Isabella graciously hugged Gordon, then naturally
stepped back and opened the door to the
passenger seat by herself.
Gordon liked her straightforwardness and grabbed
a large bouquet of roses from the back seat as
soon as he got in the car. “Fresh flowers for the
beautiful lady.”
With a slight tilt of his head, his bright red hair and
mischievous smile increased his charming and
roguish aura exponentially. If a shy young woman
had been in the passenger seat, she would have
blushed from shyness.
However, Isabella simply lowered her head to take

a sniff. Then, she slightly curved her lips and sighed
softly. “They smell nice.”
“Don’t you like them?” Gordon noticed her
somewhat stiff expression.
A hint of loneliness flashed in Isabella’s eyes as she
held the flowers in her arms. “I just went through a
breakup. Seeing roses makes me a bit melancholic,
so I can’t accept them right now.”
She couldn’t outright reject Gordon, so she could
only try to indirectly convey her thoughts and hope
the young man would get the hint.
Gordon let out a grunt and snapped his fingers.
“Healing period. Got it.”
Isobella breathed a sigh of relief, hoping he truly
understood
Ride a lap around the racetrack and you’ll forget
about everything.”
With that, Gordon stepped on the accelerator, and
the car gradually sped forward.
Isabella didn’t enjoy this feeling and was a bit
scared, so she could only discreetly hold onto the
seatbelt.
Fortunately, the horse ranch was located on the
outskirts of Imperia, so the journey wasn’t long. Just
as Isabella was about to feel the urge to puke,
Gordon parked the car.

“If you don’t like the flowers, just leave them and get
out of the car.” Gordon’s words were concise, and
he casually took Isabella’s large bouquet of flowers
before tossing them onto the back seat.
Isabella couldn’t be happier. Roses were already
suggestive, and she had come with Gordon to
expand her network. It would be troublesome if it
led to any misunderstandings.
She got out of the car with Gordon, and as soon as
the door opened, she was hit with a strong scent of
grass and could even see an endless expanse of
green through the white picket fence.
The horse ranch operated on a membership
system, just like a comprehensive club, and it

offered a wide range of amenities.
Gordon led Isabella inside and applied for a card
with a value of two hundred thousand on the spot,
then casually handed it to Isabella. “Come on, let
me introduce you to some friends.”
Isabella put away the card, deciding to return it
later. Then, she followed Gordon and casually
asked, “Do you know the owner of this ranch?”
Shrugging his shoulders, Gordon replied, “I don’t,
but Tyrone knows.”
While he was speaking, he led Isabella to a large
table seated with several people. Everyone at the
table looked over in their direction and was
instantly in an uproar.

“Mr. Dunkstein, you’re such a spoilsport! How could
you let us wait so long?”
Once Gordon arrived, a young woman immediately
moved to the side and planned on sitting beside
him. However, he disregarded her and pushed the
young woman’s hand away, pulling Isabella
forward.
“Let me introduce you all to Isabella Symons.”
Everyone at the table looked at each other, while
the men all had mischievous faces.
Isabella crossed her hands before her and nodded
politely. “Pardon my intrusion, everyone.”

“Why are you so formal with them?” Gordon tugged
her over and made her sit in the only available
seat. Then, he pointed at each person around them
and introduced them to her. “Lyra Wilson, Freya
Houghton, Tyrone Jester, Skyler Andrews-”
Halfway through, he noticed several unfamiliar
faces and furrowed his brows. “The rest you don’t
have to know.”
Isabella guessed those whom Gordon introduced
must be his friends while the rest were just female
companions.
“Gordon has some skills. Any woman he brings is a
beauty. That’s something I can’t compete with.”
Tyrone rose to his feet to pour Isabella a glass of

juice. He winked at her. “Bella, how did you and
Gordon meet each other?”
Just as he finished speaking, Gordon rolled his
eyes. “Don’t call her that. Do you know her well?”
Everyone was in an uproar.
Isabella noticed that the several female
companions didn’t look happy, and she sighed
discreetly. It seemed like she had offended others
without knowing it again. She sipped her juice and
smiled. “It wasn’t a pleasant encounter at first. I
caused some trouble for Mr. Dunkstein because of
work, and he was generous enough not to pursue
- it. Also, I was lucky that he accepted me as his
friend.”

Her words fueled Gordon’s dignity, and all the men
at the table had looks of realization while clicking
their tongues.
“You were lucky? With your looks, it’s him who
should feel lucky.” The woman named Freya joked
before leaning against Skyler. It was obvious that
they were a couple.
Isabella chuckled softly but didn’t respond.
Gordon thought he had shown off enough and was
reluctant to let the others keep looking at Isabella,
so he impatiently tapped the table. “Well, aren’t we
here to ride horses? Hurry up, then.”
Hearing that, Tyrone teased, “It’s just riding horses.

What’s the rush?”
Everyone burst into laughter.
Gordon placed his hand on Isabella’s shoulder and
casually said, “With so many people today,
shouldn’t I go and pick out a good horse for her?”
“Gordon, you’re such a compassionate gentleman.”
Another round of playful banter ensued while
Isabella could only smile and lower her head,
sipping her juice.
Luckily, the group knew where to draw the line. After
having fun, they all stood up and went to pick out
their horses.

On the way, they chatted casually.
With his hands in his pocket, Tyrone gazed at the
ranch with admiration. “The Gates Family is truly
formidable. They even managed to secure such a
large piece of land in Imperia.”
Skyler smiled and lowered his voice to say, “It’s all
thanks to the support of the Shaffer Family.
Otherwise, it would have taken them even longer to
acquire this piece of land.”
Hearing the mention of the Gates Family, Isabella
felt something was amiss. When she heard the
Shaffer name, her heart sank, and she couldn’t help
but ask, “The Shaffer Family?”

Skyler glanced at her and reminded her, “The same
