"Exactly! What a scheming woman Ye is! Mr. Lu is so obsessed with her and even bought the company for her as a gift. If Mrs. Lu finds out about this, she would be furious."
"Isla and Ye are just two birds of the same feather when it comes to seducing and controlling men. Maybe Isla learned that from Ye."
"Enough!" Isla thundered, "Have you finished all your work? Are you free now? How about helping Paula clean the toilet?"
The gossiping crowd quickly fell silent and went back to their own seats, stealing glances at Isla's office from time to time. Paula, however, remained standing at the office door. Isla walked towards Paula and questioned her, "Why are you still here? You want to get in, huh?"
"No, no." Paula shook her head and said, "I haven't finished cleaning yet. I'm leaving now."
Bang! Isla shut the door and turned to Becky. "Becky Zhang, do you dare say it again, who was the other woman four years ago?" Isla demanded.
"Of course!" Becky sneered. Isla was the same silly girl as four years ago. "If it weren't for you, Aron and I would have fixed our wedding date. If it weren't for you, we would now be living a happy life."
Becky stared angrily at Isla and asked, "Isla, I know it is too much to expect you to wish us happiness. I beg you, stay away from us."
"You..." Becky's accusation drove Isla crazy. She took out her cell phone to call Aron and ask him to take Becky away. She couldn't bear it anymore. As soon as she took out her phone, Becky was instantly alarmed. "What are you going to do? Are you going to call Aron?" Becky moved closer, in an attempt to snatch Isla's phone.
"Get away from me!" Isla pushed Becky away as she snorted, "What are you so nervous about? You say that I am the other woman? Fine! I'm calling Aron over. Let's get everything straight today. Don't try to stop me. Are you afraid of being found out?"
Becky's expression amused Isla. Isla continued, "Well, we have a witness here and she should know how you managed to break me and Aron apart by saying that you miscarried for him. Did you really think your plan was perfect? You are too naive."
Becky felt dazed when Isla mentioned her miscarriage. She had long worried about her plot being uncovered, but she never expected Isla to find out and expose it.
Becky was fuming. "Isla Zhao, you are talking nonsense! You know nothing about what happened between me and Aron. It pains me a lot to think about losing my baby. Why do you rub salt into my wound? What do you want?"
Isla gave a scornful smile. She hadn't exposed the truth yet, but Becky was already on the edge of panicking. What Becky said only gave herself away.
Becky panicked even more when she looked at Isla's smile. She yelled hysterically, "Isla Zhao, are you accusing me of feigning pregnancy, huh? I'm telling you, they would not believe anything you say. You think you can bring me down? You're dreaming if you think you can win."
Isla smiled and responded calmly, "I said nothing just now. It is you who mentioned the fake pregnancy. What? Is it your guilty conscience?"
