Chapter 69 The Persistent Ex-Fiance

Samuel quickly moved to the window, pulled back the curtains, and looked down.

"Hmm? Where is she?"

He had clearly seen a figure that looked a lot like Isabel pass by just a moment ago, but now it was gone.

Samuel scanned the surroundings again at night, but still saw nothing

"Could I have been mistaken?"

Samuel rubbed his eyes. It must be from staring at the screen while gaming too long

He closed the curtains and turned off the lights to go to sleep.

Isabel stepped out from behind a large tree and glanced toward Samuel's room.

"What a night owl, staying up so late," she thought before continuing on her way.

Before long, she arrived at the old villa in the back.

The driver responsible for the accident and the assassins from over a decade ago were all confined here. They were kept in separate rooms, so it made her task easier.

Isabel first approached the driver's room, retrieved her pre-prepared hypnotic tools, and gave him a light kick.

The driver, lost in a deep sleep, blinked groggily as he was jolted awake.

This was the ideal time for hypnosis, so Isabel immediately set to work.

The following day, as they were having breakfast, Leo rushed in, phone in hand.

"Boss, I just got an anonymous email."

Isabel remained unfazed, calmly enjoying her breakfast

His eyes were lifeless as he mumbled. "Back then, I did receive some money to run someone over."
