I Quit Mr. Shaffer ( Isabella Symons ) Chapter 456

Chapter 456 Becoming His Companion

Chapter 456

Thanks to that bracelet, Isabella and Seth were finally able to spend two days in relative

harmony.

The anniversary celebration of Shaffer Jewelry was magnificent, especially with the

addition of that gemstone; it shook the entire industry.

On the day of the celebration, Shaffer Group announced the name of the raw stone –

Redemption.

Seth named it himself.

Isabella sat in Celine’s studio for styling as she listened to people discussing the grand

event. She felt a sense of pride.

Coincidentally, Courtney was also invited and was sitting next to her as she got her hair

done.

“Is Seth coming to pick you up later?”

Isabella was taken aback. “I’m driving myself.

Courtney clicked her tongue. “Driving yourself? Is Seth out of his mind to let his female

companion drive herself?”

Isabella quickly retorted, “I’m just an invitee, not his companion.”

Normally, it would be fine, but on a day like today, getting close to Seth would be like

walking into a nest of trouble.

Moreover, Isabella guessed that the old man would also be there today, and the one

accompanying Seth should be Bloom.

“What a pity, those who should be together are not.”

Courtney complained as she leaned into Isabella’s ear and said, “You don’t know, Bloom

almost pretended to be ill to avoid being in the same frame as Seth.”

Isabella laughed out loud, then curiously asked, “She doesn’t like Seth at all?”

“Of course,” Courtney curled her lips as she spread her hands and said, “Apart from

being good-looking and wealthy, Seth has many flaws.”

After she said that, she began to criticize him. “This guy is sarcastic, looks down on

people, is arrogant, and has had a foolish attitude since he was a child, as if his eyes

were on top of his head. It would be a miracle if anyone liked him.”

Isabella was speechless.

As she thought about it, it made sense.

“But Bloom is also unlucky; she likes Simon, but I guess it’s hopeless.” Courtney shook

her head.

Isabella was interested in this gossip and couldn’t help but ask, “Does Mr. Gates have

someone he likes?”

“He’s too rational.” Courtney sighed and said, “You know, in our circle, there are also

social hierarchies. The Shaffers, Comptons, Flowers, and Wells are in the top tier, and

our catering and beauty industry can only be considered the second tier. The Gates

Family was actually similar to ours in the early years, but Mr. Gates was not good at

business, and he married Simon’s mother,

which cost a lot. Simon is also under a lot of

pressure, and I guess he’s been prepared for a strategic marriage.”

Isabella thought of the previous marriage between Simon and Lara and then thought of

Bloom. She was puzzled. “Then shouldn’t he accept Bloom?”

Courtney laughed. “That’s where his rationality comes in. The Flowers Family is not

foolish. In our circle, there are only a few people who can match the Flowers Family. If

Simon marries Bloom, he will most likely become subordinate to the Flowers Family.

How could he agree to that?”

Isabella sighed and fell silent.

“What about you?” She thought for a moment and asked Courtney.

Courtney shrugged. “It depends on fate.”

Isabella thought of her ambiguous relationship with Leonard and quietly pursed her

lips.

The conversation ended just as the dresses arrived.

Neither of them liked long trailing gowns, so they chose short dresses that reached just

above the knee.

Isabella specifically chose black as she was worried about getting drinks spilled on her

at the banquet.

Courtney tutted behind her. “Suddenly, I understand Seth a bit.”

Isabella didn’t hear clearly. “What?”

Courtney shrugged and did not repeat herself.

The door to the dressing room was pushed open from outside, and the assistant said,

“Miss Symons, Mr. Shaffer is here to pick you up.”

Isabella was surprised.

Courtney made a sound of surprise next to her. “Looks like he’s not hopeless after all.”
