Chapter 165
Isabella was startled, turned on the speakerphone, and opened the Twitter app. As soon as she got on, her Twitter lagged and crashed several times before she finally managed to log in
Only then did Isabella see the trending topics on Twitter, several pictures showing her and Samuel having dinner last night.
She looked closely at Samuel in the photos, recalling everything from last night, and her heart filled with warmth once
“Bella

“Is it no signal?”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a long time. Luna checked her phone’s signal and confirmed there was no
issue.
Isabella snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, “Yeah, I’m here.”
Luna let out a sigh of relief and flopped back onto her bed, wrapping herself in the blanket like a cocoon. “I thought you’d disappeared. Did you see it?”
She couldn’t help but click her tongue in admiration. “You’re not even in showbiz yet, and you’re already so sensational. If you ever join, I guarantee you’ll become a notable figure.”
Luna couldn’t help but long for being talked about with such enthusiasm many years later. However, Isabella didn’t want to step into the entertainment world. Luna’s hopes were dashed. She wearily hugged a pillow.
Isabella put her phone aside and started changing, smiling slightly as she answered, “You know me. I avoid trouble,” The show business scene was too murky for her. She wasn’t interested in getting involved
Luna sighed deeply and decided not to press the issue.
She thought of Samuel and a knowing smile spread across her face. “Come on, tell me honestly. How far have you and Samuel gone? He was even there on your birthday, with a kid and a whole family-
Luna suddenly had a realization, her mouth dropping open in disbelief. “No way. Was that Samuel’s family?” The Howerto family was super powerful. If Isabella got their approval, it’d mean Isabella and Samuel were officially together. Luna’s min was overflowing with gossip.
Isabella fastened the buttons of her shirt, gathered her long hair behind her, and replied softly, “Yeah, it’s his sister’s family
Luna immediately became excited, jumping out of bed and exclaiming, “Wow, you actually met his family! When’s the wedding? When’s the reception? I want to be the maid of honor, Wait, I don’t have a dress. I need to get one custom–made
She was panicking as if she were the one getting married.
Isabella couldn’t help but rub her forehead, pinching her aching temples. “Stay calm.” She found Luna very imaginative ar

Isabella smirked. “It’s a secret,‘ If Luna found out she was already married, Luna’d probably go craz
Luna was so mad at Isabella that she gritted her teeth and snappeil, “If you were here right now, I’d totally strangle you!” She was more than curious. But she wasn’t as worked up as before, instead, she flopped onto the couch, feeling utterly drained.
Isabella chuckled. “Come on, I’ve got to go to work. You should get up early and take a walk. Stop lounging in bed all day,” From the tone of their conversation, she could tell that Luna definitely wasn’t out of bed yet.
Luna rubbed her tired eyes. “I’m so exhausted. I stayed up half the night again.” In their line of work, staying up all night was common. There wasn’t much she could do about it.
Isabella knew telling her to stop pulling late nights was pointless, so she gently said, “Get some more rest then, and remember to eat something.”
Luna yawned and said, “Alright”
Just as Luna finished speaking, Isabella heard gentle breathing from the other end. Isabella frowned slightly and wondered how tired Luna was. Then she hung up the phone and went to work.
An hour later, Isabella’s car was parked in the Stout Group’s parking lot.
As she got out of the car and closed the door, she overheard a hushed conversation from the corner, “Did you see last night’s trending topic? Isabella really has no shame, juggling so many guys at once.
Kabella scanned the empty parking lot and began walking towards the direction of the voices.
In the corner, Melanie, with heavy makeup on her face, was holding a cigarette and puffing out white smoke. She spoke with disdain. “I told you she was no good. Now do you believe me?”
The other two women looked unfamiliar to Isabella. They were probably from another department of the Stout Group. They all agreed with Melanie. “She looks pretty decent, but who would’ve thought she’d be so lacking in morals.” Melanie sneered, “She probably uses that face to deliberately attract men,” Men just liked pretty women.
Isabella stood behind Melanie, arms crossed, and said coldly, “Tell me, how am I using this face to attract men? Do you any proof?”
have
Melanie whipped around, coming face to face with Isabella, and was so startled she stepped back a couple of steps, dropping the cigarette from her fingers. “Are you a ghost, sneaking around without a sound?”
She clutched her heart, which was pounding wildly from the fright.
The other women were also startled, looking guilty, and their eyes darted around in embarrassment.
Isabella let out a cold laugh. “If you’ve done nothing wrong, you won’t fear ghosts knocking on your door, so stop gossiping about me”
She usually ignored their gossip, but now they were night in front of her. So she had to show them that she wasn’t just someone they could push around.
Melanie had always been irritated with Isabella, feeling Isabella acted all high and mighty. To her surprise, Isabella actually dared to snap back at her.
Staring Isabella down, Melanie furiously shouted, “I can say whatever I want. If you don’t like it, don’t listen. Just because you’re Mr. Stout’s daughter, you think you can do anything you want? You’re just a flirt messing around with everyone-
Isabella slapped Melanie right across the face, the sound echoing through the garage.

One woman leaned in and whispered in Melanie’s ear, “Don’t forget how Emily got fired. The word was, Emily was still stuck at home, unable to find a job. If they really got fired by the Stoud Group, they would have no way to survive.
