I Quit Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons ) Chapter 182

Chapter 182

After dismissing Gordon’s speculation, Isabella found herself engulfed in a

whirlwind of conflicting thoughts upon returning home.

After all, a woman can always dream. Despite developing a tough character

while being around Seth, there was still a hint of fantasy lingering deep within

her.

Furthermore, the Shaffer Group’s business had no connection to the

Dunkstein Family. There was no reason for Seth to attend Old Mrs. Dunkstein’s

banquet. Combined with his behavior at the event, it was hard not to

overthink the situation.

As she finished showering, these thoughts consumed her mind as she

poured herself a small glass of wine and leaned against the kitchen counter,

lost in contemplation.

Just then, Natasha called to inquire about Molly’s situation.

Isabella provided all the details and set aside unnecessary thoughts as she

discussed with Natasha the next steps to take.

After listening, Natasha said, “The value of this information is worth millions.

Have you decided who to pass it on to?”

Isabella sat upright, staring at the wine in front of her. She picked up the glass

and downed it in one go.

After exhaling a breath with a hint of alcohol, she replied, “Seth.”

Natasha remained silent for a moment, then chuckled lightly and teasingly

Isabella sensed the teasing in her words and calmly explained, “I don’t have

any special feelings for him. I just don’t have the courage to approach people

I don’t know well.”

“No matter who handles this, it’s like attempting the impossible. Honestly, only

Seth gives me a sense of certainty in the entire Imperia. He has boundaries.”

Natasha exclaimed, “He kept you waiting for five years, yet you still think he’s

a person with good qualities!”

“If we set aside his personal life and emotions, he is undoubtedly a good

business partner,” Isabella impartially stated.

Natasha clicked her tongue. “It’s up to you. Just make sure you’re clear in your

mind and don’t mix things up. Otherwise, you might end up losing both

people and wealth.”

Isabella understood what Natasha meant. She openly shared her thoughts,

saying, “Don’t worry. I have it under control.”

The music was loud on Natasha’s end, indicating she was still at a bar.

Isabella advised her to drink less before ending the call.

After setting her phone aside, the house fell silent once again.

Unable to sleep, Isabella poured herself several more drinks and stumbled

upstairs in a daze.

She fell into a drowsy sleep. She had initially planned to stay home and avoid

going anywhere, but Alex’s call came just before 9.00 PM.

Isabella forcefully kicked her blanket while grimacing as she answered the

call.

“Isabella, come to the office quickly. Something interesting is happening.”

Isabella felt groggy and uninterested in any drama.

Alex added, “The officials have come to investigate. They’ve taken Abigail

away and are currently interrogating Jonas in his office.”

Isabella woke up abruptly and opened her eyes wide. In a hoarse voice, she

asked, “Are they primarily investigating Jonas or Abigail?”

If it was only Abigail, it might be a follow-up to the last sales incident.

However, if it involved Jonas, it could potentially be related to Nemotors’

matter.

Alex didn’t understand the difference between the two. She simply found it

satisfying to see those jerks suffer while providing real-time descriptions over

the phone.

Isabella switched to speakerphone and got up to freshen up.

In less than half an hour, she swiftly hailed a cab and headed straight to the

company. She remained on the phone with Alex throughout the journey and

only hung up when she entered the office premises.

A sign indicating temporary closure hung on the company’s main gate. As

Isabella pushed the door open and stepped inside, she was greeted by the

sound of people arguing.

“Jonas, please cooperate with the investigation!”

”

“Cooperate, my foot! I haven’t done anything! Why should I be investigated?!”

Jonas was clearly agitated as he adamantly refused to disclose personal

accounts or provide specific transaction information.

Isabella stood outside the glass window and joined the crowd that had

gathered to watch, but she remained silent.

Suddenly, Jonas, in a fit of rage, turned his head and coincidentally locked

eyes with Isabella.

He was furious as he grabbed the investigators and pointed at Isabella.

“Have you investigated her? I completed my last sales achievement together

with her. Why are you only investigating me?!”

Isabella remained expressionless and stayed silent.

Alex stood beside Isabella and clicked her tongue. “You’re somewhat lucky.

The higher-ups have suspended you, and all sales achievements have been

credited back to Jonas. It means your sales achievements have nothing to

do with him.”

Isabella curled her lips slightly and felt relieved. “It seems luck is on my side.”

After saying that, she turned around, walked away from the crowd, and

headed towards the parking lot.

Alex followed her out and chuckled. “How do you stay so updated? How did

you know the person issuing license plates was here?”

Isabella paused, “What?”

Alex shrugged. “You received a rather unique plate number. Mr. Wallace felt a

bit guilty and arranged it in advance for you, and the person came over to

handle it.”

Isabella was somewhat surprised as she quickened her pace towards the

parking lot.

In the parking lot, the red Cayenne now had a license plate, and the

distinctive plate number was extremely eye-catching.

Isabella stood in front of the car and sighed with mixed emotions. “If I take

this car on the road, it will definitely turn heads. There’s no doubt about that.”
