Chapter 15

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait too long. Over an hour later, Isabella’s phone rang.

With Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne all eagerly watching, Isabella tapped the speakerphone button, “Hello?” Isabella said.

The person on the other end chuckled softly. “Hello, little girl. Were you waiting for my call?”

Isabella hesitated for a moment, then cleared her throat. “Are you… available to come over to my place? My family wants to meet you.”

Clayton paused for a while, and Nathan, Winona, and Yvonne held their breath, waiting for his response.

“Sure! I’ll come over in half an hour,” Clayton said with a deep and sexy voice.

Yvonne’s cheeks flushed with excitement.

As Isabella ended the call, Yvonne couldn’t contain her excitement, blurting out to Nathan and Winona, “Dad, Mom, he’s coming over!”

Isabella smirked inwardly, thinking. They’re getting all worked up just because Clayton agreed to come over. If he proposed to Yvonne, she’d probably pass out from joy.”

Nathan breathed a sigh of relief. He had something in mind, but with Isabella present, he casually said, “It looks like everything’s sorted. Isabella, you can go upstairs now. Mr. Murray will be here soon, and you don’t need to come back down.”

Isabella stood up and gave Nathan a slight smile. “Dad, when am I getting that 1.2 million dollars?”

Nathan’s expression darkened. “It depends on how things go between Mr. Murray and Yvonne. Whether you see a dime of it or not.”

Just as I thought, Isabella mused. She glanced at Winona, then turned to Yvonne, and finally said to Nathan, “With Yvonne’s looks, are you worried that Mr. Murray won’t find her attractive?”

“Of course not!” Yvonne quickly interjected.

“Then why are you holding onto my 1.2 million dollars?” Isabella pressed Nathan,
