A Superpowered Warrior in a Fake Heiress’s Body

Chapter 52 A Sudden Protector

“Even the varsity club players couldn’t take you on!

“Isabella, you are a total badass!”

Brett flashed a wide grin, exposing two sharp canines.

Finished

He had caught wind of Isabella’s legendary showdown yesterday and initially assumed it was a coincidence but a quick double–check proved it was her, so he immediately locked onto the gossip.

He had fully intended to hunt her down today anyway, never expecting to run straight into her on the trail.

Shifting his tone, he asked with genuine concern, “Mia and her crew didn’t give you any more trouble, did they?

“How did your dad handle the fallout?

“Look, if they’re breathing down your neck, I can swing by your estate to smooth things over and tell them the Bexley brats started the fight, so you’re totally in the clear.”

Recalling how Isabella had been left completely abandoned to walk down the twisting cliff road alone, Brett was thoroughly disgusted.

What kind of trashy upbringing did the Powell family possess any

She was a teenage girl, for god’s sake, and they just dumped her on the curb to navigate a highway alone.

Even if she grew up in the backwoods, treating her like garbage was uncalled for.

Seriously…

They were an absolute embarrassment to the entire high–society circle.

“Don’t sweat it.”

A soft smile broke across Isabella’s face.

She maintained genuine goodwill toward Brett and Eugene for bailing her out earlier, breaking her usual icy armor, her voice carried a light chuckle. “The whole mess is already sorted out.

“My dad and the others didn’t hold it against me.”

To be fair, they hadn’t blamed her; they had just demanded she drop the charges to keep their business partners happy.

Too bad she had already forced Mia’s crew to crawl on their knees.

And she made damn sure both the Bexleys and the Powells bled heavily for trying to squeeze her.

Isabella lowered her eyelids slightly, masking the razor–sharp frost dancing in her dark eyes. “You don’t need to worry about a thing.

Chapter 52 A Sudden Protector

“Give my best to your brother.”

Finished

Even though she had just breached his mainframe under her Vex alias to hand him a multi–million–dollar joint venture last night.

Hearing their familiar banter, Noah let out a quiet scoff, crossing his arms over his chest as he took in the

scene.

Unbelievable. Since when does this girl smile this brightly at someone?

He had honestly assumed she treated every human being on earth like an absolute block of ice.

Hmph.

A strange wave of irritation brushed through Noah’s chest.

He completely forgot his own history of treating her like an absolute menace, making this rejection entirely his own fault.

As Noah grunted in annoyance, Brett nodded before turning back to him, asking curiously, “So, what are you two up to?”

He asked a bit cautiously, terrified that Isabella might have somehow provoked the volatile Wayne heir.

After all, if someone claimed Isabella had weaponized her charms to seduce Noah, Brett wouldn’t believe a single syllable of it.

Her fiercely independent, lethal posture on the highway was permanently burned into his memory.

He was genuinely worried she had stepped on Noah’s toes, and that the guy was currently plotting to humiliate or retaliate against her.

Detecting the blatant suspicion in his eyes, Noah let out a mocking laugh, reading his mind instantly. “Relax.”

“I’m not that petty. I’m actually just…”

He paused mid–sentence, scrambling for a cover story before blurting out, “I’m actually just asking Isabella for some tutoring!”

After all, he could hardly admit they were currently conducting a deep–dive investigation into where she acquired her special forces combat skills.

Under normal circumstances, Noah wouldn’t even waste his breath giving a commoner an explanation.

But since Isabella was tight with the Carters, and Eugene was a major player…

Noah figured he should throw together a semi–plausible excuse to keep things smooth.

Otherwise, given his savage reputation at Westbrook Academy, a rumor about him terrorizing a female classmate would reach his older brother’s desk by tomorrow morning.

The mere thought of his brother’s brutal military drills and his father’s booming roars made his jaw ache with phantom pain,

Brett stared at Noah, his face a perfect picture of absolute bewilderment.
