CHAPTER 18

Chapter 18

Clayton liked seeing her angry. With her fluffy hair, she looked like a lion cub, so beautifull

Isabella’s big eyes blinked, and tears rolled down her cheeks before she burst into tears.

Clayton panicked, clumsily tried to wipe her tears, and comforted her gently, “Don’t cry, Isabella. Don’t cry,”

Isabella struggled desperately and still bawled.

“Okay, I’ll give you the money. Here it is. Don’t cry. I’ll give it to you.” Clayton was at a loss, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly, her crying stopped. Isabella’s eyes were teary and so clear that he could see his reflection. “Really? You’ll give me my money back?” Her face was still streaked with tear stains.

Clayton glanced outside from the corner of his eyes and nodded. “Follow me to sign something, and I can give you 150 thousand dollars

first,” he said.

Isabella bit her lips and thought, ‘150 thousand dollars. I don’t blame him for getting mad at me after finding out I used him to make money, but I absolutely can’t give him the 300 thousand dollars. Fine, I’ll take the 150 thousand dollars. At least I’ll get half of it back first.”

Isabella sniffled and wiped her tears with the back of her hand, “Sign what?” Clayton already got out of the car, standing by her door and opening it for her.

Clayton put his arm around her waist and guided her inside the building while his other hand smoothed and combed her messy hair. “Your name.” Then he helped her stand, looked at her, and nodded in satisfaction.

“Sign the marriage application, and I’ll give you 150 thousand dollars when we get back to the car,” Clayton whispered alluringly with his hands on her shoulder.

Johnny, following them, couldn’t bear to watch it and turned his head to the other side. It looked as if Clayton was a bad guy trying to lure a child by saying “Follow me, and I’ll buy you some candies“.

He silently thanked his lucky stars, ‘Today is truly an eye–opener. Next time I see Mr. Benny Murray, I’ll definitely tell him about this. He’ll surely be happy and maybe even gift me the Pearl Royale Chess Set. I’m so lucky to be the one tasked with them.”

Isabella bit her nails as she pondered, ‘I earned 300 thousand dollars by selling Clayton out once. He and Nathan won’t let me go easily if I’m caught again. Marrying Clayton is part of my original plan anyway. It’ll facilitate me leaving home. Okay, I’ll marry him! Besides, I can get 150 thousand dollars back. As for the remaining 151.5 thousand dollars, I’ll get them back slowly. A watched pot never boils. Since I’m at fault first, I should concede.

Therefore, she nodded and obediently followed Clayton through filling in the application and getting the marriage license.

The corner of Johnny’s mouth twitched.

Even Kayson, with a big imagination, could never imagine their supreme boss would use such improper means to coerce and bribe his wife into marrying him.

He thought, “Poor Ms. Sorenson! It’s obvious that this is the story of how the big bad wolf eats the three little pigs. Ms. Sorenson’s IQ is quite worrisome. Mr. Murray is using your 150 thousand dollars to buy your signature, Ms. Sorenson!”

Chapter 18

The reason isabella couldn’t figure out such a simple logic was her awareness of her wrongdoing for selling Clayton out. Therefore, she was. calmly being taken advantage of by Clayton. Poor Isabella!

Looking at the marriage license, Isabella sat in the car dazedly.

In a good mood, Clayton took the marriage license from her. “I’ll keep it.”

Isabella didn’t object. “Give me back my money.” Isabella stretched her hand out to Clayton.

Clayton said to Johnny, “Transfer 150 thousand dollars to my wife.”

Clayton addressing Isabella as his wife stunned her and Johnny, but Clayton himself was overjoyed. He hugged Isabella. “Let’s go home, Mrs. Murray.” He turned to the driver and said, “To the mansion.”

Isabella thought, “How can I forget the most important thing?’ She broke free from him. “We haven’t signed the prenuptial agreement yet!”

She pushed Clayton away to reach for her bag, recalling catching a glimpse of Johnny putting the things on her desk into it.

Sure enough, she found the half–written agreement.

She grabbed the agreement and sat up straight. “I haven’t finished it yet. I’ll askyou to sign it once I’m done.”

Clayton took it and glanced at it. “A prenuptial agreement? Now that we’re married, Mrs. Murray, there is no need to sign such a thing.” He then threw the paper underneath the seat.

“Hey! You can’t throw that away!” Isabella panicked, bending down to look for it. She pushed Clayton’s long legs away, reaching for the paper ball under the car seat.

Clayton pulled her onto his lap and caressed her waist, saying with strange amusement, “Are you seducing me right now, Mrs. Murray?”

Isabella froze. She was so anxious that she climbed over Clayton and felt his body’s reaction clearly.

Isabella realized what it was and sat up abruptly. Her long hair hung down her back, and her face blushed.

She was about to speak, but Clayton leaned close, almost on top of her. She was so scared that she didn’t dare to move.

Clayton grabbed her nape to prevent her from evading him and covered her eyes with another hand.

Being stared by her big, innocent eyes at that moment would evoke a sense of guilt for destroying the young.

Isabella closed her eyes obediently, but her mind had already stopped working.

Clayton wasn’t satisfied with just kissing her lips. His tongue wanted to pry open her teeth.

Isabella clenched her teeth tightly. Her rationale told her to resist, but she was clueless about how to.

Clayton’s hand moved to her waist. Her body shivered when his rough hand gently stroked her tender skin.

His big hand pressed against her waist a little harder, making Isabella yelped, but the sound was drowned by his mouth covering her lips.

Isabella’s mind went blank. She let Clayton take whatever he wanted as her body slowly weakened. Just when Isabella felt that she was about to suffocate, Clayton finally let go of her lips.

Chapter 18

Clayton’s mood brightened when he looked at her rosy, swollen lips.

With blushed cheeks, Isabella breathed deeply and suddenly realized that she was in the car. Embarrassement filled her. However, she saw that a partition had been raised, separating them from the driver and Johnny..

Clayton glanced at her, looking disheveled, with a devilish smile. She turned het back to him and looked out the window.

She thought. This man is too dangerous.’

However, Clayton didn’t intend to let her go, throwing his arms around her waist. Isabella exclaimed in shock, feeling his grip tightened around her waist. She fell into his arms, and he shielded her head from hitting the roof.

Isabella’s face turned redder. She struggled but was afraid of making a sound that the people at the front could hear, so she bit her lip and pushed Clayton’s hard chest.
