The next day, Isabella conducted a thorough investigation on Mr. Brown from
Nemotors. She also asked Natasha to introduce her to someone special
before Gordon came to pick her up. Over the past few years, the Dunkstein
Family’s business had experienced exponential growth in Imperia. Since it
was Old Mrs. Dunkstein’s 80th birthday, many of the guests were wealthy and
influential individuals. Isabella followed Natasha’s advice and dressed up for
the event.
“You might find your prince charming,” Natasha teased Isabella during their
phone call. Isabella felt exasperated, thinking that she was too old to hope for
her prince charming to magically appear. The attendees of the Dunkstein
Family’s event are probably important people. I don’t want to cause any
trouble for myself, Isabella thought.
The special person that Natasha sent arrived just as Isabella finished doing
her makeup. “Hello, Isabella.” The woman in her twenties had gorgeous
features. Her mannerisms were similar to Natasha’s, but she seemed more
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtplayful and flirtatious. Isabella knew the type of woman she was looking for,
but she still felt displeased when she saw the young lady.
“You’re…” Isabella started.
“I’m Molly. I’ve been in this field for a while,” the woman said with a polite smile
and a sharp gaze. Isabella’s gaze shifted to Molly’s outfit. Molly was dressed in
a V-necked gown that showcased her seductive figure. Any man would be
attracted to her. “Don’t feel pressured. I’m different from you-I’m not highly
educated, and I’m not very picky or particular about things.” Molly tried to
reassure Isabella when she saw her silence:
Isabella took a deep breath before smiling. “I understand.” She let Molly in and
handed her a summer hat and a coat. “My friend will pick us up later. Try to
remain quiet,” Isabella advised.
Molly understood what Isabella meant. “Don’t worry about me,” Molly replied.
After that, Isabella nodded and went upstairs to grab her purse. She came
down just in time to hear a car honk outside her house. She called for Molly to
join her before they both left the house together.
It was unusual to see Gordon so well-dressed, but that day, he wore a suit
and had his hair neatly combed. He wore a bright red necktie, which made
him look completely different from his usual self. His eyes lit up when he saw
Isabella. “Hurry up and get in. This outfit is making me feel really warm,” he
said, trying to hide his grumpy expression.
Moments later, he noticed the woman behind Isabella and gave her a
puzzled glance. However, Isabella gestured for Molly to enter the car before
saying anything. “We’ll just have to bring her along with us,” Isabella
explained. Gordon was a smart man and was more than happy to go along
with anything Isabella told him. He gestured for Molly to get into the car
without further questioning.
The car took them to the wealthy housing area in the north of the city. They
arrived at a stretch of villas, one of which the Dunksteins had purchased for
Old Mrs. Dunkstein. As they drove on the roads, they were surrounded by
luxury cars of all kinds. Some of the cars were rare or limited-edition vehicles.
Isabella sighed to herself as she got out of the car. The Dunksteins are no
longer just a family of new money. Give them a few years, and they’ll be at
the top of the chain in Imperia, she thought to herself.

own. She disappeared from sight after that.
Isabella followed Gordon through the front entrance. Despite keeping her

head low, she attracted a lot of attention from the people around her. Gordon
didn’t show any intention of keeping her a secret-he brought her upstairs to
introduce her to Old Mrs. Dunkstein immediately upon their arrival.
Isabella found this rather inappropriate and looked around self-consciously.
“I don’t think that’s necessary, Gordon. You can just pass my gift to her,”
Isabella suggested. She was worried that others might misunderstand her
relationship with Gordon if they saw him introducing her to his family. Gordon,
however, wasn’t concerned-he would have loved nothing more than to
announce his relationship with Isabella to the world.
“What’s the matter? It’s rude if you don’t greet my grandmother during your
first meeting with her,” he mumbled in an annoyed tone. Isabella was
speechless and had no choice but to let him drag her upstairs. The guests
downstairs were enjoying themselves, but some noticed the attractive
couple. Word quickly spread among the crowd when they saw the couple
heading upstairs.
Once Gordon and Isabella reached the second floor, they found a few
