Chapter 144
Angelina noticed that Isabella was in a lot of pain. She saw the sweat on
Isabella’s forehead and couldn’t help but snort. She grabbed her notebook
and said, “Fine, I’ll find someone else.” She stormed out of the room and
slammed the door shut.
Once Isabella was sure that Angelina had left, she slowly opened her eyes,
trembling. The small movements she made earlier caused pain in her
wounded legs, almost unbearable. Isabella must have noticed. Her leaving

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIsabella barely had anything for breakfast and skipped lunch. It had been
almost fifteen hours since her last proper meal. At this rate, she would break.
Isabella hung her head low, resting it on the table as she tried to come up
with an escape plan. Eventually, she devised a plan and texted a couple of

me due to exhaustion. That’s why I’m having these strange feelings. Isabella
shook her head, feeling her thoughts jumble. She quickly stopped and took a

silently. I hope I actually faint. Those guys outside will be so shocked. Too bad

Nicolas froze, a hint of panic in his eyes as he tried to explain.
Seth didn’t give him a chance. Confidently, he said, “Your phone buzzed right

Nicolas couldn’t say anything. He opened his mouth and reluctantly
explained, “Sir, she just wanted me to investigate the person who dealt with
