Chapter 64 No More Mercy
Cecilia’s tear-filled eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t fathom that Isabella was asking her to leave!
“You can stay, but Scarlet can’t,” Isabella declared, casting a glance at Scarlet, her decision final.
Cecilia let go of Isabella’s legs, feeling utterly hopeless. She stood there in a daze until Scarlet embraced her, crying, “It’s okay, Miss Cecilia. I may no longer be in this house, but I’m not leaving you forever…”
“No… there must be a solution,” Cecilia protested, shaking her head as tears continued to stream down her face. “When Dad
and Mom come back later, I’ll plead with them…”
After Isabella finished packing her belongings and opened the door, she discovered Scarlet kneeling in front of it.
“Miss Isabella, I’m not here to trouble you. I haven’t taken the time to reflect on myself or offer you a sincere apology. I used to be arrogant and disrespectful, failing to give you the respect you deserved… I know it’s too late, and I’m about to leave. Can you… find it in your heart to forgive me?”
Leaning against the door, Isabella glanced lazily at her. “So, Lisa mentioned that you needed my forgiveness before leaving, huh?”
Scarlet looked up, somewhat taken aback. She hadn’t expected Isabella to be aware of everything!
“Fine, I forgive you.” Isabella walked past her, without uttering another word.
Scarlet watched Isabella’s retreating figure, she often unable to comprehend what was going on in Isabella’s mind….
Isabella was in a hurry to go abroad, and she didn’t want to waste time on such trivial matters.
Isabella knocked on the study door, received Lisa’s
permission, and entered.
“Lisa, Mom and Dad are still at Tel’s place. They won’t be back
anytime soon, but they gave me Stuart’s address. I’m going there now.”
Lisa signaled for the meeting to pause, closed his computer, and stood up. “Isa, why didn’t you tell me about all the grievances you’ve endured before?”
Isabella was taken aback. Had Scarlet confessed everything? That didn’t seem like her style. Then who had informed Lisa? Could it be Myra?
“They were just minor things, insignificant. I was simply too lazy to deal with them.”
If Isabella decided to confront them, would they be able to
handle it?
Observing her submissive demeanor, Lisa felt guilty and admired Isabella’s maturity and magnanimity.
“Scarlet has diligently and devotedly served this family for eighteen years. That’s why Mom and Dad overlooked her disrespect towards you… Did she genuinely apologize to you just now?”
“She did.”
“Truly?”
“Well, sort of.”
Scarlet’s desire to stay had seemed genuine just now. That’s why she cried and offered a sincere apology… But knowing Scarlet’s personality, change would be a difficult task…
“Lisa, I’m leaving now,” Isabella checked the time. It was almost time for her departure. “I’ll have someone drive you
there.”
“No need. Mom and Dad arranged a private plane to take me to Stuart’s address,” Lisa responded.
“Alright then, that puts my mind at ease.”
The Logan family not only employed drivers but also pilots. These employees were highly experienced and had been part of the Logan family’s staff for many years.
Isabella took out a small gift from her backpack. “Lucy hasn’t returned from the competition yet, but if everything went as planned, she should have been the champion. I wasn’t sure if I would be able to come back to celebrate with her, so I prepared this small gift for Lucy. If I don’t make it back in time, could you give it to her?”
“Of course,” Lisa replied, surprised by Isabella’s thoughtfulness. She had even prepared a champion gift. Lisa realized that she hadn’t started preparing yet…
“Lucy would probably be more excited to receive a gift from you, Lisa, so you should think about what you want to give her,” Isabella remarked. After the reminder, she waved her hand casually and closed the study door.
Prompted by Isabella’s reminder, Lisa sat in front of the computer, deep in thought. She typed in, “What gift would be good for a girlfriend?”
Meanwhile, it was already 11 PM when Williams and Eloise returned home. Cecilia eyes was swollen from crying.
Cecilia explained the situation, and Eloise was shocked. It was an incident that had happened a long time ago.
Back then, Eloise had been admiring the newly purchased flowers when a maid informed her that Cecilia and Scarlet had slipped and fallen. Eloise hurried to the living room and witnessed the bruised back of Cecilia and Scarlet, covered in bruises as well.
Linda, who was still working in the house at the time, insisted that Isabella hadn’t fallen in that spot, but Cecilia had. Linda suspected that Isabella had known in advance about the slippery floor and had deliberately avoided it. Linda believed. that Isabella intended to harm Cecilia.
Another maid, Eliza, had also collaborated with Linda and lied.
