Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love By Christin Donald (Edward) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 

Ben asked lightly, “So, you bribed the physician a day earlier because you knew that Susan would push Penelope. and that you would have a miscarriage in order to help her?” 

“I…” Isabella’s face turned even paler. 

After a long time, she gritted her teeth. 

Although there was nothing she could do to defend herself at the moment, Penelope would never regain consciousness. Moreover, Susan couldn’t defend herself. If Isabella insisted that it wasn’t her, who could force her to admit it? 

“Anyway, I did not push Penelope,” Isabella said, “No matter what you say, I will never admit it.” 

Ben sneered. “Do you think it makes any difference whether you admit it or not? What you did is horrible enough for the police to intervene in it. What’s the point of denying it when the professionals will eventually prove it?” 

Isabella’s face fell immediately. 

It was true that the court only considered the evidence. 

It didn’t matter whether she admitted it or not! 

Ben had already found out so much about her. If the police were to investigate, they would only be able to find more evidence against her. 

It would be the end of her! 

Not only would her reputation be ruined, but what was even more terrifying was that this was a serious crime of murder and framing. She might end up in prison for life.

A trace of fear finally flashed across Isabella’s eyes. 

She knelt in front of Leo quickly and cried in remorse, “Leo, you can’t call the police, you can’t! I’m your wife. If I’m sentenced to go to jail, you will also be affected.” 

Leo gritted his teeth. “So, you really hurt my mother…” 

Isabella cried even harder immediately. “Yes, it was me, but everything I did was for you.” 

“For me?” Leo looked at her somewhat in disbelief. 

Isabella cried and said, “I was wrong. My biggest mistake is that I love you too much. I love you so much. I shouldn’t have lost my basic values because of how much I love you.”

“You…” Leo was a little shaken by Isabella’s words. 

“Leo, this woman harmed your mother!” Charlie reminded him from the side. 

“I didn’t want to, I really didn’t want to.” Isabella cried and said, “At that time, Penelope didn’t agree to me marrying Leo. But I love Leo too much and want to marry him too much. So, in order to marry him, I could only pretend to be pregnant to marry into the Landor family.” 

Isabella looked at Leo tearfully. “Leo, I’m sorry, I lied to you. But I really… love you so much.” 

Leo started to waver. 

He looked at Isabella with pity in his eyes. 

Yes, although it was Isabella’s fault, she did it all for him! 

Alas, she loved him so much. Even if she had done something wrong, why couldn’t he forgive her? 

Charlie couldn’t stand it anymore. He said angrily, “Leo! Your mother is still lying on the hospital bed!” 

“Grandpa,” Isabella cried and said, “I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I pretended to be pregnant and married into the Landor family, but I couldn’t just make up a baby on my own. I was worried that Leo would divorce me if he found out that I wasn’t pregnant. I was anxious. I had no choice but to come up with such a bad idea. At that time, I just wanted to create an accident so that I could pretend to have a miscarriage. I didn’t expect that ! would accidentally harm Penelope and that she had already hurt her head before so she fell into a coma. I… I was worried that Leo would divorce me if he found out that I was the one who made Penelope like this. I was confused,, so I tried to frame Monica! It’s all my fault. Leo, if you can’t forgive me, you can call the police and let them kill me 

directly.” 

Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at Leo. “In my next life, I only hope that I won’t love you so much 

anymore. 

After saying that, she fell backward suddenly as if she was mentally exhausted. 

Leo had long been touched by Isabella’s love. He couldn’t help but hug her. 

Isabella looked at him with a touched expression on her face immediately. “You… Why are you still holding me? I made such a big mistake. You should let me die.” 

“Isabella, you did it for me. I believe that if Mom finds out, she will forgive you too.” Leo looked at Isabella affectionately. 

“Leo.” Tears streamed down Isabella’s face. 

“Isabella.” Leo pulled her into his embrace with a touched expression on his face. 

Charlie was speechless.

Monica looked at Ben in disbelief. “Ben, now could there be a person 1919 to asupra sa 

Ben glanced at her. 

It was rare that Monica knew how stupid she was. 

“You don’t understand,” Leo sighed and said in a self–mocking tone, “Love makes one stupid.” 

Monica was speechless. 

Even though she was a love–struck fool, she felt nauseous all of a sudden. 

Leo was stupider than she thought he was. 

“Grandpa, Mom is already in such a state. There’s no point blaming Isabella.” Leo looked at Charlie. “Why don’t we just forget about this matter?” 

Charlie looked at him expressionlessly. “Forget about it? Do you believe her nonsense? If she accidentally pushed your mother last time, what would you say about her deliberately pressing the red button this time?” 

Leo frowned. “But the brainwave machine and red button are all set up by Ben. In fact, Isabella didn’t hurt my 

mother at all this time.” 

Charlie almost died from anger towards Leo. He said coldly, “This is indeed a setup, but she did so to prevent your mother from waking up! Leo, be reasonable! The person lying on the bed is your biological mother.” 

“Leo.” Isabella trembled in fear. 

Leo hugged her somewhat tenderly and then said to Charlie without hesitation, “Grandpa, it’s just because I’ve lost my mother that I can’t lose Isabella anymore. If you want to call the police to arrest Isabella, ask them to arrest me 

too.” 

Leo’s eyes were filled with courage for love. 

Isabella was so moved that she burst into tears. “Leo, what have I done to deserve you to treat me like this… I…” 

As she spoke, Isabella choked with sobs. 

After what happened, Isabella was really somewhat touched now. 

She didn’t expect Leo to really be so in love with her. 

Compared to Ben, who was ruthless and set up a trap to catch her, Leo was indeed a perfect man. 

Isabella was a little regretful.

Chapter 178 

Why had she been so obsessed with Ben in the past? 

She was reborn, and she knew so much about the future. 

Wasn’t it good for her to live a peaceful life with Leo and help Leo surpass Ben? 

Isabella swore in her heart that if she could survive this, she would help Leo wholeheartedly! 

She would stop loving Ben. 

Isabella couldn’t help but be somewhat intimidated by Ben.

Including her. 

And Monica. 

At this time, Isabella.finally understood what had happened in the past few days. 

Ben was only pretending to be in love with Monica. 

On the one hand, he wanted to lower Isabella’s guard, thinking that he had believed that Susan was responsible for Penelope’s injury. 

On the other hand, he had seen through Isabella’s thoughts, so he used Monica to provoke her. 

He had already found out a lot of things, but he did not lose his temper immediately. Instead, he waited until today to set up a trap for her. 

First of all, he asked the physician to say that Penelope was about to wake up deliberately to mess with Isabella’s 

mind. 

Then, he invited Monica over to present Isabella with the ready–made scapegoat. 

In the end, he even went crazy enough to set up a brainwave machine and a red button for Penelope’s “death“. 

They were all tools to lure Isabella into taking action. 

Unfortunately, Isabella was too confident. She thought that since she had succeeded once, she would be able to do it again. As a result, she walked right into Ben’s trap. 

Although she was stupid, Ben’s careful schemes throughout the entire process were simply shocking. 

Isabella no longer dared to be attracted to Ben. 

Susan was the only one who could control him.
