Chapter 76

As soon as Isabella heard Jonas’ name, she knew it wasn’t good news. She

glanced at the clock and realized it was almost 10.00AM; she had slept

through the entire morning.

Yesterday, she might have gotten away with it, but this time, she couldn’t.

She struggled to get out of bed and nearly screamed when she looked in the

mirror. She had heavy eye bags, a dried and darkened face, and faint scars

on her lips. She resembled a female ghost.

Seth, you b*stard!

She couldn’t bring herself to curse herself, so she vented all her frustration on

Seth. She even brushed her teeth aggressively as if every ounce of strength

was directed at him.

After finally getting ready, she squeezed into the subway to go to the office.

While sitting on the shaky train, she suddenly felt a bit pitiful when she

reflected on her five years of struggling without a car while Seth, that b*stard,

had a whole racing city to himself as soon as he came of age.

People had different lives and different fates. It made her hate to even think

about it.

She grumbled the whole way, and even after getting off the train, she had to

limp along. Just as she entered the office, she heard Abigail’s girly voice.

“Isabella sold a sports car while you were away.”

Isabella rolled her eyes. Will you die if you don’t mention it?

She struggled to enter the office and initiated the conversation. “Mr. Stokes,
