Her Divorce, His Downfall (Sophia and Damian) novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160

Rhea helped Isabelle to her feet, her chest still heaving with lingering terror, yet she was quick to chime in with a coaxing

tone.

“Damian, this girl truly loves you with all her heart. When you were with Sophia, she kept all her feelings locked away and

suffered in silence.

“Now that the chance has finally come, it’s clear the two of you are meant to be. Isabelle is Aaron’s goddaughter, and marrying her will be the perfect way to repay him for saving your life. Aaron’s spirit would be so proud to see this.”

Mentioning Aaron so deliberately only deepened Damian’s suspicion.

He listened to Rhea’s hollow, flattering words with silent scorn, his outward composure unchanged.

A plan took shape in his mind; he would play the part perfectly, make Isabelle fall from the height of joy into utter despair, and once Damian uncovered the truth about her identity, he would force her to atone for everything in front of Sophia,

A faint, mocking glint appeared in Damian’s eyes as he spoke with a half–smile, “Very well. We’ll get engaged first. I’ll make an offfeial announcement as soon as I’m discharged from the 11:33

hospital.”

The words sounded warm and sincere, but his inner thoughts were ice–cold.

Welcome to hell.

A cage he built just for her. Isabelle would never escape it for the rest of her life.

“Damian, I knew you’d always be the one for me! Thank you, thank you so much…”

Isabelle was overcome with joy, bursting into tears as she threw her arms around Rhea and sobbed loudly.

These were tears of relief and long–awaited happiness, yet she failed to notice the disdain and malice lurking in Damian’s eyes, or even the fact that he had nearly killed her moments before.

All she could feel was the thrill and satisfaction of marrying into New York’s most elite family.

Tears pricked Rhea’s eyes as she watched Damian speak so earnestly of marrying her daughter. Her girl would not be forced out of New York after all.

After all their scheming, their goal was finally within reach.

Her daughter was going to marry New York’s most coveted heir, taking the place that had once belonged to Elaine’s daughter.

What good had it done Elaine to raise Sophia to be so accomplished? She had lost to Isabelle in the end.

If Elaine knew that Sophia’s husband was set to marry the very person who had gotten Sophia killed, she would never rest in

peace.

Rhea’s heart swelled with triumph at the thought of finally outshining Elaine in every way.

She shifted her tone to one of helpless sorrow, wiping at her eyes as she spoke.

“Damian, Isabelle injured her lung in a drowning incident not long ago. She’s been recovering for weeks but still hasn’t fully regained her strength…”

“I’ll handle it,” Damian replied, a flicker of dark amusement crossing his features while his face remained gentle. He pulled out his phone at once and called Liam, issuing sharp orders loud enough for both women to hear.

“Contact and arrange a top–tier team of specialists in respiratory and critical care medicine, along with full diagnostic equipment. Have them at Mercy Grace Hospital within one hour to take gyer Isabelle Anderson’s entire treatment. She is to re eive only3

the highest standard of care.”

Once Liam had acknowledged the order, Damian ended the call. From the corner of his eye, he saw the undisguised excitement in Rhea and Isabelle’s expressions, and a silent, cold scoff escaped

his throat.

Still, he kept his voice soft and thoughtful. “If she’s going to join the Hall family, she needs to be in perfect health. My fiancée will never have to settle for less than she deserves.”

Rhea was overjoyed, thanking him profusely.

“Damian, you’re so thoughtful! Isabelle is truly lucky to have you.”

Isabelle trembled with emotion, convinced that the position of Damian’s wife was already hers. She imagined returning to a life of being doted on by him, where no one would dare look down on her again.

Neither mother nor daughter caught the loathing and calculation hidden beneath Damian’s calm exterior,

His grand gesture of arranging a top medical team was nothing more than a show for the rest of the Hall family, meant to convince everyone of his devotion to Isabelle,
