Love Coming From The Least Expected novel Chapter 673

Isabelle trembled more severely. Even her lips shook as she hugged herself tightly and curled up on her chair, close to a breakdown. She muttered, “I… I… It’s too horrifying, no… I don’t want…”

“Mom! Mom!” I held my mom’s shaking hands, calling her name. I was more and more mystified. What’s going on?

Isabelle got over her meltdown when my calls got through to her. She looked at me steadily and then, after a while, she stopped trembling, took a deep breath, and said, “I, Isabelle Anderson, as a shareholder of Goldstein Corporation, declare again that I vote for Lucas Goldstein without a doubt.”

“You… are good, you are excellent. Isabelle Anderson, I never expected the day you would dare rebel against me. Wait and see how I’m going to get back at you.” As Mark spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and swung it right at my mother. I yelled in fear and tried to stop him, but someone else’s hand was quicker than mine and caught hold of his wrist.

It was Lucas who stopped him and who made this remark, nonchalantly, “Uncle Mark, it is unbecoming of a man to raise his hand against a woman and in public, too.”

Mark shook his hand off and repeated, “Isabelle, I’m giving you one last chance. Whom do you vote for?”

Mom held my hand very tightly. I could see that she was very stressed, but outwardly, she looked calm. She looked at Dad with an icy stare and spoke slowly and clearly, “Mark Goldstein, I will not be your puppet forever, nor would I be your tool forever. I did say before that if I do not die by your hand, then I would be merciless when I have the power to rebel against you.”

Mark’s oppressive and horrifying laughter filled the conference room as the voting gradually came to an end. Finally, I was the only one left who had not voiced any decision yet. My mother’s words went round and round in my mind, and I could not say a word.

“Eve, you are the only one left now. Come, give me your vote. I love you the most,” Mark smiled as he spoke to me.
