In an instant, Benjamin felt a chill run through his entire body.
What… what was going on?
How could a girl have such a terrifying presence?
That scene just now must have been faked.
Benjamin frowned hard, forcing himself to pull it together.
A girl who looked so fragile–how on earth could she possibly have
beaten Brian up like that?
He didn’t believe it.
“You’re asking for it!”
Benjamin clenched his fist and swung it toward Isabella’s face.
Isabella grabbed his hand, twisted it behind his back, and dislocated
his arm in one move. Then her elbow slammed hard into his head.
Benjamin immediately spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

Isabella landed several brutal punches to his stomach, grabbed him
by the waist, and shoved him forward.
Benjamin’s back slammed against the wall. He coughed up blood and
went completely still.
The empty street fell silent once again.
Isabella calmly removed the item from her back, opened the wooden
case, and took out the autoharp, placing it on the ground.
She felt around the space beneath the strings and, sure enough, found
a knob on the left side. After turning it twice, a wooden piece popped
out. Isabella pulled it out and glanced at its content. Then she took a
silver–gray lighter from her pocket and set the piece on fire.
Watching the wood burn down to just a corner between her fingers,
Isabella gently blew out the remaining flame, tossed the autoharp
beside Benjamin, and walked away.
Second floor of the café across the street.
William quietly watched Isabella’s figure disappear into the distance
before looking away.
He frowned and let out a helpless sigh. His slender fingers reached

into his suit jacket pocket, pulled out his phone, and made a call.
“The intersection of Willow Street and Laurel Street, surveillance
footage from 6:10 to 6:30–destroy it.”
Two hours later.
Isabella stood in front of the Taylor Villa.
Just as she reached the entrance, the door opened from within.
Standing at the door was the gatekeeper, Owen.
He had a rather stern face. When he saw Isabella, his eyes were
judgmental and somewhat disgusted. “Ms. Isabella Taylor, you
actually know to come back?”
Isabella looked up at him. “What’s wrong?”
She remembered that in her previous life, this Owen had been very
hostile toward her with a terrible attitude.
Though she rarely ran into him normally, so she hadn’t thought much
of it.

“You have the nerve to ask what’s wrong?” Owen said harshly. “The
Baker Family came today and nearly called off the engagement with
Ms. Bianca Taylor!”
Isabella narrowed her eyes. “Nearly?”
Owen looked at her coldly. “Mr. Baker is deeply in love with Ms. Bianca Taylor. He knelt before his father and begged, saying he would marry no one but Miss Bianca in this lifetime. The Baker Family only has this one son, so they had no choice but to decide not to cancel
the engagement for now.”
He continued, “Mrs. Taylor said that since you’ve caused such trouble for the family and left so willfully, tonight you either kneel at the door to reflect on your mistakes, or don’t come home at all. Whatever happens to you out there has nothing to do with the Taylor Family!”
With that, Owen shut the door right in her face.
Olivia had said Isabella had been far too arrogant lately.
She needed to be taught a lesson.
Owen agreed completely. A nobody who grew up outside the family-
bringing her back was already generous enough. Yet she had the audacity to publicly reveal the truth about her identity. Wasn’t she

just trying to replace Bianca?
Bianca was so well–mannered and excellent in every way. How could Isabella possibly compare to a girl from the countryside?
Owen looked at Isabella with displeasure, waiting for her to kneel.
Isabella turned and walked away.
Owen: “?”
She just left?
While he stood there stunned, Isabella had already walked farther away, as if she truly didn’t plan to come in.
Owen snapped back to reality, anxiously opened the door, and called out to Isabella’s retreating figure, “Ms. Isabella Taylor, where are you
going?”
“Mrs. Taylor is waiting for you inside. She said as long as you kneel and reflect for one hour, admitting your mistakes, you can come
home!”
For such a serious mistake, kneeling for just one hour was already a
light punishment.

What reason did Isabella have to refuse?
Isabella didn’t look back. “Tell Mrs. Taylor I don’t have time to play
this boring kneeling game with her anymore.”
Owen froze on the spot.
Things were developing completely differently from what he’d
expected. His mind went blank for a moment, not knowing how to
react.
By the time Owen came to his senses, Isabella had already disappeared from view.
Owen slapped his thigh and rushed back inside, his voice unable to hide his panic. “Mrs. Taylor! This is bad! Ms. Isabella Taylor is gone!”
