Chapter 697
"This lady wants to see the boss, but she doesn't have an invitation," the guard said respectfully. "She brought a gift for him."
Isabel chuckled softly. She hooked the box of coffee beans with her index finger. "These are some pricey coffee beans. Must've been a hassle to get them."
Haley narrowed her eyes, sensing the hostility in her tone. This Isabel must be someone close to Leonardo, maybe his lover or wife. Did Isabel misunderstand her intentions towards Leonardo?
Haley quickly said, "Miss Spencer, hello. My husband and I would like to thank Mr. Windsor in person."
Thomas, having known Haley for years, picked up on the situation immediately. He stepped forward and said politely, "Miss Spencer, here's the deal: my wife and I were attacked yesterday, and thanks to Mr. Windsor, we got away. So we brought a small gift to show our gratitude."
Isabel's gaze towards Haley finally softened. She curled her red lips into a smile. "I'll deliver the gift for you. You can leave now."
With that, Isabel swayed her slender waist and ample hips as she walked inside.
She walked through the iron gate and reached the villa's entrance, only to be stopped again by the guards. After they searched her, they finally let her in.
Isabel entered the living room and sat on the sofa, waiting for what felt like forever without seeing Leonardo. A servant came over and whispered, "Mr. Windsor is in a meeting. These usually last at least two hours."
Isabel scoffed. Every time Leonardo finished a meeting, he'd announce new policies, turning Hinterlands into an almost unrecognizable war zone.
Isabel was the youngest daughter of a top mafia official. If it weren't for consolidating her family's power, she wouldn't be here trying to seduce Leonardo.
She glanced at the time. After waiting for half an hour, she was at her limit. Just as she stood up to leave, she saw Leonardo coming down the stairs, surrounded by people.
Every time she'd seen Leonardo before, he wore a golden mask, showing only a pair of sinister eyes. She always thought there was a hideous face behind that mask. She didn't expect it to be so captivating.
Leonardo had a scar running from the corner of his eye to the edge of his lips, which didn't mar his face's beauty but added a domineering aura. His scar hadn't marred his lips, which were as sharp as a blade.
Isabel felt her heart skip a beat. By the time she came to her senses, the meeting attendees had left, and Leonardo had already put on his golden mask.
"Leonardo, you..."
For the first time in her life, Isabel hesitated, unsure of what to say. Leonardo's cold eyes swept over her. "Who are you?" Isabel stayed silent.
Her father was the highest-ranking official, second only to the leader of the mafia. Everyone around here knew her. Even if Leonardo was new, they'd met several times. She was the only young and beautiful woman here, and she wondered if he really didn’t know her.
This made Isabel angry and more infatuated. Leonardo was the first man to ignore her, which sparked her desire to conquer him.
"I'm Quillan Spencer's daughter. My name is Isabel Spencer. Everyone calls me Isabel," she said with a coquettish smile as she stepped forward. "Leonardo, my father asked me to visit you."
"Now that you've seen me, you can leave," Leonardo said bluntly.
