“What do you think? Autumn would never lie to me.” Dominic’s cold voice drained all the strength from Isabella’s body. Her legs gave out, and she sank helplessly to the ground.
At that moment, Autumn took the phone back and turned off the speaker. No one knew what Dominic said next, but her sobbing abruptly stopped. A second later, she burst out laughing.
Isabella stared at the scene in a daze, as if her mind had gone blank.
After ending the call, Autumn sneered, “How does it feel?”
Isabella glared at her and rasped, “Why did you hurt me? Why did you lie to my husband?”
“Already can’t handle it?” Autumn laughed sharply and pointed at her. “I only returned a small part of what your good sworn brother did to Dominic. This is nothing. And you can’t even handle this?”
‘Good sworn brother… did to Dominic?‘ In that instant, realization struck Isabella, and her breath caught in her throat.
Autumn’s smile turned colder. “In the places you never saw, your dear brother bullied and provoked Dominic just like this. And you believed him every time.
“You protected him without question. Now do you understand how that feels? Do you still think it was just a simple misunderstanding?”
Isabella’s face drained of all color.

Autumn clenched her fists as a triumphant smile spread across her face. “So satisfying.”
A bodyguard approached and pointed toward the purple Porsche nearby, lowering his voice. “Miss, her car is still here…”
Autumn shot him a look and said flatly, “She’s already gone. Why would you even ask?”
The bodyguard retreated in embarrassment.

She had planned to go to Luxe Residence after confronting Autumn, but without realizing it, her steps carried her toward Riverside Residence instead.
Time passed unnoticed until she finally reached home.
She lacked the courage to face the empty house. After a brief pause, she turned and headed for Katherine’s place.
When Katherine saw her, she froze in shock at her sister’s devastated appearance. She hurriedly ended her livestream and asked, “What happened to you, Bella?”
At the sound of her concern, Isabella completely collapsed. She threw herself into Katherine’s arms and wailed. ” He doesn’t want me anymore! My husband doesn’t want me anymore! Wah!”
Katherine stiffened for a moment, then wrapped her arms around her, gently patting her back. “Cry. Let it all out.

You’ll feel a little better.”
Things had finally come to this.
A complicated expression flickered through Katherine’s eyes.
When one was trapped inside a situation, they could not see it clearly. From the outside, though, some outcomes were inevitable. She simply had not expected it to happen so soon.
Isabella sobbed uncontrollably, like a stray puppy with nowhere to go.
Between sobs, she choked out, “I regret it so much… Kathy… What should I do… I can’t live without Dom…”
“Then go

She did not know how else to comfort her.
Isabella lifted her tear–filled eyes. “Will he forgive me, Kathy?”
“I don’t know,” Katherine answered honestly.
