The Rise of a Master: It Starts With Rejection

Chapter 699

The middle-aged store manager's commanding presence was hard to ignore. When Isabella was suddenly called out by name, she froze on the spot.

Nelly, standing nearby, also widened her eyes in shock.

She had only heard of Kurt Gray once, and that was when she visited Felix's Tranquil Clinic. Even a tough guy like Huxley had been scared to death by him. Kurt was definitely someone extremely powerful. When did Isabella get to know him? Nelly had absolutely no idea.

"Nelly! What should I do? I... I was just bluffing. It was a casual chat with friends, saying that Mr. Gray was especially powerful and that no one dared to mess with him."

Nelly didn't know what to do either. She knew Felix was familiar with Kurt, but why would he help now? Especially with so many people on the other side, stepping in carelessly could drag them all into trouble. Felix, standing off to the side, couldn't help but chuckle. It was amusing to see a young woman make such big claims. He didn't need to ask to know that Isabella definitely didn't know Kurt.

If she did, there was no way she would still be here selling cars. She might not be incredibly wealthy, but she would at least be living comfortably by now if she knew Kurt. "Isabella! Come over here!"

The store manager urged her, clearly trusting Isabella immensely. It showed that the girl had good character. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bet everything on her at this crucial
