Chapter 133 Striking Isabelle
Isabelle glanced at Cedric and chose to sit down on a chair. “Mr. Luke, you also said that was in the past. Are you helping everyone remember that Ms. Watson has already been dismissed?”
“You…” Cedric’s face darkened. He said, “This compartment has already been occupied by a few of us. Ms. Spencer, you should go to another compartment.”
Isabelle raised her head confidently. “Mr. Luke, since you say this is the executive compartment, and your company position level hasn’t reached that yet, so please go to another compartment.”
Cedric glared angrily at Isabelle, his face turning pale, and motioned for his group of people to a nearby private room.
Isabelle scanned the people present one by one, paying attention to which executives were friendly with Cedric.
In the adjacent compartment, Cedric’s secretary exclaimed angrily, “It is said that Ms. Spencer was a mistress who took over Ms. Watson’s position, forcing her to leave. She directly joined our company as a senior executive and now she wants to challenge Mr. Luke’s authority with her power.”
There were staff members who were unsure. “Did the third party take over?”
Cedric’s secretary told them, “Don’t you know about the events from the past couple of days? Ms. Watson and Mr. Levine had been engaged for many years, but Ms. Spencer intervened in their relationship, and now she has even taken over Ms. Watson’s position.”

“She was really out of line.”
“Just her, she still wants to be the vice president? Where does she look as capable as Ms. Watson?”
The employees were discussing among themselves. Seeing this, Cedric sneered.
The soundproofing of the private room was not good. Isabelle could hear the discussions here clearly.
Jarrett looked embarrassed. “Ms. Spencer, should we go out and teach them a lesson?”

Isabelle clenched her fist and coldly took the recorder, shaking her head. “Calm down.”
She ordered two dishes with light flavors.
However, she waited for half an hour and the food still hadn’t arrived.
Jarrett went out to inquire and came back angrily after a while, saying, “The restaurant manager said the dishes were served incorrectly. The dishes were brought to Mr. Luke’s private room.”
Isabelle squinted her eyes. “What a coincidence?”
“I think all the restaurant supervisors were bribed by Mr. Luke, deliberately making you embarrassed. Today, Mr. Levine is not here, so they…”
Isabelle stood up and coldly said, “It’s fine. Let’s just order takeout.”
She returned to the office and studied Cedric’s information. She called Glenda and said, “Glenda, can you help me look up someone’s
information…”

Throughout the entire afternoon, not a single executive reported work to Isabelle.
In her office, there was hardly anyone except her. It was evident that she was isolated by them. She couldn’t take on any work.
Jarrett was getting anxious. What if Warren asked tomorrow? Isabelle couldn’t fit in with the work here at all.
Isabelle, however, remained calm and composed. After finishing reading the architectural information of the five–star hotel, she glanced at her schedule and asked, “It’s three o’clock. Isn’t it time for the meeting of the new project?”
D
“Yes. But Mr. Luke didn’t come to inform you. He didn’t even consider you,” Jarrett said angrily.
Isabelle stood up. At that moment, Glenda’s information just arrived. She glanced at it, a slight curve appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she said, “He didn’t inform me, so I went on my own. Which floor is the meeting room on?”
***
In the 48th-floor conference room, a seminar on the project regarding five–star hotels was about to be held.
All the executives took their seats.
Cedric was making a phone call in a secluded corridor and proudly said, “Ms. Watson, I have been ignoring Isabelle since this morning. She was even mocked in the cafeteria at lunchtime. I spread the word about her interfering in your and Mr. Levine’s affairs. Even if she stays at Harmo Real Estate, nobody will cooperate with her in her work. The meeting for the new project is happening later…”
Amy sneered, “She is not allowed to attend the meeting. You know

