Chapter 179

Seth’s words may have sounded like a joke, but it was clear to everyone that

he was provoking Gordon.

As expected, Gordon immediately halted his steps.

As Seth descended the stairs, the crowd instinctively made way for him.

Although they were in the Dunkstein Residence, it felt as if they were in the

Shaffers’ territory.

After adjusting his cuffs, Seth casually twisted the ring on his finger and

approached the shattered champagne glass.

Isabella stood behind Gordon, her gaze fixed on Seth’s every move. She even

slowed her breathing as she carefully observed him. What was his intention?

With one hand in his pocket, Seth calmly studied Rachel’s frightened

expression. “Miss Logan, which do you find more challenging-apologizing or

causing harm to others?”

Rachel seemed dazed, unable to comprehend why this distinguished man

would make things difficult for her. Trembling, she tilted her head back but

couldn’t utter a single word.

“The ambulance is here!” someone called out.

Relieved, Megan quickly signaled Ariel with her eyes. Once Ariel understood,

she first approached Gordon, who was about to speak, and then turned to

Seth, offering an apologetic smile. “Mr. Shaffer, why don’t we let the

paramedics take the injured away? Saving a life is more important, isn’t it?”

Seth nodded, seemingly unaffected by the situation. “Sure. You can do

whatever you want.”

This left the crowd puzzled, unable to comprehend Seth’s actions. Initially, it

seemed like he wanted to defend Isabella, but now he appeared indifferent

to the whole situation.

Only Isabella understood Seth’s behavior. He simply didn’t want to engage

with these people, and the ambulance couldn’t enter until the matter was

resolved.

Indeed, although the sound of an approaching ambulance could be heard

outside, the paramedics never entered the premises.

The crowd was initially confused, but soon realized the situation outside. The

courtyard was filled with black-clad men who clearly didn’t belong to the

Dunkstein Family.

While Seth didn’t refuse Rachel medical treatment, he blocked her path,

making it clear that she couldn’t leave without apologizing.

Isabella discreetly took a deep breath. Her gaze fixed on Seth’s back, slowly

moving upward, capturing every detail of his profile as she tried to gauge his

emotions.

However, Seth seemed mischievous and didn’t mention Isabella’s name or

ease the situation.

Meanwhile, Megan held her daughter, pleading with Ariel through her eyes,

but received an evasive gaze in return. “Mrs. Logan, just apologize. Your

daughter went too far.”

“Yes, she’s young and already so malicious.”

“Forget it. Everyone knows her family are new upstarts…”

Opinions were voiced, and whispers filled the air. The scene mirrored the one

where Isabella was accused moments ago.

Amidst it all, Isabella remained calm and silent.

Seeing the situation escalate, Ariel turned to Isabella. “Miss Symons, there’s

no need to go to such lengths, right? Considering it’s Gordon’s grandmother’s

80th birthday, why don’t you say something and get Mr. Shaffer to forgive

them…”

Ariel spoke the first part of her sentence loudly, but the second part was

spoken softly, as if she suspected Seth had feelings for Isabella,

Once again, Isabella became the center of attention. Ariel’s words were

clearly suggestive. If Isabella were a sensible young woman, she would let it

go and stop insisting on an apology.

It was a blatant attempt at moral coercion.

Isabella pursed her lips, remaining silent as she looked at Seth once more.

He seemed to sense her gaze and turned around. Their eyes met halfway.

His gaze appeared playful, and the smile on his lips gave the impression of

indifference. However, Isabella knew all too well that his smile was a warning.

Meanwhile, the crowd eagerly watched. It was evident that Seth was

standing up for Isabella, so if she pleaded with him now, it would make him

appear meddlesome.

Releasing her hand from Gordon’s grip, Isabella walked past the shattered
