I Quit Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons ) Chapter 139

Chapter 139

Abigail had been involved in the game of love for many years. She had

encountered many men like Seth before, but he was the first to speak so

harshly to her. She was momentarily stunned, her eyes adorned with red

eyeshadow, finally revealing a touch of genuine pity.

Everyone was shocked. While they believed she deserved it, they remained

silent out of fear of Seth’s anger.

Isabella sat by the bedside, glanced at his expression, and mentally cursed

Abigail.

Despite his cold demeanor, he rarely used such harsh words towards

women. The fact that Abigail could provoke such a reaction was indeed

surprising.

In the dead silence, Jonas was the first to react. He went to pull Abigail aside

and scolded, “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and move away

from Mr. Shaffer.”

Her expression completely collapsed. With a crooked mouth, she burst into

tears on the spot, stomped her foot, and rushed out of the room.

Isabella rolled her eyes, secretly applauding Seth for getting rid of a

nuisance.

“Don’t just stand there, blocking the doorway and hindering the airflow.” Jonas

took the initiative to call everyone, pushing them into the room from Seth’s

side. He carefully leaned against the door.

Alex and Keira exchanged glances. One rolled his eyes, and the other smiled

helplessly as both stood stiffly in the room.

“Isabella is amazing. Even with an injury, she still won against Mr. Shaffer,”

Keira spoke softly, her tone calm and measured, showing no signs of

nervousness.

was only then that Isabella remembered she had indeed won the bet.

Feeling pleasantly surprised, she glanced at Keira. ‘So, what about the prize?”

After uttering those words, a sense of guilt washed over her. She quickly

looked at Seth beside her and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming

his lack of reaction.

“Don’t worry,” Jonas reassured Isabella before Keira could speak. He hurried

over with his head bandaged and kindly added, “The car is for you. You can

pick it up when you’re out of the hospital.”

Isabella was thrilled. Paired with the diminished pain in her leg, she

immediately felt that the gamble she had taken earlier was worthwhile. A

true sense of joy lit up her face, a moment Seth captured as he turned his

head.

The man snorted, shattering the recently lightened mood in the room,

instantly casting a chill over the rejuvenated crowd.

The noise abruptly ceased.

Gordon was displeased and looked at Seth. “What’s the matter? Are you

intentionally trying to kill the vibe?”

Ignoring Gordon, Seth calmly adjusted his cuffs, lifted his head to give a slight

glance at Isabella, and then turned around.

She thought Seth was finally leaving and breathed a sigh of relief. However,

he didn’t reach the room’s door when it swung open.

An unfamiliar-looking man in a suit and dress shoes stood at the doorway.

The man stared blankly for a second when he saw it was Seth. “Mr. Shaffer?”

Seth frowned, not recognizing the man. “Are you from the Shaffer Group?”

The man in the suit stepped back, quickly introducing himself. “I am Jason

Bailey, a performance review specialist subordinate to the Shaffer Group’s

internal control department. Hello, Mr. Shaffer.”

After catching the words “Performance review specialist” from behind,

Isabella immediately felt a sense of impending doom. Her happiness and

enthusiasm disappeared, giving way to alertness and tension.

Seth stood at the doorway, noticed the documents in Jason’s hands, and

asked, “What’s the matter?”

“We received a report.” Jason paused, glanced at the room, and finally fixed

his gaze on Isabella’s face. He slowly and deliberately said, “Miss Symons, a

saleswoman at the 31st generation car dealership under the Shaffer Group, is

suspected of engaging in fraudulent business practices.”

Isabella’s breathing steadied a bit. She had a rough sense of the situation. It

likely had to do with the sales figures that Jonas had quietly linked to her

name, and someone had tipped off. She hadn’t done anything wrong, so

there was no reason to be worried.

In the room, everyone exchanged glances, especially Jonas, who

immediately rushed to the front.

“This must be a mistake. Isabella’s achievements are well-deserved.”

“Sorry, we need to investigate before we can confirm.” Jason pushed his

glasses and looked toward Seth tentatively with an official attitude. “Mr.

Shaffer, we need to take her away for questioning and gather more details.”

Seth pressed his thin lips, neither allowing nor defending Isabella.

To go or not to go was a matter of one word from him.

Everyone waited for his response. Even Gordon didn’t rush to speak, wanting

to see Seth’s stance toward Isabella.

Isabella didn’t act foolishly. She knew Seth’s temperament too well. Business

was business, and nobody was exempt. She stepped off the bed, balancing

on one leg, and politely asked Jason, “Excuse me, could you give me a

moment?”

Jason didn’t dare to overstep, adopting a gentle attitude. “Of course.” After

that, he nodded at Seth and cautiously exited the room.

She didn’t look at Seth but turned to Alex. “Could you help me buy a cane?”

Alex was speechless. He looked at Seth, then at Gordon, not understanding

what these two men were up to. They wanted Isabella to use a cane to

attend an interrogation.
