Chapter 208 Visiting Isabelle
When the door swung open, the Sullivan brothers were right there.
Isabelle didn’t even think twice before slamming it shut.
The two brothers nearly ran smack into the closed door.
Lucky for them, if they’d shown up ten minutes carlier, Isabelle would’ve kicked them out.
They ended up being shut out, waiting outside the villa all day without a chance to meet, and finally returned to the Sullivan residence feeling dejected.
Even though they hadn’t done a DNA test, it seemed pretty obvious.
The two brothers, feeling helpless, decided it was time to tell the family.
They figured they’d need the whole family’s support, especially since their wives and daughters understood girls better than they did as men.
And, most importantly, they had to make things right with Old Madam Sullivan and personally bring the child back.
“Isabelle is Uncle Brad’s daughter?!”
Bella stared at the old photo of the woman, whose face was almost a mirror image of Isabelle’s, in disbelief.
The next day.
The Sullivans sprung into action.
When the doorbell rang, someone in the villa answered and rushed to open the door. When it swung open, the people inside and outside exchanged puzzled looks.
They all froze.
Danny thought it was the food delivery and hurried to the door without even bothering to put on his shoes, still clutching his gaming controller. Instead of the delivery guy, he was greeted by an old lady whose eyes brimmed with sorrow and excitement.
Maverik, blurted out in surprise, “Mr. Danny, is that you?”
Did I walk into the wrong place?
Bella exclaimed, “Danny? What are you doing here?”
Danny, tall and imposing, glared back at Bella who stood behind Wade. “Why can’t I be here?”
Bella sighed inwardly, Such a bootlicker.
“Mr. Sullivan? What’s going on. Are you just dropping by or did you guys recently move in to visit the neighbours?” Danny asked.
Wade replied, “We’re looking for Isabelle.”

Chapter 208 Visiting Isabelle
“Why are you looking for my boss? Oh, I see, it’s about the birthday banquet incident, right?” He glanced reluctantly at Dakota.
Are they here to settle the score with Isabelle, or are they apologising because they couldn’t handle the pressure from the
Harrises?
“We’ve got something important to talk to her about. Is she around? Could you let her know, Mr. Danny?” Wade asked sincerely.
It doesn’t sound like they are here for payback from his tone.
“Hold on a sec, let me check if she’s home.”
Danny glanced at the well–mannered Sullivan brothers and then at the elderly lady standing at the door with anticipation.
He couldn’t just leave the elders standing outside like this. Seeing their genuine intentions, he invited them in.
“Mr. Sullivan, please come in and have a seat,” Danny said.
“Thank you, Mr. Danny. Mom, take your time,” Wade said.
Mom? Danny turned his head to glance at the elderly lady at the front, whose gaze had been strange along. Is this Old Madam Sullivan?
Isn’t she supposed to be spending her days in seclusion, praying and never leaving the house?
How did she end up here, looking for Isabelle?

Wade, watching Danny head upstairs, seemed to have figured something out. “So, this young master from the Holmes family and Isabelle are
Bella interjected, ‘Nah, he’s the one buttering her up.”
The Sullivan brothers suddenly caught on. He’s her suitor.
“This kid has been through a lot outside, constantly abused by her adopted mother, but luckily, she’s resourceful, Wade said, eyeing the living room while feeling sorry for Isabelle.
Before they knew it, Danny descended the stairs.
All eyes from the Sullivans were focused on him.
“My boss said she’s out, and she also said for you guys to stop coming around.” Or else, she won’t be polite with
Danny didn’t sugarcoat it when relaying the message.
He wondered, How many times have they shown up?
*Raised in the countryside, she really has no manners. Even when Grandma came herself, she still wouldn’t bother to come down,” Dakota grumbled, her expression sour.
Maverik scolded his daughter and Old Madam Sullivan ioined in with the reprimand.
