Leave Me Alone, Mr Shaffer

Chapter 190

Straightening her back, Isabella remained on her knees and bowed her head,

speaking in a slow, peaceful tone, “I apologize for my earlier irrational

behavior.”

Seth tapped his fingers on his knee and confronted her directly, “You only

decided to apologize after careful consideration and realizing that you can’t

offend me, right?”

Isabella didn’t deny it, nodding. “You’re the only one in the entire city who can

save me.”

Snorting, he smirked. “You’ve misunderstood. I have no intention of saving

you.”

Raising her head, she wiped away the tears in her eyes with a determined

gaze. “As a businessman, your first concern is profit. When you judge a

person, I believe you don’t only consider whether she is good enough to be

useful only in bed.” She was straightforward and didn’t even spare herself

from the insult, intriguing his curiosity. He cast her a glance, and she

continued, “I’ve been working by your side for five years, and you know better

than anyone else about my abilities.”

With her head held high, she met his gaze with a fire burning in her eyes. “Am

I only good enough to be a mistress?”

He was silent as he recalled her achievements in the past five years. Without

even thinking in detail, he knew exactly how much she had accomplished.

However, because of their relationship, he always prioritized private matters

over work, easily overlooking her capabilities.

“So, what if you’re a little more capable?” Looking away, he put on an

indifferent face with no intention of giving in.

Silently, she exhaled and repeated every word from the script she had

prepared earlier. “Shaffer Group hasn’t achieved anything in the car

manufacturing business and has only been involved in reselling, which is not

noteworthy. I saw your ten-year plan when you took this position, and it

includes car manufacturing. If you start from scratch, it will require a

significant amount of manpower and resources. That is not the best path to

take.”

Narrowing his eyes, he didn’t seem interested in her words and said calmly,

“So, what do you want?”

“An opportunity is right in front of you. As long as Shaffer Group can acquire it,

you can immediately have your own achievement in car manufacturing,” she

said.

Seth’s eyes turned cold, and he chuckled. “You mean Nemotors?”

Nodding, Isabella felt more confident when she saw him chuckling and

continued, “I have a voice recording of Nemotors’ misconduct. Once it’s

released, regardless of the truth behind it, the shares of Nemotors will

undoubtedly plummet. All you have to do is give it a small push, and

acquiring Nemotors will be a piece of cake.”

He leaned closer and couldn’t help but hold her chin, scrutinizing her from left

to right. “I have to admit that you’re not just a pretty face. I thought you were

completely clueless.”

Isabella’s eyes wavered, and she didn’t even dare to breathe loudly as she

continued with her plan. Lifting her chin, she said, “Speed is essential in war.

Nemotors probably already knows that I have the recording. After they failed

to kill me, they must have other tactics up their sleeves.”

“Oh? Go on,” Seth prompted.

Isabella clenched her jaw. “I can give you the recording now.”

A snort escaped his lips, and he tossed her chin to the side. “So, you’re here to

make a deal with me.”

“You haven’t asked me what I want.”

“Out with it.”

“Safety,” she blurted, scrutinizing the change in his expression before

reluctantly adding, “And also a sum of money.”

Frowning, he seemed displeased. “Are you in such desperate need of Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

money?”

Since the day they got together, no matter when it was, every time he gave

her the chance to make a demand, it was always money that she asked for.

He couldn’t understand what this woman was going to do with so much

money.

“My mother is in a nursing home. If I can strike this deal with you, I plan to go

abroad with her.” Without hiding the truth, she told him her plan, looking at

him with clear eyes.

Everything became clear to him. “Did you come here this evening to visit your

mother?”

She weakly nodded. “My mother has a mental illness, and it has been acting

There was no response from Seth, and the room fell silent. After a long while,

he stood up. “Give the recording to Jordan.”

“Now?”

“Yes.”

But Isabella was worried. “Then-”

Spinning in the rotating chair, he avoided her gaze and said coldly, “Don’t try

to negotiate with me. I’ll only consider your request afterward.”

Licking her dry lips, she got up from the floor. “I understand.”

She turned around and put away the first aid box. Instead of leaving

immediately, she took out two bottles of prescriptions, prepared the dosage,

followed by a glass of water, and placed them next to Seth. “You haven’t

taken your medication yet, Mr. Shaffer.”

Seth merely glanced at her from the corner of his eyes and ignored her

because he didn’t think medication was necessary for such a small injury.

-Sighing, she picked up the medication and brought it to his lips. “Your image

is one of the company’s intangible assets.”

With a snort, Seth lowered his head and quickly swallowed the pills. Taking

the water from her hands, he drank it in one gulp before setting down the

glass. “You can leave now.”
