37 CHAPTER 35

She couldn't even contact her daughter Gwen or son-in-law Nolan. It was as if the two had simply vanished, which worried her. She only had her daughter left, and she couldn't get in touch with her.

She attempted to contact them, but the Sheppard’s were hostile, implying that they might have an idea. To make matters worse, Nolan's family publicly disowned him, leaving Isabelle with no strong support to back her up.

As a result, everything her family had worked for was taken by those who had long been interested in her family's business. In just two weeks, the company was hostilely taken over, she had to pay her husband's debts, and she had to sell a lot of assets, leaving her with just enough money to last her a while.

She couldn't help but cry again as she walked past the graves of her husband and son. For a woman who was used to having a lot of money to spend in a day, she was now reduced to having to save a lot just to survive.
