When they got to the house, Adeline ran downstairs to welcome them.

She hugged Isabelle and examined her body before asking, “hope you didn't get hurt?”

Isabelle was surprised by her mother's reaction, she expected her mother to be angry and shout at them.

Isabelle smiled, then said, “I'm fine, I don't know how Sebastien did it but he really helped me”

“I think you should thank him instead and on the bright side we were able to get the money from romero pierson” Isabelle turned to look at Sebastien with a huge grin on her face.

Adeline couldn't believe what Isabelle said, there's no way that a retard like Sebastien could save her daughter from a mafia gangster. “That isn't possible. Isn't it this Sebastien that isn't even capable of protecting himself not to talk of protecting another person”

“Mum, I was there and I know what I saw. And because of Sebastien they obeyed us and gave us the money and even added extra interest” she raised the suitcase and showed her mother.

    Later that night Isabelle's phone rang, she picked it up and took a look at the call ID, it was Sebastien. She then answered the call with a smile on her face. “How are you feeling now?” His smooth voice was the first thing she heard. His voice always made her fall deeper in love with him. If that was even possible. “I've told you I'm fine, Sebastien.” Isabelle tried to assure him. “Thanks for your help earlier today, you still haven't told me how you did it but I'm sure we didn't get hurt because of you” “Hmm. Like I said earlier, at the right time. You'll know. Right now let's focus on securing the deal with Chesterfield investment company. We really need to get this deal” Isabelle nodded, forgetting for a moment that he wasn't there with her. “Yes. But how can we do that in such a short time frame? We have just today and tomorrow!” Isabelle wanted nothing more but to see Miranda being put to shame but at the same time the possibility of Isabelle getting the investment was ver

In no time they were done with what they came to do and Isabelle took a look at the mirror and she was impressed because of how good the make up made her look.After that, the beauticians left and Adeline came into the room with some boxes. Isabelle was surprised when she saw the labels on those boxes. Those were designer products and they weren't extremely expensive. “Mum! How did you get that?” She couldn't help but ask because she knew with their current financial situation there was no way that her mother would have been able to purchase products from prestige brand.

    Sebastian was hurt by their actions, but deep down he had a feeling that Isabelle would not betray him. He knew that no matter what, she would stay by his side. If she was with him when he was handicapped, how much more now that he is hale and hearty. His phone rang and he picked it up, it was the man he was supposed to have a meeting with concerning the Chesterfield investment deal. “Good day sir. So we have scheduled the meeting for tomorrow as you earlier requested, just wanted to confirm if it's fine with you” the man said.“No. Let's have the meeting today” Sebastian said with so much authority. He had earlier planned on telling Isabelle about his meeting plans with some of the officials in Chesterfield investment group but since she had other plans he was just going to carry on without her.There's no time to waste.“The luxe, 10am. Don't be late” Sebastien gave out orders.“Alright sir” And the call ended abruptly. ************Meanwhile, Isabelle and her parents were gettin

    Adeline fumed in anger, as she who the hell gave Sebastien access to this prestigious restaurant. Not only that but he was also suggesting Isabelle joined him on the seventh floor!“Keep your filthy offer to yourself! Tell me, how did you get access to this restaurant?” Adeline said bitterly, everything was going well, everyone was getting along just fine and Sebastien just had to come at this time. She was so livid!Isabelle was surprised, the seventh floor was even more expensive and more extravagant than this floor they were currently on. The higher the floors the more expensive and classy they became. This made Isabelle question once again, who Sebastien truly is.Sebastien smiled warmly, “oh, you hurt my feelings with your words and I couldn't care less. All I doing is asking your daughter if she'll come along with me to the seventh floor”“What sort of joke is this, Sebastien. If you can't respect us, why don't you respect the family seated on the same table as us. Just go back

    Meanwhile,At Roland's mansion, Miranda was pressuring him as they had not made any progress since the previous day. They hadn't received any feedback from Chesterfield investment company. Miranda paced to and fro the large living room, she couldn't bear the thought of not being able to secure the deal and losing out on the chance of becoming the next heir. Isabelle had already succeeded in getting the debt from Romero, who knows how long it'll take her to secure the deal too.Miranda glared at Roland who was sitting on the couch with his legs crossed at the ankle, “you aren't even doing anything! Aren't you supposed to be as bothered as I am right now. Or don't you know whatever happens will also affect you as much as it'll affect me”“But what do you want me to do? Or rather what do you expect me to do? I have already submitted the application to the company and all I await is feedback” Roland answered her calmly. “How long do we have to wait for feedback!

