Chapter 76

Isabelle thrashed about in her sleep, “help me, help me, help me….” She muttered continuously.

Sebastien who was seated beside the bed was alarmed when he heard her voice and saw her thrashing about, he presumed she was having a nightmare and rushed to her side.

“It's okay. I'm here, I'm here” he said softly caressing her shoulder.

Isabelle's eyes fluttered open and she sat up on the bed, she sat up on the bed and stretched.

As she stared at Sebastien who was sitting beside her she recalled the event of the previous day.

“Hey. How are you?” Sebastien asked her, taking his time to study her countenance.

Isabelle didn't reply to him.

“Are you hungry? Should I get you something to eat?” He tried again but still didn't get any response.

Isabelle just stared at him.

“Thank you for saving me” she finally said after a while.

Isabelle gazed downwards

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

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

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.

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
