Chapter 192

Back then, Provt did a list of Vitrallik Danes, placing them on the edge of… Bir example, fie, an rugged and wild various pres bone, entered anténade auf even human mi. In recent years, there have been strict regulations; they want no choice but to switch to the transportation business, and they’re doing quite well.

He is connected to many shady networks. Without a second thought, she oddly refused. “No caving,” she thought. A person like that deserves to go to hell, and I’m not the expert to save him.

Brittany paused, staring at Isabella in disbelief, exclaiming, “Why?” She thought it was a sure thing, especially since she said Isabella could name any conditions. Isabella’s expression was stern as she directly bypassed Brittany, saying, “Why do you keep asking? No means no.” She thought, “That’s my bottom line. If I save someone so evil, what’s the point of my studying medicine? Didn’t Floyd also kill people before?”

Habella didn’t want to argue further with Brittany and walked towards her parking spot. Brittany wasn’t willing to accept this, after all the effort to find Isabella, only to get such a response. Tears fell from her eyes like large raindrops as she quickly ran up, grabbing Isabella’s wrist and pleading, “Dr. Lovett, my dad is dying, please. I’m begging you, I’ll even get on my knees!”

Isabella was then the only hope. If she didn’t agree, then there was truly no hope for Floyd. Isabella didn’t respond at all, not even giving Brittany another glance before getting into the car and leaving. Brittany was left kneeling on the ground, watching Isabella’s car drive away, tears streaming down her face. She thought, “There’s got to be a way.”

Wiping her tears, Brittany watched Isabella walk away, thinking maybe she just hadn’t been sincere enough. She believed that good doctors are usually full of themselves. But for her father, she’d do anything!

Ivana and Jenny, who had just come downstairs from working overtime, saw the entire scene. Ivana crossed her arms, her voice cold with displeasure. “Has Isabella become so arrogant now? Even when someone was begging on their knees in front of everyone, she didn’t show a bit of compassion. That high-and-mighty attitude is really hard to tolerate. What gives Isabella the right to be so demanding?”

Jenny, standing by Ivana’s side, sneered, “She’s just putting on a show. Look, with all these people coming and going at the company’s entrance, just imagine how many envious looks she’s getting.” Ivana looked around and indeed, quite a few people were staring at them. She let out a cold snort, “Such a schemer. She really has no shame, putting on such an act here.”

Tessin was taken aback, looking si heimind with vorne teprice, she asked, “Is the Reimany?” She had heard of Floed before; he was a male player in the transportareya mürbestry. Jeraty nodded, “Yeah, finany is spoiled like a princess at home and he has quite a temper.” The familisi tane made tana tum to her still curiosity and asked, “You know her?” She thought, “la Jenny really familiar with someone of the Pameron family’s standing.”

Even though the Stesen family had a decent reputation in Draxeport, they never had any business interactions or personal connections with the Patterson family. So, her understanding was quite limited. The only thing she knew was that there was such a person in Draxenport. With a little smirk and a glint of pride in her eyes, Jenny explained to Ivana, “Of course, I was Brittany’s schoolmate back in the day. I’ve heard all about her ‘adventures.’”

Ivana shot her a glance, thinking that just being schoolmates wasn’t something to feel so pleased about. Sensing Ivana’s off-kilter mood, Jenny quickly fell silent, just watching her with a soft chuckle. Seeing Brittany already heading toward the roadside, Ivana hurriedly stepped forward, but she was just a step too late.

Brittany had already gotten into the car; all that was visible now was the receding tail of the car. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Ivana thought. She had hoped to build a connection with Brittany, but it seemed she’d have to wait for another chance.

Ivana glanced sideways at Jenny and instructed, “Help me gather all the information on Brittany. I need it by tomorrow.” She intended to use Brittany as a sharp tool to her advantage. She thought, ‘One day, Isabella will pay for her arrogance.’

Jenny saw the cold look in Ivana’s eyes and didn’t dare ask any more questions. She nodded quickly and said, “Alright, I’ll handle it for you right away.” She had already taken out her phone and started contacting various acquaintances and old classmates.

Ivana gave Jenny, who was busy working, a contemptuous glance and said calmly, “Keep busy, I’m leaving now.” She picked up her purse and walked towards the parking lot. Jenny glared resentfully at Ivana’s back as she walked away and muttered quietly, “What’s so great about her, just because she’s Mr. Stout’s daughter?” But she couldn’t stop her hands from working as she continued responding to the messages on her phone. With all the information needed by tomorrow, it was going to be another night of working late. Jenny couldn’t help but grit her teeth, wondering when she would become the boss.

As time went by, some people slept well that night, while others didn’t. For instance, Samuel. Every night, he went to sleep holding his wife, yet they had never been intimate. It was somewhat troubling for him.

A that moment, Samur sensed he remembered something, and he reached the door, calling out, “Wait a moment.” Oriana paused for a moment, turned around, and with a slight bow asked, “Mr. Howerton, is there anything else you need?” Samuel pressed his lips together, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly asked, “What kind of surprises do most women…”

Oriana was taken aback, surprised at first. But when she saw Samuel asking seriously, her eyes widened. She thought, Could Sammel actually have someone he likes? Or am I the one he is interested in? She was a bit too shy to look Samuel in the eye, and said softly with her head lowered, “Well, women usually like flowers, jewelry, stuff like that.” She thought, So, is Samuel planning to give me these things?

Oriana’s heart skipped with anticipation. She’d been working alongside Samuel for over three years. While she wasn’t his personal assistant, he trusted her more than the others. She thought, Could it be that Samuel actually had feelings for me? At that moment, she could barely keep her emotions in check.

Samuel tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk. He remembered the necklace he gave Isabella—she seemed to really like it. He thought maybe flowers would be a good idea. After a brief pause, he looked at Oriana and asked, “Is there anything else?”

Oriana felt even more joyful. It seemed that Samuel thought this was still not enough, so she decided to suggest more. With a shy smile, she replied, “Girls do love romantic things, like being picked up from work, going out for dinner, dating—they want everyone to see how happy they are.” She thought, If Samuel does all this for me, just think of how many women in the office would envy me.

Oriana was absolutely smitten. She wished Samuel would take action immediately. Samuel seriously considered the feasibility of Oriana’s suggestions and said in a cold voice, “Alright, you can leave.” Oriana was taken aback and looked at Samuel, “What?”
