"Also, Isabella, I support you being with Xiu, so no matter what happens, I'm on your side." Jeffery Johnsons expressed himself directly while Ruth Upperton was out.
"..."
But Isabella Lindsey was stunned.
For a moment, she felt at a loss.
Then, she spoke softly, "Grandpa Jeffery, I think you've misunderstood. The Team Leader and I have a superior-subordinate relationship. We've signed a contract that includes accompanying for meals and living...etc., but that doesn't mean I'm with him."
When she mentioned the part about accompanying for meals and living, Isabella's voice noticeably weakened.
If she had known from the start it was such an ambiguous contract, she never would've signed it. She was completely deceived.
At this moment, Jeffery suddenly realized, "Isabella, when you signed the work contract, did you still think I was the King?"
"Yes." Isabella nodded.
