Chapter 191 Dream Car
“Hmm?” Magnus paused, withdrawing his hand once more.
He had been suffering from chronic headaches and sleeping problems.
“Does this stuff really work that well? Let me see.” Arlo reached out to take
Magnus quickly pocketed it.
Isabelle followed Melissa and Danny to a quieter spot.
Seizing the opportunity, Melissa asked, “Isabelle, what does Mr. Carter like or enjoy?”
Isabelle replied, “He enjoys challenges, in any form.”
People, events, cases, things–everything.
Melissa immediately guessed, “Rock climbing? Paragliding?”
Isabelle seriously questioned, “Where’s the challenge in that?”
Melissa deflated and asked, “Those aren’t challenging enough, huh?”
Danny chimed in, “Sis, you’re too naive. If the mafia played with that stuff, our ordinary entertainment would be mundane in comparison.”
Melissa shot him a glare and chided, “Shut up.”
Seeing Melissa’s lovesick expression, Isabelle asked, “Didn’t you enjoy talking with him?”
Melissa sighed. “No, I enjoyed it too much.”
Isabelle was puzzled.

Melissa was on the verge of tears as she explained, “He’s just as gentlemanly and courteous as he is in class, occasionally even humorous, but there’s always this sense of distance. I think he only humoured me because of you. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have bothered. My professional knowledge isn’t on his level; we’re not even in the same league. I can’t keep asking him questions because I feel he wouldn’t like someone so much weaker than him.”
Isabelle was at a loss.
Danny suggested, “Sis, why not join his gang? That’d give you something to talk about.”
Melissa kicked him and chided, “Go to hell.”
Danny grimaced in pain and protested, “Why not? It’s a good idea.”
Isabelle remarked, “Joining his law firm might be a better idea.”
Danny realised and agreed, “Oh, right. That’s much safer.”
After venting her frustrations, Melissa went to greet some friends who had arrived.
Danny pulled out his phone to admire the photos before showing them to Isabelle. He asked, “Boss, did you see that Koenigsegg One:1 at the entrance?
“Look at the body, the door design, and here. It’s my dream car! I saw it as soon as I got out of the car!”
Isabelle glanced at the photo, which was of Danny posing with the car.
He had taken a selfie, striking a silly yet showy pose.
“I got up close and personal with it. Even the gas smells good! It’s awesome! I wonder whose car it is,” Danny said, scanning the guests in the
hall.

As he was speculating, Isabelle tossed something in front of him.
Danny looked down and exclaimed, “Whoa!”
He quickly glanced at Isabelle, then back at the keys on the table, then at Isabelle again.
“Boss, you aren’t kidding, right? Is this a lighter?”
Given Isabelle’s silence, Danny took a deep breath, hurriedly put down his phone, stood up, and wiped his hands on his clothes.
Carefully picking up the car key, he pressed it lightly.
“No way! It’s real!” Danny exclaimed. His heart was racing. He glanced at the door, eager to rush out, and pressed the key a few times to hear the car’s sound.
Suppressing his excitement, Danny asked, “Did you borrow this car, or…?”
Isabelle replied, “I bought it.”
Danny’s eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked, “You bought it? When did you buy it? This was released in 2014. You were still a kid back then, right? How did you get it? There are only six of these worldwide; it’s not just about money.”
Isabelle asked, “Do you like it?”
Hearing Isabelle’s question, Danny clenched the car key in his hand, looking at her expectantly and nodding.
Isabelle said, “If you like it, take a good look at it.”
