Chapter 649: Ran a Fever
“Even if Mr Lisa found any evidence, I will insist it was my idea. It wouldn’t involve you,” Scarlet reassured Cecilia.
Scarlet’s unwavering loyalty deeply moved Cecilia. “With you by my side, Scarlet, Isabella would have known the consequences of crossing me!”
At the thought of Isabella, a glint of cruelty flashed in Scarlet’s eyes. “Oh, by the way… In private, when there was no one else around, you didn’t have to be polite to Isabella,” Scarlet advised.
Before, they had been polite to her face, but now they shouldn’t have expected any mercy if they were alone.
“Don’t worry, Scarlet. I wouldn’t be polite to her anymore,” Cecilia declared, a sense of revenge evident in her eyes.
On the other side…
Eloise woke up from a nightmare, startled. She sat up in bed, feeling a lingering fear. Glancing at the time, she realized it had already been evening, so she quickly changed clothes, preparing to go out.
“Madam, where were you going? Dinner was almost ready…” a servant in the living room tried to stop her.
“I’m not eating. Oh, by the way, did Cecilia’s friends stay for dinner?” Eloise asked.
“They had already left.”
“They left?” Eloise was a bit surprised. Why didn’t they stay for a meal? As the servant hesitated to speak further, Eloise’s phone
rang.
“Williams, I was just about to leave. What did you say? Silvia fainted? I’m coming right away…”
Seeing Eloise rushing out of the house, the servant said nothing
more.
Meanwhile, Lisa was driving back to the company. Memories of a little girl who had fallen in the garden many years ago resurfaced in her mind. At that time, the girl’s knee had been scraped and hurting, tears welling in her eyes, but she had still tried to cheer everyone up, enduring the pain so no one would worry about her.
Cecilia had been so sensible and considerate back then, making everything feel so beautiful. When did she start to change? Was it when Isabella returned to this family? Or was it when Isabella began to shine…
Lisa vividly remembered the first time she saw Isabella. It had been during a design competition when Isabella had been working as Lucy’s assistant. Isabella’s right hand had been swollen and bruised, indicating a severe injury. However, Isabella used her injured hand to embroider beautiful roses on her dress.
At that moment, the chairman of the Castle Fashion Association, Seb, unintentionally revealed Isabella’s true identity as the founder of the Sofia Welch Group…
Despite being in her teens, Isabella had established such a large corporation and had managed the family business. She had achieved so much at such a young age, willingly serving as an assistant to mentor more youthful generations.
Her ambition and vision had surpassed that of many others…
As Lisa spent more time with Isabella, she witnessed her shining in various aspects of life…
Although Lisa hadn’t wanted to compare Isabella and Cecilia, their perspectives and ways of handling things had been worlds apart.
On the other side….
As Isabella dropped Benjamin off at the entrance of the villa, Benjamin gently patted her head. “You suffered.”
“It was nothing,” Isabella replied. Cecilia’s schemes couldn’t harm her.
