Isabella's beauty totally overshadowed Brittany's captivating eyes, causing the latter to look resentful.
Isabella's appearance instantly drew everyone's attention, regardless of their gender or age.
The crowd couldn't help but make way for her.
“I...” Harold watched Isabella approach him from outside and was temporarily at a loss for words.
When Brittany saw Isabella walk in, she gritted her teeth and mocked, “So this b*tch is here too, huh? Your boyfriend who lived off you pitied me, his ex, so much that he gave me five million as an allowance. Did hearing that hurt you?”
Isabella's expression turned sour in response to Brittany's words. “How dare you give my dad's hard-earned money to your ex, Harold! Are you telling me you still can't let her go? Have you forgotten how her family used to treat you?”
She pointed at Harold, intending to reprimand him.
However, she didn't dare to do so in front of so many people. She was afraid he would lose his dignity as a man if she did.
Ever since she saw Harold take her father's money and him trying to please her while pretending to be the God of War, she felt he was a prideful man, even more so than her grandfather.
Isabella wasn't sure where he got so much money from. Did Dad transfer him even more money?
The more she thought about it, the more she believed it to be the case.
Her father had struck it rich in the financial market with James a few days ago. Both of them had worked together to earn one hundred million in the stock market and international futures in a single day, and it shook the entire Dellmoor financial industry.
Not only that, Harold had recently risked his life to save her from a raging fire, so it wasn't a stretch for her to imagine her father had rewarded him with ten or twenty million for his effort.
Still, Isabella was somewhat furious that he had given her father's money to the Xenoses.
He still can't let go of Brittany!
Isabella was so jealous that one could even hear it in her voice.
“Listen to me, Bella. It's not what you think. I did waste five years of Brittany's life by dating her. Once I give her the breakup fee, both of us won't have anything to do with each other anymore,” Harold said in a panic.
Isabella snorted and uttered in disbelief, “Men are all liars. Do you really think I'd believe it?”
Nevertheless, when she saw how anxious he was as he explained the situation, she let out a sigh of relief inwardly.
As her body relaxed, she even felt a wave of bliss in her heart.
In order to hide those emotions, Isabella put on an expression opposite to how she felt, arrived in between the two, and stared at Brittany.
“You were the one who disdained Harold for being poor, Brittany. On the day of the wedding, you broke up with him because he couldn't provide the betrothal gifts your family demanded. I even tried to advise you all back then, yet you're now asking him for a breakup fee? Can you people be any more shameless?” she questioned candidly.
From the moment Brittany asked Harold for an even greater amount of betrothal gifts, Isabella had become extremely disappointed in Brittany's character.
Seeing Brittany doing such a shameless thing again only made Isabella hate her even more.
“You...”
