Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer

Chatper 147

Chapter 147

Isabella recognized that annoying voice immediately. It almost startled her

awake from her near-fainting state, and she struggled to open her eyes. Her

vision remained blurry, and all she could make out were some silhouettes

emerging from the elevator. However, she could sense a chilling atmosphere

enveloping her and Gordon.

Isabella closed her eyes, allowing tears to well up and clear her vision. Seth, Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

looking dark and tense, stood in the elevator, glaring at them with murderous

intent. “Do you think you can leave after what you did in my company?” Seth

asked coldly, his tone devoid of any emotion.

Seeking solace, Isabella leaned closer to Gordon, gripping his shoulder. She

pleaded, “That was just a mistake, Mr. Shaffer. He didn’t mean it.”

“A mistake?” Seth sneered, his gaze fixed on Isabella. He was clearly in a foul

mood.

“Enough, move aside,” Gordon retorted, indifferent to the situation. He only

wanted to take Isabella to the hospital.

Panic washed over Isabella as she heard his words. Breaking into the

company and assaulting its employees was wrong from the start, and now

he was challenging Seth. Seth might actually become serious. Since she

couldn’t stop Gordon, she turned to Seth, but this time, she spoke with more

determination. “Mr. Shaffer, your employees interrogated me for an entire

2/5

day, and I haven’t had anything to eat or drink until now. It wouldn’t bode well

if the public were to find out about this.” She shifted from being apologetic to

making a threat.

Seth’s lips curled downwards, and any trace of humanity left in him vanished.

He forced a twisted smile. “Feel free to inform the public.”

Dariel clicked his tongue and added fuel to the fire. “Oh, Isabella, you’re being

quite bold. You’re threatening Seth.”

I always knew that guy was a worthless piece of trash. This will only make

things worse.

The doors of the employee elevator swung open, and Selena emerged.

Isabella’s temples throbbed. She had a feeling that things were about to take

a turn for the worse, and she could sense the shadow of death looming over

3/5

Selena seemed to appear out of thin air and quickly stood by Seth’s side. “Sir,

we have a problem,” she wanted to say it aloud, but she couldn’t. She

appeared panicked.

Seth despised it when people did that. In a deadpan tone, he said, “Speak.”

Selena bit her lip and turned to Isabella. “Did you call the media, Isabella?”

All eyes turned to Isabella. She froze. Yes, she had entertained the idea and

even made a call, but she got cold feet and hung up as soon as the call

connected. She tried to say something, but Selena cut her off. “Even if you’re

dissatisfied with the company, you shouldn’t have contacted the media. It

has only been a few days since the incident involving you and Miss Shaffer.

The company is already on thin ice. One wrong move, and we’ll be in serious

trouble.”

Isabella swallowed her explanation. She tensed up and looked at Selena with

uncertainty, wondering how much of what she said was true.

Before she could deduce anything, Seth spoke up. “So, that’s why you dared

to threaten us?”

4/5

Isabella took a deep breath. She regretted saying that. Now that someone

had come to ‘verify’ her threat, she couldn’t deny it anymore. She gritted her

teeth. Alright, I have no other choice now. “So what?”

She locked eyes with Seth. It didn’t take her long to realize the consequences

of her choice, and she stared fearlessly at Seth. Despite being held in

Gordon’s arms and being shorter than him, she showed no signs of fear. “The

media is right outside. Either you instruct your men to escort me out, or

Gordon can charge straight through. The media will present a different story

if that happens.”

My, Dariel clicked his tongue and applauded Isabella. She’s like a rose

blooming on a remote island. Mysterious and captivating. She possesses

poisonous thorns, and even if they prick anyone who touches her, she will

only show them beautiful illusions, compelling them to touch her again.

Seth pursed his lips, remaining silent for a long while. He stared at Isabella

with a dark expression, the twisted smile now absent.

Dariel and Isabella knew Seth well. They knew he was furious.

“What will the media think if you leave like that?”

Isabella furrowed her brow. She didn’t expect Seth to say that after the

silence. She began, “I-”

Seth nodded and cut her off. “I’ll drive you there.”
