Isabella thought it was Selena, but it turned out to be Ollie. âYou didnât go with him?â
Politely, Ollie answered, âHe was worried Nicolas and Selena wouldnât be able to deal with any emergencies alone, so he left me here and took Nicolas with him.â
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. âDo you need anything from me?â
Olli nodded. âBefore he left, he asked me to keep a cardiologist on call. I got two, but they arenât exactly famous experts.â
Chapter 52 Seth in Trouble 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. âItâs alright. I just want to bring this up with you and see if you have any solutions.â
Tch. Even his employees are weird. Guess the weirdoâs habits rubbed off on this guy, Isabella didnât 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 Groupâs representative. He left an impression on her, but they shared no connection otherwise.
Sethâs rivals this time were different. The Larsons and Hanks alone were established businessmen in Imperia. They werenât 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 Shawnâs number, but then her phone kept vibrating. It was Jonas. She sneered and took the call. âYes, Mr. Stokes?â
She could hear Jonas walking around. âWhich room are you in?â he asked.
Chapter 52 Seth in Trouble Isabella said a random number and told him, âRemember to go through the car park. Iâll be waiting at the elevator there.â
Jonas kept saying he would do it. The excitement in his voice was palpable.
Isabella didnât 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?
âDonât you worry, Isabella. Iâll give you the best things this world has to offer.â
Jonas was about to speak further, but then Isabella heard a shout. She stood Chapter 52 Seth in Trouble up and looked downstairs. Someone swung a bat at Jonasâ neck from behind. She kept eating her strawberries and feigned confusion. âMr. Stokes?
Are you there, Mr. Stokes?â
There was no answer, of course. After Jonas was knocked on his neck, a few guys dragged him into the car park. Isabella held her phone out. She could hear cries for mercy, but Natashaâs men didnât talk too much. They kept going at Jonas without saying a word. Jonas started off begging for mercy, then he cursed them. In the end, he fell into despair and cried for help.
Isabella listened, but she was unfazed. She was icy. Eventually, she was annoyed, and she hung up.
Twenty minutes later, Natashaâs men called her. âItâs done, Isabella. What should we do with him?â
Chapter 52 Seth in Trouble âIs he still alive?â
âYeah. Donât worry. We didnât kill him.â
âGood. Thanks for the help. Give me your account number, and Iâll pay you for your work.â
The guy quickly refused, but Isabella was adamant. She wouldnât owe anyone anything. Eventually, she convinced the guy and gave them a generous amount of about eight thousand.
After Jonas was beaten up, she went back to work, looking for Shawnâs number. It took her half an hour before she got any clues. It was nearly 12.00AM, and she guessed that Seth should be all right, but then someone banged on the door so hard it felt like the door would be smashed.
Chapter 52 Seth in Trouble Isabella frowned. The banging was giving her a headache, so she gritted her teeth, held her pain in, and opened the door.
It was Ollie, and he looked panicked. That was not a good sign. âBad news. Mr.
Gosling fell ill, and heâs taken to the hospital.â
Isabella cursed silently. âAnd Mr. Shaffer?â
Ollie wiped his sweat. Resigned, he said, âMr. Gosling fell ill when he was talking to Mr. Shaffer. Mr. Shaffer went to the hospital too.
Isabella clenched her fists, feeling utterly annoyed. âWhat can I do when things have gotten so bad?â
Ollie couldnât say a word. A moment of silence later, he said, âThe doctors I called are on their way there. Mr. Gosling has his own medic too, but they Chapter 52 Seth in Trouble wonât be of any use.â
Isabella cursed Seth madly in her heart. Told you not to see him late at night.
Now look at what happened. She frowned at Ollie and hissed, âSo what if youâre telling me this? Heâs Seth Shaffer. He doesnât need anyoneâs help.â
Ollie was shut down, but he looked at her. âMs. Symons, you know how much Mr. Shaffer hates owing favors.â
Isabella stopped turning around. She was tempted. It wasnât easy to get that man to owe anyone a favor.
Ollie caught that, and he said, âAnd a life is at stake here. You canât leave him for dead.â
Do you think Iâm a doctor? Isabella rolled her eyes.
