unified greeting, accompanied by a bow.
Isabella and Seth exchanged awkward glances.
This situation was incredibly uncomfortable.
Isabella subtly moved away from Seth, trying to create some distance between
them.
Seth noticed her movement, grabbed her arm, and looked at the people blocking

drag you back!”
Bang!
Isabella closed the door.
Seth was speechless. He turned around to find the old butler and a group of
servants
staring at him. “Don’t you have anything to do?”
Everyone quickly got busy.
Upstairs, Isabella returned to her room, and her heartbeat echoed in her ears.
She
leaned against the door, raised her wrist, and gently shook it under the crystal
lamp.
The overflowing glow of blue was mesmerizing.
Indeed, jewelry could alleviate a woman's troubles.
She was really angry this afternoon, but now, after thinking about it, Seth wasn't
entirely
unforgivable.
She had compromised her principles.
She touched the gem with one hand and sat down on the bed.
Her phone beeped, indicating a message from Joey.

He was innocent, and Isabella felt a bit guilty because he had done nothing.
“Isabella, I'm back in Bleaktown.’
“I must have scared you today; I'm sorry.’

Isabella held her phone with complicated emotions. She had found it strange last
time;
why was Joey so accepting of her past? She hadn't expected this reason behind
it.

After she sent the message, Joey replied and put an end to this absurd incident.
As she remained in bed, she inadvertently raised her hand again, and the image

throwing the box at her flashed in her mind.
