Chapter 77

Isabella stood frozen in place while recalling her communication with her

the money had been transferred directly by the assistant without any explicit

indications or remarks.

Upon realizing the situation, she suddenly calmed down and spoke

mechanically. “Miss Shaffer, are you trying to vent your anger on me?”

Alex entered and was startled by Isabella’s expression. “What’s wrong with
