I Quit, Mr. Shaffer

Isabella never imagined that she could discuss her past with Joey calmly, let alone receive a nonchalant smile from him.

“| appreciate your honesty,” he said.

Isabella forced a bitter smile. “There’s no need to hide. Imperia is neither big nor small. Although you can hide it for some time, you can’t hide it forever.”

Joey nodded, and his eyes flickered slightly. “You're right.” He stood up from his seat across from Isabella. After a moment of hesitation, he said, “I have something to tell you as well.”

Isabella was taken aback. Then, she smiled and said, “I just had a moment of stupidity. You don’t have to take it so seriously.”

Joey shook his head. “It’s better to clarify some things from the beginning.”

Jusy

Hearing his tone, Isabella sensed that it was important, so she took it seriously.

Just as Joey was about to speak, a loud honking sound interrupted them. Isabella was startled. She turned around and saw a black Bentley parked nearby, with the driver honking incessantly.

Joey stopped talking and asked Isabella, “Is that your friend?”

Isabella twitched her mouth and was unsure of how to respond for a moment.

The car had Seth’s license plate, but she wasn’t sure if he was inside.

Just as she hesitated, the car window suddenly rolled down. Seth’s face came into view, and Isabella was surprised.

Although Seth didn’t get out of the car, his intention was clear.

“Aren't you going?” Joey asked.

Isabella was already upset in the morning. Now, she was being stubborn, so she simply stood up.

“Let's walk a bit more.”

Joey was surprised, but he soon smiled and glanced into the car. Then, he followed Isabella as she walked ahead.

On the other hand, Seth sat in the car and watched the duo walk further and further away in disbelief.

Indeed, courage can be cultivated.

He closed his eyes and ordered the driver, “Follow them.”

The driver was confused but quickly complied.

The scene was peculiar.

Isabella was walking under the shade of the trees, accompanied by Joey, with a group of black cars trailing behind. Those who walked by stole glances and wondered if Isabella was someone from a wealthy family out for a leisurely stroll.

Isabella was stubborn, and so was Seth.

This strange scene continued for an hour and a half.

Finally, Joey put an end to it. “Isabella, you should go back and rest. Your feet aren't suitable for walking for too long.”

Isabella couldn’t help but curse inwardly. She took a sneak glance at the black car behind her. If it weren’t for that idiot, | wouldn’t have walked for so long.

Joey walked over, patted her shoulder, and said, “Get in the car. He’s been waiting for a Chapter 447 Joey Is Quite Something

long time.”

Isabella was surprised and confused about his intentions.

“What were you going to tell me earlier?”

“| guess we won't be able to discuss it today. Can we arrange another meeting?” Isabella felt a bit disappointed but agreed without much thought. She held her breath and was unwilling to accommodate Seth.

Unexpectedly, Joey turned and walked toward the black car, opening the door for Isabella.

Seth frowned, and Isabella was puzzled.

“Sir, Isabella’s feet aren’t in great condition. She needs to rest.” 5/6

Isabella stood by the car and heard Joey greet Seth.

Inside the car, Seth instinctively wanted to retort. However, when he saw Isabella's face,

he felt it would be embarrassing to say such a thing, and this feeling of frustration made him very uncomfortable.

He remained silent, and Isabella didn’t hesitate for too long before getting into the car.

Then, Joey personally closed the door for them.

The atmosphere was indescribably harmonious.

The journey back home was silent. Neither of them uttered a word.

Upon arriving at the villa, Isabella ignored Seth and went straight to her room.

Seth got out of the car with a cold expression and stormed into the main hall. Hearing Isabella slam her door shut, he let out an incredulous chuckle. Then, he walked up the stairs and slammed his own door shut.

The entire villa was filled with unease.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Isabella returned to her room, opened her laptop, and reviewed the files Phoebe ha sent her. Then, inexplicably, she called for a meeting, leaving the entire managem team bewildered by her sudden inspection. Eventually, when the meeting could no

longer continue and they could only stare at each other in silence, Isabella finally put an

end to the chaos.
