Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 1039

They all knew the organization always made good on its threats.

If they became a liability, they would be discarded.

And their end would be unimaginably gruesome.

In the corner, Isabella had already curled herself into a tight, trembling ball.

Since attaching herself to Sebastian, she had harbored suspicions that the Doyle family's empire wasn't built on legitimate business.

After all, Sebastian was a total psychopath.

And Arthur was clearly the most depraved psychopath of them all.

What kind of legitimate enterprise could a family of monsters run? It had to be something horrific.

But now...

Listening to the Doyles' conversation and witnessing the arrival of this terrifying Special Envoy...

Isabella was overwhelmed by a suffocating wave of despair.

She realized the Doyles weren't just engaged in twisted deals; they were deeply entrenched in something highly illegal.

If this blew up, it meant hard prison time, or worse.

And she had tied herself directly to Sebastian.

Serena had utterly ruined him.

Did that mean Serena would tear down the entire Doyle family next?

If the Doyles fell... what would happen to her?

She was starting to wonder if she had chosen a suicidal path.

Isabella huddled against the side of the hospital bed, panic and sheer terror radiating from her.

Suddenly, Arthur's predatory gaze locked onto her, his eyes dark and menacing. "You..."

He pointed a finger at her and beckoned. "Crawl over here."

Isabella's eyelashes fluttered in terror as tears streamed down her face.

It was an involuntary reaction to pure fear.

Her tears landed on Arthur's fingers.

He frowned in disgust and delivered a stinging backhand across her cheek. "Shut up, you pathetic bitch. Why are you crying? Your man isn't dead yet!"

The strike sent Isabella collapsing to the floor, shaking but too terrified to move a muscle.

"From what I know, those hypocrites in the Lancaster family love to play the righteous saviors. They raised you. They wouldn't just throw you out because they found their biological daughter. That doesn't fit their precious moral image."

Arthur placed a heavy foot squarely on Isabella's back, glaring down at her with absolute contempt. "So tell me, little bitch. I want to know how a country girl—a piece of trash discarded by some third-rate family like the Wynns in Vaelion City—has the power to reduce the esteemed Lancaster heiress to this pathetic state?"

"Tell me every single thing you know about Serena. Leave nothing out. Because if I find out you hid even a single detail..."

He suddenly shifted his weight, grinding his shoe aggressively into her back.

Isabella let out a shrill scream of agony, tears and snot running down her face.
