I Quit, Mr. Shaffer by Isabella Symons

Chapter 181

Gordon preferred not to push things too far, so when Isabella told him to wait,

he simply lay down on the bed and started playing with his phone.

It wasn’t until 6:00 PM, when the sky darkened, that Isabella packed up and

Outside the hotel, a black Bentley was parked under a tree, resembling a

patient predator waiting for its prey to appear.

The person in the backseat raised his gaze, and his piercing eyes reflected

from the rearview mirror. He silenced Nicolas, forcing him to swallow the

words on the tip of his tongue.

Nicolas felt a cold sweat on his back and wisely shut his mouth.

He prayed for Isabella to hurry out, hoping she wouldn’t spend the night with

Gordon inside.

In the backseat, Seth’s hands were clasped, and his elbows were resting on

his knees. His lips were pressed tightly together, and an aura of tension

surrounded him.

scanned the area and found no sign of Isabella.

Jordan reported that Isabella had gone to the hotel with Gordon.

He couldn’t help but sneer with a twisted smile.
