Chapter 219
Isabella had just left the restroom when Selena, limping due to her injured leg, rushed
out, completely disregarding the occasion. Isabella hurried, intending to have the
security guard keep an eye on this erratic woman, but she bumped into Seth just
around the corner.
She was slightly wet, her hair a bit disheveled, and appeared rather flustered.
Seth, accompanied by Jordan, seemed to have come specifically to find Isabella.
Seeing her in such a state, he couldn’t help but frown.
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t you know where you are?”
No sooner had he finished speaking than hurried footsteps followed.
Selena, dragging her blood-stained leg, ran out with a pale face. As soon as she saw
Seth, tears immediately welled up in her eyes

Isabella felt a sinking feeling in her heart. Given the current situation, she couldn’t
explain herself clearly. Judging from Seth’s attitude toward Selena, he was likely to side

with her.
Sure enough, before Selena could speak, a flash of surprise crossed Seth’s eyes.
“What happened?”

Selena sobbed intermittently, her eyes bloodshot as she glared at Isabella, accusing her
directly. “I accidentally spilled water on Isabella, and in her anger, she pushed me into a
pile of debris.”
Isabella gritted her teeth. This girl is truly skilled at lying without hesitation and
completely fearless.
Considering the special occasion today, she couldn’t afford to waste time on this tri
matter.
She turned to Seth, meeting his stern gaze. “Mr. Shaffer, I can explain later. Now is not
the time to deal with this. Please-”
“You don’t need to remind me of that.” Seth interrupted Isabella bluntly, his face
expressionless.

Isabella was at a loss for words and silently closed her mouth.
Selena continued to sob, sniffing. “Mr. Shaffer, I-‘
“Take her out.” Seth ignored Selena and directly ordered Jordan.
Selena was taken aback, not expecting this outcome. She maintained her sobbing
posture, looking rather ridiculous.
At Seth’s command, Jordan showed no mercy. He grabbed Selena’s wrist and roughly
led her toward the back door.
Selena wanted to cry out, but Jordan covered her mouth..
Only the sound of footsteps remained in the corridor. Isabella looked back at the blood
on the floor and wanted to clean it up with a mop.
“What are you doing?”
“Mopping the floor.”

“Are you a janitor?”
Isabella was speechless.
Seth frowned, looking impatient. He scanned Isabella from head to toe. “I spent the
afternoon making you look presentable, and you ruined it in five minutes.”
Isabella swallowed. “I’m sorry. I’ll freshen up.
He sighed, looking back. “Five minutes.”
She felt as if she had been pardoned, and she hurried back to the restroom.
Once she closed the door, she held her chest, panting heavily.
She knew Seth well. He was not a “tyrant,” but when Selena distorted the truth just now,”
she genuinely panicked.
Fortunately, Seth was still Seth. He wouldn’t let anyone influence his judgment.
She suppressed her mixed feelings of joy and sorrow, quickly took off the jewelry

around her neck, wet her hair with water, and tidied herself up.
Unfortunately, the “cloak” was no longer wearable, as it was soaked. Luckily, the dress
underneath was still dry.
Standing in front of the mirror, Isabella turned around to make sure there were no
issues, except that her back was a bit too exposed..
She wasn’t accustomed to wearing such revealing clothes at parties.
Impatient knocking came from outside the door. It was obviously Seth.
Isabella put on her necklace, lifted her dress, and opened the door.
Outside the door, Seth stood with one hand in his pocket, looking displeased. He first
scanned Isabella from head to toe to make sure she was okay.
“Come with me.”
He uttered these three words without any further conversation and turned to leave.

Isabella breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed him.
Outside, the spotlights were on, and it was the peak of the party. Many people were
waiting for them.
As they were about to reach the crowd, Seth suddenly stopped.
Isabella couldn’t stop in time and bumped her nose directly into Seth’s back.
She cried out in pain, holding her nose and looking up, her eyes meeting Seth’s as he
turned around.
He asked, “Where’s your cloak?”
Isabella was taken aback. Then, she realized what he meant and instinctively covered.
her back with her hands.
“It’s wet. I can’t wear it.”
“Only your cloak got wet?” The man questioned.

Isabella helplessly replied, “The cloak blocked the water; otherwise, my whole body
would have-”
Before she could finish explaining, Seth took a step back and smoothly took off his
black suit jacket.
Isabella was startled and waved her hands. “Mr. Shaffer, it’s not necessary. I’m not
cold.” NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
“What does it matter to me if you’re cold?” Seth lifted his eyelids, his voice icy. “There
will be journalists from the official media coming soon. Do you not care about the
company’s image if you appear on camera dressed like this?”
Isabella was left utterly speechless. She forced a smile, awkwardly accepting the coat.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t think it through.”