how to undermine her when she is in a difficult situation. For Mr. Levine, you can say that she knows nothing about real estate. Mr. Levine won’t blame you, he will only think that she is hindering the work. The worse her reputation and incompetence in the company, the sooner I can come back. Go ahead and do it, I will promote you when I return.”
With her words, Cedric felt incredibly relieved. His eyes sparkled.
He returned to the conference room and said, “Let the hotel project meeting begin now.”
Marcelo Toland, the company supervisor, hesitated a bit beside him. “This meeting is crucial, if we don’t invite Ms. Spencer, I’m afraid…”
“What’s the point of calling her over? Does she understand? She’s pregnant, what is she coming for? Don’t let her delay Mr. Levine’s billion–dollar project!” Cedric sneered.
Marcelo immediately dared not say anything.
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open. Isabelle walked in, wearing a professional suit, with a cold smile on her face, and said, “Has the meeting started? I didn’t come late, did I? Mr. Luke, I really want to see how you perform.”
Cedric saw Isabelle and was inexplicably shaken by her presence. He felt that she somehow exuded Warren’s charisma.
But he thought of Amy’s support and instantly sneered disdainfully, “Ms. Spencer, what we are doing is a major project that Mr. Levine values. I heard that you sell jewelry. Is it appropriate for a woman who sells jewelry to preside over a real estate conference? Are you here to meddle?”
The executives of the company did not understand Isabelle.

When they heard that her major was not related to real estate at all, they all shook their heads.
“She didn’t understand real estate.”
“Does she think she can still lead a meeting with her attitude? Does she only care about showing off? She doesn’t value major projects at all!”
Cedric mockingly looked at Isabelle. “Ms. Spencer, it seems that everyone disagrees with you joining the meeting. If you really want to stay here, go and sit by the corner and listen!”
Eavesdropping is like being punished to stand. Jarrett clenched his hand in anger.
Isabelle calmly walked over to Cedric’s seat, glanced at Cedric’s name tag, and smiled, “This is the vice president’s seat. Mr. Luke, please stand up and make way.”
After speaking, she rudely pushed Cedric to the ground!
“Isabelle, you…” Cedric was taken aback and angrily got up, about to approach.
“What did you want to do to a pregnant woman?” Isabelle coldly glared at him.
Cedric instantly realized that she was carrying Warren’s child in her stomach, and his heart skipped a beat as he abruptly stopped, his face turning pale.
– Isabelle looked up, raised her chin, and said to everyone, “Let’s have a
meeting. You can continue the discussion.”
The executives looked at each other in surprise.

Cedric sat down and provocatively challenged Isabelle, “Ms. Spencer, we are discussing whether the hotel group should adopt a circular design or a twin structure, as we have not yet marked the land and it may occupy half of the city. How about you give us some advice?”
Isabelle raised her eyebrows, opened the project book, and said, “For a hotel group that will occupy half of the city, both circular and twin structures are limiting! Since it is a hotel cluster, it should be grand. Five–star hotels should pay more attention to comfort and space utilization. We can make good use of the existing hotel design models…”
As soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent.
The executives‘ perspectives gradually changed.
She was not ignorant about real estate; on the contrary, she was very knowledgeable.
Marcelo couldn’t help but interrupt, “Ms. Spencer, you spoke very professionally.”
“Expertise? Who doesn’t talk vaguely about it?” Cedric interrupted. “Ms. Spencer, if you have the ability, why don’t you come up and explain it in detail!”
Cedric was convinced that Isabelle was a jewelry maker, so she must be completely clueless about real estate. He wanted to embarrass her and make her lose face, and then he would go to Warren and complain that Isabelle disrupted the meeting and delayed the important matters.
“Sure,” Isabelle agreed lightly, handing the USB drive to Jarrett as she got up. Jarrett caught her gaze and immediately left the meeting room.
Isabelle walked towards the podium. She hadn’t reached the
microphone position yet when suddenly, the hotel model image on the big screen turned into an intense video!

The voices of the man and the woman intertwined. The sound and the image were too striking in the serious conference room.
Everyone suddenly looked up and found that the male protagonist in the video was Cedric, who was middle–aged.
He was being intimate with two women on the sofa in the private room, and it was obvious that they were not his wife.
Cedric froze, his face turning pale as he stood up and rushed to the stage. “Stop! Who uploaded this video? Turn it off!”
