417 Ask for Friend’s Help at the Critical Moment

As Cedric hung up the phone abruptly, Isabella became a little out of her mind.

She realized the appointment tonight might not be a normal one. n0𝑣𝑬𝑙𝑢𝔰𝑩.𝐜0𝔪

She did not know what Cedric wanted her to do, and Octavio’s warning was still in her mind.

If it were in the past, she would never think that Cedric, who always treated her gently, would be a threat to her. However, ever since they separated from each other, she felt that he was no longer the man she knew before.

Just like what Octavio had said …

He was the young master of the Stretton family who controlled the underworld, vicious, sinister, and merciless.

If she did not go … would she be able to disregard the bombing at Slike’s Restaurant?

As the daughter, how could she ignore the trouble her father was facing for her own well-being? How could she disregard the infamy her father had been bearing for so many years?

Isabella thought for a while and looked at Gerry, “Gerry, did Joseph say he was going to work at the company tonight?”

…..

“Mr. Joseph will return late even if he doesn’t work overtime tonight. Michael is not so easy to deal with as we imagined.”

“Although I have no right to interfere in Mr. Joseph’s private affairs, as your bodyguard, I hope you will not meet Cedric without letting Mr. Joseph know. If any issue occurs, I would not be able to deal with it alone. Cedric rarely uses violence, but if he does, I don’t think I have any chance of winning.”

Isabella asked in horror, “Use violence? How? Is he going to hit me?”

Gerry paused and said, “I don’t think so, but he might take you away and hide you from Mr. Joseph. That’s why I think you should tell Mr. Joseph about that.”

“…” Isabella hesitated. “But won’t things get worse if Joseph goes? In that case, Cedric will never appraise that design draft for me.”

Gerry fell silent. He also felt that if Joseph were to go, the result might be even worse.

After a long while, Isabella was still unable to decide. In the end, she decided to call Jane and ask for her advice.

Well, she could not think of a more appropriate time to ask friends for help.

Jane and David were busy playing games in a cybercafe, surrounded by noises and excitement.

How Isabella wished that she could be as carefree and happy as Jane! Why did she have to go through the complicated series of events?

After Jane heard Isabella’s story, she said heroically, “Simple! You don’t have to make such a decision. Just take me there! Whee, I didn’t expect Cedric would be so obsessed about love even though he was a member of the underworld. I like it! This man is a combination of light and darkness. Cool! Just leave it to me!”

Hearing this, Isabella was happy at first, but she soon realized something. “It seems you’re very confident. What are you going to do?”

“It’s easy! I’m going to sacrifice myself to help you. For the sake of your life-long happiness, I’m going to seduce Cedric tonight. If he is fascinated by me, he won’t be in the mood to linger on the saline-alkali land of yours.”

Isabella’s face turned black. “Saline-alkali land of who? Jane, I’m talking to you seriously. Don’t you already have Jayden as your boyfriend? How can you seduce Cedric? I asked you for some advice, not to sacrifice yourself. Jane, stop joking! I need your help!”

“Jayden? Who’s that bastard? I’ve already dumped him.”

“What? Didn’t you just …”

Jane gritted her teeth and said disdainfully, “Do you know what request he made to me before having sex?”

Isabella was confused. “That …”

“No wonder he’s called a miser. He told me that if we were to get married, we’d have to notarize our pre-marital properties. He was afraid that I would take his money away!”

“Well … I heard many of Jayden’s family members work in banks. That might be why he’s so sensitive to money … Perhaps possibly maybe he’s just …” Isabella lowered her face into her hand speechlessly.

“Ha-ha! Isabella, you’ve changed a lot since dating Joseph. You haven’t even married him yet, but you’ve already put yourself on his friend’s side!” Jane teased.

“How’s that possible?” “I’ve always been on your side! No one can snatch me away from you! But you’ve said you were interested in Jayden. Isn’t it too hasty to break up like this? Give him another chance. Maybe it’s a misunderstanding.”

“That’s why I didn’t say it directly. I just told him, ‘Don’t notarize our pre-marital properties. Go notarize your grandmother!’”

” … This is even worse …” Isabella was both worried and amused at Jane’s words.

“Hey, let’s not talk about this. I’m really interested in Cedric. In fact, I’ve decided that I will date all the four famous men in Peace City. Well, three of them, except Zachary. If you don’t mind, how about lending Joseph to me for a few days.”

“Jane!”

“Ha-ha!”

Jane laughed wildly as she shouted at David, “You useless man! I’m fighting monsters in the front and almost gonna die! Come and support me! Do you think you can live on your own if I die?”

Isabella: ” … You’re driving me crazy! Jane! I’m being serious with you!”

“Why are you panicking?”

Jane said like a ruffian, “I’m in Golden Cybercafe. Come and pick me up. Drive me home first. I’ll have to change my clothes. Leave Cedric to me tonight. I guarantee you won’t need to sell your flesh or betray Joseph. I’ll deal with this man who’s stuck in his obsession!”

Isabella asked excitedly, “Really?”

“But I want a new LV bag as the thank-you gift. Otherwise, humph, Isabella, I might accidentally let Joseph know that you went out with Cedric without telling him.”

“You are a bad girl who deserves to be beaten!”

Although Isabella accused Jane of not taking the matter seriously, she was actually relieved by Jane’s words. “If you help me settle my father’s case, I promise I’ll ask Joseph to find you a truck of rich and handsome guys!”

“Great. You certainly understand me. Come, Isabella!”

Isabella hung up the phone and drove toward Golden Cybercafe with Gerry. Jane was concentrating on clearing an instance with David. When she saw Isabella, she turned back and said perfunctorily, “I’m at a critical moment. Give me twenty minutes …”

“Fine,” Isabella replied. She knew Jane well. Jane would not easily give up her game.

Unexpectedly, after Jane turned her head back, she turned to Isabella again. Her eyes were fixed on Gerry, who was standing behind Isabella. Her expression lighted up as if she was about to say, “Whoa! Handsome!” Out of Isabella’s expectation, Jane put down the keyboard and stood up to walk around Gerry. She said to Isabella excitedly, “He’s the one I saw at the restaurant, right? The one wearing Armani?”
