She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 367

Chapter 367

Calling Dominic had been the best move. It struck directly at Isabella’s weakest point.

Finger marks still marred Lydia’s cheek, but fear no longer ruled her. She looked at Isabella and asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”

Isabella’s eyes blazed. She ground her teeth and said, “I want to kill you right now!”

Lydia clenched her jaw. “Then do it. Kill me!”

Isabella drew a deep breath and forced down the madness surging inside her. She lifted her hand and snapped, “Let’s go.”

The three men exchanged glances and followed her out without a word.

Each of them sighed inwardly. The son–in–law’s status in the family was astonishingly high. Even the fearless, domineering Isabella had been completely restrained by him.

Once they were gone, Lydia rushed to lock the door. She leaned back against it, all her strength draining away, and slowly slid down to the floor.

After a long while, her breathing finally steadied.

She picked up her phone and dialed a number.

When the call connected, a flat voice

Grant, I can’t do this anymore. The Sinclairs came after me. If I hadn’t gotten lucky just now, I’d

an’t we give up? The Sinclairs are backing him.”

“Don’t worry,” Zachary said calmly. “Once it succeeds, I’ll protect you. The Sinclairs‘ foundation is in Eastmere State. In Skyline City, they can’t cause much trouble.”

“But-”

Before Lydia could continue, Zachary’s voice turned icy. “Think it through carefully. Then tell me your decision.”

Lydia’s heart jolted.

In Skyline City, the Grants‘ influence far surpassed that of the Sinclairs. She had no choice. “I understand. I’ll follow the plan.”

If she truly angered Zachary, he had the means to erase her without a trace.

Lydia could only give in.

She had not expected, however, that even Zachary himself did not dare to move against Dominic personally.

After leaving Lydia’s law firm, Isabella climbed into the car and hurriedly sent Dominic a message.

Isabella: [Don’t be angry, honey. I was just afraid she might hurt you. I did it for your own good!]

As soon as she sent it, she saw a single gray tick.

Then the system notification appeared. The message had been sent but rejected by the recipient.

Isabella froze.

In disbelief, she rubbed her eyes and wiped the screen hard. After confirming what she saw, her entire body began to tremble.

Her lips shook as she stubbornly sent another message.

Isabella: [Honey, this isn’t real, right?)

The reply was still a single gray tick.

She had been blocked.

With shaking hands, she called Dominic. He seemed to know why she was calling.

The moment he answered, before she could speak, he said calmly, “From now on, contact me by phone only about matters related to Lily.”

Then he hung up.

Isabella stood there, phone in hand, her face drained of all color.

She remained frozen for a long time.

The man in the driver’s seat asked nervously, “Ms. Sinclair… where are we going next?”

Isabella finally broke down. Her voice choked as she said, “To hell.”

She slumped against the seat and burst into loud sobs.

The three men exchanged looks, then quietly stepped out of the car. None of them dared to speak. They stood outside, smoking in silence.
