“Teresa and Kian deserve each other. A bitch and a scum!”
As the truth came to light, the online community grew increasingly outraged at Teresa and Kian. Their Twitter pages were bombarded with negative comments. Kian still hoped to win Evie back, but he was unprepared for her scathing online remarks. His heart sank with her words, full of loathing. He deeply regretted his actions, mentally berating Teresa over and over!
The police arrested Teresa. She had exploited her company position to funnel resources to her boyfriend, compromising the company’s interests, and she was compelled to pay a hefty fine. Lacking the funds, she was forced to seek a bank loan. When she was released from police custody, her wallet was empty, and she was swamped with a huge debt.
Since she couldn’t go back to Edge Entertainment, it seemed like her whole world was crumbling around her. Her thoughts immediately turned to Eliza. Eliza was so compassionate. She wouldn’t just watch her suffer. Without hesitation, Teresa called Eliza, pouring out her distress.
Eliza was at her desk when she received the call. Hearing Teresa’s woes initially left her a bit disturbed. She was indifferent to Teresa’s troubles. However, Eliza’s expression shifted when Teresa said, “Eliza, this is all Isabella’s doing. She misled everyone by saying she was Dane’s sister. If it weren’t for her dinner with Dane at the manor, my colleagues wouldn’t have wanted to get justice for me, and my true background wouldn’t have been revealed.”
Teresa refused to see any fault in her own actions. Narrowing her eyes, Eliza mulled over the accusation. “Isabella is Dane’s sister?”
“Absolutely not!” Teresa exclaimed. “She merely seduced Dane.”
“Hmph, she has seduced countless others,” Eliza scoffed. “Yes, Eliza, please… I need your help.” Teresa sobbed. Eliza grew irritated. “Alright, alright, I’m at work. I’ll call you back when I’m free.”
After ending the call, Eliza noticed a message from Gilbert. Gilbert said, “Eliza, we can’t have dinner tomorrow. My dad wants me at Patton Group to discuss our partnership. I’m sorry.”
Gilbert was troubled as well. His family’s company’s deals with the Patton Group had fallen through. They couldn’t just wait around. Action was necessary. Eliza responded, “Gilbert, I’ll come with you.” She was also eager to uncover the reasons behind the Patton family’s decision to end their partnership with her family’s company.
At eleven, Eliza left her office. Shortly after she hit the road, her journey was abruptly halted.
“Miss Chapman, there is someone up ahead.” Eliza narrowed her eyes and recognized the figure blocking her path—it was her former mother, Sherlyn!
She hadn’t seen her former mother in ages. Sherlyn appeared gaunter, more worn, her yellowish-brown skin etched with lines. She had the look of someone from the countryside. Eliza couldn’t help but crinkle her nose in distaste.
“Wait here for me.” Eliza stepped out of the car and approached Sherlyn, asking coldly, “What are you doing?”
Sherlyn’s heart shattered when she saw Eliza’s cold demeanor and the revulsion in her eyes. She never imagined the daughter she’d nurtured could become so aloof. Once Eliza reconnected with her biological parents, she distanced herself from her former family.
Tears welled up in Sherlyn’s eyes as she said in a choked voice, “Eliza, I wouldn’t bother you if it weren’t for an urgency. Your father has cancer. We spent all our savings on your dance classes, and now we’re deep in debt. But your father needs hospital treatment. Without money, they won’t admit him. Could you lend us some money? I’ll repay you when I can.”
Eliza’s response lacked any trace of compassion. She merely showed coldness and disdain. “Your daughter is Isabella. She’s close with the president of the Patton Group. Why not ask her for money? Why come to me?”
Sherlyn responded, “Isabella isn’t our daughter!”
Eliza’s brow furrowed as Sherlyn continued, “She’s actually a Patton by birth. She has no ties to us.”
At this revelation, Eliza felt her knees buckle, nearly collapsing. Isabella was a member of the Patton family?
How could it be…
Eliza paused only briefly before deciding it just couldn’t be true.
“You are lying. You and my real parents got your babies mixed up. I’m actually a member of the Chapman family, and Isabella is your daughter. How could you lie to me like that?” Disappointment filled Eliza’s eyes. “Is this all just to help Isabella marry into the Patton family? Isabella is from a poor village. The Patton would never accept her. She would just be their plaything!”
Eliza refused to accept what Sherlyn had said—she just couldn’t. Once Isabella left the Chapman family, she was supposed to struggle and suffer. How on earth did she end up being a member of the affluent Patton family? It was completely ludicrous!
Sherlyn didn’t expect Eliza to completely dismiss her words. She sighed helplessly and said, “It was complicated. We thought we had mistakenly taken the child from the Chapman family, but actually…”
“‘So why did you lie to me, saying that Isabella belongs to the Patton family?” Eliza shot back immediately. “What’s your real scheme? Are you that desperate to see Isabella marry rich?”
Before Sherlyn could reply, Eliza’s expression twisted with scorn. “You’re despicable. You wouldn’t ask your own daughter for money, but you’d ask me? I won’t give you a cent. If you need money, go to Isabella!” With that, Eliza stormed into her car.
Despair filled Sherlyn’s eyes. She called out, “Eliza, even if you won’t lend us any money, shouldn’t you at least pay us back for what we spent on you?”
Eliza scoffed, “Then have Isabella repay what she owes the Chapman family!”
Eliza’s car sped away, leaving Sherlyn in the dust. Sherlyn sank to her knees, her eyes brimming with despair and regret. She deeply regretted investing so much in someone so ungrateful. If only she hadn’t paid for Eliza’s dance lessons all these years, they might have had enough for the necessary treatment now. Sherlyn was in profound agony.
