Reborn: The Unwanted Heiress's Revenge (Isabella) novel Chapter 13

Isabella slammed the door shut, the anger and hatred from

earliervanishing instantly, replaced by a cold, mocking smile.

Things were unfolding just like they had in her previous life.

Back then, Gabriel had bought her this exact same dress.

The style, the color- everything was identical.

She had accepted the dress without opening it immediately, feeling happy just to receive a gift from Gabriel and not caring what it was.

But when she went to her room to try it on, she found it had been cut

to shreds and was completely unwearable.

It felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her, leaving

her heart in a state of disappointment.

Ever since she had returned to this family, Gabriel had often played pranks on her. Naturally, she thought this was just another one of his pranks–giving her a ruined dress to let her experience the sting of

dashed hopes.

Chapter 13

Despite this, she tried to mend the dress because it was the first “gift”

Gabriel had given her.

But the dress was too damaged, and no matter what she tried, she

couldn’t fix it.

Eventually, she put the dress in the bottom drawer of her wardrobe.

Just as she was starting to forget about it, the dress reappeared–this

time in the trash can.

Gabriel saw the dress in the trash and exploded in anger, demanding

to know why she had cut up and thrown away his gift.

She hadn’t put the dress in the trash.

She told Gabriel that the dress had been ruined from the start.

Gabriel got even angrier. His anger seemed genuine, and he demanded to know why she hadn’t told him right away if the dress

was already ruined.

She had no way to defend herself.

The whole incident blew up, making her look like a two–faced liar

who pretended to be friendly with the Taylor family while secretly

hating her brothers.

Everyone’s opinion of her immediately changed.

The already tense relationships only got worse.

Thinking back, Gabriel’s attitude and Bianca’s suspicious behavior

from earlier now made it clear that Bianca had definitely been the

one to ruin the dress.

Her motive was obvious–to drive a wedge between her and Gabriel.

“Bianca, how did the dress I bought for Isabella end up like this?”

Gabriel pulled Bianca into a corner and asked.

He hadn’t ruined the dress, and he was fed up with Isabella’s

accusations.

Why would Isabella assume it was him without investigating? If he

had done it, would he be stupid enough to do it in front of Olivia?

And in such a crude manner?

Bianca looked at the ruined dress in Gabriel’s hand and bit her lip. I

don’t know.”

Chapter 13

“You don’t know?” Gabriel was surprised. “Bianca, you picked out the

dress. Didn’t you notice a big tear when you bought it?”

He had paid for it, but he hadn’t touched the dress at all.

“But when I picked it out, the dress was fine,” Bianca said softly,

biting her lip. “I really have no idea how it ended up like this.”

“Could the store clerk have done it while packing it?” Gabriel was

getting agitated. “Bianca, think carefully. Besides you, who else

touched the dress?”

Bianca lowered her eyes, pretending to think hard. She was silent for

a while and then eventually looked up to reply quietly, “Maybe the

clerk did something while packing it.”

She couldn’t possibly tell Gabriel that she had secretly slashed the

dress while he went to get her coffee.

She had assumed Isabella would be too shy to open the dress in

public, and when she eventually found it ruined in her room, she

wouldn’t dare say anything. That was the reason she had done it.

But Isabella’s reaction was completely unexpected. She had brought

out the dress immediately.

Isabella must have been crazy. So annoying.

Bianca observed Gabriel’s face carefully, worried he might suspect her.

Fortunately, Gabriel didn’t seem to suspect her. He just clenched the

dress tightly, fuming, “I’m going to the store to get this sorted out!”

Bianca quickly grabbed his arm, stopping him.. “Gabriel, you don’t

have to get angry.”

“How can I not getangry? Didn’t you see how Isabella acted just now?”

Gabriel said irritably. “I need to make it clear that this has nothing to

do with me.”

“Gabriel, if you confront the store clerk, she won’t admit it. She might

even accuse us of causing trouble. The dress wasn’t expensive. I don’t

think it’s worth making a big deal out of this.”

Bianca held onto Gabriel’s arm, looking innocent. “Let’s just tell

Isabella the clerk accidentally cut it while removing the tag. You

didn’t know about it. Then we can pick out a prettier dress for her.
