Their Bundle Of Joy novel Chapter 6

The taxi stopped quietly at the gate of the Cloud River community. Isabel took Celia’s hand and was about to walk into the community. However, a man suddenly ran over and pushed Celia away. Then he covered Isabel’s mouth and dragged her into a car on the side of the road.

The man moved quite fast. Obviously, he was well-trained.

Isabel tried to struggle. But, she felt a pain in her head and then she fainted.

When Isabel woke up again, it was already dark.

Isabel found out that she was in her bedroom.

She turned on the light. The food on the bedside table had been cold.

She rushed out of bed to open the door, only to find that it was chained from the outside.

She rushed to the balcony, which was also locked from the outside.

Isabel was placed under house arrest.

Her mobile phone was taken away by Henry.

The house phone was also disconnected.

Isabel had no way to get in touch with the outside world.

"Open the door. Open the door. Let me out." Isabel panicked. There was no doubt that Miah let someone kidnap her. Miah wanted to put her under house arrest until the eighth day of next month, and then let her marry Robert.

Then, Miah appeared, "Isabel, your father said that you often didn’t go home at night. You know, that has ruined our family traditions. So you are not allowed to go out again before school starts."

She drugged Isabel herself last night. She had thought that Robert would succeed. However, Robert told her, "Don’t expect him to help Q.D. Group tide over the difficulties."

But what about Abby’s life if the company went bankrupt?

At least, the Q.D. Group couldn’t go bankrupt before Abby could marry a wealthy family.

"Miah Byrne, if it wasn’t for you, how could I not go home at night?"

Isabel didn’t even want to call her by mother when she saw Miah.

She didn’t expect that this woman drugged her and gave her to Robert. It was disgusting to think about that.

"Henry, look at her. Usually, when you are not at home, she calls me by full name like this. I care about her with all my heart, and last night, I was so worried about her that I couldn’t sleep. But as a result, she didn’t appreciate me at all, and my kindness was taken as malice." Miah immediately began to cry.

Again and again, Isabel took a deep breath.

Today, Isabel had a thorough insight into Miah’s ability to make unfounded countercharges.

Isabel glanced at Henry who had just appeared outside the door and said angrily, "Dad, there was something wrong with my soup last night. The soup was drugged. If someone hadn’t saved me, I would have been taken to his villa by Robert. I just want to know who drugged me last night."

Things had come to such an extent that Isabel did not want to endure anymore. She must tear off her stepmother’s disguise today. Otherwise, Henry would only believe in Miah’s words.

Otherwise, Isabel would be framed by Miah to marry Robert sooner or later.

"You mean the spareribs and kelp soup last night?" Miah frowned, wiped her eyes and asked Isabel in an affected way.

"You know better than anyone else." Isabel was sure that she had only had the soup and wine last night. Celia also drank wine, but Celia was OK, so there was only something wrong with the soup.

"Look, Henry. It was she who did not go home at night and behaved badly. Now she’s going to frame me. Abby, you and I also drank the soup. We all were OK, while she was the only one who was not OK."

"Yes, I had the soup, too. I was fine." Henry frowned, and grew more and more disgusted with Isabel. "From today on, you are not allowed to go anywhere. Just stay in your room and reflect on yourself."

"I don’t..." Isabel cried. But Henry just ignored her, and Miah also showed a smile.

She was placed under house arrest.

She was completely placed under house arrest.

Isabel went on a hunger strike.

Every day, someone would send the three meals into the room on time through the crack of the door. Isabel refused to eat and pushed them out.

For three days, Isabel hadn’t eaten anything.

Every day, she spent her time sleeping and being in a daze.