In the car, Eliza was still seething. She was incredulous that Isabella dared to pass herself off as a member of the wealthy Patton family. Yet as Eliza thought of Sherlyn and Isabella, she suddenly burst out laughing. She saw this as the perfect chance. She had nearly missed the opportunity to knock Isabella off her high horse!
Over at the Patton’ residence, Elaine warmly invited Evie to spend the night, and Evie quickly accepted. Just then, Dane walked in. He wore a suit, his aura chilly, talking on the phone.
“Santos Group? Turn them down. I don’t want to hear about them anymore,” Dane said coldly.
Isabella caught this and inquired, “What’s the issue with the Santos Group?”
“They’ve been trying to forge a partnership with us,” Dane answered, his expression one of revulsion. Gilbert was unbearable.
“Let me handle this,” Isabella proposed. It was her issue, to begin with, after all. Dane got the gist, so he nodded. He saw Evie, gave her a quick hello, and then went upstairs, leaving the space to the women.
Curious about the situation, Evie asked Isabella for the scoop, and Isabella filled her in.
“Damn! He’s such a scoundrel! He needs to be dealt with!” Evie said angrily.
Isabella concurred—it was time to settle this. She had to ensure Gilbert and Eliza kept their distance. That night, Evie and Isabella shared a room.
Evie was a great talker, always coming up with things to discuss. Isabella didn’t mind. She actually enjoyed it. They seemed to get each other.
“Isabella, you know? I always thought Andrew was going to end up alone,” Evie said excitedly. “He’s never enjoyed playing with girls since he was young—he found them irritating.”
Evie continued sharing stories from Andrew’s younger days, capturing Isabella’s full attention. From a young age, Andrew was a prodigy. While other children played simple games, he was occupied with constructing robots. He was strikingly handsome, drawing much notice, yet he remained distant and reserved.
“When we were kids, a girl from the neighborhood was smitten with my brother. He never talked to her, yet she showed up every day trying to catch his eye. She was so determined that she didn’t stop until high school! I thought he might warm up to her eventually, but he kept his distance, remaining cool. I really felt for her,” Evie said, then paused abruptly.
She realized it might be awkward to discuss this in front of her future sister-in-law. Isabella comforted her, saying, “It’s okay; keep going. I’m really intrigued. I wouldn’t have guessed Andrew was like that as a teenager.”
Comforted by this, Evie relaxed. She felt comfortable with Isabella and continued, “Yeah! Who would have guessed my brother, who never showed interest in women, would end up falling for you! He’s really transformed lately—he seems like a new man!”
Isabella’s smile was full of warmth. She sensed how deeply special she was to Andrew. She felt incredibly fortunate to have found genuine love, something many people never experienced. This realization inspired Isabella to treat Andrew better.
She often felt that her contributions to their relationship didn’t quite measure up to what he provided. The kindness and affection he showed were hard to match. “Does your brother have any special likes?” Isabella asked earnestly.
Evie responded with a playful smile, “Isabella, are you thinking of buying my brother a present?”
“That’s right.” Isabella nodded.
Evie’s eyes suddenly lit up. “I have a good idea, and my brother will definitely like it. You just have to give me the money. I will buy a gift and give it to him. I’ll tell him it’s from you.” She patted her chest and added, “I swear my brother will be very happy with the gift.”
“May I know what kind of gift you are going to buy?” Isabella asked curiously.
“No, you can’t. It’s my secret. By the way, how often do you and my brother see each other now?”
“We meet every weekend.”
“Okay, then. Saturday is good. Before my brother comes to see you, I will give him the gift.”
Upon hearing Evie’s words, Isabella became even more curious. What kind of gifts would Andrew like? But since Evie didn’t want to tell her, she didn’t insist anymore. She just gave the money to Evie.
Isabella and Evie continued to chat until they felt sleepy and gradually fell asleep.
The next day, Isabella woke up early. When she arrived at the headquarters of the Patton Group, she went straight to the reception room to wait for the clients to arrive. While waiting, she sat on the sofa and looked through her iPad. Suddenly, she encountered a problem, so she went to consult Dane.
After the problem was fixed, Isabella went to the break room and got a cup of coffee for herself. The moment she walked out of the break room, the elevator doors opened, and two people happened to come out. They immediately caught her attention.
She didn’t expect Gilbert and Eliza to come out of the elevator together. Eliza wore a long black low-cut dress, highlighting her sexy curves. She really had a unique fashion style. But if she was here for business, why would she dress up like this?
On the other hand, Gilbert wore a formal suit, looking a little nervous. But when he saw Isabella, the nervousness on his face disappeared and was replaced by arrogance. Gilbert wanted to look dignified in front of Isabella. He felt proud, knowing that she was no longer a member of the Chapman family. This time, she needed to look up to him.
“Hey, Isabella! What are you doing here? Don’t you work in Edge Entertainment?” Eliza was the first to speak. She looked Isabella up and down doubtfully.
“It’s none of your business. I will go wherever I want to,” Isabella replied indifferently.
Eliza crossed her arms over her chest and snorted coldly. “Isabella, I know you are very capable of seducing men. But this is all you can do your whole life. Unlike us, we cooperate with the Patton Group. Soon, our companies will become the best in Gemond. By that time, you will already be old and abandoned.”
After saying this, Eliza raised her head and burst into laughter. It was as if she had pictured such a scene in her mind.
Gilbert slightly raised the corners of his mouth. He had been a little aggrieved because Isabella had revealed his secrets not long ago. But now, he felt it was no longer necessary. After all, he and Isabella were now worlds apart. So, he turned to Eliza and said, “Forget it. Don’t talk nonsense with her. We have something more important to do here today.”
