Ask for Friend's Help at the Critical Moment

As Cedric hung up the phone abruptly, Isabella became a little out of her mind.

She realized the appointment tonight might not be a normal one.

She did not know what Cedric wanted her to do, and Octavio's warning was still in her mind.

If it were in the past, she would never think that Cedric, who always treated her gently, would be a threat to her. However, ever since they separated from each other, she felt that he was no longer the man she knew before.

Just like what Octavio had said ...

He was the young master of the Stretton family who controlled the underworld, vicious, sinister, and merciless.

If she did not go ... would she be able to disregard the bombing at Slike's Restaurant?

As the daughter, how could she ignore the trouble her father was facing for her own well-being? How could she disregard the infamy her father had been bearing for so many years?
