A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body

Chapter 104 Total Protection

Finished

A sudden realization flashed through Arthur’s mind, sending a chilling dread straight down his spine.

It hit him out of nowhere–the exact timing of Eugene’s sudden lockdown order against the Oskary branch.

Did it mean his son had uncovered some damning piece of intelligence?

Could that offshore branch actually be connected to Brett’s abduction?

As the horrific thought took hold, Arthur shot a wide–eyed, terrified look straight at Eugene.

Eugene’s expression didn’t flicker for a fraction of a second; he merely gave his father a slow, deliberate nod before casting a brief glance at Margaret beside him.

He clearly wanted to shield his mother from the sickening truth at all costs.

Arthur recalled how endlessly kind and generous Margaret had always been to those toxic relatives.

Biting down hard on his jaw, Arthur gave a tight nod of absolute understanding.

With their silent understanding locked in, Eugene climbed into the driver’s seat and turned to Isabella, “I’m dropping you two off at school first.

“I’ll walk you both all the way inside the gates myself.

“That should put a permanent gag on any toxic rumors or high–school gossip before they even start.”

Eugene’s tone remained cool and composed.

Isabella had stayed overnight at their estate and was now arriving with Brett in a family vehicle; without proper management, a legion of clueless idiots would surely start whispering behind her back.

Eugene intended to twist that potential gossip into absolute, burning envy instead.

He was the undisputed crown prince of the Carter empire.

Having him personally escort Isabella and Brett to class would carry more weight than a thousand public

statements.

“Sounds like a solid plan. Thanks, Eugene,” Isabella agreed with a relaxed nod.

She wasn’t one to dismiss a genuine favor.

Eugene was going completely out of his way for her, taking her social standing into consideration with meticulous care.

Even though she couldn’t care less about high school drama and saw zero need to prove anything to anyone, she wasn’t about to brush off his protective instincts.

She wasn’t about to ignore his kind intentions.

So she offered a quiet word of appreciation.

Eugene let out a soft chuckle.

He cast a warm look at the young woman.

From the very first second she crossed his path, she had proven to be completely cut from a different cloth than any other girl.

Any ordinary girl would have put on a display of fake modesty or felt overly self–conscious, flatly refusing his escort.

But Isabella always accepted things with effortless, total grace.

She never ran away from genuine kindness or threw up unnecessary walls.

And when faced with malice, she would hit back hard without a single shred of fear toward authority.

“Don’t lose any sleep over that Bexley drama, and don’t feel like you have to take it lying down.

“I’m sending my legal team to have a serious chat with their patriarch.”

As he spoke, Eugene’s voice dropped to a freezing, lethal register.

A massive conglomerate and high–tier elite family like the Bexleys had the sheer nerve to lean on the Powells over a petty schoolyard dispute started by their own brat, demanding Isabella drop the charges and let them walk.

The moment Eugene unearthed the details of that dirty arrangement, his blood had boiled with intense

irritation.

What infuriated him even more was that Adrian Powell had rolled over and accepted the deal without a fight.

The man was a total spineless coward, selling out his own sister for corporate favor.

The entire situation left Eugene thoroughly disgusted.

Granted, his sources confirmed Adrian had handed over a five–percent equity stake in the company to Isabella as compensation.

But that didn’t change a single d*mn thing.

That asset belonged to Isabella by absolute birthright as a Powell heir in the first place.

Yet the way they set it up made it look like she only received it as a scrap of charity from Adrian’s table.

Worse yet, she was forced to bow her head to the Bexleys, forgive Mia, and drop the criminal charges entirely.

The memory made Eugene’s expression turn incredibly dark and hostile.

He absolutely loathed every single part of this corrupt deal.

Previously, he lacked a solid pretext to intervene in the Powells‘ domestic affairs.

But right now, his parents adored Isabella and treated her like their own flesh and blood.

If someone was looking for trouble with her, they were looking for trouble with the entire Carter empire.

The Bexleys pushing her around was a direct slap in the face to the Carters.

Isabella blinked, a faint trace of amusement flitting through her eyes.

Ah, the whole Bexley situation…

Well, truth be told, she had already settled that score permanently on her own terms.

Then again…

Isabella watched Eugene’s righteously furious expression while Brett sat beside him, practically vibrating with excitement and eagerly fanning the flames.

“Bro, you have no idea how toxic that Mia chick was! She was literally the worst…!”

Listening to the endless chatter echoing through the cabin, Isabella offered a serene smile, “Sounds good to me. Thanks, Eugene.”

Since he was so eager to play the protector, she would simply view this as an advance payment for her future work on the Carter Group’s projects.

To be perfectly honest, having an entire powerhouse family shielding her didn’t feel half bad.

With that comforting thought settling in her mind, the sedan rolled smoothly to a stop right outside the main gates of Westbrook Academy.

Coincidentally, Hannah was standing right by the campus entrance at that exact moment.

She had arrived a few minutes ahead of Isabella’s crew.

Standing right beside her was Isaac.

Since Isabella hadn’t slept at home last night, Hannah technically could have commandeered her private vehicle to head to school.
