Chapter 28
Chapter 28 Am I That Scary?
Isabella had revealed the truth about their swap at birth in just a few words.
Samantha got anxious inside and had to fight back.
The way Cristian kept looking at Isabella made Samantha feel even more insecure.
Despite Samantha's effort at retaliating, it was unimpressive. Isabella turned her head and glanced at her. She laughed and said, "Oh really? Was I unbecoming? In that case, what did I do wrong? Did I commit murder
or arson?"
Samantha looked at her intently as she said, "Isabella, are you forcing me to air your dirty laundry publicly?"
She could not help glancing at Cristian from the corner of her eyes.
At that moment, she caught Cristian looking at Isabella as if his eyes were glued to her. Samantha could not help feeling uneasy inside.
She knew what that look on his face meant.
The man was attracted to the woman.
A vindictive look appeared in Samantha's eyes as she clenched her fists tightly.
Isabella looked at her with great intrigue. "Oh really? Dirty laundry, huh?
"Are you talking about how you and your biological mother plotted against me and spiked my milk? Are you talking about how you arranged for an old man to sleep with me?
"My bad. When I realized how ugly the old man was, I beat him up and ran from the hotel.
"I'm sure you desperately want to know what happened after I left the hotel and whom I met, right?"
Samantha's eyes squinted at her. That was what happened!
It was no wonder that the old man had no footage and was beaten up until his face swelled up when they went to see him.
Samantha reeled in anger inside.
However, she could not admit to it now unless over her dead body.
"Isabella, what are you talking about? I don't know what you're saying!"
Samantha did not see it coming at all. Isabella had surprisingly blurted out the truth in front of everyone.
More than that, she was sharing the incident in such detail.
Normal people should hide the truth.
After all, it was a disgraceful experience.
"I'm talking about dirty laundry. My dirty laundry, right?" Isabella felt tickled as she looked at Samantha. Samantha looked at Isabella's nonchalant face and suddenly felt chills running down her back. Meanwhile, Isabella seemed completely unafraid.
She had lost it. She was completely nuts!
"Isabella, you lunatic!" shouted Samantha. She was on the verge of losing it.
Isabella shook her head and said in a serious tone, "No. I'm not a lunatic. I'm just not afraid of anything!"
She crossed her arms, looking languid. The smile on her face looked naughty, but it was very sexy at the
same time.
Isabella looked in Cristian's direction and said, "Mr. Rivera, your fiancé is a sly woman! Don't say I didn't warn you. Sometimes, these things can get passed onto your offspring through her DNA. "Miss Lang might have grown up in the Lang family, but her DNA comes from the Thompson family.
"As for the evil things her biological parents are capable of doing... Haha...
"Naturally, I'm not suggesting that the Lang family is any better. I'm just drawing a logical comparison here." Isabella smiled ambiguously at Cristian and said, “Mr. Rivera, if you want to marry someone, you really have to open your eyes and take a close look first."
She had a mischievous look. With a smile, she turned to leave. "I've done a good deed today. Isn't it great?" She swayed her hips as she left proudly, giving off a confident sexy aura.
Cristian kept looking in the direction of her silhouette. He couldn't snap out of his daze for some time. When Isabella left, Benjamin and Daniel quickly went after her.
The moment Daniel let go of Regina and she finally regained her freedom, she ran up to Samantha and helped her up.
"Sam, are you okay there?"
Samantha was at a loss and incapable of thinking straight at that moment.
Despite Isabella's vicious insults, she was simply saying the truth.
Cristian's unusual attitude toward Isabella made her even more flustered.
She had a feeling that she could not afford to offend Isabella. Not anymore. Isabel was back for revenge.
Samantha was physically and mentally exhausted by then. Moreover, she did not know how to face the situation. As she choked with tears trickling down her eyes, she passed out altogether. After giving Samantha a piece of her mind, Isabella was in a very good mood, walking back to her son with triumph. When she reached the corner, she saw Draxton standing there quietly. Isabella stopped walking, and the smile on her face immediately froze.
Draxton looked at her with his deep eyes. He did not realize how different Isabella looked when she talked with outsiders. She smiled easily without any restraint and looked confident. When talking with strangers, she looked worlds apart from the demure and reserved woman he knew.
"Mr. Lockwood, what are you doing standing here?" Isabella composed herself and asked cautiously.
Draxton lowered his eyes, contemplating for a while. Sure enough, she was still a scaredy cat. Perhaps she was just intimidated by him.
Draxton slowly went towards her. He reached out his hands and placed them on the wall, cornering the woman in front of him. Still, he was unable to see through her.
As he came close to her, their noses were so close that they could feel each other's breathing.
The expression on Isabella's face looked unnatural.
Her eyes were completely unsullied as she made eye contact with the man and looked into his deep dark eyes.
She had to admit that the guy was very handsome. He was gorgeous and flawless, so she really wanted to pin him down again.
"Miss Thompson, am I really that scary?" the man spoke softly, with his deep husky voice. Isabella could feel her throat going dry.
This was so unfair.
The man was very strong, and she could not afford to provoke him. Otherwise, she would drag him into a private room and take him this instant. Unfortunately... she had to calm down. She had to compose herself!
She was a faint-hearted woman at that moment!
She lowered her eyes in an attempt to conceal her intentions.
She suddenly felt that it was not a bad idea to marry the man in front of her. For a start, he was very hot and it was all that mattered.
This guy was handsome and perfect, so she had nothing to lose if she married him.
Moreover, she would have one less enemy and gain a friend, so it was a win-win situation for both parties! As she contemplated, Isabel's expression softened. She said gently. "Well, you are a powerful man. I think it is pretty normal for people to admire you, right? I would not say that I am afraid, but you are just too perfect and I am out of your league."
It was pure flattery.
However, Draxton clearly looked pleased by her words and laughed happily.
He let go of her, pulled her into his long slender arms, and embraced her shoulders. Benjamin and Daniel watched from nearby, feeling dumbstruck.
"Are you done watching us?" Draxton looked at the two of them.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Isabella glanced at Benjamin and Daniel. She then said, "They were trying to help me. Even though I didn't need it, they genuinely helped me. It was a kind gesture, right?"
Benjamin and Daniel were so moved that they nearly wanted to cry.
They were right about trying to get into Isabella's good books since she was his woman!
Benjamin hurriedly said, "Miss, you are too kind. We really didn't do much. We just saw you from a distance in the hospital. When we saw them making things difficult for you, we came over to help."
They did not dare to withhold the fact that they had seen Isabella before. They knew very well that the chieftain wouldn't like it, so it would backfire on them if they tried to pretend otherwise. They certainly didn' have the balls to do this.
"Hmm? At the hospital?" Isabella immediately caught on to something. From the looks of it, they wanted to curry favor with Draxton by using her.
