Chapter 187
Dominic’s face froze, looking as if he was suffering from constipation. He didn’t expect Isabella to really accept it.
But words are like spilled water, once said, they can’t be taken bark, so he had to follow through.
Under Isabella’s gaze, Dominic had no choice but to pick up his phone and call his assistant, forcing himself to carry it out.
Isabella watched with a smile, staying silent the whole time.
At that moment, a waiter entered with a tray of coffee, interrupting Dominic.
The waiter gently set the coffee down and bowed respectfully, saying, “Please enjoy.”
After placing the coffee, the waiter slowly exited the room.
Dominic quickly looked at Isabella, smiling in an attempt to please her. “Doctor, can we settle this later? What do you think?”
Isabella knew exactly what Dominic was planning.
But right now, she didn’t want to argue with Dominic about it. Instead, she wanted him to do something else.
Isabella took a small sip of her coffee before looking at Dominic and saying, “Just tell me what you want.”
In truth, she was fully aware of his intentions, but she wanted Dominic to say it out loud.
He shouldn’t blame her for not giving him any respect now, singe he had plotted against her before.
Dominic let out a big sigh of relief, his wealth was barely saved. Looking at Isabella with difficulty and a hint of struggle, he said, “I know Cameron has harmed you, but I still shamelessly beg you to save him. Please, Doctor.”
He got up and simply knelt in front of Isabella, completely abandoning his past arrogance. His words clearly exposed Isabella’s true identity.
This scerte made Isabella feel like laughing a bit
When Cameron was causing trouble for other women, his father always indulged him, even acting as an accomplice.
Now that Cameron is impotent and the Lane family faces extinction, they finally come asking for help.
It truly confirms the old saying, “You don’t feel the pain until you’ve walked in someone else’s shoes.”
Isabella’s eyes were fixed on Dominic, without any intention of helping him up. She slowly savored her coffee.
Dominic secretly clenched his fist, suppressing the anger in his heart.
After a long pause, Isabella finally said calmly, “Cameron is my patient now, and my duty as a doctor requires me to save him, but I have one condition.”
Dominic was overjoyed inside and quickly looked up to ask, “What condition?”
As long as Cameron can be saved and the Lane family can have descendants, everything else is negotiable. At least he has to do this until Cameron is cured
Isabella didn’t care what Dominic was plotting. She just said, “Hudson.”
Dominic was taken aback. Remembering Isabella’s earlier position, he realized that she opposed Hudson. At this moment, seeing her propose this, he immediately nodded and agreed enthusiastically, “Alright, leave this to me,”

He already intended to deal with Hudson, and now with Isabella request, it was just a matter of going along with it.
With a short conversation, they planned Hudson’s future.
Isabella didn’t say anything else. She put down her coffee cup and got up to go outside.
Dominic quickly got up and urgently shouted, “Doctor, what about my son’s illness… This was the only thing he was truly worried about.
Isabella furrowed her eyebrows and, suppressing her discomfort, replied. “Til continue his treatment after a while.”
She thought, What’s the rush? It has to be when I have time!
She agreed to treat him, but she didn’t say when he would be cured or how painful the process might be.
A smile immediately appeared on Dominic’s face. As long as she was willing to help, that was good enough.
Isabella stayed calm and didn’t say much. Cameron, being perceptive, knew she wasn’t much of a talker, so he didn’t pressure her. He had his own matters to attend to anyway. After hanging out for a bit, they went their separate ways.
Over the next few days. Isabella performed acupuncture on his son about once every three days. Each session was pure torment for Cameron.
Dominic went all out trying to cure his son, leading to a complete falling out with Hudson. Initially, their tactics were subtle -houses caught fire, and cars got wrecked.
Once these pranks were over, they started attacking each other’s companies. This was all within Isabella’s control, and she found their chaos utterly amusing.
In the blink of an eye, a week had passed. At that moment, Isabella was in her Scandinavian–style study, sitting at her desk and sketching. Even as the sky outside darkened, she didn’t move an inch.
After a long time, Isabella finally shifted a little. Looking at her finished sketch, she picked up her phone and called Summer. The phone was quickly answered, and Summer exclaimed anxiously. “Oh my gosh, finally! You finally called me!”
Summer was having a meal with a client, but as soon as she saw Isabella’s call, she left her food and hurried outside to
answer.
She knew Isabella’s personality very well. If she wanted the design, she shouldn’t rush her, because if she did, Isabella would get angry and refuse the order immediately.
So, no matter how anxious Summer was, she had to hold it in.
Isabella smiled as she picked up the tablet from the table. The design was already done. “Tve completed it. Should I send it to you now?”
It’s been really busy lately, and she hasn’t had the chance to send it over. Isabella could even imagine how excited Summer must be at that moment.
Summer crossed her arms and held the phone to her ear, replying with a smile. “No need. They trust you a lot. Just drop by the office when you can, pick the jewelry you want to finalize, and I’ll give it to them directly.”
Isabella was a bit surprised, “Who is this that’s so straightforward?
Usually, in custom jewelry design, either the client provides their own gems for customization or they need to approve drawings before getting started.
It’s rare for someone to leave everything entirely up to her without saying anything.

Summer leaned against the tailing in the hallway, smiling mysteriously. “It’s a secret. You’ll find out soon.”
Isabella nodded with a smile and didn’t press any further. “Alright. I’ll find some time to visit the office.
g at Summer with a nod
Just as Summer was about to say more, a man in a suit came out of the restaurant, smiling
She stood straight and similed at Isabella. “Bella, you go ahead. I’ve got something to handle here.
Summer quickly ended the call,
Isabella looked at her phone screen dimming, a resigned smile appearing on her lips as she shook her head with a soft laugh.
She wondered which man Summer was out with now.
Summer’s three main interests are men, good–looking men, and good–looking men with money..
Her undeniable charm had many men falling head over heels.
Isabella put down her phone and just as her hand touched the tablet, there was a knock on the study door.
Isabella looked towards the door and replied, “Come in.”
The door opened to reveal Samuel, whom Isabella hadn’t seen in a while. She was surprised he had returned.
After some time apart, he was still just as dashing in his spotless suit, charming as ever with not a speck of dust on him, and his deep–set eyes were smiling at her.
After the initial surprise, Isabella couldn’t help but smile and softly asked, “When did you get back?”
She stood up and pushed her chair aside, walking over to Samuel.
Samuel walked in, looked at Isabella with a slightly concerned expression, and said, “Just arrived. I heard from Megan you were so busy you didn’t eat dinner tonight?”
Isabella paused, then gave an awkward smile and said, “I was so busy I forgot.”
Samuel frowned again, his cool face momentarily softening, but his displeasure almost concealed it.
