Albert just sat there and watched Isabella stumble, the car chasing after her.
He watched it with great interest, like a cheetah savoring the hunt.
Isabella was the prey.
Albert regarded it as training.
The man was excited by Isabella's struggles, and impressed by her determination. She was much smarter and braver than Hailee.
Albert gave her a simple task, but Hailee screwed it up. She killed the people who hurt her. She thought she did it flawlessly, but she was caught in the end.
She deserved her sentence—life in prison.
Isabella was different. Smarter, more tenacious. She learned from her mistakes. She could be trained to become a useful tool. Such a girl might help him remove many obstacles in the future.
But right now, she was just exhausted. She had used everything in her bag of tricks, but she just couldn't shake the car that was chasing her. The car was like gum on the bottom of her shoe. Gum she couldn't scrape off.
Albert figured she was probably done for the day. He pressed a button on his headset and told Ford, "She's had enough. Let's wrap t
nkly. Then he looked inside and said, "Since Mr. Shi and Nina are in there, I think it would be best for me to go."
Recently, John had been trying to get Albert's overseas business. They were now competing so it was not appropriate for them to meet now.
Besides, John and Nina would figure out that Albert and Kristina were linked. And that meant nothing but trouble.
Noah looked at Albert curiously. He was acting strange.
Albert explained, "Actually, there was a rumor that Nina and I were boyfriend and girlfriend, but it was really just a rumor. I'm afraid that Mr. Shi might get jealous. So there will be less drama if I stay away.
I'm taking off." Albert turned around and waved. "Don't tell them I was here."
Noah didn't ask any more questions and walked into the ward.
Nina gave Noah a conspiratorial look. "Who were you talking to outside the ward just now?
A guy or a girl?" Everyone stared at her for asking such an odd question.
But all Nina wanted was to fix Noah up with someone, just like Kristina asked. It would be easier if he was talking to a girl.
