Chapter 158
Seth’s eyes widened, and he quickly moved backward. However, since he
was seated, it was easy for Isabella to hit him, and the bowl of noodles ended
up covering his head!
The warm soup streamed down his handsome face and soaked his entire
designer suit.
Seth, who was usually aloof and aristocratic, now looked ridiculous with a
plastic bowl on his head.
Isabella had done something significant, and she felt both excited and
fearful. She clenched her fists while maintaining eye contact with him.
Seth was infuriated as he reached to remove the bowl. He still wore an

incredulous expression.
In his nearly twenty-seven years of life, no one, from top to bottom, had
dared to treat him like this.
“Isabella-”
Isabella swallowed hard, and her voice was strained. “If you dare say those
ridiculous things again, there will be a next time!”
Seth’s jaw tightened, and his eyes were filled with rage. He was on the verge-
of losing control and perhaps even strangling her!
The volcanic eruption of anger, which should have been directed entirely at
Isabella, was held back by Seth’s ingrained aristocratic upbringing. He
refused to harm a woman.

He felt utterly stifled as he scanned the room. He chose a target abruptly and
smashed a glass vase on the nightstand onto the floor.
Crash! The shattering sound echoed throughout the room, crisp and
frighteningly clear.
Upon looking at the shards scattered across the floor, Isabella feared she
might face the same fate.
Seth clenched his fists and glared at Isabella, who was hiding the fear in her
eyes. “Isabella, I’ve been too lenient with you.”
Isabella’s fear became evident, but she remained motionless. Every cell in
her body was on high alert.
As the tension lingered, she felt that he was contemplating hitting her.

Suddenly, the door to the ward swung open, and a nurse peeked in.
“Is everything all right?”
Seth didn’t even turn his head and bellowed, “Get lost!”
The nurse was startled. She stood at the door and was uncertain. She
glanced at Isabella and then at Seth’s back.
Having received professional training, the nurse mustered her courage and
asked, “Miss, do you need me to call the police?”
After she finished her sentence, a cold and fierce gaze shot her way.
Isabella was concerned about involving others, so she spoke reluctantly.
“Sorry. It’s fine. No need.”

The nurse was intimidated as she glanced at Seth and hurriedly retreated
from the room.
Silence returned to the room, only broken by Seth’s enraged breathing, which
was hitting Isabella’s taut nerves one after another.
“You’d better change your clothes.” Isabella didn’t dare to look up, trying her
best to avoid eye contact with Seth.
Seth’s gaze lowered as he looked down at the woman in front of him with
intense hostility. “You’d better tell me clearly how to get rid of this filth on me!”
Isabella closed her eyes and was ready to face her fate. “Get someone to
pick you up now, go back to the villa, take a shower, and you’ll be clean in half
an hour.”

“Isabella!” The man’s thunderous roar probably rattled half the hospital floor.
Her heart skipped a beat, but she held her ground. “You provoked me first. I
only acted out of anger.”
In other words, he was the one who asked for it.
Seth picked up on the hidden meaning in her words, and it infuriated him
even more. He forced out a twisted smile.
He chuckled several times. It was sinister and terrifying, more menacing than
his earlier rage.
Isabella eyed him warily. She was ready to jump off the bed and run at any
moment.

“You’re rejecting me, huh?” the man asked with a cold smirk.
She shook her head firmly. “I don’t have the right to reject you. I just don’t think
I’m suitable. Mr. Shaffer, I hope you-”
“Mr. Shaffer this! Mr. Shaffer that! Are you a welcoming hostess?!” Seth nearly
exploded with anger. He couldn’t believe how difficult this woman was,
considering how easy it was to get her into the lounge with just a little
-sweetness in the past.
Isabella was speechless as she pursed her lips. “From a professional
standpoint, I’m an employee of your company. Using polite language is not
wrong.”
“All right, fine. Isabella, you win.” The man put his hands on his waist, closed
his eyes, and took a deep breath. He warned, his voice nearing a shout, Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“You’d better not come to beg me for anything again!”
She pouted. She was unsure herself. The rate at which her skills were
improving couldn’t match the speed at which problems arose. She had
issues to deal with here, and now she had offended Seth like an idiot again.
However, in this situation, saving her reputation was crucial; she couldn’t
afford to back down no matter what.
She lifted her head and locked eyes with Seth. “Rest assured. Even if I have to
die, I’ll never ask for your help again.”
Wait a minute. I didn’t mean to sound so absolute! I should have left myself a
way out!
Regret flooded her the moment she finished speaking. She needed to

maintain a perfect facade even if her emotions were close to crumbling.
Seth looked down at the fiercely determined woman with a chilling smile on
his face. He nodded repeatedly. “Good! You’ve got some guts!”
