Chapter 179 The Digital Rescue
Finished
Hannah was sobbing uncontrollably as she screarned into the phone, her voice raw with humiliation.
She had just been publicly shamed and thrown out of the store—and in front of everyone, no less.
The moment she was forced to leave, all those so–called friends who’d followed her lead immediately scattered like startled birds.
After all, if Isabella could get the store staff to turn on Hannah with just one word, it was obvious she wasn’t someone you crossed lightly.
The group felt used–like Hannah had led them into a mess only to leave them facing consequences she couldn’t even handle herself. Right there on the sidewalk, they tore into her before going their ways, leaving Hannah standing alone, fuming and resentful.
She refused to believe Isabella had managed that on her own.
She must have pulled strings with the Carters or the Waynes.
separate
Of course–the Waynes had never been afraid of Adrian, and they wouldn’t care about any warnings he’d put out there. So naturally, they’d back Isabella up.
Why does Isabella get all the luck?
She has the Carters and the Waynes wrapped around her finger!
Isabella was just some nobody from the sticks–how could she possibly compare to Hannah?
And yet, she’d somehow managed to humiliate Hannah completely.
Wiping her tears angrily, Hannah’s mind raced.
What hurt even more was that Isaac had returned to Powell Villa recently and acted like she didn’t even
exist.
Isabella must have poisoned him against her–turned her own brother into a stranger.

Everything going wrong in her life right now was Isabella’s fault!
Fueled by spite, Hannah spat into the phone, “And don’t think it’s such a big deal that Isaac’s on your side
now!
“He can’t even help himself at this point!
“Adrian locked him up at the company–he can’t even come back home!
“In the end, the Powell family belongs to Adrian. You can’t use Isaac to try and take control!
“And now he’s stuck in this mess… because of you.”
Earlier, Hannah had overheard part of a conversation between Adrian and their father–something about

Isaac losing his mind, challenging Adrian for authority, and needing to be taught a lesson.
Now, out of pure malice, she threw it all out there.
Finished
When Hannah finished, Isabella’s expression cooled. She fixed her with a sharp look and said in an icy tone, “Hannah, do you honestly think the money you spend is yours?
“Let me remind you–the Powell family carries the Powell name. And you weren’t born a Powell.”
Isabella’s gaze was penetrating, almost merciless.
How dare Hannah come at her, accusing her of living off others?
Even if that were true–which it wasn’t–what gave Hannah the right to judge?
Had Hannah ever earned a single dollar on her own?
The Powell family was named Powell.
And Hannah hadn’t started out as one–she was the one who’d stepped into someone else’s life.
And here she was, preaching and threatening?
Isabella let out a cold, quiet laugh.
She gave Hannah one last dismissive glance, then turned away without another word–she wasn’t wasting another second on her.
As she headed toward the elevators, Hannah tried to follow, but security stepped in and blocked her path.
After the scene she’d caused, store management had already warned security not to let her back in–at least not anytime soon.
All Hannah could do was stomp her foot in frustration, watching Isabella disappear from view, her face flushed with rage.
But Isabella’s cool expression didn’t waver–only a flicker of thought passed behind her eyes.
Isaac… locked up by Adrian? At the company?
What happened?
Had Isaac really crossed Adrian’s line that quickly?
Isabella had expected it to take longer.
After all, Isaac knew next to nothing about how the company actually ran.
Adrian shouldn’t have moved against him so fast.
