Chapter 133
At the moment, Lucas could not take any action against Isabella, but he had no plans to be amicable with the other members of the Stout Group,
He reached up to his forehead, gently touching the bump with his fingers. The sharp pain caused him to wince. Lucas grew angrier.
Jenny panicked and turned around, cursing inside, Damn, still got this problem to deal with
ΠΙ
Jenny forced a smile and looked at Lucas, trying to appease hini, Mr. Smith, please don’t be mad. Isabella was wrong. I’ll have her personally apologize to you another day.
In her heart, Jenny had cursed Isabella countless times.
She thought. That’s a bitch! Always dragging me into trouble! Is she out of her mind?
If only Isabella slept with him, everything would be alright.
Now she’s upset Lucas, and we’ll face a tough time during the transition. Ugh, I’d like to kill her!”
The abrupt slam of Lucas hitting the table jolted Jenny back to reality.
Lucas suddenly stood up and shouted angrily, ‘Get out! Didn’t you just see who that was! Are you trying to get me in trouble? Are you out of your mind?”
Lucas thought, “How dare Jenny want Isabella to apologize to me
If this reaches Jayden, it won’t just be a beating I’m facing. I must wait until that woman is out of the picture.

Lucas cast a cold look at the stunned and clueless Jenny, saying. I want a convincing explanation for this matter, or I’ll never let it go!”
With that, Lucas headed straight out of the booth.
Jenny stood there, her foot stomping in anger and her face twisted with rage.
She shouted in her heart, ‘Oh! That witch Isabella, not only did she attract Jayden, but she also caused a rift between Mr. Smith and me! Damn it! She’ll pay for this!
Twenty minutes later, Isabella was in the company’s business van, busily typing on her phone, when Jenny stormed over and angrily pulled open the car door.
It caused a loud bang, and Jenny slammed it shut once more.
The noise was so loud that Isabella’s ears felt uncomfortable, and she frowned slightly.
Jenny got furious once she saw Isabella. Jenny shouted, “Is this how you should treat clients? Why did you hurt him?”
Thinking about the injuries on Lucas‘ face and what he said before leaving, Jenny felt both angry and scared.
Noting Isabella’s silence, Jenny spoke up in a chilly voice, “Even with the contract signed, it tarnishes the Stout Group’s reputation. How can we maintain the trust of other clients following this incident?”
Jenny adopted a superior attitude, scolding Isabella ruthlessly.

Isabella briefly looked at Jenny with an indifferent expression and then resumed texting George about business matters.
Isabella’s attitude only increased Jenny’s anger.
Jenny thought, “What does she mean? Is she ignoring me?”
Jenny forcefully dropped her purse onto the chair and, with anger in her voice, confronted Isabella, “What do you mean? You got into a fight and you’re acting smug? Do you actually believe I won’t fire you?”
The chain on Jenny’s purse got caught on Isabella’s phone, almost making Isabella drop it.
Anger surged within Isabella as she sent off her final message. She put her phone away and gave Jenny a cold, piercing stare.
That stare was so sharp and intimidating.
Jenny felt uneasy, instinctively swallowing nervously as she stammered, “Why Why are you looking at me like that?”
Isabella looked like she was ready to kill Jenny at any moment.
Isabella fixed Jenny with a cold stare and stated, “Do you remember how the last assistant manager got fired?”
Jenny knew how Emily got fired all too well.
The incident was so widely circulated that it was known not only by the design department, but by everyone within the Stout Group.
At that moment, panic took over Jenny.
She wondered, If I really offended Isabella, could I end up getting fired like Emily?
‘If I was fired, finding a job elsewhere would be really difficult
Isabella’s cold eyes glanced at Jenny as she warned, “You’d better keep your head down and focus on your duties.”
Jenny had hated Isabella for a long time, and now it just made her feel even worse.
Jenny felt so unconvinced.
However, Isabella disregarded Jenny’s reaction and spoke seriously, “You shouldn’t aim to win over Ivana. She doesn’t hold any company shares. What benefit is there in getting close to her? Even if my father gave her all his shares, they wouldn’t compare to mine.”
With seventy percent of the shares under her control, Isabella could call the shots.
If Isabella didn’t aim to gradually gain the support of the veterans at Stout Group, she would have assumed the shareholder rights long ago.
If she had done so, Hudson and Ivana would have been eliminated from the game.
Hearing Isabella’s words, Jenny was stunned by the shares Isabella owned.
Jenny thought, ‘No, that’s impossible!
‘Ivana has been with the company for so long, and Hudson care so much for her. Clearly, Ivan controls the future of the Stout Group instead of Isabella!
Isabella must
have made this up just to scare me!”
However, Jenny didn’t dare to continue yelling at Isabella, afraid that what Isabella said might actually be true.

Isabella crossed her arms and leaned back in the car seat, closing her eyes.
Finally, it was quiet, and she could take a nap

Forty minutes later, in the Stout Group’s design department, styled with simplicity and nature, every designer was diligently. working at their respective stations.
Ivana, wearing a light blue dress that fell just above her knees, surveyed the bustling designers in the design department.
Most of the designers were quite well–known.
Ivana thought, ‘No matter how talented they are, they’re still under my command now!
Deep down, Ivana’s eyes held a hint of disdain. In her opinion, talent was insignificant compared to power and wealth,
Yet Ivana’s face still held a gentle smile, showing no trace of her inner feelings.
At this time, the glass door of the design department was pushed open as Isabella and Jenny walked in one after the other.
Ivana hurried to greet them, “Isabella, how did it go? Mr. Smith didn’t give you any trouble, did he?”
Ivana looked Isabella up and down, noticing that her clothes were neat, and felt strange.
She thought, Isn’t it rumored that Lucas loves tearing women’s clothes?
“Why is Isabella still wearing the same outfit?
‘Did Isabella get taken advantage of by Lucas?
Ivana kept watching Isabella, noticing her calm expression and lack of intention to speak. Ivana couldn’t discern anything or ask more questions.
Ivana was certain of one thing. Isabella had definitely not succeeded in signing the contract.
Many people had their contracts rejected by Lucas before, so Isabella must have failed too.
Ivana looked at Isabella and said reassuringly, “Isabella, it’s normal not to close this deal since Mr. Smith’s standards are so
strict.”
Isabella just looked at Ivana briefly. Then she ignored Ivana and walked over to her desk.
The other employees exchanged meaningful looks and whispered scornfully about Isabella, “She ought to regret her
actions.”
Someone said, “Who does she think she is? She’s nothing special
Another person commented, “Exactly. She doesn’t even know her limits. She’s really full of herself.”
Ivana was satisfied with those remarks, feeling she had finally gained an advantage over Isabella.
Ivana straightened up and looked at Isabella with pride, thinking ‘So what if she is Dr. Lovett? Within the Stout Group, Isabella is insignificant.
At that moment, Isabella opened her purse, took out a contract, and nonchalantly set it on the table. The distinct click of the folder hitting the surface drew everyone’s attention.
Isabella’s cold gaze fixed on Ivana as she calmly said, Tve signed it. Can we get back to work now?”

Isabella’s words were like a bombshell.
Everyone els
stared at the contract in disbelief, trying hard to resist the urge to open it themselves.
Ivana quickly picked it up and started flipping through it.
After confirming Lucas‘ signature, Ivana looked at Isabella with peculiar expression.
The others couldn’t help but gasp in shock, staring at Isabella, unable to believe that she had really closed the deal.
Everyone knew what kind of person Lucas was
