After driving for a while, Isobel found something strange. She glanced at Stanley, "Stanley, this is not the way to my house."
"I know."
The man who was driving the car glanced at her, "It is eleven o’clock now. Don’t you have lunch?"
"I’ll go back and cook some noodles."
Stanley looked at her and laughed, "Be good. Do you want to go to the hospital again?"
Isobel became silent and did not speak again.
What happened these days pushed her buttons again and again.
Every time when she felt very terrible, there would be something else to make her more miserable.
And it was all because of Hamish.
She didn’t want to think of him.
Isobel didn’t see Stanley anymore and just closed her eyes.
Stanley didn’t embarrass her too much. He sent her back home after lunch.
"Thank you."
"Stop saying thank you. Go back and think about what I said. Hamish is not a good man and I can take you and your mother out of here if you want."
Stanley did know her.
Thomas had become a handful of ashes. Whether his death had anything to do with Hamish or not, Isobel didn’t want to know.
Hamish’s parents died in a car accident ten years ago, so the Lewis family did owe him.
She only had her mother now, but Amanda was addicted to gambling. The only way was to take her out of City N and find a new place to start a new life.
All of Stanley’s businesses were here, but he offered to take them out of here.
Even though Isobel didn’t love Stanley, she was also very moved by him.
In fact, she didn’t know what she could do in City N. Their family was not originally from City N. It was because of Thomas’s job transfer that they came here.
Once some ideas came into being, people had no way to kill them.
She used to be naive. She thought that after she separated from Hamish, they really had nothing to do with each other.
But in City N, no matter hard she tried to avoid Hamish, and she still couldn’t get rid of him completely.
She had never had the thought of leaving here before, probably because in her heart, she was not willing to separate from Hamish.
But now that idea had become a joke. If she didn’t realize it, she would be hurt badly in the end.
When the sunlight outside the window came in, Isobel found that she had not fallen asleep all night.
She raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes, then got up and went to the bathroom to wash.
Stanley’s words made her realize that now the people of the Sutton family and the Francis family had informed the companies of City N, so she didn’t need to stay here any longer.
Isobel was determined to leave City N, and now the first thing was to find Amanda.
She didn’t contact Amanda after she left in the early morning of that day. It was not easy to find Amanda now.
Since Amanda became addicted to gambling, she had rarely stayed at home.
Not surprisingly, when Isobel came home, she found nothing.
In fact, she had a way to find Amanda, but she didn’t want to bother to find Amanda before. Now she could find Amanda quickly.
Stanley had ordered that his people couldn’t serve Amanda. So Amanda was not on Stanley’s territory.
It was not the first time that Isobel had come to such a terrible place. When Amanda started gambling, she went to find Amanda herself several times.
At the beginning, Amanda had some sense. Seeing Isobel crying, Amanda obediently went home with Isobel.
