The billionaire's kick-ass wife novel (Isabella) novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 An Intolerable Grievance

Olivia originally did not intend to hide the matter from Isabella. She had dragged Jake to Northernville Manor because she wanted to ask Isabella for help.

She did not have any other choice. She needed help badly, as it was tricky dealing with Jake by herself.

When Isabella saw Olivia wink at her, she knew she could not expose Olivia in front of everyone. She could only pretend to glare at Jake angrily and pull Draxton away.

Jake stood still helplessly as he watched both of them disappear from his sight.

Draxton did not leave either. He asked, “Jake, what happened between you and Olivia?”

Jake kept quiet for a while before replying. “You saw what happened just now. She’s pregnant, and I forced her to have an abortion. We cannot have this child.”

Jake was undoubtedly a scumbag.

Draxton rolled up his sleeves, about to hit Jake. He was not fit to be Olivia’s brother if he did not teach Jake a lesson.

Seeing this, Jake’s expression changed slightly. “Mr. Lockwood, do you think you should discuss this with Bella before you hit me? Do you think Bella will let you get into a fight again?”

Draxton was speechless.

At that moment, the two men looked at each other and fell silent.

Meanwhile, Isabella pulled Olivia into the house. She asked helplessly, “Olivia, what’s going on between you and Jake?”

Olivia blushed. “We had some drinks, and I flirted with him…”

Isabella thought, “Jake finally had his day. A girl had made advances at him.

“Men were all the same.

“Who would believe that he did not make use of the opportunity?”

Seeing Isabella’s strange expression, Olivia quickly changed her story. “He was the one who seduced me…” Isabella now knew the truth.

“What a scumbag!” She cursed angrily.

Indignant, Olivia questioned, “Isabella, how can you say that about Jake?

“You must have been even more aggressive when you seduced my brother back then. Otherwise, how did you get yourself pregnant with two children?”

Isabella was stunned.

Her face was flushed red. All right then, she should not have called Jake a scumbag.

Isabella glared at Olivia and tried to cover her embarrassment by chiding her. “Tell me honestly, what’s with the fake pregnancy?”

This time, Olivia was the one who looked embarrassed. She said aggrievedly, “It’s all Jakey’s fault. He refused to marry me and even threatened to jump off the cliff. I’m not fit to be called a woman if I can tolerate such behavior.

“That’s why I lied to him that I am pregnant.”

Isabella noticed that Olivia had addressed Jake as Jakey.

She had a pained expression on her face as she tried to probe further. “When did this happen?”

Olivia’s eyes shifted from the left to the right, not daring to look at Isabella.

Isabella wrapped her arms around her chest and leaned back on the chair leisurely. She waited patiently for

an answer.

Olivia knew that she could not avoid Isabella’s question and admitted, “Just before the New Year, when you and my brother went overseas…”

“Do both of you like each other?” Isabella asked.

“Erm…” Olivia’s eyes reddened. “I thought this was the case.

“However, he refused to marry me, so I’m not sure about that.”

Olivia’s eyes were flashing with indignation. It was obvious that she was agitated.

Isabella was stunned. She sighed and said, “Jake cannot marry you, Olivia.”

Olivia was shocked. Her eyes widened in disbelief. “Why?”

Isabella was silent for a moment. She finally decided to tell Olivia the truth.

“Jake is a second-generation subject of a mysterious experiment. He had no say over his life or death.

“He cannot control his fate. He is as good as a man without a life.”

Isabella frowned She had been researching the circumstances that Jake was in. However, she was not able to make any headway in her investigations.
