Seth returned to Imperia without attracting any media attention, yet somehow, Dariel
and his crew got wind of the news. Before lunch ended, the sound of car engines could.
be heard outside the villa.
As soon as the door opened, a clamor of voices filled the room. At that moment,
Isabella was feeding a small bun to Seth.
Dariel clicked his tongue and remarked, “Oh, if being injured means receiving such
pampering, I wouldn’t mind getting hurt a few times.”
He always had a sharp tongue, and Isabella didn’t bother responding. Unfortunately, the
room was crowded with people, including Leonard and Simon. The men were making a
racket, creating a chaotic atmosphere.
Before long, Courtney and Bloom arrived, followed by Ariana. Isabella couldn’t tolerate it

any longer and stood up. She put her stuff down and was about to leave.
Seth, who was conversing with Dariel, saw her get up and grabbed her arm. “Where are
you going?”
Everyone fell silent.
Isabella was taken aback. “I’m going to get some drinks.”
“Indeed, it’s good to have a woman at home. Otherwise, some people wouldn’t even
bother to entertain guests,” Courtney joked, looking at Isabella. “I’ll have juice.”
Bloom, standing nearby, chimed in, “Me too.”
Isabella nodded, then turned to Ariana. Ariana’s face remained calm, as if the previous
office friction had never occurred.

“Iced americano. Thank you.”
Isabella forced a smile but felt speechless inside. She was simply being polite, yet
some people were acting as if they were ordering in a restaurant.
With so many people in the room, she left with a composed expression. She was
deliberately lingering in the kitchen, as she knew that returning upstairs would only lead
to awkward conversations.
While making coffee, someone knocked on the marble counter behind her. Isabella
turned around and found herself looking into Simon’s eyes.
“So, slacking off?”
Isabella felt a bit embarrassed and made an excuse, “The barista said it tastes better if
you wait a bit longer.”

“You should just sit upstairs and let the servants bring it up.” Simon walked around the
counter and found drinks in the large refrigerator.
He took out two bottles of cider, handed one to Isabella, and then leaned against the
counter next to her. “You don’t like Ariana?”
Isabella was surprised and straightened up, not expecting Simon to notice.
Simon shrugged and clinked his bottle against hers. “You don’t have to be afraid of her.”
Isabella sighed, “I’m not scared.” She simply didn’t want to deal with people like that.
The little fight felt like a whole scheme that would only happen in a TV drama. She
lowered her eyelids and bit her lip.
Simon turned his face toward her and whispered, “You don’t have to do much. Just
feed Seth a piece of fruit in front of her, and it’ll drive her crazy.”

Isabella laughed and looked at him, “Isn’t that a bit too petty?”
Simon raised an eyebrow and took a sip of his drink. Just then, the juice and coffee
were ready. Isabella was about to retrieve them, but Simon beat her to it.
“Let’s go.”
Isabella composed herself and followed him out. As soon as they left the kitchen, they
saw Bloom standing at the staircase.
Bloom took a juice from the tray and asked, “Did you squeeze this yourself?” Why did
you take so long? Or that was the implied message.
Isabella knew that Bloom was interested in Simon and didn’t want to get involved, so
she remained silent.
Simon didn’t respond and walked into the room with the juice. Bloom pursed her lips

and turned to look at Isabella.
Isabella gave her a small smile, but inside, she felt speechless, inexplicably dragged
into a new whirlpool.
Upon entering the room, she noticed that Ariana had taken her seat.
