Chapter 78

Isabella spent extravagantly by swiping her card for 600 thousand. The

crowd gathered and gossiped all the while.

Gordon stood nearby, and his expression was grim. When Isabella brought

out the card, he was certain that it was from Seth.

“Isabella, the final payment has been processed. The car should arrive in

about two weeks.” Someone from the contract department handed the

finalized contract to Isabella.

She accepted it while maintaining a cold demeanor. “Thank you.”

started offering consoling words to Isabella for acquiring the Ghost.

Jonas had thought of approaching her several times to ease the tension, but

Gordon was somewhat surprised. Isabella had been very cautious around

him in the past, but now she trusted him enough to sleep in his car. This

change in attitude was a significant turning point.
