Chapter 408: Chapter 424: You’re Investigating Me? (6)

Then she stumbled into someone’s embrace, and the next second, she heard Elijah’s infuriated voice: "Mrs. Wood, I warn you, you need to provide solid evidence when you talk. You took these few photos and tried to fool us here. If you have the guts, show us a photo of Isabel and Joseph rolling around in bed, and then come here and make a fuss. If you keep on making a scene like this, we can sue you for defamation!"

"You sue me then! Does a mistress deserve justice? I don’t believe the police would side with the mistress!"

"You f*cking..." Elijah looked furious to his bones, raising his finger to point at Joseph’s wife and appeared as if he was ready to slap her at any moment, letting out a string of curses from his mouth.

After his rant, Elijah gasped, wrapped his arm around Isabel’s waist, and brought her away from the chaotic scene without hesitation.

Next to the Bellshire Grand Hotel was the Four Seasons Hotel. Elijah booked a room there and, still somewhat dazed from the recent turn of events, grabbed Isabel and went upstairs.

Upon entering the room, Elijah sat Isabel on the sofa and immediately called to have a waiter bring up a piece of ice.

Ice arrived quickly. Elijah wrapped it in a towel and, still visibly upset, walked over to Isabel and pressed the towel against her face.

Isabel then looked up at him and saw his sullen face. She quickly lowered her eyes again, picked up the remote control on the table, and turned on the TV to the station broadcasting the Smith Corporation’s annual meeting.

The annual meeting had already begun. Everyone’s faces were filled with joyous anticipation, as if the scene from just now had never happened.

The host smiled as he introduced the prizes for this night’s annual meeting, making the employees in the audience even more eager to participate.

The performances were meticulously rehearsed, each segment seemingly exciting and full of humor, but Isabel couldn’t bring herself to laugh.

After each performance, an award would be announced. The third award was the Best Team Award.

This was originally meant for Isabel’s department by Mrs. Smith, but because of the chaos at the beginning of the annual meeting, Evelyn was chosen to receive the award on stage at the last minute.

A radiant Evelyn stood on the stage, accepting the applause from everyone. She looked exceedingly beautiful.

So beautiful that it was slightly blinding, causing a pang of pain to well up in Isabel’s heart.

It was only at this moment that Isabel finally realized the true meaning of what Evelyn had said to her in the company - that whoever laughs last is the most formidable!

Supposedly, the scene with Joseph and her was something that Sebastian’s family had planned long beforehand.

Isabel’s hand suddenly clenched into a fist, and her gaze turned cold. She never expected them to pull such a trick.

She thought that everything had been smooth sailing since her return to the country. It turned out that it was all just an illusion. There was nothing shameless that she could not think of, and nothing faceless that Evelyn and her gang wouldn’t do!

Just a few days ago, she was in high spirits, thinking that Evelyn would never gain the upper hand with her. Yet, in the blink of an eye, she lost miserably in the end!

Isabel watched as Evelyn tearfully expressed her winning speech on the TV screen. A burning pain swelled in her eyes, and after a while, she turned to Elijah, hurriedly speaking in a hoarse voice: "Elijah, believe me, nothing happened between Joseph and me."

She could fail at everything else and start from scratch if necessary, but when it came to Elijah, she would absolutely not lose to him.
