A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127 Domestic Rift

Finished

To make matters worse, the news that Isaac had signed off on a public campus assembly apology threw him into an absolute rage.

“What the hell are you playing at?

“Do you even consider yourself a Powell?

“Where is our family pride supposed to stand after this?”

His voice boomed through the high ceilings.

Isaac shot back without backing down an inch.

“The family, the business-that’s the only metric you ever track.

“Did you spend a single second looking out for Isabella?

“Do you have any actual clue as to what Hannah pulled on campus?

“She actively marched up to Noah to claim Isabella was exploiting the Wayne name as a stepping stone to

leech off the Carters.

“Do you realize the sheer corporate devastation we would face if that lie stuck?

“You don’t care about Isabella at all, you only care about protecting your precious brand.

“Hannah triggered a massive, systemic crisis; am I supposed to just gloss over it instead of demanding a public apology?

“What was your brilliant solution then?”

Isaac’s expression turned deeply cynical as he sneered, “Force Isabella to grovel to Noah? Beg him to give Hannah a pass?

“Or perhaps expect Isabella to leverage her minor tutoring connection to beg Ethan Wayne to drop the hammer?

“Lest you forget, Noah doesn’t run the Wayne empire.

“The absolute ruler of that dynasty is Ethan Wayne.

“What exactly do you view Isabella as, a convenient shield?

“Do you have any clue about the absolute hell she went through under our roof?

“Do you know how much absolute respect she receives the second she steps into the Wayne compound?

“How can you possibly have the nerve to demand she clean up this mess?”

Isaac roared out the words, his throat raw.

Chapter 127 Domestic Rift

Finished

He understood Adrian’s cutthroat mindset inside out, which was the exact reason he refused to give an inch of ground.

If he hadn’t locked down the campus assembly apology right in front of Ethan Wayne, he knew for a fact that the moment they got home, Adrian would have cortiered Isabella, forcing her to swallow the insult

Exactly like the way he forced her to drop the criminal charges against the Bexleys earlier.

Following that, he would have demanded Isabella play the victim card to clear Hannah’s record with Noah.

He would have corporate-squeezed her minor connection with the Wayne heir, using her status as the target to call off their legal team.

That way, the corporate name remains pristine, and everyone walk away happy.

But by what absolute right?

Why should Isabella be forced to carry the fallback for their dynamic?

She didn’t do a single d*mn thing wrong.

She was the blameless target who had to take Hannah’s malicious slander.

And when the dust settled?

She was expected to grovel for the exact parasite who tried to destroy her?

“I refuse to play a part in this corruption, and I will never back down.

“I don’t give a d*mn about your business strategy; the deed is signed and verified.

“If you want to rip up the agreement and stop Hannah from taking the stage, feel free to see what kind of hammer the Wayne family drops next.”

Isaac’s voice dropped to a freezing, absolute register.

Regardless of the domestic fallout, he had already delivered his word directly to Ethan Wayne.

Adrian didn’t possess the balls to break a contract with the feds.

Back out on the Waynes?

Adrian would have to be completely suicidal.

“You b*stard!”

Driven clean out of his mind by pure rage, Adrian swung his arm and landed a heavy slap right across Isaac’s face.

Isaac clutched his reddened cheek, remaining perfectly silent.

That was the exact chaotic scene that met Isabella’s eyes the second she stepped into the house.

Chapter 122 Domestic Rift

Frished

Hannah had been sobbing continuously on the carpet throughout the entire fight.

Catching sight of Isabella, she scrambled to her feet and rushed across the floor, crying out, “Bella. I’ll apologize to you, I’ll even get down on my knees right now, okay?

“Just please tell Noah to call off the campus assembly apology,

“I admit it, the entire crisis was my fault.

“But we have to protect the Powell Group’s public reputation.

“Bella, look at how Adrian and Isaac are tearing each other apart because of this; please, I beg you, just drop the issue.

“I messed up, I truly messed up!”

She put on a perfect, tragic performance right in front of Isabella.

She wanted to trigger one final wave of pity from Adrian to secure her defense.

After all, Adrian would value corporate pride above all else, meaning he was bound to force Isabella to shut down the fallback, even if it meant demanding she grovel to the Wayne family.

Right on cue, the exact second her whimpering cut through the room, Adrian’s freezing voice boomed from the center of the hall.

“Isabella, I am perfectly aware that Hannah is the source of the rot this time.

“However, she has already taken a severe physical beating for it.

“If your chest is still burning with resentment, I can freeze her corporate access and strip her allowance completely.

“I will even force her to deliver a full confession for every single domestic slight against you inside this house.

“But as for forcing her onto that stage to ruin our family name in front of the whole academy? Absolutely

not.

“You are going to clear this file with Noah immediately.

“We will waive the medical invoices from the Waynes and call the entire altercation even.

“But Hannah taking the fall in public is a permanent line in the sand.
