Loveless Marriage novel Chapter 206

But Isabella only passed by, and walked back to her office without any hesitation in the end.

All the subordinates in the department watched her leave carefully, then looked at each other. They then glanced at Minh who was quietly working in a corner.

As one of the male protagonists of the incident, he said nothing, but remained silent like everyone else, doing nothing at all.

However, everyone knew that arguing at this time would only show the guilt of being a bandit.

Isabella sat in her office with a dark face, thinking for a while, then used her phone to open a web page. All the headlines in the entire Brighton were about her, they were all well—written, and even the pictures were taken extremely clearly.

Even the photo of her eating with Shawn in London was taken. The earliest picture was taken half a month ago.

She wasn't a celebrity who would pay attention to her. The only thing she could think of was that someone had deliberately targeted her, and behind all of these articles was just a murderer.

Just as he was checking, his phone rang and a notification popped up.

Isabella casually tapped it open.

It was sent by Minh.

[Are you alright?

Don't worry, I will find out the truth. You have to be careful in the next few days.]

Isabella frowned her eyebrows, moved her fingers and quickly replied to him with a simple message, "I'm fine."

Right after sending it, John knocked on the door and entered.

"Miss Hones, Mrs. Cotton sends someone to notify you to attend a meeting."

Isabella was quiet for two seconds, she closed his phone expressionlessly and replied, "I got it. You can leave now."

What meeting? It was just a denouncement of her. It seemed that someone couldn't wait to see her make a joke out of her.

After getting up, Isabella walked around the table and unbuttoned her collar with her slender fingers. Her expression was cold.

John worriedly looked at her, wanted to say something but hesitated. But he said nothing in the end.

No one had expected such a thing to happen as soon as they returned. It was obvious that someone had planned this.

In the meeting room, there were five to six people. The company wasn't big, but everyone could speak.

Isabella glanced at it, then glanced at Mr. Smith, who waved and indicated for her to sit.

She walked over, pulled out a chair, and looked at Lucy who was seated beside her with a pleased look in her eyes, her lips curling up, "You have returned with good news, congratulations. Another big contract with Fantasy."

That thick sense of mockery and contempt, seemed as though it had ruthlessly slapped Isabella in her face in front of everyone.

Isabella's face did not reveal any ripples, but her eyes became colder and colder. She did not deny anything, she only stated each word simply, and paused a bit, as though she was considering it carefully, "The pictures are not synthesized, but my relationship with Christian Miller, when the matter is investigated clearly, I will give everyone an explanation, in short, I did not use any improper actions to make the transaction."

With that, she looked at Mr. Smith who was seated at the head of the table, "Mr. Smith, this is my explanation. If headquarters wants to investigate me, I won't have any complaints."

Mr. Smith leaned on his chair with an unfathomable expression. He did not have any expression on his face and no one could tell what he was thinking.

After a long silence, he sighed and waved his hand, "Sit down first. I will get my people to investigate this, but …" "Before you get to the bottom of it, leave the work at hand to Heather. You're too tired recently, take a rest first."

In truth, it was not that he did not trust Isabella, he had personally witnessed her efforts in the past few years, but it was just that this time, her influence was too great, causing the company's image to be tarnished, even if he wanted to plead for her, he had no way of defending himself.

Moreover, after seeing those pictures, even he was a little confused. Thinking about Christian taking care of her before, with Shawn mentioning her from time to time, and the rumours that spread around the company, he just couldn't ignore it.

Isabella's expression changed as she took a deep breath, "Mr. Smith, I can take a rest, but there are still so many people in the department. Even if I am absent, they could still complete the mission, there is no need to change staff."

It was 'a rest' on the surface, but the suspension in fact.

It was unknown whether she would be able to get her job again. This was the problem that Isabella was most worried about previously, but she never thought that it would happen in such an awkward manner.

Mrs. Cotton raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Miss Jones, I am usually very busy, and do not have the time to take care of a department's staff more. The best way is to hand over the work and let everyone play their parts so that your department's staff can properly do their job."
