Chapter 328 An Indispensable Asset

Isabella regarded him with serene detachment, answering calmly, “Regardless of the past, Isaac remains my brother, and no outsider has the right to lecture him.

“Furthermore, how the Powell family treated me is none of your business.”

Her eyes chilled as she spoke in an icy cadence, “The Callahan family certainly loves playing the righteous crusader.

“Why didn’t I see you standing up against Isaac’s conduct back when he held power?”

A mocking sneer curled her lips, “Now that the Powells have fallen, you jump out to kick him while he’s down.

“Callahan family values are truly inspiring.

“Consider me thoroughly enlightened.”

Casting a cool nod toward the Callahan corporate executives lingering nearby, she added, “I will remember what transpired today.”

At her remark, Chairman Richard Callahan’s face drained of all color.

Everyone in elite society knew Isabella was the treasured darling of Carter Group, backed by deep ties to the Wayne family.

Many had witnessed Kevin Parker and Steven Wayne treating her with gentle warmth back at Skyview Tower.

With so many prominent peers watching, the chairman couldn’t sweep it under the rug.

Doing nothing would confirm their family had no discipline or integrity.

He pressed sharply, “Apologize right now!”

Wilting under his father’s fury, Trevor offered a sullen, reluctant apology.

“I’m terribly sorry, Ms. Powell. I spoke without thinking, so please be magnanimous and overlook my slip of the tongue.”
