Big Novel

Isabella was still staying with Erin. As she lay in bed, Erin excitedly recounted the events of the evening. Isabella listened quietly,
then couldn’t help but ask, “Mrs. Shaffer, did you do something a couple of days ago?” Judging by Seth’s tone last night, it must
have been something quite outrageous.
As expected, as soon as she asked, Erin rolled her eyes and flopped onto her side. “He deserved it!” she declared.
Isabella guessed that the man Erin was referring to was Morgan. Closing her eyes, she asked out of curiosity, “So what exactly
did you do?”
Erin turned towards her, leaned in close, and whispered a few words into her ear.
Isabella, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them wide in disbelief. She turned to look at Erin, her face full
of shock.
“You sent his explicit photos to someone else?!”
Erin pouted, seemingly unconcerned, and said coolly, “That aspiring actress has been to his villa several times. She might have
already seen everything. What’s wrong with me sending her a couple of photos?”
Isabella swallowed hard, trying to make sense of the situation. Erin had sent Morgan’s intimate photos to a female artist. The
woman could either keep quiet about it, secretly sell them to the media, or, if she was bold enough, use them to blackmail
Morgan.
Regardless of which option she chose, both she and Erin, the instigator, would be in deep trouble. Although Isabella had never
met Morgan, she had heard of his reputation.
He had taken over the family business at a young age and expanded it aggressively. In less than a decade, he had made Shaffer
Group a globally recognized company.
Morgan was undoubtedly the key figure in the Shaffer Family’s successful transition from military and political affairs to the
business world. Such a man would not take this lightly. “Did you come here to seek refuge?” Isabella suddenly realized.
Erin pouted, feeling wronged. “Even Seth isn’t on my side. He’s as unreasonable as his father!”
Isabella’s lips twitched. Regardless of the couple’s past grievances, what Erin had done this time was beyond normal. She had
initially thought it best to stay out of this mess.

Now, it seemed, it would be better to leave as soon as possible.
She mustn’t come back tomorrow night, no matter what. She stopped chatting with
Erin and turned off the bedside lamp.
Erin was as talkative as she had been the previous night, even in the dark. Isabella pretended to sleep, half awake and half
asleep.
The room was very quiet. Suddenly, there was a click.
Erin’s voice stopped, and Isabella breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she could finally sleep. “Seth?”
Isabella was confused. Footsteps approached, and Erin sat up excitedly. Isabella kept her eyes closed, unsure whether to open
them or not. At the door, Seth frowned as he opened it, especially when he met Erin’s gleaming eyes.
What on earth was he thinking? Since the door was already open, he had no choice but to go in. He walked to the side of the
bed without a word, his gaze falling on the sleeping Isabella.
Following his gaze, Erin looked over, her face full of excitement. “Are you here to steal the bride?”
Seth said nothing. Isabella was shocked, and Erin was delighted. She pulled back sabella’s blanket, gently covered her with a
robe, and then looked up at Seth. “Quick, carry her away.”
