Chapter 843

• Isabella’s eyes welled up with frustration, and she nodded stiffly. “Grandpa, Liza must have misunderstood my intentions. It’s my fault for not explaining clearly…”
• His frown deepened, and he sighed in disapproval. “If a man truly has other interests, no amount of interference can prevent it. The more she tries to control him, the weaker she appears. Isabella, tell her directly that I want to speak with President Stone about business.”
