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.

Seth’s hands before Spencer could confront him.

Seth would never let Louis shoot his mouth off because…

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