Chapter 115

Isabella was led into a big private estate. The estate’s architectural style

leaned more toward Jesundian, which was something Seth never liked.

someone she could question, but the people had locked the door behind

them as they walked out. She was not even given the chance to speak to

them.

When she looked out of the window, she saw bodyguards stationed

everywhere. The entire place was tightly guarded.

At that moment, Isabella’s phone rang. It was a call from Natasha.

She snapped out of her thoughts and hurriedly answered it.

“What happened, Bella?”

Thus, Isabella recounted everything that had happened before urging

Natasha to investigate the owner of the house so that she could properly

address the issue.

Natasha immediately worked on it after telling Isabella not to worry and to

wait. If worse came to worst, Natasha would demand Isabella to be handed

over using Dariel’s name.

bodyguard was just now. Anyone who would hire a bodyguard like that would

most likely not budge just because Dariel wanted something.