    At Roland's mansion;It was almost midnight and Miranda and Roland were yet to have feedback from the Chesterfield investment company. They were starting to wonder if their letter even got delivered to the higher ups in the company. “Are you sure you didn't give the letter to an ordinary secretary at the company?!” Miranda questioned for the thousandth time. Roland, knowing fully well that he submitted the letter just like any other person would have, still nodded to assure her that he gave the letter to someone with a more significant position in the company. Which isn't true. “Babe, I'm sure of what I'm telling you. Just relax, we'll get feedback soon” Roland said that to also assure himself, all he was holding on to now was just hope.“It's almost 12 am. How long do we have to wait?” Miranda asked tiredly. She had high hopes at first but now it is slowly melting away.Roland pulled her closer to him and placed her on his laps, her legs hanging on either side of his, so she was s

I really need your help.” Roland said frantically. It was almost dawn and they still hadn't gotten any notification from Chesterfield investment company. Miranda was out on an errand so this was the perfect time to make this call. “What do you need?” His friend questioned, wondering why Roland was sounding this way.“I need your signature. I want to forge a partnership agreement and you are the only person that can help me” Roland said, his friend, Leo, who is a lawyer is the only person capable of bailing him out of this situation. “Hold on! Hold on! I do think I'll be able to do that, I can get my certificate revoked if anyone finds out. Sorry bro, but that's too risky” Leo quickly backed away, he couldn't bear the thought of losing a certificate he spent more than five years schooling to get.“No, just listen to me. There's n

She was extremely terrified. “Sebastien, this is worse than I thought. There are gangsters causing issues at the company. The entrance is blocked and everything has come to a halt. We are in dire need of help” Adeline rambled as soon as Sebastien picked up the call. “Calm down,” Sebastien said, “I would be there shortly. In the meantime, stay safe” Sebastien said, then the call ended after he assured Adeline that everything would be fine. Sebastien knew there was nothing he could do from home and he needed to see for himself what was really going on. So, he prepared to head over to the hunt’s resource company.

Adeline picked up her phone and dialed Sebastien’s number, “have you seen what is on the news?” She asked immediately Sebastien picked up the call. “What is wrong?” Sebastien asked, noticing the worry in her voice. He had been busy the entire morning so he hadn’t even gone through social media or turned on the television. “There is a malicious article against the Hunt’s resource company” Adeline exclaimed. “Calm down,” Sebastien said over the phone to stop Adeline from panicking a whole lot. “I would check the news now and I would s

Adeline was so pleased by the company’s growth and she was very proud that the company was headed by her. In fact, she boasted about the company whenever she was in the midst of her friends.Adeline had earlier asked Sebastien if there was any form of promotion or advertisement that he was providing the resource company with but Sebastien told her that there wasn’t any. The total profit made by the company that month was ten million dollars which was double of what they made the previous month. **************Romero Pierson, motivated by the sum of money promised to him by Tony Wilson, gathered a few of his subordinates and began to issue orders to them. “Welcome everyone, I believe you are all aware of the hunt’s resource company and how in the last two months they have managed to monopoliz

Any problem with that?” “Not at all. Just that she hasn’t stopped ringing it in my ears that she is the head of such a fast rising company and I’m sure her friends are also suffering the same thing” Isabelle said.Sebastien chuckled, “well, that is great news then.” Isabelle nodded in agreement with Sebastien, “yeah, I haven’t seen her this happy in a while. It seems like this is something she always wanted” Isabelle said. Truly, after Isabelle’s father travelled out of the country. There was a terrible decline in Adeline’s business and that led to it eventually folding up because she was running at a loss. “I’m glad to have been able to offer that to her,” Sebastien said calmly. “Thank you so much!” Isabelle said with a huge grin planted on her face. “But, you still didn’t tell me how you were able to acquire the

Miranda on the other hand was glad when three weeks passed without her hearing of any attempt from Isabelle. Miranda felt so pleased with herself at the fact that she had managed to get away with what she did, unscathed. Isabelle majorly decided to take a break from the entire issue because she wouldn’t want to lose her job because of Miranda or make master Wilson angry. **********************Tony Wilson’s heart skipped a beat when his phone rang for the fifth time within two minutes, he checked the caller Id and saw that it was a call from the company he took a loan from earlier.

And to add to all that, Isabelle knew master Wilson’s view of her had changed drastically. Sebastien tried to console Isabelle all through the journey back to their mansion because he knew Isabelle was feeling really terrible about the whole thing which was understandable. Isabelle kept on trying to retrieve the video but she wasn’t still able to get it. She began doubting if master Wilson would give her a second chance to prove that Miranda was just pretending. ******************Master Wilson walked into Miranda’s bedroom later that evening.

Isabelle just kept on checking out of instinct because she still found it surreal that they had managed to catch Miranda on live camera. “Okay, let me see what you have managed to gather,” Master Wilson said, after they explained to him that they had gotten concrete evidence. Miranda stood at the top of the stairs, her heart racing within her chest as she eavesdropped on the conversation Isabelle and Sebastien were having with master Wilson.Miranda watched as Isabelle brought out a small shiny substance and she immediately knew that it was her ring!She couldn’t believe that she was so careless that she didn’t think of the fact that they

    Chapter 134: heated moment

    Chapter 134Isabelle was so disturbed at work the next day because she had gotten a text from Violet very early that morning. Violet had complained about Miranda sending her a message, requesting for her assistance. Violet said Miranda didn’t mention the form of assistance she needed, but she added a threatening message warning Violet that she would face severe consequences if she refused the offer. Or tries to avoid her further. At the time Violet was mentioning this to Isabelle, she hadn’t replied to Miranda’s message and Isabelle wasn’t sure if she would have replied now. Isabelle placed a finger on the bridge of her nose as she drew in a deep breath. Isabelle was instantly filled with guilt as she realised that Violet is going through all these now because of her involvement. Maybe if she hadn’t accepted to become the head of department, Violet wouldn’t have been dragged into all this mess. It was Friday, and the last day of the week. So, Isabelle made up her mind to visit mas
