Chapter 14
Isabella had been busy all afternoon, making
several calls, but received no responses. Although
she had thought of trying those previous
“connections,” she decided against it because
there was no point in humiliating herself before
them. With mounting pressure, she couldn’t afford
to dwell on messy affairs.
She had no business matters to attend and wasn’t

in the mood for overtime. After all, sales wasn’t just
about sitting in an office and doing paperwork. So,
she grabbed her bag and left. She had to stay at
Natasha’s place for the next few days. Before
heading back, she decided to call and ask if
Natasha wanted her to buy groceries.
Isabella dialed the number, and Natasha picked

anything specific you’d like?” Instead of a response,
she heard a bustling commotion on the other end
of the line.
This struck her as odd since Natasha managed a
bar, and it wasn’t late enough for such a lively
atmosphere. Isabella repeated her question a
couple of times, but Natasha remained silent, and
suddenly, screams echoed in the background

“Natasha?” Isabella called repeatedly, but Natasha
abruptly hung up.
Natasha managed Goldland Lounge, one of
Imperia’s top bars with a powerful backer, so
trouble was rare. Still, Isabella’s concern grew,
prompting her to head to the bar.
As evening approached, the lights illuminated the
surroundings. Luxury cars were a common sight
near the bar since it was surrounded by other
entertainment venues frequented by wealthy
people.
After getting out of the car, Isabella hurriedly
entered the bar. Since she had been here a few
times before, the waitstaff at the entrance

recognized her. “It’s been a while since you last Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
visited, Miss Symons.”
Isabella followed the waiter inside. The lighting was
dim, but everything was neat and orderly.
Performers were on stage, singing softly, and there
were no signs of trouble.
“I’m here to see Natasha. Is she busy?” Isabella
inquired. Just then, she saw Natasha standing on
the second–floor crystal corridor, which relieved
her.
Natasha also noticed her from above. She spoke to
the man she was with before descending the spiral
staircase.
“Why are you here?” She asked, somewhat

surprised, as Isabella wasn’t typically fond of places
like this.
Waving her phone, Isabella explained, “I heard
some commotion when I called earlier and thought
something might have happened to you.”
Natasha clicked her tongue and patted Isabella’s
head. “I was too busy and didn’t even check who
was calling when I answered. Some troublemaker
knocked my phone away before I could respond.”
Isabella looked around and saw no signs of trouble.
It turned out that everything had already been
taken care of.
Natasha put her arm around Isabella’s shoulder
and led her upstairs. “Since you’re here, come to my

room. We’ll leave together when my shift ends.”
Though Isabella wasn’t too keen on it, she didn’t
want Natasha to think she looked down on places
like this, so she silently followed her.
Natasha took Isabella to the third floor but didn’t
take her to a room.
“Dariel brought some people over, so I need to
meet him downstairs. Go to my room by yourself.
It’s the one at the end with my nameplate.”
Not wanting to trouble her, Isabella agreed. “Alright,
you go ahead.”
Natasha swiftly descended the stairs, clearly not
wanting to offend someone named Dariel.

Meanwhile, Isabella walked to the end of the
corridor and approached Natasha’s room, which
had a large “M” engraved on the door. However, she
realized she had forgotten to ask for the room’s
password. With no other option, she decided to
wait, assuming Natasha wouldn’t be gone for long.
The luxurious carpet beneath her feet felt
expensive. She estimated that its cost could cover
the expense of a new bathroom. So, she took a few
steps and felt more at ease. Soon, she heard
hurried footsteps coming up the stairs, seemingly
from more than one person.
Isabella intentionally turned away, not wanting to
recognize anyone or be recognized.

To her surprise, the footsteps drew closer until they
were right behind her. Unable to contain her
curiosity, Isabella turned around, only to be met
with a glass of strong liquor thrown in her face.
“You wretch, trying to seduce my husband, are
you? Do you want to die?!”
If it weren’t for the liquor stinging her eyes, Isabella
would have asked the person responsible why she
was behaving like she had caught her husband’s
mistress.
Before Isabella could react, the woman slapped
her, causing her to lose her balance and fall
backward.

“What are you waiting for? Get to it!” The woman,
clearly unsatisfied with dousing Isabella with liquor
and slapping her, swung her purse at Isabella’s
head and even enlisted her friends to join in.
Shocked and bewildered, Isabella tried to reason
with them while shielding her head. “You’ve got the
wrong person! I’m just waiting for someone.”
However, her pleas fell on deaf ears as the women
attacked her like a pack of frenzied dogs, verbally
assaulting and physically targeting Isabella’s face.
One of them slapped Isabella, causing her ears to
ring.
Isabella curled up, protecting her head and
enduring the chaotic onslaught of insults and

“What are you doing?” A male voice intervened, abruptly stopping the women’s onslaught. Their
rapid and intense pounding stopped abruptly.
