The 24th Century Warrior Became a Fake Heiress novel Chapter 2

"Ah!"

Hannah was caught completely off guard and didn't have time to react. Instinctively, she flailed her arms, grabbing at anything she could reach.

"Ah!"

She let out a scream. Isaac caught her, and her palm landed on his shoulder in shock.

"Isabella! What do you think you're doing?!"

Isaac and Daniel shouted at the same time.

Isaac, especially, looked both shocked and furious.

He knew Isabella had been bullying Hannah every single day!

Well, there it was! Right in front of them, she dared to shove Hannah.

But before they could say anything else, Isabella folded her arms across her chest and said coldly, "I was showing you what it actually looks like when I push someone."

She let out a mocking laugh and pulled Hannah over to the spot where she had fallen earlier. Her voice was icy as she continued, "Hannah, take a look at the marks on the floor. What's going on here?

"Are these marks the same as the ones from when you fell earlier?

"Also, the hand you grabbed Isaac with just now—it was this one, right?"

Isabella shot a pointed look at Isaac's right shoulder, then turned her gaze to the faint bloodstain on the left side of the floor, a smirk on her face.

"Sorry. Doesn't match."

Hannah was both shocked and furious.

She hadn't thought that far ahead. She had framed Isabella so many times before, and the other girl had never said a word.

It had never crossed her mind that Isabella had actually known she was being set up this whole time—and that she knew how to fight back. She just hadn't spoken up until today.

Panic flickered across Hannah's face.

She looked at Daniel and Isaac with wide, frightened eyes, like a cornered deer, and explained softly, "I... at the time, I was just really startled when my sister accidentally—

"I fell on my own.

"It had nothing to do with my sister.

"Isaac, Dad, I didn't explain it right.

"I'm sorry."

She held back her tears, looking utterly pitiful.

Isaac glanced at her, opened his mouth as if to say something, but eventually stopped himself.

Across from them, Daniel frowned, then said in a low voice, "Alright. Go upstairs."

Truthfully, both of them understood what was going on in Hannah's head. But considering how much unease Isabella's arrival had brought her, they couldn't bring themselves to blame her.

Hannah left with tears in her eyes.

Isabella sneered and turned to leave as well.

Just then, Isaac said flatly, "Hannah's shy and sensitive. She didn't mean to target you.

"From now on, try to keep your distance from her. Don't provoke her."

Hearing that, Isabella let out a laugh of disbelief.

She turned back to him, her voice icy with suppressed anger, and spoke directly to his face, "If she's that delicate and easily hurt, then tell her to stay far away from me. Tell her to keep her distance, mind her own business, and not go out of her way to provoke me. And tell her not to show her face in front of me ever again.

"Because if she does, I won't be held responsible for what happens next.

"I've already put up with more than enough.

"And don't you dare act like you're my brother.

"Who exactly do you think you are? I was raised in the countryside, not by the Powell family. You have no authority over me.

"Next time, save those lectures and that overprotective attitude for Hannah, okay?

"After all, she's the precious little sister you've always doted on."

Her face was cold as she disappeared down the hallway without looking back.

What a jerk.

Hannah doesn't mean to target me?
