Chapter 471 Thank You
After breakfast, only Victoria appeared pleased.

Isabella had to force herself to eat during the meal. She didn’t want to listen carefully to what Victoria was saying, especially in front of the stern and cold-faced Seth. The difference in their backgrounds was too obvious, and every word reminded her not to hold onto unrealistic fantasies.
Seth also felt uncomfortable. On one hand, he didn’t want to offend Victoria, but on the other hand, he felt that everything she said was nonsense!
The only thing that made him happy was that she had sobered up and urged them to return to Imperia that day.
“Mom, | want to stay with you a little longer,” said Isabella.
“There’s no need. I’m fine,” Victoria reassured. As long as she didn’t have an episode,

she was just like any other person, constantly urging them to leave.
Isabella knew that Seth couldn’t stay in Bleaktown for long. Even if Victoria hadn’t mentioned it, he would have had to leave that very day.
“Then, I'll come back to see you in a couple of days.”
“There's no need to.”
Victoria stood at the entrance of the sanatorium and insisted on watching Isabella get in the car.
Isabella had no choice but to call Joey to pick her up. When they met, Seth snorted coldly in the car.
Joey was a smart man. He exchanged a glance with Isabella, didn’t say more than necessary, and coaxed Victoria back into the sanatorium.

Finally, the car started, and Isabella heard Seth let out a sigh of relief.
“| apologize for the delay.”
Seth’s displeasure had nothing to do with the time. He simply felt that Victoria was oppressive, and it led him to think about Isabella’s upbringing.
He couldn't help but look back at her. “What was your childhood like?”
Isabella didn’t understand what he meant and said lightly, “When | was little, my mother was quite normal, not like she is now.”
She leaned back in her seat, reminiscing about her childhood, and added, “Then on day, she suddenly didn’t recognize me anymore and locked me outside, saying | wasn’t her daughter.”
Distant memories rushed back to her mind, and the lingering fear in her bones instantly 3/6

stirred up negative emotions. She took a deep breath and barely managed to suppress hér emotions.
Seth averted his gaze, feeling irritated.
He could sense that Victoria meant more to Isabella than anything else. There was no doubt Isabella would truly listen to her mother and one day, she might casually marry anyone.
“If you were asked to marry Nicolas, would you be willing?”
Isabella was taken aback by his question. “Nicolas?”
She gave a wry smile. “Mr. Shaffer, did you take my mom’s words seriously?”
He sure knew how to get things done.
Seth muttered something inexplicable and then suddenly fell silent.

The atmosphere grew silent. Isabella felt oppressed, so she turned around and close her eyes to rest.
Around half past ten a.m., the car arrived in the city of Imperia.
Seth had someone send Isabella back to the mansion, as he had other matters to attend to.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Before he got out of the car, Isabella spoke up in a serious tone, “Thank you, Mr. Shaffer.”
Seth frowned. He sensed a negative vibe and found himself unable to look aw her.
The car door closed, and he lingered there for a moment until Jordan came up to remind him.
“Mr. Shaffer, Mr. Klenns is waiting.”

Inside the car, Isabella couldn't quite catch Seth's words. She didn’t bother lifting her
head and could only see his shirt.
The next moment, Seth let go of the door handle and walked straight to the car in front.
There were four cars in total, which formed two groups that went in opposite directions.
Isabella sat in the car, recalling what Victoria and Spencer had said. Her expression
remained calm, and her thoughts were even more collected.
