From Discarded Wife to Queen (Tyrone) novel Chapter 22

“William? What are you doing?”

Atticus saw that the person had been scared off, and William was still

standing by the window looking down at their retreating figure. He

really couldn’t hold it in anymore.

“What exactly is your relationship with Isabella?”

William’s dark, unreadable eyes were like a net, firmly trapping that

figure. “She’s mine.”

At first, Atticus thought he had only said half of what he meant to

say, but after waiting a long time, no continuation came.

He scratched his head anxiously. “Bro, finish what you were saying?

She’s your what?”

William said, “I already finished.”

Atticus froze.

Was he messing with him?

Chapter 22

Atticus felt like these siblings had both gone crazy.

He slapped his thigh, sat down, and opened his laptop.

He needed to look into this Isabella and find out who she really was!

He couldn’t recall ever hearing this name before.

As Atticus searched, he quickly found information about the Taylor

Family.

“This Isabella is actually the child of the Taylor Family’s housekeeper.

The housekeeper was a single mother who died of cancer. Before she

passed away, the Taylor Family promised her they would take Isabella

in to live with them and support her through college…”

Atticus rested his chin on his hand, staring at the computer screen.

“Before the Taylor Family brought Isabella back, she had been left

behind in her hometown, a poor mountain area…”

The relationships between the various families in Emerald City were

deeply intertwined. Atticus asked around and found that the Taylor

Family was just an unremarkable small family, mainly in the

entertainment industry. Surprisingly kind–hearted though, to take in

an orphan left behind by their housekeeper and willing to pay for her

college education.

After finishing his research, Atticus was even more confused.

So why exactly would William fall for Isabella?

Or was it that… William was naturally drawn to eye–catching things?

Like girls with tragic backgrounds.

Why didn’t he say so earlier? He could have found William a bunch of

girls like that, so he wouldn’t have been single for so many years.

Atticus continued scrolling through the pages. “The Taylor Family

posted an ad for a tutor a week ago, offering pretty good pay.”

“This must be for finding a tutor for Isabella. Isabella is transferring

to Stellar High School for the second semester of her senior year, so

the Taylor Family is probably worried she won’t be able to keep up…”

After all, the only people in the Taylor Family currently in their

senior year were Bianca and Gabriel, and those two were top students

at South Island High School who didn’t need tutors.

William turned his head and glanced at Atticus. “Give Joseph Miller a

call.”

The Taylor Villa.

Bianca had invited a few good friends from her circle to practice

piano at home.

After practicing all afternoon, the butler called her to bring her

friends to the courtyard for refreshments. Just as they stepped out the

main door, everyone saw Isabella coming in from outside.

“Bianca, who’s that?” Evelyn Thomas asked, half curious and half

disdainful. “Are there still people who dress like that these days, is

something wrong with her brain…”

Every girl present was dressed fashionably with carefully done

makeup, looking noble at first glance.

Isabella’s strange hairstyle and makeup were unlike anything they’d

ever seen.

Bianca pressed her lips together and said softly, “She’s the daughter

of our family’s housekeeper.”

Bianca’s voice wasn’t loud, but Isabella could still hear it. She just

casually glanced at her.

“So that’s her!” Everyone suddenly understood.

“I’ve heard about the Taylor Family deciding to support their

deceased housekeeper’s daughter, but I didn’t expect it to be this

tacky girl.”

“So girls from the mountains all dress like this, what an eye–opener…” Abigail Rodriguez’s lips twitched at the corner. She was very into

fashion and aesthetics, so seeing Isabella like this made her feel

somewhat disgusted.

“Bianca, don’t you find it unlucky to live with someone like this every

day?” Evelyn frowned. “She doesn’t look like a good person to me.”

“Don’t say that, sister is actually very nice.”

“What, you actually call her sister? She’s just a housekeeper’s

daughter. Calling her sister, don’t you feel like it degrades your

status?”

“Exactly, Bianca, I really don’t know what your mother was thinking,

actually raising a housekeeper’s daughter at home. I think this kind of

charity should just be giving some money, there’s no need to be so

good to a girl you have no blood relation with.”

Bianca sighed. “Sister is very pitiful. That housekeeper was very good

to our family before, so that’s why my mother would do this.”

“No matter how good she was, you shouldn’t have to live with

someone like this. She looks like she’s covered in germs…”

A soda can was thrown at the feet of the person speaking.

“Have you said enough?” Isabella looked up at them, her eyes full of

disdain.

“You’re just a bunch of rich kids, what’s so great about that? Acting so

high and mighty?”

“Talking like you’re all so clean, aren’t you all just things piled up

with makeup and powder?”

Her gaze slowly moved to one of the girls‘ faces, and she frowned. “Your eyes and nose are both fake. If you really thought you were

beautiful, why did you get plastic surgery?”

“A bunch of ugly freaks!”

Isabella’s barrage of attacks left the air in a moment of silence.

All the socialites froze.

Their eyes filled with disbelief.

Ugly freaks?

This woman actually called them ugly freaks?

Abigail snapped back to reality and laughed in anger. “Wait, you’re

just a housekeeper’s daughter, where do you get off having such an

attitude? What’s wrong with saying a few things to you?”

She couldn’t believe that someone from the countryside would dare

talk to them like this.

“Do you think you know why you’re standing here today? It’s because

your mother’s employer was kind enough to let you live in this

luxurious villa!”

Abigail looked down at her condescendingly. “You should respect your

master!”

“Master?” Isabella suddenly shot a look sharp as a blade toward

Bianca.

A bad feeling immediately rose in Bianca’s heart.

The next second she heard Isabella’s low voice say, “Bianca, should I

tell your good friends that actually you…”

‘Sister!” Bianca immediately called out. She grabbed Isabella’s hand.

“Sister, don’t be angry, they didn’t mean it…”

Isabella shook off her hand.

“Tell them to get lost, and it’s best if I never see them again.”

Isabella coldly dropped this line and walked away.
