Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 455

Isabella never expected that in a situation like this, Nicholas would actually step forward and brazenly speak up for Serena.

Karen was his cousin. A member of the Blackwood family!

For Serena's sake, was he willing to disregard the Blackwood family's reputation?

Did he really like Serena that much?

Isabella's heart clenched with frustration. She was so jealous and humiliated she felt like she was going to have a heart attack.

She looked at Karen, standing there ramrod straight, not daring to move, and knew...

now that Nicholas had stepped in, there was no possibility of breaking the bet.

Neither she nor Karen... could escape.

But...

To really make her fulfill this bet in front of so many people?

She'd never be able to hold her head high in this social circle again!

Isabella couldn't even dare to imagine such a scene.

Her eyes brimming with tears, she immediately looked toward the Lancaster family, her voice pitifully pleading, "Grandpa, Mom, Dad, Julian..."

"Can you... can you please plead with Nicholas for me? This bet... I didn't agree to this bet. Can you please ask Nicholas to... to just let it go, please?"

As long as the Lancaster family was willing to speak up and plead for her, Nicholas would surely accommodate the Lancaster family.

This matter had nothing to do with her in the first place.

It was all Karen talking to herself; she hadn't said a single word from beginning to end!

Why should she be the one to fulfill this bet now?

Her mouth moved, but under the seemingly all-seeing gazes of her family, her face turned deathly pale.

Julian pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice quiet. "The Lancaster family's reputation is built on integrity and responsibility. If you renege and run away today, that is what will truly make everyone look down on the Lancaster family and question our character. Who would dare to trust and cooperate with the Lancaster family in the future?"

Isabella's lips trembled again.

She looked at her family, at their complicated expressions, seeing they had no intention of helping her.

Her heart felt as if it were being pricked by countless needles, a dense pain that threatened to consume her body.

They were clearly biased toward Serena.

They just wanted her to be humiliated so Serena could use her as a stepping stone!

They just wanted to watch her be disgraced, to watch her lose all face in Vaelion City's high society, all to pave the way for Serena!
