Chapter 167
An excited Isabella was eager to take Alex for a ride. The exasperated Alex
simply replied, “You don’t have a car plate with you right now.”
Oh, right. Isabella turned off the engine. Getting a car is easy. Getting a
license plate for it is more important. She clicked her tongue in annoyance.
That’s ruined my mood. Leaning on the door, she chatted with Alex, “Do you
have any connections that can help me out?”
Alex snapped her fingers and nodded towards the building. “I’ve been in this
line of work for years. If I couldn’t make any connections, I should just quit.”
Isabella let out a sigh of relief and bowed. “You have to save me, lady.”
Alex didn’t show any smugness or excitement. Instead, she calmly got into

the car and made a phone call. The person readily agreed, and the deal was
made. Then, Alex hung up and gestured to Isabella.
Isabella raised an eyebrow. “Seventy-five hundred?”
Alex shrugged. “That’s the discounted price.” That was no exaggeration. In
Imperia, if anyone wanted to jump the line to get a car plate, 75 grand would
be the going rate. 75 hundred was practically a bargain.
Isabella quickly paid Alex, and the deal was sealed. They would receive their
numbers later that afternoon. “You’re lucky. Today is the day people get their
numbers.”
On the way back, Isabella listened to Alex talking and coincidentally ran into
Jonas. Jonas would usually crack lewd jokes whenever he saw women.
However, today he only frowned and went into his office, looking dejected.

Alex whispered to Isabella, “I told you something happened to him.”

Isabella knew what had happened, but she only hummed in agreement. It
wasn’t even 11.00 AM, and number distribution wouldn’t start until 2.00 PM. So,
she told Alex she would catch up with her later. Nemotors’ headquarters was
in Imperia. However, since their market share started to decline, they
eventually moved their headquarters to the outskirts. Therefore, Isabella took
public transportation there to see Zacharias.
When she arrived at the reception, they asked if she had any appointments.
“I come from a car retail store,” said Isabella.
The receptionist became even more polite as they spoke, “Ah, Mr. Stokes sent
you here? One moment, please. I need to call Mr. Zimmers.”

“Of course.” Isabella observed closely and immediately confirmed that Jonas
and Zacharias were working together.
“Ah, you’re in luck. Mr. Zimmers has just finished a meeting. Please follow me,”
said the receptionist. They placed their phone down and led Isabella to the
elevator.
Isabella nodded, took her bag, and entered the elevator. She asked, “Mr.
Zimmers is going to be promoted soon, right?”
The receptionist couldn’t help but regard Isabella oddly. “No.”
Isabella looked surprised. “But he’s a capable man! Why isn’t he being
promoted?”
The receptionist clicked their tongue and started to speak. Before they could

say anything, they swallowed their words and waved their hands
dismissively. “Maybe he prefers his current position.”
Heh. Something’s not right here. Otherwise, the receptionist wouldn’t be so
cautious with their words. The elevator door slid open, and the receptionist
gestured in a specific direction before leaving.
Isabella entered and realized there were hardly any people there. Most of the
-office was empty. Even if Nemotors has been struggling, it shouldn’t be this
bad. She eventually made her way to the director’s office. There wasn’t even
a secretary waiting outside. So, she had to knock on the door herself.
“Come in.”
The voice was clear. Frankly, it sounded a bit different from what she had
expected. Isabella opened the door and found a regular office. Behind the

desk was a man in his 40s. To her surprise, he wasn’t bald, nor did he have a
beer belly. Instead, he looked like a gentleman. Zacharias stood up and
walked around his desk, gesturing for Isabella to take a seat.
“Mr. Stokes would usually come in person. Why the sudden change?”
Zacharias poured a cup of tea for Isabella once she sat down. He was smiling
warmly.
Isabella was cautious as she carefully chose her words. “I don’t think Mr.
Stokes will be able to make this trip in the future.”
Zacharias stopped pouring tea and said in astonishment, “What do you
mean?”
Isabella took a sip of tea. “His boss suspects him of taking kickbacks for his
deals, and they’re investigating.”

Zacharias put the teacup down and smiled. “That’s amusing. I’ve been
working with Mr. Stokes for years. He would never make such mistakes.” He
observed Isabella. “Say, Miss Symons, you’re not here to steal your boss’
clients, are you?”
Isabella’s heart tightened upon hearing those words. This cunning old fox.
He’s more cautious than I thought. She remained patient and leaned back on
the couch. “Mr. Zimmers, you and Mr. Stokes only have a business
partnership. Whatever cars he can sell, I can sell them too. You’re not just
willing to work with Mr. Stokes, are you?” Since he thinks I’m stealing Jonas’
clients, I might as well play along so he won’t discover my real purpose.
Zacharias’ smile disappeared as he stated, “Friendship comes first in
business. Mr. Stokes helped Nemotors when we needed it the most. He did us
a great favor.”

Heh. Fancy excuse. Isabella silently sneered, but she continued with the act.
“You don’t have to be so absolute, Mr. Zimmers. I-”
“No.” Zacharias raised his hand to stop Isabella before she could finish. “If you
have nothing else to say, Miss Symons, please leave. I am not interested in
working with you.”
