Chapter 471 Thank You
After breakfast, only Victoria appeared pleased.
Isabella had to force herself to eat during the meal. She didn’t want to listen
carefully to what Victoria was saying, especially in front of the stern and cold-
faced Seth. The difference in their backgrounds was too obvious, and every word
reminded her not to hold onto unrealistic fantasies.
Seth also felt uncomfortable. On one hand, he didn’t want to offend Victoria, but
on the other hand, he felt that everything she said was nonsense!
The only thing that made him happy was that she had sobered up and urged
them to return to Imperia that day.
“Mom, I want to stay with you a little longer,” said Isabella.
“There’s no need. I'm fine,” Victoria reassured. As long as she didn’t have an
episode, she was just like any other person, constantly urging them to leave.
Isabella knew that Seth couldn't stay in Bleaktown for long. Even if Victoria hadn't
mentioned it, he would have had to leave that very day.
“Then, I'll come back to see you in a couple of days.”
“There's no need to.”
Victoria stood at the entrance of the sanatorium and insisted on watching Isabella
get in the car.
Isabella had no choice but to call Joey to pick her up. When they met, Seth
snorted coldly in the car.
Joey was a smart man. He exchanged a glance with Isabella, didn’t say more
than necessary, and coaxed Victoria back into the sanatorium.
Finally, the car started, and Isabella heard Seth let out a sigh of relief.
“I apologize for the delay.”
Seth's displeasure had nothing to do with the time. He simply felt that Victoria
was oppressive, and it led him to think about Isabella’s upbringing.
He couldn't help but look back at her. “What was your childhood like?”
Isabella didn’t understand what he meant and said lightly, “When I was little, my
mother was quite normal, not like she is now.”
She leaned back in her seat, reminiscing about her childhood, and added, “Then
on day, she suddenly didn’t recognize me anymore and locked me outside,
saying I wasn't her daughter.”
Distant memories rushed back to her mind, and the lingering fear in her bones
instantly stirred up negative emotions. She took a deep breath and barely
managed to suppress her emotions.
Seth averted his gaze, feeling irritated.
He could sense that Victoria meant more to Isabella than anything else. There
was no doubt Isabella would truly listen to her mother and one day, she might
casually marry anyone.
“If you were asked to marry Nicolas, would you be willing?”
Isabella was taken aback by his question. “Nicolas?”
She gave a wry smile. “Mr. Shaffer, did you take my mom's words seriously?”
He sure knew how to get things done.
Seth muttered something inexplicable and then suddenly fell silent.
The atmosphere grew silent. Isabella felt oppressed, so she turned around and
close her eyes to rest.
Around half past ten a.m., the car arrived in the city of Imperia.
Seth had someone send Isabella back to the mansion, as he had other matters
to attend to.

Seth frowned. He sensed a negative vibe and found himself unable to look aw
her.
The car door closed, and he lingered there for a moment until Jordan came up to
remind him.
“Mr. Shaffer, Mr. Klenns is waiting.”

The next moment, Seth let go of the door handle and walked straight to the car in
front.
There were four cars in total, which formed two groups that went in opposite
directions.

Isabella sat in the car, recalling what
Victoria and Spencer had said. Her
expression remained calm, and her
thoughts were even more collected.
