Chapter 645
Elodia rushed to meet Isabella as soon as she got back to the Northernville Manor.
As Isabella saw Elodia, she instantly noticed the sharpness and hardness in Elodia’s gaze. She couldn’t help but feel slightly astonished, but she also felt proud of her.
“Bella, I may have gone bad,” Elodia murmured.
Isabella arched one of her eyebrows and asked, I heard that you got someone to run over Benjamin’s leg?”
Elodia’s normally assured gaze was now filled with doubt. She did not have the courage to look Isabella in the eye as she apologized to Bella and said, “I’m sorry. Perhaps I’m a truly awful person. Yet I don’t feel any remorse for having done this.”
“For what reason do you feel sorry? You didn’t let me down. Before you act on anything, the only person you should be thinking about is yourself. Since you have done it, just think about bearing the consequences. After everything Benjamin has done to you, why can’t you take revenge on him now that you can? I’m only afraid that you won’t be able to handle the consequences of your actions.” That was all Isabella could say.
Elodia tried to explain herself, “I cannot take the brunt of the consequences alone. Despite this, I went ahead and did it because I know you will be there to back me up.”
Isabella squinted her eyes and chuckled lightly, “Then I have to thank you for trusting me.”
Elodia saw that Isabella’s eyes were bright and held without any hint of judgment. Elodia couldn’t help but grin. This time, she was really contented and able to let go of everything.
“Bella, it feels good to be a bad guy once in a while.”
She sat across from Isabella and fixed her gaze on Isabella with her dazzling eyes.
She had no idea when it began, but she soon developed a deep admiration for Isabella. Isabella had an untouchable idol position in Isabella’s head.
Elodia was staring at Isabella intently as Draxton entered the house.
Something more than platonic friendship existed between the two girls, as seen by the glow in Elodia’s eyes.
Draxton felt his mind was completely blown away. He realized he needed to guard against both men and women in the future.
At first, he was willing to help Elodia because of Bella.
For now, all he could think was that as a man, he had to be colder and more ruthless.
Otherwise, he would undoubtedly lose his status!
“Bella, is Ollie asleep? Draxton came striding over and abruptly broke Elodia’s eye contact.
Elodia was surprised to see him. She had a slight feeling that Draxton’s demeanor was off in some way, but she was unable to pinpoint what it was.
Draxton sat down alongside Isabella tenderly and stretched out to bring her into his embrace. He asked gently, What do you want to eat tonight? I’ll go and prepare it.”
Isabella cast a sideways look at him. She wondered why Draxton was behaving so strangely today, but she couldn’t seem to figure it out.
Isabella said, “I love everything that you make. They’re really delicious.”
She talked with an overly expressive look of love on her face.
Draxton was happy as he secretly throw a look at Elodia.
Seeing Elodia’s blank expression, he could not help but snort coldly in his heart. It was really difficult to guard against a thief.
He had to think of a way to get Elodia out of his house and not make Bella unhappy.
However, for now, he could not let Elodia get any closer to Bella.
Hence, he said, “Miss Hudson, Key has been quite concerned about you since your accident. I’ll have someone send you to the Lockwood family’s residence now. Don’t worry, with my people around, Gary won’t dare to act hastily.”
When Elodia heard this, she was extremely grateful for Draxton.
For Mr. Lockwood to take notice of a nobody like her, Elodia knew it had to be because of Bella.
Elodia’s appreciation for Draxton briefly shifted to appreciation and enthusiasm for Isabella.
She looked at Isabella with delight.
As he noticed her affectionate gaze on Isabella, the veins on Draxton’s forehead throbbed.
He couldn’t stand it any longer. Draxton immediately called Silas and asked him to send Elodia to the Lockwood family’s residence to see Kieran.
