Chapter 116

E

Isabella had everything all planned out. She would not fight against Spencer

on this matter because the two people involved would not have a chance to

speak.

Lara would be too afraid to do so because once she told the truth, people

would know about how she tried to use a problematic financial report to

frame Seth for a crime. When that happened, she would be in deep trouble

as well.

Isabella’s most cunning strategy was to subdue everyone first and then

discreetly conduct her investigation.

As for Louis, he had a high chance of being captured. He would also fall into

Seth’s hands before Spencer could confront him.

Seth would never let Louis shoot his mouth off because…

“I’m yours. Do you think Old Mr. Shaffer would believe that I was the one who

hurt Miss Shaffer?” Isabella said.

The dim light on the ceiling shone on her face, casting long shadows down

her cheeks. When she looked up, the sly, scheming glint shining in her eyes

was terrifying.

Seth let out a snort of laughter. “Mine?”

Her gaze flickered as she smiled. “Who would believe that I’m not yours?”

With a fake smile on his face, Seth stared into Isabella’s eyes. Instead of

being angered by her claim, he was amused. “If you’re so skilled that you can

use me in your schemes, why are you asking me for two favors?”

Her throat felt dry. Guilt flashed in her eyes as she swiftly suppressed her fear.
