phone. The reply from the human resources department

‘Termination within the five–year term of.
employment will result in a ten million penalty for

Isabella’s pupils dilated, and she felt as if she had
been plunged into an ice cellar, shivering from the
cold. When she first joined the company, she was
still a rookie and didn’t understand the specifics of
the contract. Nonetheless, she was certain that this
clause hadn’t been in there.
Hold on! She had signed numerous contracts over the past few years under Seth’s instructions. There was no guarantee that he hadn’t deliberately slipped in a few extra clauses. As such, she might

As the sky grew darker, it was eventually 9.00PM.
Isabella’s mind felt dizzy before a dazzling ray of
light shone on her, instantly waking her up.

Seth descended the car and saw the woman
curled up on the steps through the intense light.
She resembled a stray, looking vaguely like how
she did a few years ago. His mood changed slightly
as he slowly approached and stood before her.
“How long have you been here?”
“Since 7.40PM.” Isabella’s tone sounded calm
without a trace of anger.
Her calm tone instantly smoothed out the surge of emotion inside Seth’s heart, and he discreetly
withdrew his gaze before moving past her and

Isabella looked up with a calm expression and
followed him up the stairs.
Once inside the living room, Seth removed his coat
and casually threw it on the couch. Then, he
lowered his head and began unbuttoning his cuffs
leisurely. Without paying any attention to Isabella,
he went straight upstairs.

Listening to the obedient footsteps behind him not
too far away, he went straight to his bedroom door
before coming to a halt. He smiled mockingly, then
removed his clothes before entering the bathroom
in his birthday suit.
