Chapter 140
Isabella just wanted to change the topic. As soon as she asked the question, her cheeks flushed slightly on their own.
She felt embarrassed.
But speaking so formally was dull.
Samuel paused his signing, tightened his grip on the pen slightly, and said with a gentle look, “Yeah”
Perry, who was closest to Samuel, heard their conversation clearly. Even though he had gotten used to Samuel’s change, his answer was still a bit surprising
The two department heads standing next to Perry weren’t as calm as him.
They looked at Samuel in total shock, wondering, Is this really the same Mr. Howerton?
‘Could someone have possessed his body or something?
If it weren’t for the setting, they probably would have screamed in horror.
Isabella felt her cheeks flush with heat. She hadn’t anticipated that the words she inadvertently uttered would elicit a response from Samuel.
She quickly changed the subject and asked, “What are you doing right now?”
She felt her phone heating up, almost too burning to hold,
Samuel cast a cool glance over the shocked crowd and replied softly, I’m in a meeting.”
Isabella almost instantly jumped to her feet.
Samuel was actually in a meeting
She wondered, ‘So he…
Isabella had been to meetings of the Howerton Group before and knew how serious they were. However, Samuel was chatting with her during a meeting.
Embarrassed, Isabella hung up the phone right away.
She rubbed her forehead slightly, deciding to do such things less often in the future. With a sigh, she pushed away her awkward feelings and went to the study to continue working.
Isabella had just turned on her computer when her phone suddenly rang.
She frowned, wondering why Ivana was calling now. She thought of hanging up but then considered it might be something important about work, so she answered, “Hello.”
On the other end, Ivana angrily shouted, “Isabella, why are you trying to steal Jayden from me? He’s mine! Stay away from him!”
Ivana believed that if it hadn’t been for Isabella, Jayden wouldn’t have ignored her.
Today, he didn’t even answer Ivana’s calls.
Ivana panicked, fearing that Jayden wanted to break up with her

She thought, “No! I can’t let that happen!”
Isabella found it amusing. Leahing back in her chair, she smirke and teased, “Ivana, the tighter you hold sand, the faster it slips away. Do you think Jayden will really end up being yours?”
Ivana was already in a frantic state.
Isabella just wanted to stir things up, curious to see Ivana’s self–destructive behavior.
Ivana swept everything off the table in a fit of rage, smashing things to the ground, and cursed, “Bitch, Jayden will never be yours!”
Propping herself up on the desk, Ivana panted heavily, sneered, and said, “Do you really think Jayden loves you? Stop fooling yourself.”
Then Ivana put her phone on speaker and sent a picture to Isabella.
Then Isabella’s phone chimed with a notification.
With a contemptuous sneer, Ivana said, “Let me tell you, Isabella Jayden never loved you. The picture sent to you tells everything.
Isabella frowned even more deeply. She originally didn’t want to bother with the picture, but her curiosity was piqued.
She clicked on the picture.
The photo showed Ivana and Jayden lying naked on a bed, wrapped in each other’s arms.
Isabella felt her stomach turn queasy, an overwhelming urge to vomit.
Ivana’s voice came again, sounding smug, “Don’t you want to know when exactly this picture was taken?”
Soon after, Ivana sent a screenshot showing the date the photo was saved in her alburn.
Isabella couldn’t help but clench her fists.
Isabella distinctly recalled that it had been precisely one month since Jayden began officially dating her. Isabella laughed in anger. It turned out that Jayden had been foaling her all the time just for his shows.
Isabella’s fists clenched tightly.
Ivana continued, “You’re nothing but a clown. Let me tell you, Jayden doesn’t love you at all…” Isabella sneered, “If your precious Jayden loves you so much, why are you desperately disturbing me?”
If Jayden really loved Ivana, she wouldn’t be worried that everyone else wanted him.
Isabella continued with mockery, “The thing you treasure so much is just garbage to me?
The person who cheated on Isabella just one month into their relationship was nothing short of despicable.
Ivana was furious, her face turning pale as she gripped her phone and said, “Isabella, don’t get too smug, Jayden would never like someone as awful as you!”
Ivana thought, Isabella must have said those words because she can’t get Jayden! Damn it!
However, Isabella wasn’t about to let Ivana go easily and retorted “Does he like you? If he really likes you, then why doesn’t he make your relationship public? Why hasn’t he proposed to you?

Chapter 140.
Isabella hoped Jayden and Ivana would get married right away, make it official for life, and stop causing trouble for her.
Ivana’s expression instantly turned even worse when she heard Isabella’s words.
Ivana wanted to marry Jayden so much, but he didn’t want to.
Isabella’s words struck Ivana right where she was most vulnerable
Ivana was overwhelmed by Isabella’s questions, and for a moment, she couldn’t find anything to fight back.
Finally, Ivana stammered, “That’s not true! Jayden loves me the most
Isabella sneered again and said. “Aren’t you tired of saying the same things over and over? I’m not interested in talking about these childish things anymore.
“I’m just waiting for the day he proposes to you. But what I’m afraid of is, what if he thinks you’re useless one day and gets tired of you!”
Isabella chuckled and then hung up.
Ivana stared at the phone that had been hung up and suddenly shouted in frustration, “Bitch!”
Ivana called Isabella again, but her line was busy.
Meanwhile, Isabella was in a bad mood.
If she hadn’t seen the date on that photo, she might not have been so angry.
Isabella sat up straight in her office chair, holding back the anger rising in her chest, and quickly dialed Jayden’s number. Jayden, who was lying in a massage chair at the time, smirked when he saw Isabella’s call.
He thought, ‘Sure enough, when I ignore her, she’d come back on her own.
Jayden thought Isabella was tough, but it only took two days for her to give in.
Jayden waited until the call was about to end before answering slowly. In a calm, unhurried voice, he said, “Bella, what’s up
Isabella knew that Jayden was deliberately putting on a show for her.
She didn’t waste time exposing him and went straight to the point, asking, “I’ve found a great movie script. Would you like to take a look at it?”
All Jayden wanted Isabella to do was find a good movie script for him.
Isabella thought, “Well, the real question is whether he can take it
Hearing her words, Jayden perked up right away. Sitting up from his chair, he eagerly replied, “Of course! Send it over and I’ll have a look.”
It was like giving a pillow to someone about to nap.
Jayden felt so delighted and thought, I really shouldn’t have been too kind to herf
