Chapter 95 A Mother’s Advice

“Yeah, you’re right-

“I’m really not scared anymore.

Isabella decided to keep the full truth to herself after a moment of thought.

After all, nobody would ever believe that a teenage girl straight out of a backwoods village could walk away from a clash with eight savage convicts completely unfazed.

In reality, back in the 24th century, Isabella had ended more lives than she could count.

In a world starved of resources, vicious sociopaths were a dime a dozen

She had personally executed countless threats to survive.

She had been pulling the trigger since she was six years old without losing a single wink of sleep over it.

Hearing her answer only made Margaret’s heart ache even more for the girl.

She didn’t buy Isabella’s claim of being completely fine for a single second.

In her eyes, the poor child was clearly burying her trauma deep down inside.

Those godd*mn human traffickers!

It was painfully obvious to Margaret that Isabella had been neglected for so long in the sticks that she had completely forgotten how to process and express normal human emotions.

Then again, it was also possible that Isabella knew she had done the right thing, and her ironclad resolve kept her from being rattled by the gruesome sight of those criminals.

During her years doing charity work, Margaret had interacted with plenty of underprivileged kids from deep within impoverished, isolated areas.

She knew exactly how their minds worked.

Children from those extremely cut–off environments often developed a striking detachment toward what mainstream society considered good or bad, viewing the world with a sort of numb confusion.

Things that ordinary folks found completely horrific were often just a regular Tuesday for them.

Reaching this conclusion only made Margaret’s heart bleed further for the young girl.

She gently caressed Isabella’s cheek, “Alright, let’s put all that ugly business behind us.

“As long as you know you did the right thing, that’s all that matters.

“If you ever feel down or just need a good cry, you come straight to me.

“My room is just down at the very end of the hall, right across from yours.

“Oh, my sweet little Bella, you are just the most darling girl in the world.”

Margaret quickly shifted gears to break the heavy mood, “Now, look around and tell me what you like, and I’ll have the butler set it up immediately.

“Is there anything else about the room layout or decorations you want to swap out?

“Don’t you dare hold back with me.

“Oh, by the way, I have a whole collection of trendy outfits for young girls here.

“Look, I get that you like keeping things sharp and practical.

“But a young girl should still take pride in dressing up and looking gorgeous once in a while.

“Besides, the Powells owe you a lifetime of luxury. Why on earth are you saving them a single dime? You should be spending their money like water.”

Margaret shot Isabella a playful, scolding look, “They treat you like an afterthought, yet here you are trying to minimize their expenses.

“Why are you being so silly, sweetie?

“If people see you dressing down, they’ll look down on you, and the Powells won’t spare a shred of sympathy. They’ll probably just accuse you of embarrassing them.”

She drove her point home with absolute, unshakeable conviction, “So, you listen to me.

“Don’t feel even a tiny bit guilty.

“Why shouldn’t you live it up?! Don’t even think about refusing their money just to keep things ‘even‘ between you guys.

“Why should you want to be even?

“They are deeply in your debt!

“You went through years of h*ll, and you deserve to enjoy every single bit of it now.”

Margaret laid it out piece by piece, full of gentle guidance.

She wanted to make absolutely sure Isabella didn’t let her pride get in the way of her comfort.

Given the Powells‘ toxic track record, why save them a single penny?

They brought this on themselves by neglecting their own flesh and blood.

Isabella remained silent, entirely speechless.
