Chapter 396: Isaac is Going to Meet Her
Isaac was silent for a moment.
He neither condemned Wesley's dirty tactics nor praised him.
He said in a deep voice, "Go on."
"Okay." Wesley's tone became more serious as he continued, "The bodyguard said it was Liora who did it."
"He said Liora got drunk that night, and after returning in the middle of the night, she went to Mr. Magnus Porter's room, dragged him out forcibly, beat him up, and threw him onto the electric grid."
"Mr. Magnus Porter was thrown onto the electric grid several times, getting electrocuted to the point of incontinence and foaming at the mouth."
"They couldn't stop Liora, so they went to inform Sylvie. By the time Sylvie arrived to stop Liora, Mr. Magnus Porter had already passed out."
"Sylvie locked Liora up, but it didn't seem like a punishment. More likely, she did it to protect her, worried that if she was exposed in front of you, you would retaliate against her."
"Because the bodyguard said that Sylvie immediately had the surveillance video of Liora's violence destroyed and dealt with the servants who witnessed the incident but were not trustworthy."
After Wesley finished speaking, he could clearly feel the terrifying pressure from the other end of the phone.
Wesley didn't dare to breathe heavily, let alone ask Isaac what to do next. He could only endure the immense pressure and wait for Isaac to speak.
Isaac's breath was cold, and he was enveloped in a dangerous aura.
But his voice was surprisingly calm, "Come back, there's no need to dig any deeper."
Wesley was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Should I come back now? Don't we need to avenge Mr. Magnus Porter?"
This didn't seem like Isaac's character!
Isaac had always been vengeful.
If someone hurt him or his loved ones, or anyone he cared about, he would never let it go and would retaliate doubly.
Repaying evil with good was not Isaac's way of dealing with things.
But now, Isaac's own son had been so brutally abused, and Isaac didn't order to deal with the culprit, but instead told him not to investigate further?
This was too strange!
Isaac said calmly, "Yes, come back to your normal work, there's no need to look into that anymore."
Wesley was stunned for a long time before finally saying, "Okay."
Isaac hung up the phone, threw the phone on the table, and tapped his fingers on the table, his eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
In the following period, Isaac took no action.
He went to work as usual and even cooperated with Amara to go on dates.
His attitude was neither cold nor warm.
But Amara was very excited. Every time she went out on a date with Isaac, she would take many photos, add some flirty captions, and post them on Facebook.
She didn't block anyone, so Liora naturally saw them too.
Although Liora was grounded by Sylvie, her phone was not taken away, nor was her internet cut off.
When she saw Amara's Facebook posts, Liora was so angry that she trembled all over, filled with resentment.
At the beginning, Sylvie intended for her to marry Isaac, but now Amara had despicably stolen Isaac away.
She was unwilling!
She and Isaac were the perfect couple.
What right did a brainless waste like Amara have to stand by Isaac's side?
'Mom is so unfair. When Amara acts spoiled, she helps her, letting her date Isaac and even move in with him, but she never helps me to get close to Isaac.'
'She even talks about fair competition between me and Amara, but that's a joke! She always helps Amara and keeps me from seeing Isaac!'
The more Liora thought about it, the more resentful she felt, and the more she believed Sylvie was too biased.
Although Sylvie always said she valued her and wanted her to take over the company.
She used to believe that too.
But now she started to doubt.
Did Sylvie really value her, or was she just using her as a laborer?
Although Sylvie didn't let Amara get involved in the company affairs, it was because Amara didn't want to and only wanted to play.
But the money Sylvie gave Amara was no less than what she gave her.
She contributed so much to the Hansen family, yet she enjoyed the same treatment as Amara, or even less.
Who did Sylvie really value?
Liora's eyes were gloomy, and she clenched her fists tightly.
"I won't let it go like this. I must find a way to win Isaac over. A guy like him deserves someone like me—smart, strong, independent, and capable of standing by his side!"
"Amara, I won't let you win."
Liora picked up her phone again, her eyes dark as she looked at Isaac's account in her friend list.
When Isaac agreed to Sylvie's request to try to develop feelings with them, both she and Amara added Isaac as a friend.
But she was naturally aloof and couldn't bring herself to take the initiative to show goodwill to Isaac, so even though she wanted Isaac and was very unwilling to see Amara getting close to him, she never took the initiative to contact Isaac.
At this moment, Liora opened Isaac's chat box, still unable to let go of her pride, and couldn't send a single word.
She repeatedly opened Isaac's profile and Facebook.
Isaac's Facebook was set to be visible for half a month.
But in the past half month, he hadn't posted anything, and his Facebook was blank.
When she opened Isaac's profile for the tenth time, she found that Isaac had posted a new Facebook status.
The content was: [Noisy women are juat so annoying. Listening to them ramble is a torture. I'd much rather be with cold, calm, self-reliant, independent, and capable girls who can talk to me about business matters instead of wasting time on useless chatter.]
Liora's eyes widened, and her heart surged with excitement, her hands trembling.
The traits Isaac described matched her perfectly. Wasn't he talking about her?
She knew it, Isaac wouldn't like Amara.
She guessed right!
Unexpectedly, Isaac also had a good impression of her!
Liora was ecstatic.
She was overjoyed alone for half an hour before calming down a bit.
She picked up her phone again, opened Isaac's chat box, and after editing for a long time, finally composed a message, then put aside her pride, made up her mind, and clicked send.
[Mr. Porter, this is Liora. Do you remember me?]
After a few minutes, Isaac replied, [Yes, I remember. You made quite an impression on me.]
Liora's heart raced at his response, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, [Then Mr. Porter, what kind of deep impression did I leave on you?]
Isaac: [You have a very unique vibe—a business elite aura that is pretty rare among women.]
Liora's smile deepened.
She knew it, she and Isaac were a perfect match.
With Isaac's successful career, he would definitely want a woman who could fight alongside him, not a useless woman who knew nothing.
Liora: [Mr. Porter, you have a good eye. I humbly accept your compliment.]
[By the way, I have a few business questions. Would you be able to give me some guidance, Mr. Porter?]
She seized the moment to keep the conversation going, hoping to continue long-term communication with Isaac.
Once she opened this door, she could use the same excuse in the future to ask him questions, pretending not to understand.
Isaac: [It's getting late. Staying up late isn't good for your skin and health. You should get some rest.]
Liora felt a wave of disappointment. Was Isaac rejecting her?
Soon, Isaac sent another message: [Tomorrow, I will go to Viridonia. I can teach you in person.]
