Loveless Marriage

Isabella didn't know whether she should be happy or sad.

When they got married, Christian was particularly reluctant and added many marital conditions. But now, when she was willing to get divorce, he was unhappy again, which just confused her a lot. Next morning, Isabella went to the bank and withdrew the money.

The 5 million cash filled two bags, which were a bit heavy. Isabella then directly went to the lawyer's office. "Mr. Taylor, here is 5 million. It should be enough. My father's case depends on you."The lawyer counted the cash and was relieved as well. "Yes, it's enough. We just need to pay the illicit money. I'll defend your father as best I can."

"Thank you." Isabella didn't know what to say, but thanked him repeatedly.

She was really grateful that her father knew such a good lawyer, who was still willing to take a case like this. Otherwise, she would have enough trouble just finding a lawyer. "Isabella, Mr. Smith wants to see you in his office."

Just as Isabella returned to the company, she received a call from the CEO office. She then hurriedly went to Mr. Smith's office, and found that it was about a collaboration project.

Their company had a cooperative project with an investment giant, the Polygon Group. The negotiation would be held next Wednesday. However, as their representative was now lying in the hospital due to ectopic pregnancy, they wanted to send Isabella there.

"Me? Mr. Smith, you're kidding me! " Isabella pulled a wry face, "I just know how to deal with data, but you asked me to negotiate. Isn't that just like throwing me under the bus? I've never done this before." "Don't worry. I would let someone to accompany you. Just do what the contract says." Mr. Smith smiled: "If there's anyone has a better eloquence than you in our company, I wouldn't be in such a pickle." Mr. Smith showed the temptation before Isabella could say anything, "I'll give you twenty thousand dollars If you go, and your travel expenses will be reimbursed as well."

Tempt her by money? Very impressive.

Unfortunately, it happened that she lacked money!

"Mr. Smith, please make sure someone books my flight." Isabella took the contract from Mr. Smith. It was just a negotiation, and at least she attended a few when she worked as an interpreter, so she knew some business terms.

The bonus was enough for her mother and her for three months.

Back to her office, Isabella briefly looked at the cooperative project. Out of professional habit, she Googled the Polygon Group.

It was an investment company in Leeds City developed within four years, and spent no more than two years listing overseas. Now it had purchased Tate Building, which worth tens of millions.

Isabella was a bit shocked.

"Developed within four years", it must either be the rich second-generation or a big shot!

Longing for seeing who this big shot was, Isabella drooped down the web page, then her phone rang. She casually grabbed and answered it.

"Luke, I was just about to call you as well. Let me treat you and Rachel dinner tonight."

Luke laughed: "Looks like I made the right call. Okay, what time do you get off? I'll pick you up."

"Five thirty."

After hanging up, her mind went blank while she staring at the computer interface. Then she muttered: "What was I going to just now? Ah, Ages, and memory decay!"

As she couldn't remember it, she stopped thinking and turned to busy other stuff.

After work, Luke came to pick Isabella up and drove to a restaurant named "Red House". When they were having dinner, Isabella noticed that Rachel kept playing the cell phone without talking so much with Luke, and she became a little curious.

"Luke, why doesn't she talk?"

Luke patted Rachel's head and smiled bitterly: "Rachel has autism."
